So I've been marking article reviews for like a week now. Well, okay, I took yesterday off to mostly sleep, watch Farscape and JFK (the movie with Kevin Costner - remember it?). I'm so sick of them. Luckily, I have only 5 left, which I'll have to somehow figure out how to mark before 1:00pm tomorrow, when I meet with the professor. I have to...

My schedule is still all shot to hell. Up at 5, down at 2, up at the next 5. I'm grainy-eyed and pressed-inwards by the dark of my apartment, huddled by the warm pink glow of SG.com.

My mix trade group got approved yesterday! Yay! I posted a mix, and so did a hip Australian d00d. Mine has been downloaded twice, and I'm presently...

Today was worse than yesterday. I went to bed at 1pm, and woke up at 11pm. I'm exhausted now, at 8:30am. I have so much to do, and so little time to do it. I wrote an email to my professor asking for an extension a paper he already gave me a month's extension for, when the new semester starts next week.

dead in the...

hehe i like your theme.

i think we are all addicted to this site, for one reason or another.

ha ha yes, my situation exactly. i ended the semester really ill so one of my professors gave me an extension on my paper, but i'll be damned if i so much as even look at the rough draft before the break is over.

I haven't seen the sun in days. I tried to flip my schedule back the right way, yesterday, by staying awake until 6pm, and then going to sleep. But I was awake again at midnight, with an even more screwed up schedule.

Now, in the dark, silent, snow-suffocated depths of a lonely New Years Eve, I pace the darkened hallway between the kitchen and computer...

the music swapping idea sounds intriguing ... though im a bit apprehensive about the legal problems that might come up if it were being facilitated by the site, know what i mean?
dont wanna get missy & spooky in troble ...

yea.. music is a topic i don't have much in common with people around here. and i haven't gotten into mp3s and stuff really.

i still think it's a lovely idea!

Hello friends,
I did some heavy thinking last night about possible methods to start a SG mix-trading group online, and I'm starting to get pretty excited about some of the possibilities I came up with. Let me outline what seems the most promising scenario, for you now.

The required tools:
1. An SG group devoted to mix trading, where we can post these things.

2....

i would say leave it open for all, unless and until someone causes you to think otherwise.

It's like 4am, and I'm awake marking article reviews for the course I'm a teaching assistant for. Ancient Science and Technology. Lots of papers about Archimedes, Roman vaginal specula and glass-blowing. I need to get them marked for January 3rd. Hopefully enough before January 3rd, that I still have time to write my own damned paper. I have an idea on how to radically revolutionize...

hey there.
this music swapping thing is an intriguing idea, but youd definately have to keep it on the hush hush, id think.

Day of nothingness. Home from my parents. Putting off doing proper work. Here's something I just found in my desk:

I was doing fine til I saw you
I was doing fine,
til you came
I was doing fine, til you called me
and you called me by name
I was doing fine,
til I loved you
doing fine.

i love finding things.....like poems......that you forgot about. i was cleaning out my files and found a ton of poems and stories, most of which i don't remember writing.
pulp. i think i will go listen to some pulp now. thanks for reminding me...

travelling back in time a few days in response to yer response about little ones growing up. I'm already seeing their distinct personalities come even more into the foreground, such a strange thing, and in a weird way humbling thing to see. now I know why my grandparents always trip so much on me

Guh. I woke up at 4:30pm! That'll teach me for staying up all night, obsessively checking every nook and cranny of SG. I go home today; gonna take the bus! I like the bus, though I'm aware many people do not. Why? You know how people sometimes take their babies for a drive to lull them to sleep? Well, it still works wonders on me,...

Esthero is OK. I know the song you are referring to. I previously went by indigo but I think that was taken. I think one of the Esthero members is from my hometown in Minneapolis/St. Paul.
I like your music and movie picks - especially Hayden.
Carry on.

Ah, nice to meet another Ottawaian!

Boxing Day? All the stores were open! Crass American Commercialism wins the day again. You heard me, Americans. Though I don't really count you people amongst the evils of your culture. You're the exceptions, and that's why I hang out here and not somewhere else. That and the fact that I can look at naked girls and not feel dirty here, for some reason. Maybe...

The Two Towers rocks my socks. It's good stuff.

Thanks for the advice in my journal, it was very well received. Gives me lots to consider.

And Ottowa doesn't sound so bad when you offer me a comfy bed with a warm body wink
toreena:
The meeting is tonight!
We'll tkae pictures and post them in SGcanada.

Christmas Day, eh? I don't see what's so great about it. I got woken up early-early by my sister, after about 3 hours of sleep. I would thankfully have slept for another thousand hours, thank you very much. First thing I pulled out of me stocking was a thousand-dollar cheque from my parents. Great gift? Maybe. I'm going to use it to live, and living...

I don't think I've heard All or Nothing at All!
I wish I could afford to pick up some more Frank.
The Best is Yet to Come is great, but I always identify it with Tony Bennett.

You and me, buddy. When I get home from my parents (should be tomorrow night), I'm going to set you up an account on my FTP, and we're going to trade a little. smile

Hello, and Merry Christmas and all that. I'm really enjoying myself down here. Acknowledgement to Freyja: I didn't do the curl up and cry thing, but I did keep it in mind as I just -opened- myself to whatever, and hung out with my family. It helped a hell of a lot. We didn't do much; just hung out watching TV and chatting, but it...

So I'm at my parents now. Took the train! Trains are fun! Trains have bar carts! Wheee! Also, there was this incredibly hot girl sitting kitty corner to me. She was a hecka lot slenderer than I like, for normal, but somehow... so goddamned hot.

When I arrived at the station, my mom and sister were waiting for me. smile Very nice to feel so welcomed...

my parents pretend i'm someone else for me which is kind of cool since it's something i could only wish to be.

there are lots of SGs in your area, actually.
lucky you!

if you are not yourself with your family.. who are you? are you trying to be someone you think they want you to be? do you harbor resentment towards them? have you been hurt by them? you gotta just let that shit go. crawl up into a ball in your mom's lap. let her pet your head. cry for all the things you never told her. get your sister involved.. confess to them this behaviour and let them overwhelm you with 'we love you for who you are' type stuff.

good luck and happy holidays!!
