To start my birthday off right, I’ve received three presents already!!!! I had a sleek black 13 inch macbook to assist me through my educational endeavors from my birth father, Mark and family. I consider this my Christmas/Birthday/School gift for the next few years. I was mildly afraid of it for the first few hours…after…
These are the things I have discussed today. Keep in mind my only live audience was the E. “Hey, have you even considered that Chinese history goes back like 50,000 years?” No. I haven’t. “Doesn’t that make the whole idea of “god” even more preposterous? Like they just dropped Jesus into the mix 2,000 years…
Today was my first day doing my prose and newly deemed “short fiction” seminar, a kind of introduction to the style if you will. The lack of rules makes me happy since we can all see that I am not so into all of those. I prefer to do my own thing, and although I…
I had one of those weekends that you never forget. I have been running through it over and over again in my head–starting from Friday night where one of my best friends got married. A beautiful ceremony with a beautiful bride and groom. It is such an amazing thing to see people so happy together,…
An amoeba found in lakes that can eat your brain by attaching itself to your olfactory nerve. I am not kidding, this is a real thing. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21034344/from/ET/ The brown gun, a weapon so intense that it can leave its victims writhing in pain from its ultra-sonic reverberations, resulting in complete bowel control. Effectively “poohing all…
I am doing an essay on Monster Culture…which was decidedly the most difficult of the three I had to choose from, not only from the class perspective but admittedly the opinion of the professor as well. That’s ok–it was the only article in the series of articles that had any resonance with me whatsoever. I…
I try to be clever with my titles. Most of them end up being strange puns of one sort or another. This weekend was good fun…I was able to let loose a bit since school is still in the manageable category in my life. It is now Autumn, my favorite season of the year for…
I was going to re-post my 9/11 thing, as I have done every year for the past 6…but I decided not to this time. I have to tag it into my memories, but my predictability is annoying, even to me. School is fun! I would love to be in school for life, learning everything I…
So today was orientation. And I am feeling a little less excited about going, or at least for the past few hours I have felt like this. I feel like an imposter, like I am hiding some crazy secret and I am really not supposed to be going to a school like this. Over the…
I cannot wait for the next few months to come barreling in…Fall has a special place in the dark and sometimes embarrassing corners of my memory. I was not ever a “cool” girl at school..and no matter how good I was at hiding it, it was always so readily apparent. Luckily I had the style…
