pipistrellafelixIt's Tuesday on the second week of the quarter and I already feel overwhelmed and unhappy. Something is wrong here. Also cramps are making me physically unhappy, so when your body and your mind decide to have a bad day, you're mostly stuck. ARGH.
I did that month meme, only I stole from rain_luong the idea of taking the first sentence of every post, putting it into paragraphs for each month. And before you ask, I did this a while ago, before I got all overwhelmed. It's like the mother of all run-on free-writes, only it makes even less sense than usual.
it’s like a new year…where everyone is saying they're going to start something new, and turn over a new leaf... I like baths, honestly I do... math is weird... More quizzes....incidentally, if I haven't beaten you over the head and told you to go here, do it now: http://www.ozyandmillie.org. I love being involved in RPGs that I know nothing about. Went to BW meeting at the Burke...it was fun. I went and saw Andy Serkis tonight! (I once found a quiz measuring how much of an online quiz whore one was. That was a long time ago. My score would be much higher now...) Three day weekends…are really, really nice. ...and yet another. Stupid Barnes and Noble... You are blessed with Faery wings. There is something very happy about taking a math test when one actually knows how to do the math. I have to find a contemporary monologue and 20-30 lines of Shakespeare for my Willamette Theater audition...by March...eek! Erp. Socrates is a very interesting man. Check this out! I finished my paper! More procrastination time. Where else do you get conversations so bizarrely wonderful? Heather is sitting next to me writing an essay about Antigone. Meh. Have decided to do my thesis on the legality and constitutionality of same sex marriages. Go here: http://title.flywheel.org/

http://www.freshsensation/samorost.swf Just read a long post of Alex's in which he said what he would do if he had five days...what a wonderful thought. I am sitting here in the library at school and the SUN came out and shone all over the room...glory! Why am I thinking of auditioning for Tavern? I cannot possibly reply to every single letter-to-the-editor I see. Okay, so it isn't the best letter to the editor ever. I just came back from going to dinner at Atlas (U Village) with Emily and Annie and Jan. Saw Peter Pan (the new movie) up at the Crest with Anneka and the parentals...was Naka's overdue birthday present. I am afraid I offended the cat Moses…he came over to the house riding on my shoulders and back, and explored ('splored!) all round the house (except Mum's bedroom and the kitchen counters) for a while. The question remains: do I really want to go to a college that is located in the same zip code as my highschool? I'M FINISHED! Ahem, ahem. Why is it so hard to resist online quizzes? The sun is out and the loft is all warm and smells like summer and I am SO terribly unmotivated...
I was in Oregon. 10 days till my birthday. Could we consent to a lower standard of living if it meant that other people around the world could have a higher? It occurs to me--and not for the first time--how terribly weird the internet, and specifically livejournal, is. I've spent the last half an hour reading anti-gay marriage stuff online, for my thesis...cripes. First off, I would like to say that we at NWS have absolutely the coolest teachers anywhere.
Ahaha! Um...well. There's a lot in my head....I think I will try to organize it. Right. Damn it, Austin...or whoever. I would really like to be some of those one acts. The weather here is glorious! I had a long long talk with my parents yesterday. Well...I have decided.
Beltane...is way fun. You know what I really, really hate? Um. You know what I love about converses? Let's see. Ahh! You know what I just did? I did my thesis defense yesterday...talked overtime, although I knew I would. Yesterday…was beautiful.
I have a lot to say but I'm tired so I'll keep it short for my own sake. I wrote something last night, at nearly two am--I wanted to post here but couldn't get up the energy to start up the computer with internet on it.... Mmm...so many things. The week of boot-camp rehersals is over...it was exhausting. On Monday I spent five hours in indentured servitude to Seattle Aududon, making rain barrels. Got a blood draw today, and now I have a looney-tunes bandaid on my inner elbow.
We've done CWS twice now--once at my house, yesterday, and our opening at Hugo today--and it rocks. Hmmm....Happy, er, Independence Day, everyone... Yesterday I ate lunch with Rose at Araya's on the Ave (which is really good, I highly reccomend their buffet noodles and the spring rolls) and then went down to meet Rachel at City Hall. Oh, pooh...another useless day. Wahaha.....who knew losing money could be so fun? I'm tired. Hallo from England!
I just saw Much Ado About Nothing. Well, thanks to some of those questions and to Anneka's insights on love and Rosalind, I've been thinking. You know how sometimes when you fall in love, you go weak at the knees and your head goes fuzzy? So. Whoa...I just saw STOMP. It just started raining really hard, big fat drops. In Oxford. I am in internet cafe on High St. in Oxford. Hmm...If I work like nothing doing and am really smart, I could be a Rhodes scholar and study in Oxford for grad school. Ah well. Wandered about Oxford without a map, getting lost. I'm leaving Oxford today. ...I'm home. I just spent nearly an hour talking to my roommate, who called from California...I don't think we'll have any trouble getting on. She doesn't have problems alone.
