there\u2019s SO MUCH i want to write right now, but it\u2019s almost midnight, i was going to be in bed by 11, but somehow that didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n
i got a B+ on my first english paper. not bad, considering that it\u2019s been a really really long time since i\u2019ve written an english paper, plus i think those old papers i wrote were pretty terrible. <\/p>\n
mostly i got a B+ because i used contractions. YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO USE CONTRACTIONS. he circled every single one, and there were many, many of them. also, some of my conclusions were “cloudy,” also easy to fix. the great thing is that i\u2019m going to meet with him tomorrow, and then i fix the paper, and then, erica tells me, he\u2019ll probably give me an A! how cool is that, getting to improve your grade?<\/p>\n
i\u2019ve been packing, that\u2019s why it\u2019s so late. i spent a lot of time wandering around looking for things. there\u2019s this play i\u2019m supposed to read, and it\u2019s a bright pink book, so you\u2019d think it would stand out, but it seems to have disappeared. i finally gave up, and started looking for this little travel-size bottle of perfume, but it, too, seems to have fallen into a black hole. i decided to give up on that for now, too. maybe i\u2019ll have a little free time tomorrow to seach some more.<\/p>\n
of course i packed way too many things. i did take out a sweater and a t-shirt, and that made me feel virtuous. i was talking to my friend kurt on the phone while packing, and he explained that when he packed to go on vacation, it took him 10 minutes, and all he took was a couple of t-shirts and shorts.<\/p>\n
but he\u2019s a guy. i pointed this out to him.<\/p>\n
i\u2019m also hoping that tomorrow i\u2019ll have time to re-think the many many things i\u2019m taking with me, maybe take some of them out. because i KNOW that you don\u2019t need as many things as i\u2019m taking. and yet i feel that i will need them.<\/p>\n
kurt and i are going to make some videos when i get back. funny videos.<\/p>\n
i was kind of sad to leave amy and jim\u2019s menagerie today, because all the animals are just so cute. but last night in the middle of the night, i was awakened a couple of times – once because a couple of cats decided to have a big fight, and once when the dogs started barking for no reason, and then began to howl. if i just yell BE QUIET really loud, they stop, but it\u2019s hard to get that much energy to yell in the middle of the night.<\/p>\n
tonight my own kittie, winnie, is very happy to see me, and he\u2019s lying here in bed with me, purring, and i feel bad that i\u2019m going to be gone so long.<\/p>\n
but he\u2019ll survive. he\u2019s a cat. cats are very resilient.<\/p>\n
plus that whole nine lives thing.<\/p>\n
i\u2019d kind of like to have that.<\/p>\n
sometimes i think about who i\u2019d like to be in another life. i feel that surely, in one more past lives, if i believed in that whole concept, and sometimes i do but sometimes i don\u2019t, i must have been a guy who was really anal and had a very rigid, structured life. and he probably made lots and lots of money, and he was very driven. but also probably not so happy. that\u2019s just my theory. so the only part of me that\u2019s like that now is that i sometimes i wish i were more driven, and i\u2019d like to have more money, and i could be happier. but i\u2019m pretty ok with the life right now, but of course i just happen to be going on VACATION tomorrow, so of course that colors things a bit.<\/p>\n
one thing i forgot to mention about “jekyll & hyde” – when i went to see it again on sunday afternoon, i suddenly started thinking about the fancy patent leather shoes that the men wore in some fancy dress ball scene. they reminded me of tap shoes, and i thought about tap dancing, because it\u2019s something i enjoy but haven\u2019t done in years and years. and then i thought, what if i suddenly went crazy and went up on stage and started tap dancing right there in the middle of the scene. <\/p>\n
wouldn\u2019t that be awful, if somebody did that? <\/p>\n
once i mentioned to someone about a random idea similar to that that i had, and he assured me that he never had thoughts like that.<\/p>\n
not that i\u2019d ever act on any of the odd things that i think about, but sometimes i think, what if NOW\u2019S THE TIME that i suddenly SNAP and go crazy, and jump up on a stage and start tap-dancing…or something else like that, entirely inappropriate.<\/p>\n
my english paper also had some insubordinate dangling clause participles, or something like that. i\u2019ll have to fix them, assuming i can pretend to know exactly what they are.<\/p>\n
good night. <\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
grace not feeling like going berserk at this particular moment, which is a good thing, but i\u2019m too tired to even do anything at all right now, and certainly not anything crazy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
