Incredibly random ruminations...

~ I know Steph has already been exhorting everyone to do this...but ya'll really SHOULD read Inga Muscio's book "Autobiography of a Blue-Eyed Devil." (And, yes, that means you, too, Bren. It isn't fiction; you should be able to make it through. :-P) It will make you angry in ways you had forgotten you were capable...and hopefully move you action

cool!

yeah, I'm going to try to get my hands on it for some summer reading. Although, I think I have been accumulating a fiction deficit (of all things!) so maybe i'll have to read a fiction book....or 2 (gasp) this summer. The world has obviously gone mad.

Dear god! You?!?! Reading fiction?!?! What has the world come to?!? (mmm...to what has the world come?) Anywho...be sure to ask reliable people (aka me and Stepha) for recommendations. 'Course then you will be bombarded with recs and will NEVER BE ABLE TO STOP READING FICTION AGAIN...muahahahaha. :-P

Right. Erin returns to normality now. :-P Hope you're having fun in Blacksburg! There was a woman at the D.C. conference who's at VA Tech. She seemed cool...hopefully just as cool as all your fellow students.

well, lets just say that there's little likelyhood that I will "never be able to stop reading fiction again"...unless your talking about on a once a year frequency. That being said, I hope to read a few fiction books over the next couple of years...when I'm not agitating popular insurgencies, that is.

I haven't actually seen much of blacksburg these days, as I have been ensconsed in my room for most of the past 3 weeks. Such is life. Weather has gotten really nice, however, and I have had a growing desire to play volleyball. Hopefully I will be able to indulge myself in a couple weeks.

There are deffinitely cool people here, but on the whole the school is split between engineers (EEwwwww!) and Fratboys/Sororitygirls....not exactly a thrilling combination, I try to avoid at all costs.
