Finals are over. I will now be hibernating in CT for the weekend. My plan is to prepare a dog bowl full of water, ala Anne Lamott. Well... juniper water to be precise -- also known as gin. That should do the trick.

Actually, my friend is being deployed to Iraq on Sunday, so I'm going home just to see him. I'm sure gin will...

I have a date tomorrow with another cute girl. This is the (very) good news. The bad news? Well, I don't know if there is any. She's nineteen and I'm soon to be twenty-three. I'll admit that that's quite odd for me -- as my tastes usually have me chasing older women -- but harmless, I think. I just have to remember not to ask...

I'm taking a break from my exams for a little bit. Mostly it's because I nearly put my fist through the wall yesterday when my After Effects file got corrupted for the third time. Net loss? Twelve hours of work. If not for World of Warcraft I think my desktop would have met the pavement four stories down.

And speaking of WoW, I'm now on...

With finals week beginning tomorrow morning, my time on the site will be scarce for a few days. I leave you with a journal entry that will keep for that long: some of the words from (Canto III of) my favorite epic poem. Enjoy.

"The Knave of Diamonds tries his wily Arts,
And wins (oh shameful Chance!) the Queen of Hearts.
At this, the Blood...

my plan has worked, yet again. finals? one does not need to be productive in life when they can feel accomplished in a game!
i wish to play with you in said game. are you on deathwing?

i feel exactly the same way about winter. the cold, it does not please me. only when the snow falls does my outlook change. this morning i awoke to whiteness out my window. happy times.

My take-home final for Senior Seminar was assigned today. The task? Write myself a letter of recommendation. That's the culmination of fives years of Communication Studies and nearly a quarter-million dollars. I wasn't expecting much, but... *sigh*

It's okay, though; I made sure to have some fun with it. I think I spent an entire paragraph talking about ninjas. I'm pretty sure my professor will...

Yeah, she has just earned herself the "Sorry, I'm busy," every time she calls until she gets the point. The most astounding thing is she and I have been friends for six years, and she didn't think there was anything at all wrong about what she did.

I think I'm going to start wearing the definition of sincerity pinned to my shirt, written in capital letters. Honestly, have we become so jaded that any statement of thanks or praise is seen as stupid, creepy, or false? I certainly hope not.

velocity:
I've noticed that as well, even in myself. It took me a while to adjust to my boyfriend's sincerity when we first started talking. I'd just figured he was saying nice things because he had an agenda.

POEE returns from his home state of TN today. That means I'll be drinking -- and so I should finish my work before his flight lands at Logan sometime in the next three hours.

A more lengthy and candid entry I promise you soon, reader. For now though, my mind is moving more than a hundred miles an hour and is commited solely to getting...

I'm in Connecticut until Sunday. And as I don't think my very Catholic mother would much appreciate me using her computer to access SG, I offer my few journal readers my sincerest holiday wishes now. See you all next week.
posh:
thanks! i hope you had a wonderful holiday.

One day to rest, meeting my sister's friendly Pit Bull, driving for the first time in four months, and stuffing I would fight my departed grandmother for. I'm fairly certain that I'll be whacked with a wooden cooking spoon before the weekend's out, too.

God, I love Thanksgiving.
