Thank you so very, very much for all the comments left on my journal pages. You always have such a way of leaving both a compliment and little insights. Your writing is most marvelous! Yay for marvels! I'm seeing them more and more. This make stari girls glow. *glow*
I am struggling with choice and fear. Such struggles! Your words inspire hope in me.
some choices are easy, some choices are hard, and then there's the choices that sneak up on you and you don't know which is better ... to stay or to change.
i am not thinking about "grad school" per-se. no, instead i am thinking of just taking a class or two in something i am really interested in. i majored in french literature, and wrote my senior thesis on the plays of ionesco and how he tries to show through his plays that "la langue tout seul est insuffisant pour communication" or something equally french. j'oubliee a cette point.
i am thinking of taking classes in sociology or anthropology or something along those lines. perhaps biology or anatomy or something. something i might have taken in college if i hadn't been taking so many russian and french courses.
or perhaps i'll look at the local art college and take a printmaking course.
the tattoo would be on the upper arm, by the shoulder. it would be of the evenstar necklace from lord of the rings. the boyfriend gave me the necklace for my birthday a few years back.
I totally agree - the journal aspect of SG is my favorite part as well, it's great to come home and see comments from people, and they tend to be fairly positive, cool people (unlike sites like livejournal, that seem to attract bitter trolls.)
As for life choices... I'm a firm adherent to the philosophy that I'd rather regret some of the things that I've done than the things I haven't done. Choices can be tough but that's what makes life interesting and worth living.
It was really rough watching this year's address, but I forced myself to sit through it.
