2. greek
3. linguistics
4. depositing check
5. eating three meals a day

...so overall... a pretty good weekend. will upload the icons tomorrow, as right now would rather seethe at the rudeness of roommates who lock themselves with their boyfriends into the bedroom after midnight.

uhuh...

windows loaded without the background, for some reason. my computer really makes me nervous as hell sometimes. it's a giant black hole, aaa! --or a dark sagey green one anyway. what if i fall in?

i dreamed wax asked me to beta something for her (i suppose dale's internet was still ill) and i had suddenly forgotten how to spell, like, anything, so i had all my parents' dictionaries (which is about 8 different ones including some v. heavy) spread out around me.

also, it's cold in here.

hit me, take a deep breath, babe

i had one of my worst greek classes ever. looked at the clock for the first time more than once within a minute. my thoughts as scribbled in the margins of my notes:

the entire cim thing. this class is a torment. and not a sweet one. i haven't done any greek homework in more than four weeks. maybe this is bad. god, i'm so evilly arrogant--don't you loathe me? i can't even eradicate all traces of pride in it, and i'm sitting here writing this while she explains the latest homework i didn't do. and i recognize essentially none of the vocabulary. oh, the shame! must not pay attention. emergency. someone send pretty boys.

ho emou bios=my life; to tou emou biou phos= light of my life. [my first greek endearments, and i have a whole dictionary here--cackle. you're in trouble, bios emou.]

[excerpt of actual notes incl. for humor.] remove article augment (??) to form inf; in-->participle. erzda-->arxo-->arzdas (participle).

my eyelids are heavy. eta=31.8 minutes and ssome subconcious bit of my brain seems to be picking this activ up after all and randomly withholding the information. (active present participle vs???) i hate verbs! i want to speak without them. from now on. never more. verbs. bad. ick. abusive spanish teachers: BANG. venga venga! [er... that was from next door.] our saying true things does not always gladden men/ we do not always gladden men by saying true things--wtf? greek construction. unnecessary repetition? what??? class almost over! time bears everything hidden in the name of into the light. i like "in the name of" better. do homework? class is over, tap tap. homework. no. don't think so.

[note i gave up on leaving out the verbs. i am a wimp. yay.]

conversation and gip

they say confuscious does his crossword with a pen

seg7474: whoa
cimorene111: hahaha. or when reagan survived... or... didn't nixon survive one?
cimorene111: and come to think of it, we've tried to off obl a few times, and never succeeded. and saddam hussein.

but will i hold you again?

i made a collage of eyes for the cover of my literature class notebook.

i find this faintly disturbing.

the estee lauder girl has practically no pupils.

more evidence that lance is evil? evil! lance. he's so funny. hee. i <3 him.

lyrics

oh love of mine, would you condescend to help me?/ i am stupid and blind/desperation is the devil's work, it is the folly of a boy's empty mind/ now I'm feeling dangerous; riding on city buses for a hobby is sad/ lead me to a living end/ i promised that i'd entertain my crippled friend

deep in the dark

why does inspiration strike rabidly when you pick up your pencil to write your japanese exercises.

get thee behind me, satan.

setting up your razor-wire shrine

empire star. samuel r delany again. i am so fucking. dizzy. with the. rightness and paradox of it.

writers like this make literary criticism utterly superfluous and everything i read makes me fall more deeply in love. i'm so inspired i can't breathe. and i've got to do this japanese before i write. *grits teeth*

i just don't belong here
