out of mind

while we're on the subject

i'm almost positive that i have a talent in attracting awkward situations.

can we change the subject now?

also, people keep mistaking me for a sophomore. i don't get it.

my job, did i tell you i got a job? at the theatre?, is getting so much better.

i love it.

all you heard

We're reading Egyptian poems and Greek lyric in one of my classes. These two really stood out to me--enough to blog about.

Girl) The Voice of the goose sounds forth

as he's caught by the bait. Your love

ensnares me. I can't let it go.

I shall take home my nets,

but what shall I tell my mother,

to whom I return every day

laden with lovely birds?

I set no traps today,

ensnared as I was by love.

-Love Lyrics of Ancient Egypt

-----------------------

He seems to me to be equal to the gods,

that man who sits across from you

and listens close at hand

to your sweet voice

and lovely laughter. Truly it sets

my heart to pounding in my breast,

for the moment I glance at you, I can

no longer speak;

my tongue grows numb; at once a subtle

fire runs stealthily beneath my skin;

my eyes see nothing, my ears

ring and buzz,

the sweat pours down, a trembling

seizes the whole of me, I turn paler

than grass, and I seem to myself not far from dying.

But everything can be endured, because...

-Sappho, Fr. 31

i can't tell if a guy is being very friendly, very creepy, or just very flirty.


This is problematic.

Bad Boys, Bad Boys, Whatchu gon' do when they come for YOU,

Hello.
Yes, it has been a while.
Yes, I am to blame.
But hey, what can I say, ju know?
I've been a little busy.
Just a tad.
It has been such a big change from doing nothing.
So, I am typing instead of studying.....
I'm so bad.
Oh, yess.
BAD TO THE BONE.
