More cynical thoughts from me …
There is a girl in my art appreciation class who dresses all in black and spouts out strings of sentences that make no sense whatsoever. (Things that, I’m assuming, must sound poetic when on at least one mind-altering drug.) She protests everything and drags around sketches of her boyfriends smoking pot. I guess by her talking about the evils of eating meat and the fact that she experimented with bisexuality that we will all be impressed by her obviously superior intellect and life experience. Then comes another string of similies about how life is like a really good soyburger … My take on it: The fact that no one understands you doesn’t mean you’re an artist.
Little Miss Showoff in Religion today decided to speak loudly enough to share with the entire class that some guy had told her about a fantasy he had with her in it. I thought: I’m already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth.
I got asked out today by one of the Eminem look-alikes. All I could think was: How about never? Is never good for you?
Site I Am Addicted To …
I love the daily questions from Casual Observer’s page … they get me thinking and I love seeing everyone’s answers.
A few thoughts I’ve had today …
Today in bio Sally Schizo told me that she only studies for each test for only twenty minutes and makes straight A’s. I then heard her tell the girl beside her that she studies for an hour every day and three hours the night before a test. I thought: You are validating my inherent mistrust of strangers.
While eating my lunch I was nasally assaulted by a fellow classmate. I thought: Nice perfume. Must you marinate in it?
I was supposed to get a Pell Grant refund check two weeks ago and the school screwed it up. Last week they told me that they only cut checks on Fridays, so to check back this coming Friday. All I could think was: Ahhhh. I see the screw-up fairy has visited us again …

After reading Celeste’s blog about her odd cat, I started compiling a list about my kitty, Leo:
Odd Facts About Leo
Absence Of Fear
Jewel
inside my skin there is this space
it twists and turns
it bleeds and aches
inside my heart there’s an empty room
it’s waiting for lightning
it’s waiting for you
and i am wanting
and i am needing you here
inside the absence of fear
muscle and sinew
velvet and stone
this vessel is haunted
it creaks and moans
my bones call to you
in their separate skin
i make myself translucent
to let you in, for
i am wanting
and i am needing you here
inside the absence of fear
there is this hunger
this restlessness inside of me
and it knows that you’re no stranger
you’re my gravity
my hands will adore you through all darkness aim
they will lay you out in moonlight
and reinvent your name
for i am wanting you
and i am needing you here
i need you near
inside the absence of fear
Well, I’ve been slacking off for the past couple of days, so here ya go:
Quote of the Day
There are two things which cannot be attacked in front: ignorance and narrow-mindedness. They can only be shaken by the simple development of the contrary qualities. They will not bear discussion.
John Dalberg Acton (1834 – 1902) English historian
