oh, i don't know

Trudi got the bus tickets and tickets for the play, so it's set. I'm going to New York (for the first time ever, can you believe it?) on April 13th!

I stood up that guy and I don't feel too bad about it. ::shrug::

Spent $90 in amazon.com, which I really shouldn't have but damnit I felt entitled to treat myself since I've been working and doing favors for people nonstop for two weeks!

I've been to the local library a couple times recently. Checked out a 476 page collection of Immanuel Kant's writing, a collection of Descartes, and A Short History of Mythology by Karen Armstrong; the authoress of A History of God. The more I read about this woman, and the more of her writing I read, the more I like her. I'd go so far as to say Karen Armstrong one of my heroines. I'm also really interested in Kant right now, though it's too early to say whether I like him or not. "There shall not be war" is a categorical imperative I approve of, though.

On top of that, and magazines, I'm reading Hyperspace by Micho Kaku. My friend Ashley lent it to me, and it's quite a read. Ashley's an art history major at Suffolk, and she's also big into physics. She explains/eludicates physics concepts to me, because oh my word I cannot learn or apply the formulas for the life of me, and I help her out the same way with philosophy and mythology. We have good discussions cause we're both big ole' geeks. She understands how heavy stuff like hypercubes, paradoxes, and profound stories literally hurt to read sometimes in all their amazing glory. And she got me into Iron Maiden, almost against my will.

Since I can't deface write in books which don't belong to me, I take extensive notes, and get weird looks when people find out that I'm not doing homework.

Spent the day with Jeremy yesterday, most of it in Borders. As difficult as it was, I restrained myself from buying anything. You know how women are stereotypically obsessed with buying shoes? That's me with books, fashioning my mind rather than my feet.

I'm really tired, and need some time to myself. Hopefully nothing will come up tomorrow, which I'm supposed to have off. Just like I was supposed to have today off, and last tuesday off, and this past Saturday... Gotta learn how to say no to people.
