Spring break is coming!

Jen and Dana came up to NY today. I hung out with them for maybe an hour and a half before I had to go back and work on my art project. My oversized mini fridge hijacked my mind today. I don't know if I want to spray paint it and make it look trashy or if I want the raw wood. I really like working with wood.
Spring break starts in 11 days. The house we're staying at is beautiful. I have an essay and a Japanese midterm standing between me and freedom though. Gotta strap myself down and study. Sigh.

Fucked

This week is looking to go oh so well. I could just scream.

Rain

Some days it rains and it's depressing. Some days it pours and you have to go revel in the glory. Some days you have to go outside at least once for a refreshing walk. Today has been a rain-walk day. When you go out in the rain, don't take an umbrella. You will become the slave of the umbrella and it will pull you along merrily when the wind blows. You must have boots, because your feet must be dry. The rest of you can be wet and damp, but if your feet are dry, you have accomplished something amazing. You must have a destination where you can dry off, because that makes getting wet not a huge issue. The best is when you can go home and just strip everything of that is wet.

The absolute best in running around in a downpour after you stopped driving because it was raining so hard.

Vday

So tomorrow is Valentines day. And I'm still single. Single and waiting, as I have been for the last 9 or so months. The real question is do I want a relationship? At some points in my life I have been know to settle for something less than I think I deserve, and I don't want that to happen. And yet, it seems impossible to avoid.

So what am I doing tomorrow? Playing Frisbee! First official practice of the year. How could I ask for anything more romantic?

not drunk

It's kinda nice coming back from a party at 4am and not being drunk. I feel empowered. Like I don't need alcohol to have fun, an issue I've been thinking about this week. Because now I have so many more opportunities to get wasted, I need to pick and choose. It's not necessary to drink out of control to enjoy alcohol.

3/4=75%

random guy "hey, we're starting a christian youth..."
me "No"

I swear everytime a chritian group is trying to get people, someone approaches me. And it's annoying because I don't plan on being religious anytime in the near future. Maybe once I'm married and have kids...

Or I will be Jewish. Or let my kids be Jewish and I will exist in a happy bubble of my own morals.

I really hope I don't alienate random people. I probably do, cause I look oh so threatening with my lip ring.

It's amazing how important sleep is when you are in bed when compared to going out in the rain and waiting to get free tickets to a Broadway show or something else equally cool. I knew I shouldn't have gone to sleep last night! If I had stayed up, I would have a ticket to see Avenue Q right now. Sadly, after going to sleep at 3:30, when I semi-woke up at 6 this morning to my roommate going to wait for tickets, I made the decision that after two two-hour naps yesterday, another night of sleep deprivation is not a good idea. Plus, it takes so much effort to climb out of my bed...

Christian Bands

The names "mewithoutyou" and "five iron frenzy" do not sound like names for Christian bands. However, both mention Jesus or god in more than one song, and I'm pretty sure they weren't being sarcastic. I find it strange that now I'm not going to church it isn't so weird to think a Christian band is good. When I was forced to go to church I never would've considered listening to a Christian band.

On another religious note, the story of Adam and Eve bothers me. Especially Milton's version in Paradise Lost. As a woman I can't condemn Eve and say she was an idiot, she's to blame for the sins of the human race, without feeling like I'm saying men are ultimately superior in every way to women. But if I consider all the ways that Eve had every right to want to eat the fruit, I feel like a raging feminist. As if the story only means one extreme or another, which isn't possible.
