caution: you are currently experiencing catharsis

well, you might not be, but i sure am.

this is what doing homework looks like:

sic transit gloria

have i mentioned how amazing it is to walk around a college campus full of homeless people?
just wondering.

um, i don't know how many more blogs are going to get posted today, but i'm blaming it on the 40+ ounces of coffee i have consumed this afternoon.

question:

is it inappropriate to have a love affair with a mountain? because i'm pretty sure i have one with Mt. Rainier. i have now lived here for almost 9 months, and i still have not gotten over how AMAZING it really is. it completely brightens my whole day. i know most people who live here get over it, but i hope i never do. thank God for the pacific northwest.

has anyone ever seen the movie "Dangerous Liaisons"? if so, i'm really sorry. if not, lets try to keep it that way. although, i do have to admit that it officially forced me to see John Malkovich as being pretty hot, something my husband has been trying to convince me of for quite some time.


can someone explain to me why people drink hot beverages with a straw? i'm still working on figuring that one out. and don't tell me it is better for your lipstick or i will have to strangle you.

coming back to movies, why haven't you seen "Slumdog Millionaire" yet? go out right now and see it. and you are forbidden from eating, drinking, or getting up to pee during the movie, because it is far too good of a movie to be ruined with such interuptions. literally, i smile just thinking about it. best. movie. ever.


why do people say that these things get easier with time? if anything, they get harder with time. so much harder. [desperately fighting the urge to "thats what she said"] but honestly, this is one of the worst times in my life thus far. i have no problem admitting that, nor do i have a problem admitting that i have really bad days occassionally as of late. i wish i had the strength of Thoreau and could find solace in solitude. but i unfortunately crave face time, especially with my husband. damn my dependence on humans.

why do people think it rains here all the time? it doesn't. stop being morons.

why do we move so fast? why do we consider the time it takes to smell a rose to be long enough to constitute slowing down? i love how falsely philosophical college makes me feel.

something about "Home Life" by John Mayer, and "Raining in Baltimore" by Counting Crows comes to mind right now. oh wait, now i have broken my trend of questions. crap.

random notes:

i have a cat who likes to play fetch, and a cat who has a jealousy problem with my laptop.

fernando, my big black baby, loves any toy that looks like a stick. recently he has begun running out to get one of his stick toys, and bringing it to me. i will pick it up, twirl it around in front of his face, and then throw it across the room. he then darts off after it, and brings it right back to me! who needs a dog when you have a cat who can play fetch?

laney, my little torbie, is in constant competition with my laptop. whenever i take my laptop out to use it, she runs across the room and leaps up on the couch, lays down, and scoots herself over until her body is covering my keyboard. then she just lays there, looking up at me with her big eyes, waiting for love.

on another subject: Swingtown. probably the strangest show i have ever seen. more on that later...