The weather is awfully odd...it's sunny, a sort of thinly golden sunlight on the porch and the apple trees...but there's dark clouds behind the trees, and thunder in the sky. Today I woke up too late, even though lying in my bed half-asleep under my comforter with my face half buried in a pillow listening to classical music was rather enjoyable. Well, okay, I guess. I just finished reading Court Duel...a novel from my middleschool days, although it's actually quite good. Woke up horrendously late again. Finally I have uploaded some pictures from England...not all by half, obviously (or even a third, or an eighth), so if you want to see the rest you'll have to find me in real life, as they call it. Earl Grey. Ok. This, right here: http://www.livejournal.com/community/shoebox_project/ My dad's watching Star Trek... Dentist and doctor not so bad. I voted! Evergreen…is good. Whoa. Tom Stoppard is a genius. Gahh! More good theater, fantastic I-wanna-dance-now musicals. Well, I'm still not exactly packed...mostly, though. Sitting on the floor of my dorm room (because they were out of 14' ethernet cables, and 7 isn't long enough to reach my desk), drinking scalding hot Earl Grey tea. this is thrilling. happy again: found used cd store on broadway. just got back from a panel on spirituality in the chapel at st. ignatius (which is a gorgeous church)...it was interesting. honors orientation this morning. so danica and i went downtown today, to get bed risers and garbage bags and various other things; and as we're walking down fourth, two men are walking up, one with a unicycle. Things I wrote in my paper journal today. What will Campus Ministry think, I wonder? Whoa. My history class is going to be so freaking awesome. I just got back upstairs from watching CSI and then Dogma. It melts so perfectly after it's been sitting in my pocket for seven minutes. I wrote this today when I was 'studying' at Starbucks (because, you know, inspiration trumps homework) and thought, haha, I'll post this on my journal! Hmmm...today was interesting. Dr. Madsen: "Slow down, slow down! You're going too fast; it makes for bad geography and bad sex." Need it be said again I adore my history class? Epicurus makes no sense. Went to visit NWS today...Leah and I did pick the perfect day to visit, you know. As much as the exam is breathing down my neck, I must admit the words are fabulous. my first college test…and I didn’t die! I don't think I have laughed so hard in a LONG time....
It's interesting how when one's internet is down for the weekend one realizes how much one feels like one needs it--but really doesn't. I just played ultimate for two and a half hours straight. ....oh. Saw Anna in the Tropics at the Rep...whoa. Well. Read the Euthyphro. If you are currently in Seattle, or anywhere near it, Go See Proof. Huzzah, I have finished Vergil! I went into the Lemeuix Library today at lunch break...ostensibly to find rescources for my geography paper. Talked with the parents for an hour today about my paper. Crazy history, as usual, laughing our heads off most of the way through. Firstly--a bit from the Aeneid that made me happy (oh the poetry). Ovid's Metamorphoses went by faster than I thought. So I am officially a terrible bookworm now, not that I really expected anything else. Oh, HUZZAH! Just got off the phone with mum...somehow talking to the parents always makes me feel better. As I sat at home watching the rain (beautifulgloriouswonderfulwetrain), I realized I don't have a raincoat of any kind. my roomie is just learning the product rule in calc--never having taken a calculus class before--and wasn't quite getting it. I just walked into Xavier after history--a good class as it always is but not special beyond that, today--sort of tired, knowing I had masses of reading to do before ushering tonight. Danica and Andy were making enchildadas and set off the fire alarm. So here I am back at school. i feel the was-hungry-didn't-eat-now-stomach-is-fucked-up sickness coming on. Ah, sensory overload... Two things: Lunar Eclipse is ROCKIN' AWESOME. Hey. To follow Patrick--baaaaa, says the sheep--in no particular order. The Triumphant Honors Nerd has conquered the Test of Philosophy, and, of all things, it was actually Fun.
it's foggy outside and very drippy. ...well. I voted. i'm torn between eternal disburbing optimism and the bleak, lack-of-feeling knowledge that bush has probably already won. I woke up today to the sounds of NPR telling me that Kerry had conceded the race to President Bush; that he made a personal phone call to him earlier this morning and said that the President had the race (even though they haven't finished counting--there's no way Kerry could catch up); and also that the country was too divided, too polarized. From Shauna's journal, something that is very true. I'll admit Dexter is rather one-sided. I went home yesterday sick...I think it was just from lack of food and lack of sleep but I suppose it had caught up to me and when I tried to wake up and take a shower I felt like fainting. So last night I had a dream that I got pregant and had a baby. Today was remarkably fun. There is nothing quite like opening one's door to see the message: 'K- I want your hot ass. -John.' What am I doing, trying to write an entry while talking to three people at once? Melissa found this. I'm cold. I'm hungry. There is nothing like an awesome history class about the crazy-ass goings on of the Roman Empire to make one feel better. Jennie's was fun. I read all day (well, most of the day, anyhow) and so feel justified in taking time off to scan pictures, one of which needed to be done, the others, well...I got carried away. Well, I don't think we agree, anyway. i got shocked last night. Auditioned for Top Girls. I got called back!
I love random late-at-night conversations with my roommate about Europe and seeing the Pope and eating lunch with Louie Vitton (yes, she did), and science journals and how her idea of heaven is watching El Greco paint. Philosophy has got to be the only subject wherein I can sit down and think, take notes, write and talk for hours and be more confused at the end than I was at the beginning. Just got back from the SU Choirs Christmas concert...mmmmm I love choir music. Just bought my books for winter quarter....two hundred and forty nine dollars. Today is the anniversary of the assasination of Marcus Tullius Cicero, and as Madsen has given us the day off to mark it, I thought I should mention it at least. I finished studying for lit. I was really nervous this morning...it felt like an audition except more so, because at least at an audition I have something memorized. I didn't do much this weekend. Welcome to Wednesday. I am a genius! It's official. am in england! Have checked friend's list.
And now I am going to attempt to get things done. I ought'nt to go to the dinner tonight, even, but I am. *sigh* ARGH.
