The better-known Sex and the Ivy chronicled my adventures as a Harvard undergrad from August 2006 to January 2008. That blog -- along with my sex life -- is in the process of being resurrected.

  1. OMG BERRYLINE IS HIRING AND I NEED A JOB! This must be a sign.
    Unfortunately, I think it would only be a conflict of interest if I applied for a position at my favorite Harvard Square establishment. And by “conflict of interest”, I mean that I would clearly consume two liters of frozen yogurt a day if given the opportunity.

  2. Re: Hamlet 2

    youngmanhattanite:

    bigcrush:

    seriously guys, save yourselves. It is terrible.

    blakeley:

    Shitty movie, we all walked out

    See, you really should have watched part one first. Otherwise it’s just confusing.

    Said my friend, not joking: “Was there a Hamlet 1?”

    Related stupidity here.

  5. Nothing like an old email from my sex-positive, militantly atheist best friend to make me miss her.

    Subject: hey, you wanna…

    start an atheistic anti-true love revolution club on campus? called the Order of the Goddess?

    PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE????

    WE NEED TO RAISE AWARENESS. Religion is dangerous and awful and so is this “movement.” We need something to counter this. DESPERATELY. I’m becoming more and more convinced that we need to be actively converting people to the side of atheism. Let’s go forth and proselytize!

    Also I’ve already started packing. Woo hoo! And I just started crying because I really have accepted that Sascha is gone.

    Also you had better say yes to this. It’s not really a request.

    We can have a whole pantheon consisting of the flying spaghetti monster, the invisible pink unicorn, and Bertrand Russell’s teapot. And we can have teas! And discussions with religious groups on campus. And promote sexual promiscuity!

    Also why are you never online? Do you hate me?

  6. Current Facebook profile photo: Hamlet sticking up his adorable butt to take a sip from the lake in Boston&#8217;s Public Gardens. By the time I get back to the East, it will have been a MONTH since I&#8217;ve seen him. It&#8217;s our longest separation yet!

  7. There's never time or place for what comes out of my mouth.

    • Wesley (Evelina's boyfriend): What kind of yoga positions did you guys do?
    • Me: I don't know. Downward dog? Reverse cowgirl?
    • Couple in line with us bursts into laughter.
    • Me: I guess I said that kind of loudly.

  8. Yawn.

    Good news: I am no longer on German time!
    Bad news: My sleeping schedule is somewhere mid-Atlantic right now. At this rate, I’m not going to make it to the Pacific timezone before I depart California in eight days.

    I think middle-of-the-night phone calls are to blame. When he was still in Germany, I gave Patrick a free pass to call me whenever, a stupid move I attribute to 1) missing him a lot and 2) severely underestimating how much this would extend my jetlag. I would say the weird sleep is a symptom of the Southeast Asia trip alone but it’s pretty telling that Patrick (in Boston) and I (in Los Angeles) both passed out within an hour of each other earlier this evening … though his 8pm was much more reasonable than my 5pm here. I suspect I’ll be on Patrick Daylight Time (PDT) until I get to Boston, where I’ll probably skip over Eastern time altogether and arrive at Pacific. Figures!

  9. Have you ever applied for a job just for the perks?

    Because that’s what I’m doing right now. I’m targeting Boston-area bookstores and gyms, since I want discounts at the former and membership in the latter. At the very least, I’ll be incredibly well-read or in shape?

    (I also want to be a dogwalker, but I imagine that’s not the most reliable income source.)

  10. To Go List

    Since I’ve been talking to my mother a lot about traveling next year during my time off Harvard …

    Domestic

    • Chicago - Nearly went to college at Northwestern, but got in early to Harvard so I never made my spring break visit. Have wanted to see Chicago ever since.
    • Portland - Have never been to Oregon despite living on the West Coast my entire life. Time to amend that!
    • Providence - Just a super short train ride from Boston but I’ve never managed to make the day trip. Maybe when my little sister does her college hunting, I’ll take her to Brown?
    • Seattle - Went once I was 17 for a journalism conference. Thought it was gorgeous but my status as a minor obviously prevented me from fully enjoying the city. Dying to go back. It’s too bad Kennedy left for Colorado instead of sticking around.

    International

    • Asia
      • Cambodia - If I do Angkor Homestay
      • China - Been to Hong Kong thrice but never Beijing or Shanghai
      • India
      • Indonesia - Jakarta, mostly
      • Singapore - Have wanted to go to Singapore for years
      • Taiwan - My cousin is living in Taipei for the next couple years
      • Thailand again - Because there’s so much left to see besides Bangkok
    • Middle East
      • Dubai
      • … and pretty much ANYWHERE else there
    • Europe (all remainders from this summer)
      • Paris
      • Prague
      • Venice
      • Vienna

    It’s time to save like mad. I’m working all fall in Boston, placing myself on a shopping moratorium, and getting a piggy bank. Oh, the places I hope to go!
