SO MUCH. I'm full of regrets. Since I was ten or so, I've been extremely self-conscious. I almost always over-think things, and tend to miss opportunities as a result. Sometimes I really feel trapped in my own head.
So. College, sophomore year. "Authority and Legitimacy in the Age of Moore and Shakespeare." (Best class ever.) The instructors (it was joint-taught by an English professor and a History professor) ask us why we think Shakespeare's Richard III sort of threw in the towel at the end of the play? Why, after he dreams about all the people he's killed, does he ride into battle instead of skulking away and surviving? My thought was, it's a framing device. "Richard II" begins with an aborted trial by combat, which sets the whole War of the Roses in motion. It makes sense, in literary terms, for "Richard III" and the war to end with a sort of trial by combat, one that actual results in a death.
I thought it was pretty clever and nobody else said anything, but I kept my mouth shut. Why if I didn't say it right? What if I tripped over my own tongue, which I sometimes do. I'm such an idiot. *sigh*
Also, there was this boy I wish I'd kissed. I was at a party my first year of college, and we were dancing really close. (And it was the Immorality Ball, so we weren't wearing much.) He made like he wanted to kiss me, but I shook my head. He respected my expressed desire not to be kissed, so we just kept dancing. I should have kissed him.
I suck.

Can't decide if I like Yahoo Mail Beta. It's definitely faster, but I think it still has a few bugs to work out.

So, I've been seeing these two male Mallard ducks around campus. Just the two of them, waddling around together. I like ducks. They're cute. So I started to wonder if maybe same-sex ducks sometimes pair off. So I looked up information on the behavior of Mallards.
O_O
Mallards are horrible. That's what I get for anthropomorphizing, I guess.
_____
I don't have a lightweight coat for the spring. I mean, I do, but there's this stain around the collar. I have no idea where it came from. It's in the back, so I couldn't have spilled anything on it.
Anyway, I'm eying this raincoat: in red or blue. I wonder if that's too flashy.
