EXPERIMENTS:
- writing scripts that could take place when telling someone how i feel about them, the positive and the negative
- possibly having two people act out these scripts
- draw the faces of these people from memory. try to figure out why i might remember them the way i do.
- things i associate with crushes and WHY or WHAT these things mean.
- writing a blurb about the 15 people i feel most comfortable thinking about. who they are to me, what that means.

this probably doesn't make any sense

conveniently located & fully editable

researchers mapped the structure of sexual networks in a columbus, ohio high school
i mapped all the crushes i have had throughout my entire life

maybe i should add peter bearman to that list

corrie & i recently came up with a concept to help ourselves become more honest and genuine in our everyday lives, which i know for myself, can occasionally be near impossible. it sounds stupid, but it is actually awesome and i'm totally into it. you go through your cell phone and say, to yourself or to whom ever you are with, the blunt, honest text message you would, in theory, send each person.
