Sarah said the other day that she wished things were like they were when they were simple.
I concur.
I just bought my books for class and I think it's going to be really interesting and amazing. We shall see if I'm right.
I'm off to finish my book, but wanted to say that.

silent all these years
Bet you can't guess where that lyric came from (Lisa).
I feel like I need to qualify the statement about not being pregnant. That really should have gone right after the fainting at work statement. Number one, I fainted because I had blood taken earlier that day and had to be carted off in an ambulance to Abbott (apparently I was convulsing?). Number two, I paid enough to buy like 25 EPT tests for what they charged me to tell me I was not pregnant, even though I gave them three reasons why I could not possibly be pregnant at this time in my life. So that is what that was all about. Just so you are all aware. Not pregnant in any way, shape or form, and not even worried about it.
And then, this is from the book I'm currently reading and it's amazing:
"I lie down again with my back in the pine needles, and it feels good to breathe the ice-cold air. I look up between the tree trunks to the sky, which is completely clear and full of stars, and it slowly turns around, the whole world turns slowly around and is a huge, empty space. Silence is everywhere, and there is nothing between me and the stars, and when I try to think of something, I think of nothing. I close my eyes and smile to my self." - In the Wake, Per Petterson
Please read it. And read Out Stealing Horses, also by him, and is equally amazing. Have a cup of coffee and think of Norway while you read it and you shan't be sorry.
Off to clean my stuff up so that the cleaning lady doesn't clean it up for me.

today I’m sinking lower than the sun does on a Sunday
What's the song? Your move, friends.
I haven't posted in a long time. I've not felt like writing. I've been busy with work and post holiday celebrations. In the last month, I have: fainted at work, made a new friend, been told I am not pregnant (really, I was worried for a minute!), felt extremely happy, felt extremely low. Gotten drunk on a Thursday night because of a small thing that should not have upset me. Felt like I can't do my job, felt too young, too incompetent and felt pretty kick ass all at the same time. I made meatloaf that rivals my grandma's, broken a few dishes and spilled too many things to count. I have also made a complete fool out of myself and been without a voice for almost a week. And I have seen three of the best picture nominations and one in the animated category (Persepolis - if you haven't seen it, check it out - it's really interesting!).
It's amazing that January is almost over. I'm glad, because that means we are so much closer to spring and that means that my vacation starts over (in June) and that I will start my new class. Monday night classes are generally not that fun, but we shall see. The prof is amazing and I'm feeling rejuvenated just thinking about it.
So there you have it. Bring on the leap year - I'm ready for it!

I know more than I knew before
It's been quite a while since I've written anything, friends and I don't have that much to say. There are entertaining stories a plenty from Christmas, New Year's, etc., but I don't have time to tell you them all right now. Another time - or else, if you want to know, ask. :)
But, I did want to say that I wish for you all a very happy 2008. I've had several people tell me that they've got a good feeling about this upcoming year and I would say for once, I actually have to agree. In 2008, I will not be so defeatist and believe more in good things, good moments, and good people.
If you care to share a resolution (you don't need to share the private ones that you hope no one ever finds out about), feel free. I like knowing what other people resolve. Because, we all "get by with a little help from our friends."
Quote o' the day:
