Destressing: easier said than done
I hate coming home from an 8.5 hour shift at work during the holidays. All the shoppers and their stress and rudeness really takes a toll on my nerves. Plus, my feet are pretty much aching. I wish our bath tub had a stopper as I'd be soaking in a nice warm bath for the rest of the night. Alas, I can't even seem to focus to work on my last paper ( Read more... ) -
When your soul embarks
I think Death Cab for Cutie's "I Will Follow You into the Dark" has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever written.
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
...
You and me have seen everything ( Read more... ) -
Frazzled

Extravagant Claims
So I'm reading this journal article on religion and politics for a paper that I have to write about the influence of religion in American politics. As most journal articles it's quite dry discussing the data and methods--I was starting to space out when I came across this passage that made me laugh:

Somethings never change.
I miss the songs that we used to sing.
Of all the music that brings back memories, none can so easily conjure images as readily to my mind as The Format's Internentions and Lullabies. I don't think I'll ever out grow it. -
Greetings from Dublin
So it's been ages since I updated this. Thought I would give an update. As you know, I've been living in Dublin for over a month or so now. It's very nice albeit very cold and windy and raining and occasionally snowy. Besides those factors, I'm getting on very nicely. I have a great roommates and have made some really good friends so that is good. ( Read more... ) -

Yay!
Finally got an apartment in Dublin! Yay! It's the one I wanted too!
Now I'm going to be late for work. Oh well, so worth it. -
New Year's Resolutions of a sort...
I'd like to begin by wishing everyone a happy 2008. May it bring you all the things you wish for and a few surprises as well.
Most everyone begins the new year by making resolutions of some sort or another. I've never been one of those people. To me, resolutions are rather silly--if you really want to do something, you aren't going to put it off ( Read more... ) -
Stress like woah.
So yeah, a week or two ago, I found out that I won't be getting university housing at DCU. That really sucks as now I have to find an apartment near the college. This has not been fun. Why is it that apartment complexes post contact information and say they'll get back to you, when they never do? Augh. I have only managed to get a hold of one place ( Read more... )
