So I just wanted to remind/reassure any loyal readers I may have that I am here, yes; finals are in a few weeks, and after that, I'll be back to regular posting -- I promisepromise!

Yeah... I think I can pull off the next few weeks... especially if they include Microcentrifugation (and pipetting stuff into microcentrifuge tubes so as to ( Read more... )

You see, we believe - well, let me put it like this:

There are Jews in the world, there are Buddhists,
There are Hindus and Mormons, and then
There are those that follow Mohammed, but
I’ve never been one of them;

I’m a Roman Catholic
And have been since before I was born,
And the one thing they say about Catholics is
They’ll take you as soon as you’re warm ( Read more... )

So I'm just checking in to let my lovely friendies know that I'm still alive, and that I'm currently in a Dèpêche Mode phase...

I think it's interesting that in high school, I discovered the seventies, and in college, I'm (re)discovering the eighties... (rediscovering, because my father had introduced me to the era of beautiful human voices and ( Read more... )

So this is the point in the semester wherein SpangleT says, look, I do actually need to get good grades.

So I won't be posting here for a while, as a means of regulating my own time allocations to anything that's not schoolwork.

So if you really want to talk to me, shoot me an email or call me or something!

So a few nights ago, my Someone helped me surmise that something detrimental I had been doing for the past year and a half was in imitation of another, someone I missed deeply, in hopes that I would still feel that person was around... Note to self: Identity theft of the dead is ineffective and dangerous, especially if it's something that hurts you ( Read more... )

So I know I'm really going to start getting somewhere soon because I have finally discovered by fatal flaw: I am just too flexible and adaptive.

See, when the world tells you what to do, having the ability to follow its orders and adjust easily is the most useful tool, the most sought trait, the most important in determining one's lifelong success. ( Read more... )

So I've decided that the best way to describe my life is with a mathematical principle; every day is a sine curve. I wake up and hope there's a reason for it, wishing I could remain in my lovely dream all day. Then, as the day gets going and I become busy and see people, I am able to really enjoy life, and I get caught up in the "wow, this is so ( Read more... )

So I just talked to them. The conversation lasted fewer than fourteen minutes. The topics discussed were not highly emotionally charged, nor did we discuss them with emotionally charged words or tones. But almost invariably, I end up in tears during or after speaking with them, and this time was no different. Why do I still have to need their money ( Read more... )

So today started with the sugary sweetness of waffles covered in caramel and honey and a chemistry quiz that made me feel like a real potential chemist; then progressed to the caramel-chocolate swirl butterscotch chip brownies I made last night and a lecture by a physics/math/electrical engineering professor whose research includes organic ( Read more... )

So just for kicks, I went back to my archives to see what I had written on Valentine's Day last year.

I hadn't written anything.

Instead, I had posted, at 11:59pm on the 13th. (Please feel free to visit that post yourselves.)

I feel something else to be a bit more appropriate this year, however, and invite you to join with me: a quest through my ( Read more... )
