hello dudes, dudettes and neither-of-the-aboves.
i am sitting in room A310 at school updating my sg journal on the school's interweb while two people flirt across the room. i am eating a chocolate chip zucchini muffin from a local coffee shop. it's vegan! and so greasy! i can feel muffin-pimples just waiting to form.
today i have a really long day ahead of me. i just had english during which i had a diction quiz, a dossier assignment and a research essay topic to choose. (i chose secular interpretations of the jesus story. so excited to do the research associated with it.) next i have epistemology, during which we will discuss the problem with other minds and justifying our belief in them. after that i have a meeting with the queer collective; we're running movie afternoons bi-weekly and it's time to plan the next one, as well as committee day during which we will try to promote queer awareness at school. this week we watched deepa mehta's fire. next... who knows? priscilla queen of the desert? maybe!
anyway, after that i have to go work on my painting homework, which is nowhere near finished... i hate not having a studio/painting space anymore. it makes it so much harder to work on painting. and then there's art history, which i haven't been to lately, because it's bloody late in the afternoon and also because last time i was in class i got in a heated debate about the value of abstract art and ended up crying. some jerk thought it would be okay to make personal attacks during an intelligent conversation, and i'm kinda sensitive.
breathe!
so school has got me wound a bit tight but i'm so excited about it still. guys, i'm gonna get a degree, and then a masters, and then a doctorate, and then i'm going to teach other people all the stuff i know while keeping up my writing, painting and research... oh yes... i hope that is what life holds for me.
it's funny because i was out of school for so long and working and i was unhappy but didn't think that this would be the solution. but i am truly happy. stimulated. excited. i am an academic at heart, for sure. i just love debating and writing long verbose well-researched papers.
my heart is full to bursting, too, with the excitement of new friends, old friends and a lady who is endlessly patient and loving.
yep.
that's my story.
i have to wear glasses for the next year. i got a viral infection in my eye and it's going to take a long time to heal. so... i'm gonna have to get used to them. they will have to become part of my style.
underpants!
this next picture i took when i first got these new glasses, after the car accident last summer:
show me a recent picture of you. please. thanks.

Is it just me, or in the past couple of years, has SG become less about who's coolest and most famous and more about finding the people we love most and blowing them kisses across the continent?
I like it SO much better this way!
