Ok...I have a question. What would you all think if someone you know sent you an email containing the following poems. Nothing else; no explanations, greetings, anything.
Would you know what to make of it? Or would you be confused about how the person feels?
Philip Larkin - Love Again
Love again: wanking at ten past three
(Surely he's taken her home by now?),

I recently had to make a Top 10 Songs list; songs that are my favorites, that I feel are most important, etc.
You can check out my wonderful taste in music here: My Top 10 Songs
It was so difficult to choose just ten! There are so many more things I wanted to include.
Bonus points to the person who can tell me what, in...

My hands are so dry. They're cracking, pretty nastily. It looks like I've been cutting myself.
I have to stop washing my hands so much. Easier said.
My hand-bound book is nearly finished. I'm about to paste the edges in a few minutes, then I have to let it dry overnight. Tomorrow I'll paste the endpapers, more overnight drying, and it's done. Then in the...

I have way more books than that. They just aren't on that particular shelf. Books are most of what I have.
I re-read High Fidelity yesterday. I like that book, though it makes me sad. Or do I read the book because I'm sad? Why am I always able to relate to all these neurotic characters in books? It probably says something about me.
I hope that someday I write something as ironic as High Fidelity, though. I'll have to get on it right away....

That's exactly what I do! I try to sound academic, I use very little specifics, speak of the overall period in generalities, and use REALLY BIG WORDS, as well as sprinkling phrases such as, "Ultimately, this lead to..." "Overall, this caused..." "The lasting implications of this event were..."
and I regurgitate their notes, and CITE THEM. Always gets an A.

Why do things always have to be so difficult?
He's not right for her. He expects her to become a housewife, stay home, push out a bunch of kids. She'd go insane with that life. The worst is that she knows he's not right for her; this isn't the life she wants. But she things things will be ok. And she knows she's being ridiculous!...

I have nothing but misery to report, therefore I will write nothing.
Maybe things will be better tomorrow.

MathGirl called me today! This is a reversal of the usual order, in which I call her. This turn of events makes me feel good. I was at work, of course, and my phone was off, so she left a message...but the fact remains.
The drive to work this morning was dreadful. I live 15 miles away. It took me an hour and a half...

Heh, I am afraid that shocking and scandalous are hard things find with me.
aaardvark:
Ha ha, actually I do not.
Couldn't sleep last night. I went to bed at 11:30 pm, was up at 3 am. I decided I wasn't going to be able to get back to sleep, so why even try?
I spent an hour or so responding to MathGirl's letter. I wish I could post the letter I wrote here, so you all could see the types of things I write, but...

Lets go to grad school together and get married.

My Bluetooth barcode scanner arrived today. Now I can scan all my books and such into Delicious Monster Library! That is, if I could get the damned thing to work.
I have it all connected, but the software won't display the Bluetooth button that tells it to import the barcode information using the scanner.
I've checked the help pages, and none of that worked,...

Yep, Thanksgiving on Thursday. I'd give anything for some of my grandmother's dinner rolls and pumpkin pie. Never again, though.
Other than that not much going on. I haven't updated in a few days, but there's not a whole lot to tell.
I may apply to the University of Edinburgh.
:kiss
Pale brows, still hands and dim hair,
I had a beautiful friend
