This is Why You Don't Piss Dick Off
Holy shit, I just read that Dick Cheny "accidentally" shot a guy on a hunting trip. God bless America.
Anyway, I know I haven't posted in a long, LONG time but lord, the homework. So friday night Deanna and I went to Lewiston to see "The Man Who Came to Dinner" which is first, my favorite play of all time, and second includes an appearance by the man I'm pining away for. So we get in the car with the Yahoo directions to the theatre and we get into Lewiston and this damn map starts taking us into these backwater roads of Lewiston and it's telling us to turn on a street that doesn't exist on the etherial plane. So it's already past the showtime and I'm crying and we decide that we are going to find the damn theatre even if we miss the show. So after asking the conco guy where it is we get there 15 minutes late but the lady let us sneak in anyway. After that things were great. The play was lots of fun, and it ended up being a good night.
Last night we went to the Vagina monologues. I've never actually sat down and watched them, I've just been in them so it was really exciting for me, plus Deanna had never seen them at all. I'd heard that U of I did a great job with them and they were right. They were really wonderful. So we laughed, we cried, we went to Deannas and drank cosmos and watched ROTK.
As far as school it's pretty much been a lot of the same. Lots and lots and lots of reading, but nothing I can't handle. I've been trying to do research for these papers I have due in Modern American History but I've been having a bitch of a time finding sources. The first paper is about newspaper coverage of a major modern american event, and I chose the moon landing. Not that that's hard to find info on, it's just that U of I only has the NYT on microfilm, and I need at least another newspaper like the Chicago trib or the LA Times. I may have to go to the WSU library but I really don't want to. The other essay is on the origins of Vietnam anti-war sentiment. And I honestly have only found 3 articles that I can use. I try to search and all I get are articles about Iraq and John Kerry. *sigh* I'll just ask my professor for help with that one, I guess.
Working out's been pretty steady, too. I'm just really happy that I've managed to stay with it. I've opted for the ellptical machine instead of running because I started to get really bad pains in my legs and I didn't want to do any permanant damage. The machine keeps my heartrate up better anyway so I'm happy.
I recently had a revalation about my feelings towards men. I've realized that if I'm not attracted to a man, I'm really uncomfortable around them. The reason I think is that what will almost always happen is that I'll become friends with a man I'm not attracted to, but he'll get a crush on me and it'll make me totally uncomfortable. I start out being really nice to them like you would any friend but then they get that look in their eyes and I feel like I have to be mean to repulse them so they won't hit on me. I just can't win in the men department it would seem.
Well, I think that is quite enough for one day so I'll try and do a weekly post since I definitely don't have time for a daily. Have a good week everybody.
P.S. Mel I'm sorry you're so sick! You sound really miserable! If I can get you ice cream or tea or anything just let me know.
