Je suis fatigué

It's been a long fun day. I woke up and went to work, which was boring as usual, but I made a pretty good dent into my French HP book. Then I went over and did the pre-show for whistle, which was fun. I got to build my brick wall one last time and scream a lot. Then me and Brian tried to marry my computers so that I could transfer my music onto this one. Well let’s just say that that was a huge fiasco but we're getting there. I think I have an idea I just need Brian to set it up again. So Melinda, Kim, Brian, and I all went out to dinner here in Hyde Park. I forget the name of the restaurant but it was really good. I think I might stop by and see about a job for the summer. Then me and Kim ditched B. and M. to go see Star Wars.

It was really sad but weird because you knew what was going to happen. It reminded me of my Greek thought and lit. class. We would be discussing some Greek play and even if we hadn't been assigned to read the whole thing yet the prof. always would spoil the ending during our discussion. To experience the play as an ancient was to know the mythology and the stories already. So to pick up some of the subtle ways the author would play with things our prof. would tell us what was going to happen so we could experience the play like a real Greek or roman. Well it kind of worked but seeing this movie was like really experiencing what that must have felt like. Everyone knows Anakin is going to become darth vedor (sp?) and amidala (sp?) is going to die. The interesting part is seeing how they get there. It was just kinda fun to really see what it must have felt like.

The only thing that really bothered me was Anakin. At the end of the movie when he's been burned and his entire world is falling apart I didn't even feel sorry for him. I mean throughout the movie he's so distant, which didn't bother me. But when he was with amidala I didn't feel his love for her. He just didn't seem to be very human to me. So when his entire world collapses I didn't feel sorry for him because I wasn't very emotionally invested in his character. I felt sorry for amidala and the republic and obi one (sp?? darn star wars names!!!!) but not for Anakin. He just seemed like a monster. I understood why he questioned the Jedi for wanting to kill the chancellor. He wanted to preserve that ideal of what is right. But he himself had violated that same code at the beginning of the movie by killing what's his name. So I felt for him in his struggle to make a choice and find what is right but the whole love and loss thing just didn't strike a chord. Well I should get to sleep. Melinda and I are going to go look at Bikes tomorrow and I have to study for 3 French orals on Monday!!!! Vale!

Of course i am an egyptian goddess! lol.

Isis
Indeed, you are 75% erudite, 70% sensual, 37% martial, and 29% saturnine.
This Egyptian
supreme Goddess is certainly the most influential deity on subsequent
cultures. She was the ideal figure of womanhood, usually compared with
the Greek Goddess Demeter or her Roman version, Ceres.


Isis was one element of a Holy Trinity, the remaining two figures being her brother and husband Osiris and their heroic son Horus. She was the Goddess of Magic for her brilliance, as well as the Goddess of Love because of her tenacious devotion.


She is often shown with wings, curving to caress coffins and sarcophagi
of many a king. In certain papyri she is shown with her falcon wing
headdress, covering her ears. One of her sacred symbols is the sistrum,
a musical instrument that was believed to ward off evil spirits. Isis'
sistrum was carved bearing the image of a cat and was representative of
the Moon.


Isis was the High Priestess and an omnipotent magician as well as the only being ever to discover the secret name of Ra.
She invariably carries the ankh, the symbol for eternal life. Her name
is, by the rules of numerology, adding up to the number “2” and she
just so happens to be depicted on the tarot card “Key 2 – The High
Priestess”.

But it makes me feel like I'm alive again...


Hey, nice. It seems your personality is mostly balanced. You are likely intuitive, ambitious, and deliberate.


However, if you ever feel scattered or rushed, try wearing a Clear Quartz. It inspires clarity of thought and memory and thus helps balance out your somewhat shy Throat Chakra, which is associated with the element of wind and represents our desire to learn and communicate.

No more ibook... :(

Well i went and talked to my advisor today and we talked about my schedule and me wanting to graduate after third year. Well the best solution we could come up with for my extra tech. class i need for rotc is to take one over the summer for three weeks. And of course the only summer I'm not doing stuff for rotc is this summer and I just happen to already have the amount of money i need to take the class but only if i don't buy my ibook now. Sadness!!! Oh well. I'll just have to save over the summer. At the museum now. Kinda bored. Vale!

