| from nadnuk : |
| thanks! I've always thought up designs, but I've only just started constructing my own things this past year. It's so addicting. |
| from arvianna : |
| big big big huggles on your wedding weekend! |
| from nadnuk : |
| isn't that fun!? I liked your list, even the ones that didn't quite fit were so you! |
| from arvianna : |
| glad to hear that part of nm is getting some precipitation, finally. it was a dry winter and the fire season started especially early this year. |
| from nadnuk : |
| one day at a time is always helpful to me. You will be able to manage, and most likely fly...and having a job usually helps to focus energies. You'll do just fine. |
| from arvianna : |
| awesome job on the linguistics there |
| from nadnuk : |
| directionless happens to us all, but I have confidence that your path will become evermore clearer to you (if that's even a phrase). You have a great mind, and a great heart, and the bridges will be there still if you want to return to something, they might need some extra construction, but the links are never truly severed. Let me know if you ever need to talk about it. |
| from emmenthal : |
| have you gone to see 'an inconvienent truth' yet? i saw it this weekend... on the whole, i'd say its pretty good, definitely gave me the chills in a few spots... |
| from arvianna : |
| ::sends love:: |
| from ladiebug : |
| some unfortunate things happened... if you give me an email address, i'll forward the password. hope you're well, a |
| from nadnuk : |
| I'm so proud of you! And very glad that you will be pursuing something that you feel passion for. because what is life without passion? gosh, I almost feel that strong desire to throw everything out the window and run to New Mexico with the rest of you to pursue my dreams... |
| from arvianna : |
| yay for shelece and new mexico! |
| from arvianna : |
| ahh, but you are SO strong enough ::hugs again:: |
| from arvianna : |
| ::huggles:: i'm scared too, mostly because i only applied to one school. wish you were nearby so we could go through this together. |
| from nadnuk : |
| woohoo! congrats on the acceptances, especially the one to your top choice! |
| from arvianna : |
| thanks, that new link worked. |
| from arvianna : |
| argh. yours is the second blog i read that linked to that brad pitt thing, and i can't view it because the diocese of gallup has it blocked under the gporn rule. so frustrating. |
| from nadnuk : |
| I sent you an email, there's something I'd like to send you. |
| from nadnuk : |
| I feel you...completely. Things WILL work out. I'm talking with Mitch Wayne on Monday to check in and see how things are back in the midwest and see if he might have leads for the south, where I'd like to stay, but it's getting oh-so-impossible. You might be able to work for the Russian Dept. at ND... (that's where you are, right? If not, then whichever uni y'all are near might need help) Thing will work out...you're brilliant, they have to. |
| from arvianna : |
| congratulations on the gre! and wow, you did way better on the quantitative than i did. |
| from arvianna : |
| re: sandra day o'connor my thoughts exactly. you must have read my mind. it was sposed to be Rehnquist that retired. why couldnt it be Rehnquist???? at least then W would replace conservative with conservative. |
| from ladiebug : |
| okay, never mind about the last note, it's unlocked... oh, fickleness... |
| from ladiebug : |
| please send email address: [email protected] with love, l.bug |
| from nadnuk : |
| have faith in yourself...you have so much ability...and if all else fails...you could work as an archivist of russian literature...I'm sure there's some such position available at ND...you have no idea how much I actually want to be back there. somewhere where I know the professors will understand me and help me out rather than simply telling me that I'm crazy or unreliable... |
| from nadnuk : |
| sorry, had to lock the diary since my roommate was talking to her friends about blogs...mentioned mine, and T's girlfriend was there...so username and password are 'guest' |
| from nadnuk : |
| wow, I want to take your class! BUt don't forget about american urban life as well. |
| from nadnuk : |
| oh, and I totally agree about Spike. Something about him is just way too sexy. |
| from nadnuk : |
