(Untitled)
He's black, rotund, and religious enough to pray before eating. He's not my type. He is cute, he is nice, we would probably make good friends, but he is not my type.
Why do you insist on trying to set me up with someone? Yes, some company of the snuggly or sexy variety would be nice, but I'm not hardcore searching. I am here for school. If some ( Read more... ) -
Children's books versus Books appropriate for children
I recently finished His Dark Materials Trilogy by Philip Pullman. There could possibly be spoilers in this, so if you haven't read the books (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, The Amber Spyglass) then please don't read on.

Okay, I was trying to make something but it didn't turn out all ( Read more... ) -
Apparently "over-achiever" simply means "does what is required, nothing more, nothing less."
I used to be a true over-achiever. I would go way beyond what was asked of me. However, my dad broke me of that habit ( Read more... ) -
I need something new
In order to ensure there is no confusion, I will first post a little part of a recent blog entry:
"[T]he only thing that has not betrayed me, that I can always go back to even if I neglect it for a while, is music. All the energy I have left will go to my music. No more parties, no more Motini's, no more trying to figure out when I'm going to ( Read more... ) -
The only way to keep going.
I haven't written in this for a while.
I don't know if it's worth it. Being here. Doing this.
The last truly happy time I had, that was not poisoned or stained by any bitterness or sadness, was sitting in the Ford theatre watching Wicked (and getting Jamba Juice afterward).
I can never have a moment like that again. Why? Because my older sister ( Read more... ) -
Apparently I like the words "so" and "bludgeon"
So, the other day (in my attempt to watch the olympics, which were not playing at the time) I was randomly channel surfing and came across a program on whales. "Whales are cool," I said to myself, thinking about all the cool computer music I could make with whale song (those aren't copyrighted, right?) and I wouldn't even have to do all that much ( Read more... ) -
Eco Friendly Me
So, yesterday evening, I did what I probably never would have done even a year ago: I rode my bike to the store. Not only did I do that, but then I got one of those reusable Marsh bags to put everything in. And, you guessed it, I went to Marsh, the local place.
While I mainly got the bike so that I wouldn't have to walk when the buses weren't ( Read more... ) -
Graduate Record Examinations
So, I need to figure out where I'm going to go to Grad School, asap. Mostly because I need to know if I'll have to take the GRE. I don't want to, and here's why:
The Graduate Record Examinations (GRE) consists of five separate categories that assess your reading comprehension, vocabulary, math skills, and writing ability. After careful ( Read more... ) -
What a great summer!
Okay, it's time for some serious ranting. Mostly because I can't read this stupid chapter from a book one of the profs I work for is writing for another minute or I'm going to go insane.
This summer has been like hell. The only bright moments I've had (which are usually overshadowed by some crappy thing anyway) have been my visits to Chicago and ( Read more... )
