I finally did it!

I deactivated my facebook account! Sure, it's still there and all I have to do is log in to see it again, but I'm okay with that, because I don't plan to be done with it forever. I just need a break from it for now...for a few reasons. Mainly, I miss real life...I miss how people used to actually talk to each other, and not just post on each other's walls. I still have email, but I need a break from the whole facebook scene.

And today is Saint Patrick's Day! I was invited to go to a party tonight in honor of the day, which I'm wicked excited about, because this day is not celebrated enough out here- I guess there aren't enough Irish Catholics here, as opposed to Boston. It's hard to find anything Saint Patrick's Day-related in stores, too. Trust me, I looked. Oh, and I have another thing to add to my bucket list: be in Ireland on Saint Patrick's Day sometime.

We're working on the waltz in my dance class. It's pretty awesome...because I learned it in 180, and now I'm learning it again in 181, but this time it has a cowboy twist to it. Like, instead of adding a flourish with our hands out (as in 180), we put our hands on our hips or belt buckle during those moves. I love dancing, but I think I've found my favorite kind during this class, and...no surprise here, it's country dancing. I just wish I went dancing more often than I do...and that people at home knew how to do this stuff, so we could go dancing at home too. Maybe I should just go to Nashville again!

Alright gotta go be Irish.

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

Hamlet

One of my favorite scenes from Hamlet (which is probably my favorite of Shakespeare's plays) is right after Polonius is murdered. I love the literal yet sarcastic reply Hamlet gives to King Claudius at his inquiry to the location of Polonius. KING CLAUDIUS Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius? HAMLET At supper. KING CLAUDIUS At supper! where? HAMLET Not where he eats, but where he is eaten: a certain convocation of politic worms are e'en at him. Your worm is your only emperor for diet: we fat all creatures else to fat us, and we fat ourselves for maggots: your fat king and your lean beggar is but variable service, two dishes, but to one table: that's the end. KING CLAUDIUS Alas, alas! HAMLET A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a king, and cat of the fish that hath fed of that worm. KING CLAUDIUS What dost you mean by this? HAMLET Nothing but to show you how a king may go a progress through the guts of a beggar.
