I'm officially an English major with an emphasis on creative writing now (finally), and my classes reflect this. I'm finding it amusing that I know all the queer theory and feminism terms as applied to literature. No one else in my classes seem to know them -- not even the two gay guys, or the girl who I think is a hardcore feminist (as opposed to ( Read more... )

I'm reading Aeschylus' Agamemnon for class right now. I read it before, a few years ago, but the prof has us taking these detailed notes and here's the thing: asking me to take detailed notes is like asking a snail to concentrate on moving slowly. I'm 3/4s of the way through, and moving on to my tenth page of notes. And I still have to read and ( Read more... )

As of one hour and four minutes ago, I am twenty-six. *sighs* I liked twenty-five. It still felt safe. Twenty-six feels like I need to be all grown-up. I doubt I'll feel comfortable again until I'm in my fifties.

(I'm not going to post about Voyage of the Dawn Treader except to say that the film I just watched was not actually Voyage of the Dawn Treader. It was an original fic with some VotD plot pasted on yay! Or... you know, Thomas Jefferson had a few problems with the Bible, so he took scissors to it, cut out bits, rearranged the order of others, and ( Read more... )

I can't concentrate on anything for more than three seconds. I forgot what I was typing in the middle of that sentence. *cries* I hate being sick.

I want regency AUs! Any fandom! Can anyone help me with that?

ETA: The fuck was I planning to do after posting this?

If you would like a Christmas (or other holiday) card from me, please reply with your address in the comments. It's still screened from the last time I did this, no worries!

I just finished Blameless -- if you don't know what I'm talking about and even vaguely like vampire novels or steampunk, find Souless by Gail Carriger. It's pure cracky fun ( Read more... )

You don't brush it. Not ever. No combing*, no brushing, nada. Not unless your character wants to look like Bozo the Clown, and doesn't care about damaging his/her hair ( Read more... )

I do my best not to focus on my hip because, well, if I sat down and thought about it for any length of time I'd go nuts. I haven't been out of pain in almost 4 years now. But I'm doing well. I can walk. I've only used my cane about four times this year. I have a lot to be grateful for. I whine way too much about other things ( Read more... )

Haven't watched the new SPN yet. *crosses fingers that it'll be good*

I'm super thinky tonight. Am listening to The Classic Crime via myspace. I'm completely stuck on the song Blindfolded on the acoustics EP. I'm especially fond of the last lyric.

I found out the proof itself ( Read more... )
