Sometimes I wonder if, at heart, I'm antisocial. It's odd, because I like people and I like to make them happy if I can and I tend to fret if I can't, but there are times when all I want to do is curl up with a good book or something to paint and just focus on something that's not how I interact with others. People are too complicated, I guess?  ( Read more... )

Had a bit of a "Classical Music Workshop" yesterday, aka my dad asked my half-sisters over and we all listened to classical music and chatted about it. Well, mostly they chatted about it. I was trying not to do anything that would potentially anger my uterus, such as: eat, not eat, be too warm, be too cold, sit up straight, lean back, etc. So you ( Read more... )

So.... what did I do today.... well at about 2 I made lunch for myself, mac and cheese out of an all natural, whole grain box, added some corn and peas and BAM, amazing lunch, I ate too much of it come to think of it (this shows why I will never make a gourmet chef, I am way too easily pleased).

Started on Making Money today as well, second reading ( Read more... )

I drove (on my own!) to the library today. What I really wanted were some James Herriot books, the craving having been set off by working in a veterinary hospital for the past week and living and breathing dogs and cats. Of course, the library didn't have any of his big compilations so I had to settle for his Dog and Cat collections (nice, but I'd ( Read more... )

I finished Maurice last night and it was pretty glorious. I still don't know why I liked it so much, but I just REALLY GOT it. E. M. Forster's own little ending note was also pretty amazing, talking about how he's only shown it to a few people and all, and how he originally had a totally different ending but it was "universally disliked." What a ( Read more... )

Blah. Editing my final English Lit essay ( Read more... )

Really not feeling confident or being able to do anything today. I wanna say it's PMS, but...blah. My dad took me out to the YMCA parking lot to practice my parking which pretty much made me lose all confidence in being able to drive a car. so... yes. And I still can't park with any kind of consistency.

As for writing essays, just don't get me ( Read more... )

didn't celebrate easter today because I never really have. not that big of a holiday 'round our family place (although I did eat these lovely chocolate bunnies my mom's friend gave to me. fucking amazing.)

to make a long story slightly shorter, didn't have an epiphany moment at St. John's, I had several cynical moments and am now seriously scared/ ( Read more... )

So, I don't know if everybody's heard, but apparently there's going to be a livejournal strike for twenty-four hours on Friday to show those new administrators/whatever who's boss! Luckily I'm not going to be around to forget about it, so... I guess I'm participating involuntarily?

I'm not sarcastic about it, It's just that I finished reading Night ( Read more... )

Guess what book I just requested to be sent to my library?
I'll give you a hint. Its one and only review is "The master of those  who know" --Dante.

That's right, it's The Basic Works of Aristotle as edited by  Richard McKeon wherein it has Aristotle's complete Physics!
my nerdiness is only slightly justified by the fact that I'm reading this in ( Read more... )
