 Arrow: sucks she canceled on you.

10:54 AM whatever she was poor and that makes her inferior.

 me: ahhaha

  she may still do something with me tonight

  and i have several other options if she cant

 Arrow: nice

 me: she just said she had a bad migraine and it wouldn’t be fun

  she wants to meet me when she is herself

10:55 AM Arrow: I’ll buy that, I’m not a big shiny ball of joy when I have one.

 me: yeah, i know… besides she sounds like she loves me on the phone

 Arrow: but you should force her to let you do her in the butt since she stood you up. only fair

 me: i used to be bad at talking on the phone

  lol

  i’ll do that

10:56 AM u think you are going to be able to set us up a double date anytime soon?

 Arrow: nothing on the horizon I’ve got to say.

  though I’m thinking of sleeping with Katie. What’re your thoughts?

10:57 AM me: katie….

  she lost all that weight

  looks much better

  do it

10:58 AM you should pick another girl out of the house for our double date

 Arrow: You have a skewed sense of women’s weight, she was always thin.

 me: don’t do the fat one though

  u wouldn’t have slept with her before though

  u have to admit, she’s much more attractive now

11:01 AM Arrow: I really don’t think her body has changed much in the last year, you can look back at her photos. The reason I wasn’t sleeping with her before is cause I thought it’d be weird and stupid to sleep with someone in a group of people I hang out with a lot. Which is still something I’m thinking about that was really more my point in asking your thoughts.

11:02 AM me: oh

  i think it’s okay

  there will be a storm when you dump her

  but you can navigate it if you are smart and caring

11:04 AM Arrow: yeah the whole thing would be weird, cause I got to say I don’t really want to date her, and I don’t know if I could get away with just sleeping with her. But I might. You never know with that group.

 me: do it

  or i will

  lol

  i was eyeing her at the last party

  didn’t talk to her much though

  maybe i’ll sleep with the virgin

 Arrow: hahaha, “i’m only doing this to protect you from Planer”

11:05 AM I think she went to memphis to find her man and not be a virgin anymore.

 me: what man?

 Arrow: so you might be too late.

11:06 AM that dude hunter

  I don’t know if you met him.

  he had a beard and then shaved it.

11:07 AM me: dont know

11:08 AM who was the one i talked to last time about religion?

  she wanted me

11:10 AM Arrow: I think you mean Lucy. Though I’m pretty sure she doesn’t want you.

 me: hmm

  why’s that?

11:11 AM Arrow: mostly cause she’s really profoundly obsessed with this hunter guy.

 me: oh

 Arrow: but if he shuts her down over this visit she may come around. THough I don’t really know why you’d wanna sleep with lucy.

 me: dude, i could have any of those girls if i went for them (except maybe rachel)

11:12 AM Arrow: love the girl but she ain’t exactly a lovingpot.

  Rachel’d probably be the easiest.

  that is if she weren’t dating the other Planer.

11:13 AM me: easiest for u

  but she likes you enough to where it would be tough for me

  the rest of the girls would be very very easy

 Arrow: I’m talking hypothetically.

 me: i only work in the realms of the practical

11:14 AM  _

  what have you got going on tonight?

11:15 AM Arrow: I don’t know I don’t want to drink much tonight cause I’m having trouble shaking this darn cold and I figure I’ll be fairly drunk tomorrow night.

11:16 AM me: what’s going on tomorrow night?

 Arrow: Andrea’s rape fest.

11:17 AM me: ah

  u plan on getting really drunk at that?

11:18 AM adn giving in to andrea’s raping?

 Arrow: nah I’ll probably be driving so I can’t really drink all that much I guess. And I really don’t want to give in to Andrea.

11:19 AM me: lol

11:20 AM Arrow: Dude you see Bobby Fischer died? We should try drinking chess again in his honor.

11:21 AM me: he did?

  wasn’t he runing for russia’s premier?

 Arrow: no that’s gerry kasparov

11:22 AM I gotta head to class. Peace

 me: later

  drinking chess is on

  it’ll have to be wine

  or scotch and good beer

  maybe at browers

 

me: i feel so lazy

  i haven’t done anything successful all day

  just had fletch over and we watched the football games

 Backum: its 9 degrees here!

 me: it’s gonna be 24 here tonight

 Backum: that can count as productivity

 me: haha

  i guess

8:10 PM i ate tons of food

  so sleepy

  watching teh matrix on tv

  what’d you do?

