I'm gonna miss these people when i'm gone.

Why did it take me so long to go visit the Michaelson Gallery? Note to self: visit often

"You're too practical" -Felicia, to me, at lunch. She continued to say that i should be more fluffy, by which apparently she means whimsical. Somehow not something i ever aspired to. Meg says i'm whimsical, which coming from her i don't take as an insult. This became a theme, recounted at dinner, and Anna said, "The idea of you being fluffy scares me."

I also talked about my Inklings class and C. S. Lewis and Surprised by Joy and my fury at the ending and in my recounting some of my initial fury came across and Emma said that was the first time she had ever seen me really angry. This seemed so odd to me, but then of course i realized that i tend not to get angry at my friends, so they're unlikely to see me angry. Allie and i have had heated discussions (often via LJ/AIM) but i'm not sure i've ever gotten really furious, either in print or in person. Hmm.

Kate and Laura introduced me and Cat to Foamy. Foamy's Rant II reminds me so much of my younger brother. (I e-mailed said brother and he replied: "that site is awesome, especially the rants.") I agree with Kate that the Amityville toaster was definitely the best of the ones we saw.

[And if you need more procrastination: Super Bowl ads]

Cat and i went upstairs to Felicia and Hilary's room and were cryptic and Felicia asked what we were up to and Cat said "sex" because that's her answer to everything (well that and potatoes) and then realized what she had said (and Cat is SO straight) and we started dying of laughter.

Ash Wednesday is tomorrow. When did that happen? I think part of my problem is that the weather has been so gorgeous that it doesn't feel like that 'long dark teatime of the soul' period i associate with Lent. Should i give up angsting about people liking me for Lent?

My BtVS-verse femslash ficathon assignment worries me.

I'm still deciding how i feel about Stacey's new haircut.

All American writing gives me the impression that Americans don't care for girls at all. What the American male really wants is two things: he wants to be blown by a stranger while reading a newspaper and he wants to be fucked by his buddy when he's drunk. Everything else is society.
-W. H. Auden, in The Table-Talk of W. H. Auden

P.S. Meg called me "hella cool" and "more than a little bit brilliant"
*dies*

And edit the second: #9 here is so cute. (And having read the book, i enjoy the Stardust icons.)

I thought only Catholics gave stuff up for lent?

I love you because you're not fluffy, and because you write about your boss' haircuts.

PS-I e-mailed Sheana.

I'm honestly not sure if Protestants do. It was never a part of my growing up. I always thought it was a Catholic thing, but at Smith lots of even non-Christian people do it. This year, a lot of people in my house are going vegetarian or vegan as sort of a trial run.

I love you because you're not fluffy, and because you write about your boss' haircuts.

*grins* (And in the interest of uber-clarification: Stacey's not my official boss; she's the hot accountant who reminds me of Catie Curtis and sometimes gives me work to do.)

Well, my vocabilulary was limited to either coworker or boss.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Fair enough.

[immortalavalamp.livejournal.com]

Wouldn't it be "...introduced Cat and me?" Or am I off my rocker?

*hides*

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Damn, you're right! *hates you* (But not really, of course.) *edits*

P.S. F has twice come down to add to my door. Good to know i'm the center of somebody's universe ;)

FLUFFY! nough said!

[gishmi1ish.livejournal.com]

I feel like I associate you with a certain level of whimsicalness because you seem (to me, anyways) imaginative and creative and fantastically-inclined. All these things require an innate whimsicalness, I think.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

That makes a lot of sense.

[gishmi1ish.livejournal.com]

Should i give up angsting about people liking me for Lent?

*chortles delightedly*

See! That sorta thing is whimsical. Yes, it's whimsy that's nicely tempered with a bit of dry wit, but it's still whimsy, damnit!

Dude, i was being much serious there. I have so much inner turmoil over "So-and-so hasn't gotten back to me about making plans to hang out" and "So-and-so never talks to me anymore" and so on. I have lots of wonderful people in my life and yet there are always amazing cool brilliant interesting people whom i want in my life and i worry that i'm not good enough for them (and i sometimes remember to remind myself that if someone doesn't recognize that i'm a damn cool person to have in their life than it's their loss) and i need to work on that.

[gishmi1ish.livejournal.com]

Well, maybe I'm just too much of a heathen to take it seriously, the idea of giving up angsting for Lent... but I thought it was pretty funny.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

Heathen! :P
