Honey, I'm home!
Home after a fashion, at least. I am back in St. Louis, and at this juncture, it really only seems appropriate to come back to LiveJournal, as well. I am sure that late nights in Olin Library with their wireless connection would be less entertaining if I weren't making angry posts about the illnesses of the students around me ( Read more... ) -
Well, it's not an albino pidgeon...
Apparently nothing silly has happened to me this term, as I have hardly posted. Rest assured that, just because my eye is not oozing anything, my life is still full of silliness, such as this gem from last night ( Read more... ) -
Jibbily!! But also... whoooaaa...
I was just on weather.com to see what it's going to be like outside today (cloudy, but relatively warm), and was simultaneously HYPNOTIZED AND DISTURBED by this margin ad for SkinTensive skin cream that allegedly fights the signs of aging twenty-four hours a day. Forgetting for a moment that I am not convinced that any product actually does what ( Read more... ) -
Call for creativity
So, due to the fact that my new suede (faux-suede? who can say? more importantly, who would be cruel enough to destroy my aspirations to suede?) boots seem determined to bleed black everywhere, and the fact that I only had ankle socks in my drawer this morning, and the fact that my jeans ride up a little bit inside my boots, I now have a thin, ( Read more... ) -
Daydreamin'
I had a dream last night that, rather than writing my essay on the poetry of Andrew Marvell, I pretended to misunderstand the assignment and wrote an essay about the portrayal of masculinity in Marvel comic books. My tutor was so impressed she didn't even get angry. It was wonderful ( Read more... ) -
Keble Hall Theatre Presents: The English Civil War!
I finally had my first non-Medieval (am so unsure of what to call this - it's no longer my Renaissance Lit. class... is it Early Modern? Civil War? Restoration? A terrifying compilation of all three?) tutorial of the term, which was a relief, as I was actually a little worried about it. It is with my only intimidating tutor (the others are ( Read more... ) -

Wild Wild West
This morning, my parents suggested that we go cross-country skiing, and since this is a physical activity that I actually enjoy, and since it involved family bonding, as well as the opportunity to hear my dad say "We're the skiing family!", I decided to give it a shot ( Read more... ) -
Simon would have wet himself.
This morning I dragged myself out of bed at the ridiculous hour of 10 AM, grunted a hello to my parents, went to the fridge to get some milk, and was confronted with: ( this. ) -
Hello, my name is Caitlin and I am a Danger To Myself And Others
In light of lollardy's recent post to the effect that she is useless, I would just like to say: Verity, don't feel bad. I wish my biggest problem was a dough-encrusted paper towel dispenser. My late-night (okay - mid-evening. I have gotten old and crotchety since vac began) trip to the grocery store to buy my mother some condencend milk for her pumpkin ( Read more... )
