by the way-sorry to say that because my cellphone is broken and long distance rates would make audioblogging exhorbitant (if even possible) on someone elses phone bill, so i will not be able to audioblog until after the holidays. much apologetic love.

i HAAATE the tasp house question "on a probem or topic in a field that interests you." in that sentence i capitalized absolutely nothing that was supposed to be capitalized but as always, i will blame this slip on the waning hour instead of my waning mind or energy. It is 2:00 in the old am, yes, I maintain, solid enough excuse for a slip, but still- the unavoidable truth reminds me that I have been too long without the contagion of your intelligence. Where is that beautiful cow, adam? i havent yet written about tasp. thats not true aimee, you're a big fat liar. (i wrote about it for the t-house app- evaluate your tasp, and then the other about self government, benefits and ineficiencies of democracy, something like that i dont remember..) anyhow the point of this post, if it has one, if anthing i write ever has one- if anything in this world of enveloping futility has one... gaasp, (*aimee falls to floor, back of hand on forehead. Body shakes in lung racking sobs) goodness gracious i get side tracked easily. anyways the point of this post was to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BONNE ANNéE!!!!!!!!! and also to say that i changed my email address (the other has been malfunctioning recently) to me_aimee@hotmail.com. I'll still check the other one for straggling emails, but i want to eventually wean off of it.
i dont have a new years resolution- no wait, let me make one up right now. ok. now i have three (when it rains it pours. ha- a cliché on the blog-even worse than swear words!!). first being (sorry this will sound cheezy- no, wait, i'll try to decheese the wording-) to thank and compliment my friends (and family) more often. Have I told you TASPers how good looking you really are? And then my second being to log my time (my psychology book told me to) during school with the hopes of taking count of and minimizing my excessive amounts of wasted time. Then with this new style of efficient living, i will be able to get more sleep (my psychology book told me that, too) and maintain an average of 7.5 hours of sleep a night. Thats sound lovely.
For anyone still reading this message, Congratulations!!!!! you have made it too the end.
mwah, love you all much. p.S. isn't it reassuring to see that it is now 2004? OUR GRADUATION (and hence college entrance) YEAR!!!!!!!
je vous aime.

Kelsie I certainly hope writing about TASP isn't a form of prostitution, because I have been milking it like some sort of beautiful beatiful cow. You guys should see how much I'm talking you up (Never have I had the priviledge of learning with such self-motivated, genuinely intelligent individuals. Also they were incredibly attractive [alright I didn't really write the attractive part but I was definitely thinking it]). But yeah I talk about it alot. Also I find it funny that kelsie wrote %*^^$* instead of actually swearing. To fight this trend I will officially say "shit." Yes I put it in quotations, yes I am really bad-ass, yes I am a giant dork. well here's to stressing about college see ya

there will NOT pass a day without a blog entry...

i have this playlist set up that loops over and over, just four songs - "if you want to sing out," "fast car," "(love is like) anthrax," and "kiss kiss kiss" from ddr. i'm like weeping into my whiskey over here i miss y'all so much (constantly, and un-festival-relatedly.) but then again you probably knew that.

am i the only one who feels cheap writing about tasp for college essays? actually, to be honest, the whole application process makes me feel like a prostitute. (i'm well aware that logically, that makes no sense - after all, i'm the one paying THEM.) i don't like being vulnerable to anyone, let alone anonymous strangers in some admissions office somewhere. plus if i do another edit of this motherfrickin cancer essay i'm going to vomit all over the keyboard.

but enough of that. i'm sure that those of you who are still wrestling with applications, you can provide enough whining on your own, and those of you who got in early and are done with the process - actually, you deserve to hear all the whining i can subject you to. look for private emails. but the distastefulness of it all is almost done, and i'm excited for the new year. and for second semester. i've been looking forward to those two things for so long that they're sort of starting to blend together. second semester senior year i will quit smoking, lose 20 pounds, and stop fighting with my family. in the new year i resolve to smoke a lot more, rarely go to class, and never do my homework.

