I feel like writing in here for the first time since Jan. 2nd. Why? Probably because I am supposed to be doing a paper and I like to find ANYTHING I can do besides my actual homework. And also because I just feel like it.
Everything has been really great lately, just busy. I always feel like I have a shitload of shit (for lack of a better phrase) to do. But... I think I like it that way. When I have too much free time I just start getting bored out of my skull or overanalyzing stuff. However, I do think I would like to take up some sort of meditation. I think it would be a great way to keep everything in perspective and be sure I don't get spiritually and mentally exhausted.
I went the Vagina Monologues on Friday and I saw my old Human Sexuality Professor, for whom I had done a bit of psychic reading. She asked me to come over for dinner and told me she would like another reading. I haven't been "practicing" in a while and I miss it. Anyone have questions? Let me know.
I was sort of depressed near the end of last week, and I'm not totally sure why. I think a lot of it had to do with watching "Elizabethtown", and seeing all the stuff about Orlando Bloom's relationship with his father. I really miss my Dad. I guess I'm scared he's going to die one day and I'll feel like I totally missed out on everything. I'm not really sure how to go about mending that relationship. Of course, I could have also been channelling Lori's pre-menstrual syndrome.
Today is Valentine's Day, so happy V-Day to those of you who enjoy it, and to those of you who don't, I hope you at least enjoyed the weather. I just got back from the Olive Garden with some folks, and it was a great time. I wasn't able to see Tom tonight because he had a bunch of applications to fill out that are due soon, but we are going to see each other tomorrow, and he loved the vase covered with Star Wars Valentines and filled with a dozen roses, as well as the no-bake cookies I made. (Thanks to Mom for the recipe). Not to mention the fact that I have a 5-page paper due tomorrow :-)
Speaking of Elizabethtown, the scene I was in made it into the film!!! However... I myself did not. I see the car that I drove up in, and the extras that walked out right after I did, so I think I just BARELY missed making it in. It was still really cool to see all of the stuff that I recognized from the shooting. Good times.
Miss Gay IU planning is really getting down to full swing. I have a big grant hearing tomorrow. Let's hope we get it. If we do, the down payment will be secure and I can relax like 80%. Please come through IUSA!!!
I think this is a fair enough update for now. Good day to all.