 Backum: hmmm

  edm meeting

  senior class committee meeting

8:11 PM skipped my writing center shift for rush

  which was great

  we did “return to childhood”

  the party definitely helped attendance

 me: what is return to childhood?

 Backum: i drank so much capri sun

  gushers

 me: hahahaa

 Backum: fruit by the foot

  goldfish

  disney movies

 me: awesome

 Backum: friendship bracelets

8:12 PM me: haha silly

  what’re you doing now?

8:13 PM Backum: making a Faces-Open album

  chatting with maggie

 me: maggie?

 Backum: my room mate

8:14 PM me: ah

  i am having a dinner at my place tomorrow

  i need to clean

  but i don’t feel like it

8:15 PM Backum: my room is so messy…

8:16 PM maybe you can do it when you have more energy

8:17 PM me: maybe i’ll get more excited later

  or i’ll just relax all night

8:18 PM Backum: i’ve been meaning to organize my life for days now

8:19 PM me: me too

  more like weeks

  lol

8:20 PM Backum: my cell phone is somewhere in this pile of stuff on my bed

8:21 PM So the reason my camera was found last night

  is that my friend amanda was hooking up with someone

  and he somehow fell out of her bed

8:22 PM which is lofted so its a big drop…

 me: haha

 Backum: and while he was recovering on the floor and she was laughing, he found the camera

 me: nice!

  it was fate

  hook up fate

  

8:23 PM Backum: totally

8:25 PM so do you think it will snow tonight?

 me: in seattle or ohio?

8:26 PM no idea about ohio

  seattle, no

  to dry

8:27 PM Backum: wow

  i just got an email from my Tron

8:28 PM apparently my sister cried after her new haircut

  poor jules

 me: awwww

  poor girl

 Backum: yeah

  she has enough pressure in her life without someone screwing with her hair

8:29 PM julie’s an overachiever

 me: really?

 Backum: yeah but its like…she doesn’t realize it

  the other day she said the only subject she excels in is spanish

  but she has perfect grades

8:30 PM so that’s obviously not true

 me: weird

  what’d u tell her?

 Backum: i told her she should go to barcelona

  lol

  no i try to be understanding and not preachy

  but also encouraging

8:31 PM we actually had a really long talk over break about self-image and school

  it was really interesting

 me: hmmm…. what was your advice? or did she advise you?

8:32 PM Backum: well we were pretty much just talking about math and science

  and how girls are usually steered toward reading and writing for some reason

  and guys are encouraged to do more quantitative things

  i was just telling her to try to stay engaged in her classes

8:33 PM i pretty much checked out after sophomore year chemistry b/c i was discouraged

 me: really?

 Backum: but i think it was only about confidence, not ability

 me:

  sucks that you weren’t encouraged properly

  do you regret it?

 Backum: i don’t know

  not really

8:34 PM because its not like high school defines who you are in the future

  psychology at kenyon really emphasizes research

  so i think i have a pretty good understanding of data and stats

  psych in general made me more analytical

8:35 PM plus i never had any kind of great love for math

  even before high school

  i’ve loved reading ever since i learned to read so i think it was pretty inevitable that my major would focus on that

8:36 PM me: i loved reading too

  i think i have read more than anyone else i have met

  i spent the ages of 7-16 buried in books

8:37 PM at one point i was reading 1-2 big ones a day… i lived out in the country and my parents wouldn’t let me do anything

  lol

 Backum: lol

  that’s awesome

 me: i think that the more you do something, the more interested you become in it

  business became much more interesting for me later

 Backum: that’s definitely true

 me: and i am starting to get into web design/programming

  and i used to think i would despise that stuff

8:38 PM but once you find a reason and start doing it, it gets more interesting

8:39 PM Backum: yeah, its pretty rare that things are genuinely boring if you get invested in them

