Vee belief in nossing, Lebowski! NOSSING!!
I'm reading Hamlet (again) in my Shakespeare class. As a result, I've been receiving a lot of handouts on existentialism lately, (side note: one of the handouts had T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" on it, which is my favorite poem ever), because Hamlet is perhaps the most prominent existentialist literary character (Prufrock is possibly second). The more I read, the more I see similarities in existentialist thinking and my own. The constant questioning and over-analysis of every little thing is what makes me unhappy at times, I do believe. Perhaps that's what led me to doing things that allowed me to "let go" and "lose control" in high school. But I do think it is important to question things and to weigh my options, to a point. Note to self: find a happy medium between Prufrock misery/Hamlet intelligence and carpe diem hedonism.
Oh, and I've been reading up on nihilism lately. Not that I am a nihilist (though I do have nihilistic thoughts at times, aside from my almost certain belief in a supreme being), I just find it interesting.
Oh again, I'm going to a Disney theme party in campus apartments tomorrow night. It's a neat party premise (I'm so alliterate (no, not illiterate--please stop reading my journal if you didn't get that pun (I'm just kidding; you don't really have to stop reading (there are a lot of parentheses in this entry)))): there's a series of apartments, each with a different Disney movie theme. Attendants all dress as Disney characters and move from apartment to apartment, drinking something different in each apartment. Seven of us are going as the dwarves. I got voted "grumpy," and the costume idea I was given is to wear all black. I'm wearing a short black skirt, a black tank top, and Cathy's "fuck me" boots. Basically, I'm going to be trashed and trashy. Yay.
