"You are what you do
in order to
prevent becoming what you're busy not doing
and if you do do it truly & you arrive at it duly
then in the end you are absolved
and the problem
of heaven
is solved...."
--Ani--
Watching (half) the movie Constantine got this song in my head (i could never take any religion that considers suicide a mortal sin seriously). Yesterday we also saw Narnia** (it was a triple gay date, except my dressing up as a man got vetoed) and went to a "formal" party. i thus have very unusual (read: fancy high-heeled) shoes and crimpy/wild hair for a day in the Geology library (due to poor planning of the latter half of this).
Snowing/cold out, hypothetical airplane rides & ski trips (when everybody (Angie, Dave, Jon, whoever else they know that enjoys winter sports) will go skiing, i'll attempt to learn but get minorly injured on the second day & spend the rest of the trip sipping hot chocolate & collaging), random stories i'd almost forgotten ["baby got in a car accident!"], displaced by automobiles, laughing at exactly the wrong time, learning a faster way to purl.
When i went to Georgia Fred tried to steal my cereal (no, that is NOT what he's going to jail for). Jill shared muffins with him, and he gave us orange juice.
Oh, those were the days, were they not?
This has definitely been the semestre that never happened.
i think i just feel that way because i haven't done much (if anything). It's like everything that has happened lately was set up long ago; this is the penultimate episode of some really good series you weren't sure you'd like and then got hooked on. i feel that everybody's acting out the parts written for them before all the actors were even chosen. Between geology, uu-stuff, trips, friend's situations back home, conversations with my mother & about my cat, everything is almost exactly how i would picture it. Well, i guess that's a lie since i didn't anticipate the relationship-thing (which is honestly HUGE/wonderful/manyothercommentshere), but even that flows nicely into my concept of what being 22/in college in Madison (sch/)would be. On some levels at least.
Saying "everybody's acting out the parts written for them" is really (too) harsh; i'm sorry. this is specifally aimed at some people and definitely not at others; don't be offended because if you read this far the statistical chances of you being one of those people is small... and it's not really a bad thing, just complacent. And sometimes i think i shouldn't comment on these things... okay, i'm crashing this train of thought now before i super offend myself again.
i don't like the phrase "end up" as in "one ends up" in a certain situation/place/as a certain type of person. There is no such thing [as "ending up" somewhere].
i've also decided to define "maturity" as the ability to wait. i shall still never pronounce it in the southeastern wisconsin (like my mom) way, however.
Donna, whatever happened to our hermitage? Can we still do that?
Other Newsy Stuff:
U.S. sucking slightly less than usual
i love that Chavez is referred to as "bombastic:" Elections Down South
Yeah, no shit: U.S. stance on Torture
**remember that time i was in DeLong's play version of Narnia, and totally forgot to kill Adam? That was awesome! ¶ 08:46