not that any of y'all would fall into the dreaded (?) senioritis (i'm trying to picture tasper senioritis - "i decided, whatever, just fuck it. i dropped down to three extracurriculars per afternoon and let my average fall to a high a-minus.") since it's that time of year, that can be my end-of-blog question - what are people's new year's resolutions? i've been thinking a lot about mine. being only 17 years old, i don't have a whole lot of regrets, but some of my biggest are the decisions i've made that are going to keep me from going to college at these fabulous places that keep getting mentioned on the blog - not because i'm particularly obsessed with the ivy league or anything, but because it sure would be cool to go to school with you guys. i've almost always justified said decisions with "at least i'm having fun" - but more times than not, i was having no fun at all. so my new year's resolution is to finally do it - to HAVE A GOOD TIME in the last few months of high school, whatever that means to me.

but before i can do that, i have to finish these @#$!*% essays. i have no idea what to write about for the telluride house "topic of choice" essay at all - help me! (i was really paranoid about posting that on the blog, thinking that jamie would see it and report back to the cornell branch committee that i hadn't even started my topic of choice essay at this late date, but then i realized a. jamie doesn't read the blog, sniff sniff and b. jamie, of all people, knows the incredible depths of my procrastination.)

you see what happens when you don't blog? you get these stupid rambles from me. you know what really keeps my blogging concise? AUDIOBLOGGING! you don't need a mic or anything just the phone so pick it up and record a post! do i need to point out the fact that everyone except for tae-yeoun has been beaten by both me AND john? how sad is that? audioblog audioblog audioblog! now!

much love,
kelsey

p.s.: tae-yeoun, i LOVE the ravishing quote...

posted by Kelsey   [6:08 PM]

I was crawling through the books I bought over summer (yes, still not done with those) and this little passage caught my attention because it had to do with the word 'ravish':

" 'Thou still unravished bride of quietness,' " he quoted. -- "It seems to fit flowers so much better than Greek vases."
"Ravished is such a horrid word!" she said. "It's only people who ravish things."
"Oh I don't know -- snails and things," he said.
"Even snails only eat them. And bees don't ravish."
She was angry with him, turning everything into words. Violets were Juno's eyelids and windflowers were unravished brides. How she hated words, always coming between her and life! They did the ravishing, if anything did: ready-made words and phrases sucking all the life-sap out of living things.
...Ravished! How ravished one could be without ever being touched! Ravished by dead words become obscene, and dead ideas become obsessions.

i hope you all are enjoying your holiday. we're celebrating today with a hearty meal of latkes and ham (seriously. worst jews EVER.)
merry christmas to all, and to all a happy hanukkah!

posted by Kelsey   [1:41 PM]

For some strange reason, when I tried to audioblog and I entered the mailbox number 1221 followed by the pound-key, the system paused for like 3 secs and then stated in a very stately (and strangely computerized) tone, "good-bye." So Kelsey, although I promised to post one before Christmas, sadly I cannot - because the world hates me. Anyhow, I didn't have anything planned to say, but I figured, "hey, why not..." If I am doing something wrong, please inform me of my stupidity and the following instructions on what to do.... Thank you, and Merry Christmas (eve?) lol...

new audio blog: john, side a and side b.

the brochure is linked to the first word in my post but i've also added a link to it on the side. the new yorker - yesterday i went to get burritos and someone had left a copy of the new one (the fiction issue, too) in a booth and i was all excited and started reading it and was going to steal it but then my friend showed up and i got in line to order a burrito (carnitas, yum) and when i turned back around some girl was reading it. the pain of loss.

tae-yeoun's audio blog, part 1 and then part 2, made me cry.

administrative note: the audioblogs are going to be listed under the record a post link which can be found to the right. (the pretty boxes to the right, color coordinated by tae yeoun and chock full of useful information, are visible if you view the blog from reasonablyremarkable.blogspot.com instead of blogger.com)

posted by Kelsey   [9:30 PM]

