cruelty to cuddlebuckets

i heard ella fitzgerald's 'don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing' come on and danced on whim over to the couch. i grabbed orpheus's front paws--he had been soundly asleep--and danced him about a bit, then picked him up and danced him around, holding out one paw and generally jiggling him around like a bowl of jell-o, while he slowly woke up, licking his lips, blinking blearily and trying to gather the energy to flick his tail. when i set him down and cuddled him still, he made no move to get away, and when i put him back down again he blinked at me and smiled and went back to watching his fur. meanwhile perry watched the whole process, torn between jealousy that i picked orphy up and relief that it wasn't him (at least not this time).

what exactly is comparative literature?

this qui/obi story mira was complaining about reminds me of fiction lyn*--STRONGLY. more literate in the mechanics, but deep down, just as unintelligent: random silliness and things that make no sense, over-explanation of the simplest things, slight missteps in phrasing, and over-complicated phrases the author trips over as she says one thing and then contradicts it immediately.

*one of the most famous wanks evah. a het nsync bnf who was selling cds of fanfic+photomanips for hundreds of dollars, in limited quantity, on ebay.

what i'm going to do about finishing college

so, i inquired of abo akademi (located in turku, finland, close to wax_jism) how to get the thingy. um. the. application materials. i thought their application deadline for the whole year was in january. now it appears from their website that it is actually april. well, in that case, i can still be early, which is always a really good thing.

i withdrew from amherst's study abroad and i have decided not to go back there. but i have still been using the e-mail address that they gave me. i really dislike them; that was mostly a very dark period in my life, although i'm still really sad at having given up contra dancing to come back here (there are NO local groups). so since i feel i need an e-mail address associated with my real name, that doesn't have 'her royal majesty the princess cimorene' or my gay smut website address in the signature... i signed up for operamail. their webmail is, like, saturated with ads. i feel bad, cause i adore opera THISMUCH and i should've paid for it a long time ago. if i had money.

in conclusion, maybe i CAN stand to study literature.

thank you.

happy halloween, everybody.
