Must stop wasting so much time on this site.

I was very sad this weekend because I was rejected from this study tour I applied to go on in the spring. It was a class about education reform in China and Japan, and in May, you'd get to go on a trip to Tokyo and Beijing. I had a rec from one of the best,...

I'm so good at updating lately!

I got a new rat yesterday. After Marianne died, Talula seemed so confused and lonely. She just slept in her food bowl all day. I found this really pretty baby rat who's this pinky light beige color, and they became instant friends. In keeping with a theme, I named her Snow Cherry.

In other news, school is dragging. I'm...

Quenten: Now with darker hair!

It feels good to be brunette again. People think they can fuck with you when you're blond.

I have some new pictures in my pics folder taken by jaxs1984. I think they're the most fun you can have with a battery and a typewriter. Well, almost.

Typing with one hand. Sitting here listening to Beatles with my pet rat Marianne wrapped in a washcloth held against me. We came back from our glorious weekend in Hammond and Chicago to find out that our roommate had not fed my rats while we were gone. Marianne was all shakey and bloated with squinty eyes when we got back. The emergency vet number said...

Four years ago I wrote a poem about the election and it spread all around my high school. It was funny, jolly, and carefree, and everyone seemed to like it a lot. I decided to write one again this year. It's not as funny, but I don't think this election is as funny as the one four years ago.

My rant in rhyme and rhythm:...

yeah I hear the willfully ignorant thing....

my bunny is 8 yrs old and is also pretty much good about pooing in the poo box... unless we forget to change it often enough and then she decides since the box is full she can start on the rest of the house... wink

I am a bird.

What a beautiful day here. The air is turning cool, but you still feel it when the sun is on you, just a little warm. I like it, and today walking outside and it seems all of a sudden it's fall. I haven't seen any leaves falling, but suddenly the ground is covered, though all the trees still have full heads...

hehe quentin makes me giggle...

fall is hapeening here right now and it is beautiful! New colors everyday. I am from the desert so this is a new thing for me...

I remember the last year of college being tedious..... I was very bad about doing a whole lot of nothing... for one class called leadership I smoked a lot of weed in order to do her stupid assignments.... yeah that year was totally the year that I phoned it in....


I have got to see this idea on email let me know if you put it out there cosidering I will be traveling abit here in the near future.... anne rice rocks... I would totally read that thesis
kidmorlock:
Yeah. I see what yr saying. And It's not like I'm not being me. It's just that I am clueless that I am being myself. It's almost as if I am not conscious of what a hotness I am. whatever
I kid on that last one, but I am being me, actually, my 'dorkness' is highly natural as opposed to cultivated. Guess I just need to be aware of it. I dunno, I just woke up. Thoughts hard...must reach utility belt... smile

So is this yr last year at B-town? Hindu studies major? I was IUPUI 93-99 (6 yrs, but not a doctor wink )

Well now. Another Friday has found itself with me right there in it. What a predicament.

The weather has finally cooled down some, which leaves me happy. Maybe the trees will start turning orange soon. Where I am, the autumns are gorgeous.

Starting to seriously wonder what I'll do when I/if I graduate. It's becoming painfully clear that no one is interested in this book...

Putting off writing a paper on themes in the Upanishads. Nothing like it.

Why is it that I only get productive when I have something else I'm supposed to be doing? I have already changed the bedding in my rat cage and vacuumed. Now I'm considering hanging up the posters that have been sitting in tubes for months. The walls in my room are barren,...

kidmorlock:

Exactly!! I can't write on my novel unless I have dirty dishes and other things I can "put off doing." It's as if I have to create a self-imposed deadline to get my creative work done so that I can get to what really needs doing. If that makes any sense.

nice meeting you, BTW, and coffee is good. coffee is your friend. smile
kidmorlock:
Short answer: It's about 300 pages. wink

Long answer: Halfway to Babytown is about Jameson Huxley, son of the great scientist Cyrus Huxley. He's a jack of all trades living in a world of specialized careers. He's good at virtually anything, but truly great at nothing. Until he meets Shelly, a manifestation of the Canadian Wilderness. She has an oak sapling growing out of her back. A mythical Dryad, basically.

They are both bullied into the service of the EPA to legally expose Babytown, this Hospital City-State that is wrecking the natural order of the ecosystem.

It's all about educational systems and the idea that just because someone is good at something, does that mean they will be happy doing it for the rest of their lives?

Right now it's a mess, (I've backed off on the heavy SciFi and am opting for more a mythic futurism) but I shine in the rewriting.

Ok, your turn. smile

Long week. Just growing longer and longer.

Tired of school. Want to go away. Someplace where it's always autumn after the first frost, so I can layer clothes the way I like to and my allergies aren't as bad. Where there's always an extra blanket and a fire and candles all around, and there's no TV because the briskness of fall is entertaining and invigorating...

i adore that.

My first online journal entry. The anonymity and the exposure is exhilerating. I could write anything, anyone could read it, no one could read it. My mother could see this. The boy I had a crush on in 8th grade could read it. But most likely, no one will read it. Or if they do, they will be people who don't know me at all,...