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE.
how could we not be on the cover? still, john's like the star of the brochure, and we're all over the inside - while we represented a mere 27% of the 2003 tasp population, a full 65% of the pictures with people in them are of us. this statistically significant correlation, skewed left on a gaussian curve, with a z-score of .98, is enough to show that, indeed, we are the most attractive tasp EVER. (yes, i'm failing statistics.) also - robot hat action! in an officially-sanctioned telluride association publication!

way to call me out, john - but did anyone really think i was gonna get it in on time? but - hah! - just to explode your lowered expectations of my ability to meet a deadline, i recorded a post in hawaii! hah, double hah! i just hadn't posted the link yet. so it's here, in all of its embarrassing non-mai-tai-influenced karaoke-style glory. seriously, guys, you all can do better than this. show me up, please. instructions to the right...will post the links to messages as they're received.

better do it now, before the nagging begins in earnest....

This is my last post for a while cause I'm going to chicago for a month and won't have internet access. But I would like to say this. According to http://www.joi.org/celebrate/hanuk/ which is where I checked on the hannuka deadline, it started last night, which means every last one of us missed the deadline. More importantly, that includes Kelcey who initiated the idea. So as my last act on this blog for quite a while, I'm going to go record mine now...I hope when I check again sometime around January12th all of you have done likewise. Merry Christmas and Happy Hannuka to and of course a very happy New Year to all of you.

Awww thank you, John, Alex, my lack of a life/ inability to get over TASP has suddenly turned into something really really cool, and it makes me feel all warm and mushy inside. Although, John, I can't take credit for posting Bryan's aim link on the blog - that must have been Kelsey.

Christmas here is very, very odd, I can't even describe it. If I haven't said before, Christmas season lasts from early September to early April (with a slight break in October when they have Halloween decorations up next to the Christmas accessories). And Christmas and palm trees do not go nicely together.

Tintin. I too am vaguely familiar with TinTin - here, Cartoon Network, and before that the "i channel" (don't ask) used to show The Adventures of TinTin. Like Madeline, it was French but not that French with English dubbing.

Clockwork Orange - I said I had my brilliant underclassmen secretary/slave/successor read it with me (Paul is currently undergoing the TASP application process), and he says, and I sort of agree:

hey,
I just finished A Clockwork Orange. (It was really horrorshow.) Does your edition have Burgess' introduction? It basically explains the situation concerning the 21st chapter. I kinda pony Kubrick's reason for not including it; the last chapter wouldn't really play out horrorshow on the film screen.
I think what the inclusion (or non-inclusion) of the 21st affects is not the overall emotional impact of the book's message but the message itself. In the slovos of Burgess himself, "The twenty-first chapter gives the novel the quality of genuine fiction, an art founded on the principle that human beings change. ... When a fictional work fails to show change, then you are out of the field of the novel and into that of the fable or the allegory. The American or Kubrickian Orange is a fable; the British or world one is a novel." I do agree, though, that the transition wasn't very smooth. By waiting until the denouement before introducing Alex's transformation, it made his change of heart seem anticlimactic and somewhat perfunctory.
Amen, and all that cal...

I haven't posted in a bit, and I don't have time for an in depth update on my life and what it's like not having wisdom teeth; still, I just want to say, since no one has in a few months, you're damn cool Tae Yeoun. Constantly updating the site and the blog, it seemed Bryan had only posted his new AIM name five seconds earlier and already his name had an Instant Message link on it. Also, I suspected when I got mine, but the Matthew Shenanigan phone story confirmed it, Tae-Yeoun has been secretly sending sensitive and heart warming personalized birthday cards to people!

So thanks for being so cool. Cats out of the bag, and my question is, how is Christmas over there?

Ohohohoh! News from Mónica!
She could not figure out how to post, but she's read through the blog, and wants to say "congratulations on the acceptance letters."

