I was meant to be nocturnal. I'd stay up all night, every night, surrounded by people but alone in the world, if I didn't have to get up in the morning and try to be productive. The good thing about being a college student is that everyone expects me to look exhausted, so I can hide my habit and blame it on homework.

Does anyone know "200 Miles" by the Cowboy Junkies? That's my theme song. Driving through nowhere, alone, at night, in the rain.

I'm supposed to be writing a short paper on the influence of Confucian filial piety on 5th century BC Chinese cultural ideals. Would much rather be on Mudcat.
