I've been craving action, lately. That's not to say I've done much over the past few months. Jobs are still at a standstill and I'm still living at home. One of those has to change before the other can. It seems an infinite loop of non-doing. I find both intimidating and meaningless without the other ( Read more... )

I went to Ohio in February, and Kansas last weekend. Both trips were good, though very different.

In Ohio it snowed the first full day we (me and Dad) were there. No matter how hard one tries, getting snow blown into your ear will not be enjoyable. I did get some really nice gloves out of it, though. Ohio is very different from Conneticut, much ( Read more... )

About being in line at security around 7:20 in the morning, about what the campus and dorm rooms would look like. I was wrong, however, about everything else.

I'm now safely ensconced in my dorm room at Guilford college in North Carolina. My roommate (not Julie, as I phantom-remembered/hallucinated as I was coming in earlier) will not arrive until ( Read more... )

I feel a sense of ominous anxiety. However, that has nothing to do with the past week. This weekend, I went to Illinois to see my Dad's side of the family and attend my uncle's wedding. Unfortunately, going there had a price: personality reversion. I became a younger version of myself that was antisocial, immature, and unwilling to do anything ( Read more... )

Today was both busy and non-busy. I practiced, had a lesson (either I was really emotional today, or songs have a emotional element I cannot shake), and then three gatherings. The first was knit/crochet, the group's called knit 1, purl 2 ( Read more... )

It has been repeatedly brought home to me how odd my life is. I am a product of an extraordinary home (loving, monogamous, still together mother and father, 4 brothers and sisters), I have unusual intelligence (at least in Oklahoma I do), and, overall, I appreciate the weirdness of life, contributing to it on occasion (dancing to no music, anyone ( Read more... )

I love saying things in German, although not to German-speakers. (Ha! I just read 'speakers' and thought shpeakers, that is correct for German). Music History today was supposed to be a field trip, but the museum was closed. It is aparently the only one in Vienna that closes on Tuesday. That was good, though. We got a walk-through of how to analyze ( Read more... )