"Some of my recommendations for the group:

Song recommendations:
* Doria Roberts. "Perfect." (Love á la folksy soul)
* Meshell Ndegeocello. Bitter (Expressive and patient jazzy soul)
* Enanitos Verdes. "Lamento Boliviano." (Rock that doesn't bracket its latinam roots)
* Pepe Aguilar. "Por Mujeres Como Tú." And, Luis Miguel. "Si Nos Dejan." (Traditional mexican songs about love that make me cry. Pepe Aguilar's timbre is perfect for the lyrics. "Si Nos Dejan" is a three-generation family favorite.)

Non-fiction recommendations:
* Hannah Arendt. Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil (The most influential book I read in 1999. I read Arendt's revision of the judge's verdict twenty times over, trembling so greatly that I could hardly read straight)
* Audre Lorde. "The Uses of Anger." (A short ten page essay that has been a recurring source of courage for me to speak, particularly in academic/intellectual spaces)
* Max Weber. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism (A masterful historical/sociological interpretation of how capitalism become over-subscribed. Weber takes on what (Marxian) historical materialism might/does not explain about capitalism.) "

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MATTHEW!

Silly Matthew, you had to be "dead asleep" when I called to say this. I thought about you on two different occasions this morning - Trout Quintet, Tchaik Symphony #5. It was a very, very good morning. The phone call: in the craziness preceding early December I forgot to send you a card, and by the time I realized this I thought it'd never reach you in time, so the call had been planned. So yes. Silly Matthew for sleeping.

I know we have dozens of texts up for discussion, but here's another. I've persuaded a friend to read A Clockwork Orange with me (could not do it alone) and I've been wondering about the last chapter of Part III that was not included in the movie nor, apparently, the first edition published in America. Somewhat in line with our seminar on The Book of Merlyn, my end-of-post question: why was this chapter not included?

Congratulations to you, Alex! I also got into U of Chicago. But, I've also applied elsewhere--many elsewheres, to be exact-- so I don't know where I'm going yet. (My college search is like liquid jelly, and is likely to remain so until May.) Hmm, "Elsewhere"...it's kind of reminiscent of The Giver . But, just the thought of having another TASPer getting into the same college is wonderful (Bryan, Jacob, Olga, Susan--I'm sure you guys can all relate).
Some funny things before I go and fill out more applications:
1.) I talked about Satanic Oatmeal in my U of Chicago application
2.) I think I'll end this with the long forsaken labor quote: My philosophy teacher was trying to conduct some sort of discussion on Plato and mathematics yesterday. Out of nowhere comes: "Eunice, you're a math person! I can tell just by looking at you!" If only college assessments of students were that easy...sigh.

yes congratualations everyone! I am applying to Harvard too but 1) I was too lazy for early action and 2) I probably won't get in...although I am excited that so many of you are coming to new england.

okay, as you all can see in your inboxes, figured out a new setup for the audioblogging which allows us a whole five minutes. yay, tasper voices - and music!

gah so much to do before friday, so little motivation. i miss you all immensely, and invite any of you who can scam your way to the left coast to my house, jan 3rd-6th. tara will be here and there will be untold tasper debauchery which i know you all want a slice of. aw, remember our short-lived attempts to counteract the ridiculous male homoeroticism with hot girl-on-girl action? and the phallic-free porch? *tear*

speaking of which, maxipad suitees (heeheehee susan), yesterday i was home sick and ate nothing all day except for meringues and pirate's booty. THAR BE GOOD. dude everything reminds me of tasp. like it's raining here which reminds me of that day early on, natashia, when we gorged ourselves at the bookstore, and then got caught in the rain, and made jamie pick us up at the jack-in-the-box - and of course by the time he arrived the rain had stopped. or the other day i was on a run (i'm always running, dammit) and i thought of how i tried to go on a run like the first morning of tasp, and a bunch of you gamely volunteered to come along - and all of you peeling off one by one, until by virtue of my awesome athletic prowess (what?) i had shook all of you except for brian. and then aimee and jared got lost! oh man good times good times.