My cheeks are red!

So today in ROTC we were outside cuz it was field day and we were playing softball and ultimate frisbee. And it was chilly out most of the day and of course my cheeks got all sunburned lol. THat's all I ever do. I'll have to get back in the habit of putting sun block on every day like i did in FL. Went to the Naked Theatre meeting today. They're weren't very many people there today. It was cool though. I'm excited about this "fragments" (soon to be re-named) workshop. I hear it's this sun. but i don't know what time. We'll see. I just want to get up and dance!! I really don't feel like doing hw. Maybe I'll clean my room. Who knows! Wahoo!!! Ladeda. Well Vale!

I'm just so sick..(Beware complaining is about to ensue)

sasjkldjlsflkasfljksdfljkdf!!!! I'm just so sick of my room. Of this french essay. Of just whatever. jljaldfjklasl. Not in a good mood right now. I'm just mad at myself for not showing them what I do best. For letting myself freak out. For not being myself. My quirky high energy self. I miss having something that I really love to do. Something I'm passionate about. I've been so busy not doing homework and such that I haven't made time to do stuff for me. Well that stops now. I'm making a schedule and world you better watch out cuz it's going to be packed! Details to come later... Vale!

Saturday, April 09, 2005

I'm still here. . .

I'm still at the desk... My mind is blahhhh... They guy who's supposed to do the desk still hasn't come back yet. Maybe he was abducted by aliens. One hour and 20 minutes left. Darn this place sucks out your soul@!! I can't even read HP en francais ici@@!!! Whatever. Vale.

Chillin'

So I'm working this desk this morning at the museum. Got a bagel for breakfast... Not much else to report. Spent all of last night sleeping. I went to bed at like 8. I guess i was making up for lost time or something. So I'm just sitting here. Vale!

Journal Entry

I just don’t know exactly what I want anymore. Is it adventure? A home? A dream? To know what it’s like to be close to someone? To have the strength to let people see that I’m vulnerable. It was so much easier chasing after a star. You didn’t have to think. You just had to keep moving forward. But I don’t know anymore. Can I still justify doing something because it will be fun and exciting? Because it makes all of me burn with a curiosity that’s hard to ignore? I feel so lucky to have had so many great teachers and opportunities. But I wasn’t really happy there. I think the disconnected loneliness was the worst. I’ve always had great friends and I have absolutely no right to complain. They kept me sane and moving forward. They helped me to forget the world at home. I know my family loved me and I cared about them so much that I just couldn’t understand why they would treat me like that. But school, drama, Egypt—they were nothing but my way out. My ways to ignore, forget, and avoid that place where no one knew me or wanted to take the time to get to know me. But what do I really want? In my search for an escape I stumbled on things I really love. But pursuing them makes me feel so guilty. I have this need to interact with people, to care about people. I don’t know why. But what is drama but a way of studying and trying to understand people. I love Egypt because I love the people. Somehow I can care about people who don’t exist or died hundreds of years ago. And so I find in myself this guilt when I think of going after my dreams. How are those dreams going to help the people I care about?

Spinning

It's soooooooo nice out today. So I wore my favorite skirt and twirled the whole way to drama class listening to dreamy twirly songs the whole way there. It was fabulous. Saw Rachael at lunch which was fun. Now I'm killing time before work at 4pm. I'm kinda excited cuz Jeremy agreed to help me work on this monologue I want to put together for UT day or something. It's going to be great fun. Lets see oh and I'm going to this acting workshop on Friday which should be fun. I have to pick 3-5 to memorize and I'm not sure what I want to pick. We'll see. Oh and I've got this darn song from company stuck in my head. It's called "getting married today" and the girl talks like 90mph. It's fabulous! I think I might memorize it just for the heck of it lol. Got nothing better to do this quarter. Well I'm gonna take a nap. Vale.

My Wand!

cedar
10 1/2 inches, cedar and floo powder, a strange
Gregorovitch combination indeed! You've been
bitten bad by the travel bug, and change is the
name of your game. A true wanderer, you can't
stay long in one place and wish to travel the
world.


Which wand will yours be?
