And there it is!

And there it is!

I missed my feeling of righteous indignation. It had been missing the past few days, hiding under a flurry of appointments and obligations of which I have not yet cancelled or fallen behind in my scheduling. But, this week has left me with little time to think outside that box (and CLAUDE how I hate that phrase!) and so, I almost resigned myself to the fact that there was nothing really going on in my head. I kind of enjoyed the break, really, it gave me time to chew more ice and play with playdoh.

Its hard to be indignant when playing with playdoh, unless you’re 3 and your sister refuses to share the pink/green/white/blue/carpet/cereal version she just compounded together and that you think tastes like pudding, only better. But, fear not! Today, I was given my free pass to the land of indignation! I’ll look up that word after I’m done bitching about…

“WOMEN.”

I was trying to find out synonyms for “women” for a new project on my horizon. I went to thesaurus.com because, well, where else do you go for synonyms? Guess what it says for “women” in thesaurus.com?

I’m too busy burying my head in a man’s strong embrace to even think clearly right now. While I put my weaker sex self back together, compare difference between the synonyms for “men” and “women” out there. Really, go look!
My makeup is all smeared now, and I think I have a case of the vapors. Please send money, flowers and maid service immediately.

Its funny when you have nothing to blog about…

Its funny when you have nothing to blog about…

You look around and think, wow, its so interesting that my love fern is droopy. How can I spin that? No, wait, how about the fascinating server work I’m performing blindfolded? That’s fun. Maybe I could throw in an interesting tidbit about how after leaving my aquarium light off for 2 days, I discovered a baby guppy and named it “squishy.”

Sometimes, you think that you could pull your school thoughts together enough to talk about androgyny and how to properly dissect history and religion. Blah.

Or, you could post a random YouTube because the song is stuck in your head, yet again…

Once again, I am reminded of a girl…

Once again, I am reminded of a girl…

Every few weeks, she and I enter each others’ lives and we catch up and talk and laugh and just… are. Each and every time that this happens, there comes this moment where I literally think, “whoa, she is doing it, she is really doing it!” and I want to simultaneously hug her and pour a few drinks down her throat in celebration. This is someone with whom I’ve gone from “big sister” to “mortal enemy” to “best friend” to “fucking bitch” and now to “I’m just in awe of you.” Oh, and there was that month of non-stop Nip/Tuck analysis ;)

Every time the “awe” happens, I want to blog about it, because I’m so proud to have this person in my life, especially when it gives me such a fabulous reason to avoid my own reading. Sometimes, you just have to realize that the lessons being given to you, over and over again, can be lessons about love and friendship, and they don’t have to be so hard. And sometimes, you just have to blog about it because there’s really no other way to express things, unless you send a cookie bouquet or something.

I am Artemis

I am Artemis

According to this

So is Hildegard of Bingen, who is one of my “mystic” studies this semester. Nothing is coincidence, right?

I fell in love with Greek Goddess spirituality last semester. Maybe more than astrology, even. Its fun to imagine my friends embodied with the strengths of goddesses. Hell, its fun to know that I’ve got a whole lot of Artemis in me, so back the fuck off :)

Take the quiz and tell me who you are