okay in a less, well, stupid tasp-related vein, i've stumbled across a few things on the internet about our favorite mysterious subject, her fickle majesty creativity. first, an article about creativity and savant syndrome. second, a very intriguing little gadget - the "cybernetic poet," a fairly sophisticated computer poetry generator. it's fun to fiddle with the downloadable version. it also seems vaguely unsavory - i'm sure there are lots of interesting issues raised by the whole concept, all of which i'm too dense to handle. anyone? and, finally, as i already shared with alex, the divine mr. picassohead. hours of modernist fun.

i'm trying to (and pretty much succeeding in) denying the fact that i'm going to be running a marathon on sunday. 5am hawaii time, 9am blog time - think of me guys. (actually, i think you can track me online, though i don't know why you'd want to.) and then after that 7 glorious days on the beach. or, supposedly, working on college applications in paradise. (yeah right). anyway i've not got much to say. come visit me.

i'm going to finish with a question, just for the hell of it:
when are you going to do your audio blog?
mwahahahahahhahhaahahaha best jewish-mother question ever.

love you all, for realz.

p.s.: congratulations john! did you have a nice birthday?

Hey everyone- so i got my wisdom teath out a few hours ago. Plus two extra molars that were coming in sideways; so with 6 less teath and two liquid ounces of codine in my blood stream I'm not doing too bad.

But the real purpose of this blog was to annouce that I am one step closer to going to Deep Springs- I was contacted by a student on the application comittee (ApCom) and he told me I made the first cut on the application process. I look fwd to hearing how others that applied did and hope the best to all of you.

And don't worry natasha, I picked up a worse case of senioritis sometime early junior year and i hope to still come out ok.

Sorry, Eunice, I'm neither Bryan nor Matthew, but I second your request that Bryan and Matthew make their existence known as soon as possible. From what I've heard of them in October (!) both sound very, very busy - so busy Matthew was tempted to tell me to forget Haydn (if you're out there Matt I listened to his string quartet #1 today!) and Bryan felt guilty he was spending far too much time telling me how busy he was.

Actually, I don't think he'd mind if I post this excerpt from his email - this was received on October 25:
Heh, I've been busy - especially since I've found that there's more to the story than what I had said in my EE and I decided to focus on something a little less concrete. So I'm reworking my EE; it's half-done and it's due in six days. Oh well. Anyhow, the past weeks have been rough with everything going on. We're dropping like flies over here. Two of my friends have passed out from exhausation, and most of us are sick but trying to work our way through it. Let's just say between EE, G4, IB World Lit 1, AP Calc, AP Psych, the regular IB stuff, and college applications (not to mention all the extracurricular crap - btw, my first concert with YAO is tomorrow), I've had little time. In fact, I've spent far too long checking my e-mail so I'll be off.

For non-IB people, if you wish to request the IB Veta Mecum to reading Bryan's email, Acronyms Section, contact me and I'll be happy to explain and while I'm at it, whine endlessly about how horrible IB is. Actually when I think about it the only class I'm getting an unreasonable amount of work from is Art (what I'm putting off as I write this, argh) so it's really weird when I try to reason out where all this work is coming from. Really I'm just being a drama queen about IB because I stress over everything I have to do but don't even get around to doing it.

Okay, post too long. But just to address (not answer) your question on spam, Olga, spammers usually get their email addresses from public mailing lists or websites with email addresses on them, such as this blog. So that might explain how you got the same spam as a few other taspers. If the spam is really offending you I suppose we could take the email addresses out of the [taspers] box in the right...

One of the most boring dreams that you can have at night (after thinking about diagonal acrostics) is going through all the possible rearragements of the word "smile" I dreamt in black, with white "arial black" font. They say you can't read in your dreams. Maybe it's just dyslexia.
When I finish all my college applications, I'm going to indulge in a week's worth of revelry, trampling extra essays, building a brochure bonfire, burning them all while jumping through the flames. And I will be wearing my TASP shirt. Until then, beloved TASPers!
Oh, and one last note:
I said I wasn't naming names, but I'll make an exception here: BRYAN!! MATTHEW!! Do not toy with my temperament--it is bad enough with all these college essays. Post!! Post!!!