8:40 PM me: yep

  though it would have been cool to get paid to read…

  though i hate editing

8:41 PM and not huge on doing other peoples writing assignments

  i prefer to do my own writing

8:42 PM i feel like napping

  but it seems inappropriate at this time

 Backum: you could just go to bed

8:43 PM i should be in bed but i’m not sleepy

  i consumed too much sugar when i returned to childhood

8:44 PM me: haha

15 minutes

8:59 PM me: so lazy

  just laying back on my couch

  laptop on my lap

9:00 PM matrix playing on tv

  talking to friends

9:02 PM Backum: that’s the best

  i’m going crazy on Faces-Open

  friending freshmen girls

9:03 PM me: lol

  if you were someone else, i’d think you were dirty lol

 Backum: haha

  i know

  have you ever seen the jackie and debra video on youtube

9:04 PM me: don’t think so

 Backum: http://youtube.com/watch?v=RdpKwwomO_A

  i’ve watched this like 4 times today

9:05 PM me: i’ll watch it on the next commercial

9:09 PM Backum: hey sorry my computer died

  it randomly does that…so annoyin

  annoying

12 minutes

9:22 PM me: that’s a funny video

  jackie!

 Backum: lol

9:23 PM exactly

  a girl named jackie came to rush tonight

  and the whole time I wanted to be like, JACKIE

 me: oh god

  how frightening

  i bet she doesn’t come to rush anymroe

  

9:24 PM Backum: lol

  i didn’t do it

  i was normal

9:25 PM me: haha

  sure…

9:30 PM Backum: btw i realized i can’t take that seminar anyway

  b/c i have business and finance committee monday night

  and its crazy to make them rearrange for a class i don’t even have to take

  plus greek council before that

9:31 PM me: you are really busy with this sorority stuff

 Backum: actually i don’t really have to go to greek council if i don’t want to

  i can send a rep

9:32 PM me: why dont you?

 Backum: i don’t know

  i might

9:33 PM we’ve only had one meeting so far and laulea couldn’t make it so i went

9:34 PM but its so fun

 me: what do you guys talk about?

 Backum: brendan uses a gavel

 me: really?

9:35 PM lol

 Backum: lol he’s ridiculous

  this is his third semester as greek council president

  they revised the constitution so that its a full academic year

  before it was like…second semester through first semester

9:36 PM so elections were in december

  i think he just didn’t want to give up his power

  we just talk about random stuff

  last week it was rush

  greek week in the fall…

  pledging

9:37 PM me: kind of a group jerkoff session?

 Backum: haha

  well we have an advisor

  brent

  who is kind of an idiot

 me: of course

 Backum: one time he wasn’t there and i guess they spent the whole time bitching about one of the deans

  and elena put all of it in the minutes and sent them to brent

9:38 PM me: lol

 Backum: and he sent them to the dean

  it was awkward

 me: pj god

  geez

 Backum: and i ran into elena and i hadn’t even said anything except hi, and she was like ITS NOT MY FAULT

  …but it was

 me: man

9:39 PM i bet that girl had a lot of pissed people

 Backum: haha

  yeah

  she’s obsessed with rules

  so she thought that since no one specifically told her, she shouldn’t be in trouble

9:40 PM me: ugh

6 minutes

9:46 PM Backum: ok well i should probably get some sleep

9:47 PM me: what time is it there?

 Backum: 12:47

  we’re on east coast time

 me: oh wow

10:08 AM Harm-Stop: I read that we have had 4% inflation in the last 12 months

  i’m trying to figure out what to do with my money

 Harm-Stop: ING

10:10 AM savings account with 4% interest

Subject: Quick Favor

Hi guys,

I had a quick favor to ask of you all.

I am entering with a team into the Seattle University, U. of Washington, and U. of Oregon’s Business Plan Competitions and wanted to get some feedback on the name of the company.

If you wouldn’t please mind taking a quick second (it literally take no more than 15 seconds!) to go over this survey, it would go a long way in helping us out.

To give a brief background,

We are creating a business plan for a new website and wanted feedback on what it should be named.

The website is a travel information portal and planning site for the youth (16-30) travel market, and specifically for Europe. It includes components of a guidebook, travel planning search engines, and social networking elements where you can meet fellow travelers.

Please help us by sharing your perspective.

Thank you!
