What are five things you're good at?
Submitted by HapaLove.
1. napping. i can nap whenever for long periods of time as long as i'm in a bed/on a couch.
2. eating. i'm totally awesome at eating a huge meal and then being super hungry again in like an hour and a half.
3. talking. if encouraged i can go on for hours.
4. writing. i can totally bang out a paper at the last minute and still get an A on it.
5. sarcasm. i can make fun of pretty much everyone and everything. try me.
i wish these were more unique. but this is what i'm truly good at,
basic human functioning: eating, sleeping and mocking others. i'm in a
super cynical mood these days and i'm not really sure why. i need some
good news. not just 'hey it's going to be warm tomorrow' good news but
some kind of life altering good news. and engagement/marriage/new baby
stuff doesn't count. it just reminds me of how close i am supposed to
be to being ok with all that stuff happening to me and how not even
close i am to being able to deal with any of it.
in other news. i think i'm going to try to submit a poem to the steger poetry competition, but it has to be about/involve/speak to the future so we'll see if i can think of something worth writing about.
ok that's all.
if you have any good future ideas let me know.

i'm still learning to live with the obscene amount of uncertainty in my life.
took the GREs yesterday
i'll hear from Catholic in 4-8 weeks.
i'm having trouble sleeping, but i'm having a good time!
seriously.
Video: Show us a great music video.
I have three that I think everyone should experience for different reasons.
1. Kings of Convenience - "I'd Rather Dance With You"
Amazing video that always makes me get warm fuzzies.
2. Peter, Bjorn & John - "Young Folks"
Terrible video, yet awesome, infectious song. It's a tough one.
3. Ol' Dirty Bastard - "Got Your Money"
This video/song never fails to make me happy.
Even on the gloomiest, stressful, snowy, cold, days.
so i sucked it up and submitted my application to grad school yesterday. if i get accepted and then if i find the money i'll be going to catholic university of america and studying to get a Masters of Arts in Moral Theology and Ethics. so we'll see about all that.
i've been sleeping a lot lately and i can feel the little hints of depression creeping into the edges of my mind. part of it's seasonal i know, but i think it's worse this year for a plethora of reasons. i need to start working out and going to yoga, it's always helped in the past. isn't it funny how you put off working out because of all the effort that needs to be put in to get around to doing it, but when you finally do it you feel amazing. silly.
oh! i also started eating cheese again. like a lot. like i killed a wedge of brie in 2 days by myself, the same goes for a box of cheez-its but those don't really really count as actual cheese. i felt like crap the first couple of days (awesome stomach pains alternating with queasiness) but i think i'm back on a fairly even keel. i'm going to try and be reasonable and avoid super processed "cheese" and try to stick to snobby cheese haha. i've been thinking about how i eat for a while and i don't think that cutting everything out is such a healthy choice. also i saw this quote that james posted on his twitter and it kind of reinforced that little kernel of "maybe this isn't such a rational idea":
"To safeguard one's health at the cost of too strict a diet is a tiresome illness indeed."
- Francios de La Rochefoucauld
so i'm going to try and keep that in mind as i try to recreate a healthy diet for myself.
as well as going through my obscenely large folder of photos of myself and deleting a lot. it's kind of strange looking how i've changed over the past fourish years (i think that's how long i've had my camera). anyway, i have officially decided that i miss being a redhead but that i definitely like my hair better when it's a dark near black color. argh! the need to change my hair itch is coming back with a vengeance. i mean i haven't changed my hair in like....MONTHS. after a steady diet of new hair every month or two it's hard to cope with. also my regular hair color is blah.
god. i'm such a brat. and i feel like a super bum because all i did today was watch law and order and not fold my laundry. haha.
ok before i end, anne hamby fiiiinally gave me some super awesome pictures including funtimes had at the Wave over winter break as well as some other quality photos. i'm only going to post a couple of the bestest ones.
happy friday all <33
