i went back today and read some of my posts from the very beginning (2004), and was kinda embarrassed by a lot of them.  i guess i was younger and all, but goodness, was i that spastic? 
anyways.  i'm ready to get a lot of sleep. 
happy scare a friend day!

lately, i've gotten the feeling that i'm hanging on to everything by just the tips of my fingers.  i've got a lot going for me, but not firmly grounded in anything.  i want to be able to stand all the way up on something.  everything.
i spent time yesterday cleaning my room instead of writing my paper that's a week overdue.  it was pretty enjoyable, i have spaces on desks, chairs, floors, etc that i didn't have before.  i should put some food in my fridge too.  then i could eat, and that would be pleasant.
sometimes i feel like doing this.
i'm almost trained to be a lifeguard instructor, so my next weekends will be eaten up with finishing training and then training new guards.  someday i will escape.

long time no see

i haven't been on here in forever, and since i've been gone, they've changed the whole layout of this.  it took me 10 minutes just to find out how to post a new entry.  goodness.
life is good, kinda crazy.  i've skipped work all this week to work on a paper and sleep.  during the past few days, i've been going to a lifeguard instructor training class, learning how to teach other lifeguards how to be good lifeguards.  anyways, that's been sucking my time. 
but i have juice and i have goldfish, and i have chocolate, and i have a paper to write, so thus goes life.  and God is good, as always, even when i don't want to admit it. 
now that i've written on here again, i feel like everything i have to say is in on that first layer of skin, the layer you can scratch off without feeling any pain.  maybe i'll write something meaningful later. 
i'm going to go back to skipping work and writing my paper now.

i haven't gotten much sleep lately.  i did just turn in the rough draft of paper about the grammar of indonesian.  it was horrid, missing a couple sections, but my partner and i wore ourselves down to get that much turned in.  39 pages and we still hadn't covered transitive, intransitive, ditransitive, equative, locative, attributive, existential, or possessive clauses.  and some other stuff. 
it's somewhat strange to me that some people have no idea what i'm talking about, considering that's what i've been living, eating, breathing, sleeping for the past 6 or 12 weeks.  i guess grammar is basic, but phonology?  morphology?  morphophonemics?  valency?  inflection vs derivation?  i like the jargon. :) 
anyways, these past weeks have been tough, but the next two are going to be really rough.  at least the next week.  i have a 15-25 page cultural anthropology paper (don't get me started on that class, i can't stand it) due on tuesday, which i haven't started.  the final draft of the grammar paper is due on friday.  then i've only got finals and one more huge project (a lexicon!  670+ and counting!) to turn in before dec 14. 
i didn't mean for this to turn into a whiney post about homework.  it's been on my mind and...yeah not much else has been.  but except for anthro, i really really like it.  in fact, i would actually be enjoying myself right now if it wasn't for that.  but i'm learning things.  and...it's good for me.  i say that with the grudgingest of attitudes. 
two suns in my recent past: preetika and kristin!  i was glad to see both of them a lot.  both of you.  preetika won't read this, kristin, you should tell her i wrote horrible tales about her and her mother.  just kidding, i like her mother. 
i can't wait for this bimester to be over, there's so many things i want to do that i haven't had time to for a while.  mm sleeping would be nice too. 

there once was a girl
who had a little curl
right in the middle of her forehead
when she was good
she was very very good
but when she was bad
she was horrid. 

i like to sing that. 
i wish it was warm and sunny outside, and that i could be in it. 
the library i work in is fun at night, because when i lock up, i like leaving the christmas lights on, so it's just books and twinkles in the dark. 
i gotta take a nap or something, this is silly.
