many times today, i kept wishing i\u2019d deleted that last posting from last night, but i just read it again, and i don\u2019t think it\u2019s really that bad. christine told me that jerri instant-messaged her, asking if i was all right, because of that last posting, i guess. <\/p>\n
it\u2019s funny how jerri and christine have an instant-messaging relationship. i wonder if they talk on the phone. how does jerri do all that instant-messaging while taking care of her baby? has lucy learned how to work the computer yet? she\u2019s about four months now, i think, i bet she\u2019s mastered it. <\/p>\n
i find the instant-messaging annoying, usually. i had yahoo instant messenger, but i deleted it. when i\u2019m on the computer, i\u2019m usually writing something, so having that instant message is too distracting. and if i\u2019m not writing, i\u2019m looking something up, and i don\u2019t like to be distracted from that. not usually, anyway.<\/p>\n
while i wasn\u2019t worrying that i sounded too depressed online last night, i was trying to think of some glimmer of goodness or happiness or joy or anything resembling any of the above, so that i could write about it, so as to not appear to be horribly depressed.<\/p>\n
well, i DO get to see jekyll & hyde again next sunday, but i think i already mentioned that. but it does make me happy, just thinking about the fact that i get to see it again. <\/p>\n
but sunday seems like a long way away.<\/p>\n
i turned in my english paper tonight. done.<\/p>\n
i wrote more of my play today, and i think i\u2019m nearing the end. i\u2019m pretty happy with it, and am eager to hear it read aloud.<\/p>\n
see, positive, positive, positive…<\/p>\n
i\u2019m going to visit christine in denver soon, and i know that will be fun. i may come back or i may not.<\/p>\n
i HAVE to come back, because i have to FINISH MY CLASSES.<\/p>\n
i still have to write one more paper for english class. it\u2019s due december 12th, exactly eight weeks from today. i wish i knew what the topic was already, so i could get started right now.<\/p>\n
erica didn\u2019t start her paper till saturday night, but she managed to write three drafts. the first one, she hand-wrote.<\/p>\n
i didn\u2019t tell her that i only wrote ONE DRAFT.<\/p>\n
i mean, i changed it around a little as i wrote, but i didn\u2019t write any more drafts.<\/p>\n
i think that erica is just a much deeper thinker than me.<\/p>\n
i hope i don\u2019t flunk my paper. that would kind of suck.<\/p>\n
i have no expectations about it.<\/p>\n
no expectations about ANYTHING.<\/p>\n
i HOPE to sleep through the night, for example, but i don\u2019t EXPECT to.<\/p>\n
tonight in class we talked about “the begger\u2019s opera,” an 18th century comedy. the professor started talking about sitcoms, and how they\u2019re pap for the masses, and then this one guy had a lot to say about tv, and i got bored with his discussion. the guy wanted to know how people who have “hard jobs,” i guess he meant welders and bricklayers and people who do physical hard work, how they feel about magazines and stuff writing so much about celebrities. hmm, in print that doesn\u2019t make a whole lot of sense; he must have made a couple more points about tv being crappy and celebrities, but it got slightly tiresome.<\/p>\n
i tried to point out that i know plenty of intelligent people watch some sitcoms, and how they like to escape. it\u2019s a little hard having a discussion about tv with the professor, because he doesn\u2019t even own a tv, and hasn\u2019t seen any tv since about 1950, i believe. is that about when it came out? i feel that maybe he watched a show or two when he was a tyke, but then, no more.<\/p>\n
personally, i think tv is just a way to fill up time. not necessarily a bad way, especially when there\u2019s something riveting like “meet joe black” on tv. i told my dad about it, and he wants to see it, but i told him that i ruined it for him, because i told him about brad pitt walking off into the sunset with anthony hopkins, but then brad came back to be with anthony\u2019s daughter. dad said he didn\u2019t mind, and i feel that maybe i didn\u2019t do an A+ job of actually describing the story in a logical manner, so that\u2019s a good thing if he couldn\u2019t follow it, and will be surprised as the story unfolds.<\/p>\n
did you BUY your ticket for “jekyll & hyde” yet? because it might just be TOO LATE, and then you\u2019ll miss it, and you\u2019ll be darn sorry you did. <\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace with no expectations about anything at all. ever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
