I fluctuate between saying "I want to settle down and get married" to "Gah I need my space leave me alone World". Right now it's been a long day so I might be opting towards the latter, but I know that all told, I'm really easing into being okay with the marriage thing. I mean, it IS a pretty cool idea, being that committed to...

Having been married (*gasp* - actual personal history details exposed! I feel kinda dirty) I in retrospect think quite a lotof things about it were conceptually great, but it had nothing to do with the formality or even teh standard conceptual trappings. Deeply sharing someone's company in profound and connected ways can be fucking awesome - and it can be damn frustrating and challenging... but to me, exploring that balance and seeing the world through those shared eyes is what relationships are all about. The actual details and structure is in the end joust another facet of it to explore.

Congrats are in order then. I know I am ready to expore intimacy with someone that can head into serious/scary directions, but I am def. not ready to really be considering places that have Looong term in them.

I def. can appreciate that feeling of accomplishment when you can even start to consider an idea abstractly as something that someday could be a good thing. For me its the kidlet issue. I used to be overwhelmingly adamadntly no-kid... now I can actually think about the concept fondly and think 'yah I could see that someday' ...

wow definitely a weird kinda day. i mean, you wake up, you realize you want to stay in bed, and instead you NARROWLY avoid freaking out via road rage and are all cranky. so, having the emotional range of an infant when it comes to food (cranky OR euphoric) you go for a BK breakfast that is horrible but wonderful (best kind) and nurse some...

FINALLY decided that after a week of 15 hr days it was about time for me to blow off some steam in my beloved NYC for pizza, Guinness, coffee and rampant partying like a rock star.

Love and puppies to all.

this is really wild. it's great to see SG explode, but at the same time i feel like the more effort it takes to keep riding the wave and keeping up with journals, etc, the less time i have to put into upkeep. ack.

Thanks... but all to often I am a walking case of too little too late... But to give myself a little credit, I haven't really yet met too many people who weren't - most likely tho' I would have to be run over by one before recognizing them as such...

*smile*
girlcatx:
i hear that... i'm completely distracted as of late. it's hard enough to dress myself, much less read small print and answer stuff... although i like it, i just get distracted midsentence, end up wandering the house thinking i have something else to do.

okay can we just talk about my oral fixation for a minute? i mean my god! i can't get through the day without a toothpic or lollipop in my mouth, actively being destroyed. and i realized as i'm gnawing on wood shards (what's left of my LAST toothpic) that i must have an oral thingie. i swear i could do pushups with my tongue at...

I just attended a seminar given my one of our faculty, who served on the 9/11 investigation panel. He described in detail how the Towers were built, as well as how and why they collapsed.

Seeing the pictures, the people, and hearing about what the conditions were like inside the buildings... I'm so angry right now. I'm told you can't let the terrorists win by...

wisp:
Sorry you're angry . This is all a tough issue for sure. I don't want to precipitate
the another post thingy, but I can't help but think that the complexities of the
politics and history of the region should make us step back an think hard about
what in the larger sense needs to be done.

Btw. I thought I read in ?Science? that if the insulation in the towers would have been thicker that they wouldn't have collapsed at all. Did ihe talk about that any ?

[Edited on Feb 07, 2003]
wisp:
Hmm... I really think I remeber the article saying some new paper was published
that said that the towers wouldn't have collapsed this time if the insulating
was thicker. I believed that apart from all the heat from the fuel, the towers
readily withstood the impact. Anyway don't mean to nitpick over this.

*sigh*

okay its been a while since i've done the posty thingie.

let's just say that i've learned NOT to trust a goddamn person when it comes to my project. everyone who's 'helped' (we're talking profesional engineers) have been wrong. so i'm doing it my way and everyone else can kiss my ass. skull

also, never say out loud "hey look at me i'm making progress" even...

Okay.

I'm sitting here. In the lab. I have to make a decision by tomorrow: do I say on for a PhD in a field that will make me well-rounded but not that interesting by iteself? or do I leave with my MS and take my chances doing something that really just strikes a chord with me?

Or I could just leave it alltogether and...

Well here I am in the lab. Yet another morning of fun. It's amazing how the more parts/components to a system, the chances for somethign to go wrong increases exponentially. The crazy thing is I really love this stuff, and don't seem to mind doing the 7 days a week thing. There are too many questions being asked/answered right now in this field and others...

Congrats on the script writing ! Any hints on what it is about ?
