I am reading little bits of twenty different books at once, practicing yoga, meditation, Alexander Technique and learning how to cook Indian cuisine. I do my best at everything I spend time on, because each activity is its own work of art.

Wee Morning

Heya,

I just finished vacuuming my room, because Danika's room inspires me. It's very clean now, although rather full of piles. I spent a lot of today filing, and sorting, and walking around in bright blue tights. These tights are the same hue of intensity as the green directors use on Making the Video for the CGI animation backgrounds. They are seriously intense, ex. I was walking my dog, and people driving by turned around because the tights were so bright. Yep.

Ah, I have to make a plan for homework yet, because I have to be super-efficient now to please everybody.

It's really dark in the room where I am.

My parents finished putting up some Greek statues in my bathroom. One is of a god, but not one of the main ones of whom I remember names. He plotted to murder his step-brother, and then he went on many boar hunts. There is also a nude goddess, I think she was a shepherdess.

Jessica is an awesome dancer:

So, here's a letter from my friend Connie, to share a bit:

Hi my dear friend,

ohh... you're forgiven! *lol*

yes you're right. I'm on vacation now. And I'm so happy about it.
I'll only stay at home, but I think I'll meet my friends, go shopping, and just have time for myself! ;-)

Oh yes CNN. We can also receive it. ;-)

No I don't really fear terror attacks in my country, because I think we are just a little country, and we don't really think that anything will happen here, but of course it could be....
I don't live in a big city or our capital, but you know I go to school there, and my dad works there, and I also have some cousins and an aunt who's living there.

You know, many kids from my school are from turkey, some from serbia, Croatia,... And in my class we are just 5 or 6 from Austria, and many thinks we don't like them, because they are islam. But that's so awful, 'cause that isn't a reason for me!!!!
I don't ahte islam, I just hate the terrorists, and it doesn't amtter from where they come, or what they believe in, or?
How do you think about it?
But now enough from that...

My school starts at 7.40 am.
When does your school start?

Today I was just at home, and it was boring! *lol* I watched tv, and I was just surfing the net...

How do you celebrate easter?
(you do celebrate it, right?)

Oh today we had a demonstration in Vienna. I doNn't know exactly why, but I think it was something with school. Maybe because of the lessons, or so... I don't know. Do you often have demonstrations?

Okay, wish you a nice day, and hope you'll write back very soon! :)
Your friend, Connie


That's that for now. Love to all!!

Suckage

I'm going to fall asleep now. Things are sucky. I can't function anymore, and I'm beginning to think I'm stuck in hell. Teachers don't pay attention, and I have to make my own school later at home. All I want is beauty in my life, but I can't even manage that most of the time.

"Everything Will Change" (dance dance dance)

Being a klutz is no fun, but I'm not so much, not compared to other people's bruises.

BRAIN MOVEMENT IS GOOD.

I would now like to be philosophical and snobby:

"I'm not saying she was lying to me, but she just acted so different before I got to know her, and if she really isn't like what she was at the beginning, I wish she could have just said so. But maybe she is like she was at the beginning, and I just didn't realize it."
-Chbosky

"Alviza calls it an unpardonable breach of delicacy to dare to write love letters to a woman who you adore and who, gazing tenderly at you, swears that she will never love you."

-XC, Stendhal

If it pertains, did you know that Stendhal was a woman?

IHS (wink)

Fluffly Poodles

I awoke to find a poodle named Wanda in my backyard. She is black and spindly and awfully fluffy, but now she has gone away.

I don't have much to report besides the fact that I found some PERFECT clothes when out shopping the town with Rose, and I bought them all yesterday, plus another skirt. But I don't think I'll wear the other skirt to school because I don't want to rip you off, Rose. It's gray and pleated just like yours, and is already your trademark, but I fell in love with it, so I'm wearing it about the house.

I think I'm going to do all my shopping vintage now because I've decided I like shopping, just recently. In a way this is a sad thing to blog about, because I'm slowing turning into the penpal I never wanted, who likes to shop, and dance, and, um, attend a (if SINGULAR) school basketball game. I actually scared away one of my penpals talking about the rah-rah of the south bastketball state tournament. It was sad, really.

But true.

Today I plan to read about World War One for six hours, and then outline my term paper. I also have to call Megan (I need to keep promises more), buy some stationary for my penpal, rehang my bulletin board... I think those are the main things for now. I could go on, and I'm tempted to, but I don't want to be too unrealistic.

So, I hope everyone who reads this has a lovely day, and I hope it gets sunny again. But even if it doesn't, I'll be happy anyway, because its just another excuse to wear knee socks.

Oven Cleaner

Ugh, today is so HARD. I took my calculus test this morning, and it lasted for four and a half HOURS. I came out of it dazed and walking slightly funny, and then I realized I was late for IHS. So I skedaddled over there to Ms. Leonard's class, where I prompty dozed off. Then I got up and walked out. I ended up waiting around to get Anna's car keys, in the music hall. It was especially strange because the choir was singing really strong chords, and the orchestra was playing music fit for a moment of peril. I was really really out of it.

Of course, the AP testing room was full of all the things you might expect: sputting flourescent lights, coldness, coughing, and electric pencil sharpener noise pollution.

Yeah, so this afternoon I slept for five hours, and I missed dumpster diving! Ack!

I wish I could do something I am good at for a change; lately school has been a large pain in the rear, and it searches for things which I do not wish to provide. OH, btw, I'll not be around for the next two days due to EXTENSIVE IB math testing. Woo!

PostScript. As I type, Rose is in utter bliss off RIGHT IN FRONT OF Belle and Sebastian, probably sans annoying drunk girls, with Drew, dressed really cute, and of course surrounded by awesome B+S fans. Oooh! I hope when I fall asleep I'll dream I'm there.
