Dear Self,
Never bring up anything even mildly interesting in the presence of your father.
Remember this night. You mentioned the ethics essay you're just starting to write. Your father spent the next 20 minutes lecturing you about ethics, ethical principles, how you should write the essay, the right structure of an essay, boring shit and more shit. You migrated from the dinner table to your desk; he followed you and continued to talk. You rested your head on your desk and closed your eyes; he continued to talk.
Remember, remember, the 5th of March.
I have to add this as a final note, Self... You need to stop being an idiot about boys. You always manage to jump from having no feelings whatsoever about a boy to suddenly wanting to Settle Down (Kimbra style. We'll name our firstborn Nebraska Jones) with them. This is stupid and a product of too much television and rom coms. Next time, try to remember all the times you put a boy you barely knew up on a pedestal only to find out they're just a normal, average (or < average) guy.
Also, good luck for your first Writers' meeting tomorrow!
J
