nagi_schwarzThere's something about being a girl. Sometimes - usually when I'm mad - I wish as all hell that I were a guy so I could haul off and punch someone and people would shoot me a dirty look and chalk it up to testosterone and say nothing more. But in the end, I love being a girl. We girls had fun tonight. Del came and found BenTen and I while we were at dinner, so me, Del, BenTen and Erin huddled in the living room together watching "Practical Magic." Great movie. Haven't seen it in years. It came up because Erin was reading the book, and she says the book is great. Girls need to get together and do something empowering like that more often - not the sending a man's soul to hell part. The power part. Yeah.
I think I'm finally getting a grip on this massive paper of doom for Tvordi. I headed off to the library today and picked up some useful books, and I've actually made it through the Milton prose readings of all headaches so I'm going back through Paradise Lost marking up Satan's speeches, commentary about God and Satan from the narrator, and perhaps some of God's speeches too. It's hard to tell what Milton actually thinks of Kings, because numerous times in "Tenure" he insists that God is the only rightful king, but in Paradise Lost neither God nor Satan is much in the way of the king, and frequently display attributes of Bad Kings. Should make things interesting. I do hope so.
These last few days I've been hanging out in the Centrum watching this whole SUU Idol fiasco and wondering what people are thinking, but it's fun to watch, and the singers have good voices, so I'm going to stick it through.
On a more bizarre note, I've realized that I don't get as depressed alone in my room late at night. When I was a kid it didn't bother me so much, but I think after a VERY short run of boyfriends I'm not used to being alone...or at least I wasn't. I've learnt how to be alone again. How to be alone without being lonely. It's a nifty skill to have, especially when you have to haul through political tracts and such nonsense.
We girls have to band together.
Beginning of story.
