I attended the church clean up day this morning. We were going through the massive collections of the library, wondering why we had a complete stock of "Thoroughbred" books, "Mary-Kate and Ashley" books, and other such secular items. . . Ah well. We found lots of great old music! I will write down the words of a song I particularly liked here, ( Read more... )

I went to the college Moth teaches at today. She managed to get me into a chemistry lecture. I learned about balancing chemical equations, the mole and its practical application, and electron shells and subshells. Another few subjects my honorable teacher can not manage to bamboozle me about. I enjoyed it. Having a good teacher is enjoyable. ( Read more... )

A young soprano stands in an open field, hills in the distance. It's a fine warm sunny day. She picks wild flowers, singing as she does so ( Read more... )

Yes. I was a girl for Halloween. It was a somewhat traumatic experience. I ended up wearing red high heels (the cute kind, not the evil strappy or businesspersonish kind), a very short skirt, which was quite difficult, and thankfully a knee length duster that did much to decentify the skirt. I went to Anne K's! Anne W. and Elise and Alex and Selin ( Read more... )

I walked home right after school yesterday and fell asleep. For the first time in quite a while I dreamed, or remembered my dream. It was a long, relatively coherent as these things go, and vivid dream ( Read more... )

Yesterday in LA we had a test on the Scarlet Letter. I think I did badly. I wrote far too personally in the essay, which probably counted a lot. There were two questions to choose from, and the first one was pretty weird and I didn't agree with it at all. The second I really felt personally connected to, so I wrote about that. I had such personal ( Read more... )

Today was a good day in a quiet way. I loved the pouring rain last night. Moth and I went to the youth orchestra thingie and I was reunited with many of my northy friends. We have seven horns this year, one from each grade! There's Lisa the percussionist's sister, Austin Andy's brother, Megan who's twin is Jennifer, Ragini (we all know who Ragini ( Read more... )

I've been thinking a lot about my aversion to people flaunting their tallness at me, and I think it may have originated in something that happened in my youth, doctor, like you said it might ( Read more... )

Oi. I've caught what everyone else has and I'm rather sick. This worries me. This is the third time I've been sick in about four weeks! Am I becoming (gasp) sickly? I certainly hope not. If I am, I hope they stored up all my available sick days like they do at my dad's work, so I can take crazy amounts of time off. I know that's not how it works, ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning feeling very masculine. I wandered around the bathroom in jeans for a while before putting the shirt I wore yesterday on and going downstairs. I selected my blue muscle shirt which I knew I wouldn't be allowed to wear to church, but I was once mistaken for Tony's brother in it without any sort of restraining device, so I felt ( Read more... )
