so, i'm doing some really lame googlestalking/procrastinating (i.e. googling someone who i think *might* be the girlfriend of someone who i'm only vaguely wondering if is single), and, of course coming up with nothing interesting or definitive, i turn to really *really* lame googlestalking/procrastinating, which is, of course, googling oneself. and this is what i found (other than my amazon.com profile, which also kind of weirds me out that it comes up but i'm probably not going to bother to try to change my privacy settings or whatever):
Web page
which links to this:
My graduation?!
which, i guess, is fine. . . but kind of freaked me out for a moment. especially. . . well, what is all the nonsense language about??

things that make you wonder about yourself
1. When you're hungry and you think, "oh, but chicken nuggets are so much trouble to heat up."
2. When you think, "maybe I could get rid of the refrigerator to make space for another bookshelf."
3. When everyone you know tells you they're going to bed at around 12:30 and disappear from the scene, but you find yourself incapable of sleeping until you have shopped on urbanoutfitters.com until 3 am.
I think I need to make myself a new going to bed rule.

Lessons learned too late.
I find this so hilarious that even though I'm totally ripping it off someone else's blog entry (emkettering.blogspot.com--Emily, this just makes me laugh and laugh, I don't know why) I had to put up a link to it.
Abstinence Outlet
Apparently I will be bringing virtually nothing to my future husband: Abstinence Rose Pin.
I should probably also get myself one of these mugs. To quote: "God grant me the patience to pass up the men I may want but should not have" (whoops, have totally failed there) "the courage to meet those I may not want but should get to know" (doesn't that strike you as a little bit sinister? Like, doesn't that suggest that the man you 'should' be with is probably kind of . . . unappealing?) "and the wisdom to know the difference."
Finally, there's the STD puzzle. It cracked me up.
Okay, as a disclaimer, I'm not trying to be *against* abstinence here, I really don't want to offend anyone. It's totally about people own choices, and what am I to say one way or another? People should do what they think is right. And really, there's way too much pressure on people to have sex in our society--I definitely feel like that kind of pressure isn't very healthy. But still, what can I say? This is just too much.

a warning to the men of my program from a highly esteemed literary figure
"La Luc's son, a youth of much promise, was designed by his father for the church, and had received from him an excellent education, which, however, it was thought necessary he should finish at an university. That of Geneva was fixed upon by La Luc. His scheme had been to make his son not a scholar only; he was ambitious that he should also be enviable as a man."

Return to the Blog
Hi Everyone,
I know I haven't updated my blog in ages. . . I guess I had a moment of paranoia about people reading about my life (that pops up occasionally). But I returned the old formatting so my archives can be found again, and I think I'll start trying to post again more often. . . so stop by! Right now, though, I have to stop procrastinating and use the long weekend to do some work.
