The choir sang a song this morning in church that bordered on "gospel" music. It's been stuck in my head all morning. It was a little... cloying. I mean, it was fun to sing and all, but I felt a little ridiculous at the same time. But I did notice that I was more confident in my singing today, after having spent yesterday afternoon at the piano. So ( Read more... )

After I finished that last post, I decided to start working on religion again, since I've got nothing of value to do, really. I looked up some statistics on Christians in general, Catholics, Orthodox Christians, Protestants, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus. Then I also looked at stats for agnostics and atheists (kind of hard to find, by the way). ( Read more... )

Let's do something a little happier, yeah?

It is almost Thanksgiving, after all. And Thanksgiving means relaxing, fun, and, most importantly, Christmas. :) And I love Christmas ( Read more... )

So, it turns out (unsurprisingly), that life right now is kind of lame. I don't see my boyfriend (super lame), I live at home (kinda lame), I only work between 2 and 7 hours a week (really lame), I'm not making much money (super lame) I don't go out (really really lame), I'm not progressing educationally (pretty lame), and I don't hang out with ( Read more... )

I want my computer to get a good night's sleep tonight, so I'm going to write a mini-post while I finish downloading a few things ( Read more... )

I'm going to take another run at that find-some-hobbies-that-can-make-me-friends thing. I did nothing all weekend, and I didn't feel like I had missed anything. Because there is very little of value in my daily life. So, I need a hobby. And friends. And a social life. Friends and social life, mostly ( Read more... )

It's Sunday night again. I was house-sitting all weekend at a house with three largeish/medium dogs. I spent the majority of the time watching BBC videos on Netflix and playing with the dogs. I really love those BBC classics. =] I watched two Jane Eyre's; the first was a 1996 movie with Charlotte Gainsbourg (who I really like) and William Hurt (who ( Read more... )

It's really incredible how long it takes to create an exam, even one that is based on homework assignments. Tests are complicated- figuring out how long each section will take to complete, balancing the number of questions about each part of the chapter, configuring the point system to be fair and balanced, creating specific and clear instructions ( Read more... )

But now one of them does.

My ear has been popping all weekend. It's bizarre. Maybe it's because of the cold I had for forever. That's probably it, actually. Hopefully it will stop, because it's really annoying ( Read more... )

So Rosalie reintroduced me to goodreads.com yesterday (Rosalie- I realized after we talked that I had actually used the site before, but it's been quite a long time. So thanks ^^), and I've been adding books and finding quotes off and on all day long. And it made me realize that I really do love a good book, and that I really should try to read one ( Read more... )
