Valentine's Day approaches!! Hearts are everywhere!!

(February 13, 2012)
Oh, what a lovely evening. I definitely slept a lot today, but given that I was awake until five AM two nights ago and three AM last night, I feel justified. I'm kind of nervous about tomorrow - I have a test in Heat and Mass Transfer, which could either be ugly or surprisingly okay, and then I have a fifteen minute presentation I'm giving on some of my brother's research. I haven't rehearsed the latter and I've barely studied for the former. I've justified my seriously weak studying thus far because it's open book, notes, homework, what have you, but somehow that's only making me more nervous. Bahaha.
Alright, that's boring.
So, uh, Courtney's setting KAITLIN up with Spencer this weekend.
Ba

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I confess that when Kaitlin texted me, telling me that she'd noticed that Spencer and I were friends and what should she think of him, I called her and told her way too much. Like pretty much everything's that's happened with Spencer and I. All the same, I see them getting along quite well and I know for a fact she'll enjoy herself, because he's a great guy. I also feel like if it weren't for the fact that Kaitlin will undoubtedly NOT consider Spencer as a serious candidate since I told her about all of our history (I was nice, I'm just saying that I don't see Kaitlin feeling comfortable dating him under the circumstances), they would do quite well together. Kaitlin lacks several major deficiencies I possessed that prevented the Spencer/Me thing, primary among them the fact that she is sensitive where I am not, and enormously selfless where I am not. I see that working.

And one of the awesomest quotes ever, to begin your week:

"There is one responsibility which no man can evade; that responsibility is his personal influence. Man's unconscious influence is the silent, subtle radiation of personality - the effect of his words and his actions on others. THis radiation is tremendous. Every moment of life man is changing, to a degree, the life of the whole world.
Every man has an atmosphere which is affecting every other man. He cannot escape for one moment from this radiation of his character, this constant weakening or strengthening of others. Man cannot evade the responsibility by merely saying it is an unconscious influence.
Man can select the qualities he would permit to be radiated. He can cultivate sweetness, calmness, trust, generosity, truth, justice, loyalty, nobility, and make them vitally active in his character. And by these qualities he will constantly affect the world.
This radiation to which I refer comes from what a person really is, not from what he pretends to be. Every man by his mere living is radiating either sympathy, sorrow, morbidness, cynicism, or happiness and hope or any one of a hundred other qualities. Life is a state of radiation and absorption. To exist is to radiate, to exist is to be the recipient of radiation."
