Wandering

Oh my! I haven't posted for seventeen days! That's almost three weeks! Looks like I started one on the nineteenth, but I don't remember what I was going to write about, so I guess it doesn't matter.

Wednesday I devoted the whole day to homework. Well, except for the part of the day that I went to see Nikki at school. I felt like I'd gotten so much done! I even got ahead in one of my classes, by writing the critiques that are due Tuesday. In class the next day, I started a list of all of the homework I have left to do this week. I ended up with nine things on the list. Including a midterm. Which is crazy, because it's--never mind, it's going to be the seventh week of the semester. This year is going by so quickly. Which stinks, because it's the last one.

I've decided I'm going to Europe this summer. My friend may go with me (I hope she does, if not I think I'll go with my school.). I just really think that if I don't go now, I never, ever will. And my teacher thinks so too. So I'd like to go to England, France, Ireland, maybe even Germany, Italy, Switzerland. I just want to go everywhere.

I got a lot done today, too. Stuff that I've been needing to do for a while. Not as much as I'd done Wednesday. But half of something Dad asked me to do, it may have been months ago. Yes, I'm a bad daughter. And a bad student. I keep looking back at that list. I think I'll get to that now. And leave you with an amazing song from an incredible movie. My sister's favorite. One question, though: What ever happened to poor Goob?

On the Subject of Love

I could have sworn there was a Fall Out Boy song with the words "on the subject of" in it, and I was planning on quoting it to you, alas, I could not find it. Oh well. I might have confused Fall Out Boy with another similar-sounding band. All I have to go on is the broken record of "on the subject of" going over and over and over in my head. Usually that helps, you know, usually it makes me think of the next few words, or from the tune I can pluck out the rest of the song, or even just recognize the voice playing in my head, but not this time. This time my memory is failing me. Although I'm pretty sure it was Fall Out Boy. Oh well. And, with that, I'll move on to the actual topic of this week's blog. Someone told me yesterday I needed to write a new blog entry (probably because I'm so addicting and they couldn't get enough, I'm sure =D), so I thought the whole way home from work about what I could write on. I thought about singers and wh...

God Hates No One

Did you ever write a paper, and the words came to you so naturally, that you were done proving your point in less than the words required? Not to sound boastful, but that happened a lot when I was in school. So, I'd say it again, using different words in a different order, like maybe they didn't get it the first time. I feel, after reading this article , that that was a bad idea. I guess I can't base my reaction entirely on the needless repetition, because I also didn't necessarily agree with the content. But when the author goes on and on, saying the same thing about three times in different and clever ways, he loses his credibility as a reliable source of information. It seems obvious that personal emotions at least partly fueled his writing. It's all right here, the problem with his argument: "It's been so long since someone was actually honest that none of us even knows what that looks like. And if you don't act that way -- a patently false way th...

To share, or not to share, where is the question?

I despise pet names. I hate them. If anyone ever calls me baby--well, let's just say, you can be sure they would never think to call me baby again. I don't know why, but this morning while driving to school, I thought about how much I detest pet names, and what I would say if anyone ever brought up pet names in my presence. And I figured it out: "Pet names are just words that try to portray affection but don't really mean anything." Poetic, right? So why does no one ever ask me the questions I've found the perfect answer to? They ask plenty of questions I have no idea how to answer ("How much is left in my Ozzie bucks?", "Est-ce que tu as cours cette été?"), but no one ever (or, rarely) asks the questions I want them to. Why is that? Why can't people read my mind and give me what I want without having to tell them what it is? (Yes, I know, we're not mind readers, but that would be so cool, wouldn...
