Be gracious.

Regardless of your station in life, you have no right to treat anyone else unkindly or unfairly. Part of being Southern is being kind.

there’s one thing i want to say, so i’ll be brave, you were what i wanted. i gave what i gave, i‘m not sorry i met you.

weatherman said it’s gonna snow. by now i should be used to the cold. mid-february shouldn’t be so scary. it was only december, i still remember the presents, the tree, you and me.

but you went away, how dare you? i miss you. they say i’ll be okay, but i’m not going to ever get over you.

living alone here in this place, i think of you, and i’m not afraid. your favorite records make me feel better, ‘cause you sing along with every song. i know you didn’t mean to give them to me.

but you went away, how dare you? i miss you. they say i’ll be okay, but i’m not going to ever get over you.

it really sinks in, you know, when i see it in stone.

‘cause you went away, how dare you? i miss you. they say i’ll be okay, but i’m not going to ever get over you.

why is it that the boys i fall for never like me back?  or if they do, it’s never at the right time. and the ones i have no feelings for practically fall in love with me. i’m not saying that they’re not great guys, it’s just that i’m very picky and i know what i want, and they’re not it.

being single is rough, especially when you push every guy away because you’re still afraid of getting hurt.

and sometimes it’s lonely.

end of pointless post about me complaining.

1980-rehab.

i know i’m still crazy, but i’ve changed a lot.  and i’ve cleaned up a little, and you’re still hot.  but if i ain’t the one, i hope you find true love.  and if not, i’m here when push comes to shove.

I’m in such a sassy mood that it’s not even funny. look out, everyone.

i’m honestly getting really sick of these bomb threats. for anyone who doesn’t go to pitt and doesn’t know what i’m talking about go to either of these websites:

although, the second one hasn’t been updated. three more came in around 5:30, so we’re at about…3 and a half hours. basically to sum it up: we’ve had 16 bomb threats in the past month and a half. on several buildings: chevron (chem building), cathedral of learning (42ish floor building, 2nd tallest academic building in the world), david lawrence, posvar, towers (freshman dorms, at 3 am too), thackery. 4 today, 3 yesterday, 2 the day before.  there was a $10,000 reward for any information that led to a conviction, it has since been raised to $50,000.

i’m legitimately getting scared here.  ever since towers had to be evacuated at 3 am on tuesday, everything seems more real. and i don’t care if people think i’m stupid for buying into this. but whoever is behind this is sick.  they could care less about how much harm they are doing.  we just had a tragic shooting a month ago, and now this is taking place.  this university is such a large community, but we all need to stick together through this.  i know i joke all the time about hunting down the person and getting the $50,000 reward, but honestly we all need to have our eyes and ears open at all times.  this person could be walking among us and we don’t even know it.  

in my personal opinion, i don’t think it’s a student whatsoever.  at first i honestly did.  i figured, and i think we all did, that someone just wanted to get out of an exam.  but 16 bomb threats since february 13th? that’s just stupid.  one of my friends told me a theory their professor had, which i now think is what it is: a university employee who recently got fired and is angry about it.  i think maybe someone in the IT department.  after all, they sent in anonymous emails and still haven’t gotten caught, they obviously know what they’re doing.  i heard a rumor today that the email address was international.  and that’s even more scary.  what if this person is an actual terrorist and has an eventual plan? what if they’re doing all these fake threats in hopes that we stop taking them seriously and they actually plant a bomb? what if they say it’s in a building but actually plant one in another building because they know people will be flocking there after being evacuated?  what if they just say “i planted a bomb somewhere on campus, but i’m not telling you where”? you can’t exactly evacuate pitt’s campus.  for anyone who’s never been here…we don’t exactly have a campus. we’re in the middle of a city.  you’d have to evacuate all of oakland, including cmu, carlow university, all the businesses, upmc presby and montfiore (hospitals).  that’s just not possible. i saw someone comment on a post-gazette article: april 2nd: 2 threats in 2 locations, april 3rd: 3 threats in 3 locations, april 4th: 4 threats in 4 locations.  what’s going to happen tomorrow? 5 buildings? what about friday the 13th (superstitious, i know)? what about finals? we have 2 weeks of class left and then finals.  i can’t focus on studying when i’m constantly concerned that the building i’m in might blow up.  what if we have to evacuate chevron during my ochem final (i’ve had to evacuate chevron twice in the past 2 weeks, once for a fire which was completely unrelated, and once yesterday for a bomb threat)? i just don’t feel safe. and i don’t know if other students feel that way. i feel bad because i know the police are doing everything possible, but i just want to get out of this city right now.  i don’t feel comfortable.  none of my friends at other schools understand, they all just think it’s a joke.

okay, as i’m typing this…just got a text…3 more buildings. victoria (school of nursing building), frick fine arts, music building. officially about to cry. seven today. i want to go home. now.
