Apparently I feel like I need validation today. I know this because I thought 'I think I may be looking for validation today' and immediately burst into tears with no warning. But the problem is that I don't know who can give me that validation. I am not looking for just anyone's validation. I don't think it will help to have it from most people. I ( Read more... )

It's about time I made another appearance around these parts. As usual, I've kept up with my friends' posts, but have neglected sharing anything myself for quite some time. However, the announcement of the Festival schedule has finally prompted me (and most other people I follow) to take a moment to discuss my options here ( Read more... )

Some things that I've really learned or come to accept about myself this year/semester ( Read more... )

I can't believe the summer is over. I've done enough things to fill a summer already, so I can account for the time, but I can't account for my own unwillingness to touch my two big summer projects until now.

My final lineup looks like:

Three Nations

It is interesting when one comes across a situation where thinking about something is not the best way to find the answer. Rather, to consider an answer necessary could be the first wrong step that will only lead to unnecessary dichotomies, stress, or barriers. It is challenging when one knows this and yet the mind still harps on the matter, ( Read more... )

So my morning went like this ( Read more... )

To begin with, I am very intrigued by LARPing, and I find that the more I hear about it the more I am sure I want to get involved. Another semester, I suppose ( Read more... )

Sitting in on the floor of the Graduate School building wondering how to best grab hold of the remainder of my day. I need to buy books - actually, I'll do that next. immediately - , do research for my 5pm class, and write that 2 page paper that was due at ten this morning for the class I didn't go to (First one I've missed all semester :- p ). I'd ( Read more... )