| yeah...hot chocolate...I die for a bit to ghirardeli (sp?) sweetened cocoa with milk and a slight dash of pepper. It's nice, not too rich, and it makes a lot of hot chocolate. However, tea might be a better solution for me...I think that chocolate combined with emotional instability turns out badly for me. It's the first day back in the office after the weekend. I haven't been able to make eye contact yet. |
| from arvianna : |
| Why couldn't I have been an easily-frightened adolescent and a fearless adult? when i see the same kind of changes in myself, i prefer to see it as insensitive snot of an adolescent vs sensitive, mature adult. |
| from arvianna : |
| you wanna come teach my class a little bit of russian for a week? |
| from maigera : |
| ooh! new kitten! I humbly offer names: Jarlath and Ethelburga. |
| from maigera : |
| I haven't updated in ages, nor been to d*land, but I read your entry of 6-30, after crying from the exhaustion of an IM conversation with my mother. *hug* |
| from nadnuk : |
| Oh to be back in NM again...I remember that sky, that gorgeous unending sky... |
| from nadnuk : |
| perhaps homoscripts? And I always thought that row(opp. of columns) was pronounced the same way as row(argument)...oh well, I'm not the most savvy in the ways of grammar and pronunciation. |
| from arvianna : |
| so true, so true. |
| from nadnuk : |
| I totally understand the Buffy thing. I got hooked over the summer because it was always on reruns right after I got off of work. And if you ever feel like doing a social antisocial activity, I'll watch Buffy with you. |
| from tinawolff : |
| belated congrats on the engagement buddy! |
| from nadnuk : |
| congratulations! I'm so happy for you! So many good things are happening lately, it's great! |
| from maigera : |
| congratufimications! *excited, happy eep* |
| from arvianna : |
| wooohoooooooo!!!!!!!! |
| from tinawolff : |
| i just love that couch entry. pure poetry. |
| from arvianna : |
| funny, "hear, hear!" was just what i thought when i was reading your entry. on with the cliches to "great minds think alike!" |
| from nadnuk : |
| you wouldn't have developed into the person we know had you not gone through all of those transitions. Sometimes, we're not as cute, challenging, or insightful as we had hoped to be, but we would never be who we presently are had we not gone through those phases. |
| from maigera : |
| http://www.terencanada.com/software.asp has cyrillic keycap labels you can buy as cheaply as $8 - maybe one of them would work for your keyboard. |
| from maigera : |
| *hug* rahrahrah you! |
| from maigera : |
| Plastic bags: Martin's has good ones which are sturdier and larger than usual. Wearing the same clothing days in a row: I think I've worn two shirts and one pair of pants all week. Russia: Write more! |
| from arvianna : |
| heehee.... you're gonna bleed vodka by the time you get home. miss you! |
| from nadnuk : |
| aren't your fingers and toes the meta-carpels/tarsels and the bones that are in the hand/foot part the carpels/tarsels? in which case we cross our metacarpels all the time...but the carpels would just be difficult considering that skin is in the way. Regardless...blisters stink. They probably don't have moleskin over there, do they? That's what I'd always use when I got blisters in HS from running cross-country, it keeps from any more abrasion on the spots to which you apply it. PS. good luck on finals, I'm sure you'll do well! |
| from maigera : |
| err... crossing metacarpals would be painful. How about phalanges. |
| from maigera : |
| Tarsals - t for toe. I'm crossing my carpals and metacarpals for you and your finals. |
| from nadnuk : |
| I think that that comes with the territory of being in a new culture and a new language, I went through a period where I couldn't write in my journal while I was in France, but after a while, it passes, and thoughts become more normal once your mind is really used to being there. |
| from maigera : |
| yay! you're alive! *hug* |
| from nadnuk : |
| ok, so due to this whole not being able to update my entries, I've taken to writing them in my notes page...odd, but it works. |
| from nadnuk : |
| hey, I sent you an email of a bajillion things to do in Vienna from our favorite Viennese post-doc. |
| from maigera : |
| I'm ND-bound for the fall! |
| from maigera : |
| I used to write alphabets over and over and over, just trying to come up with a coherent style, even though there were simply some letters, like "z" that just didn't seem to fit with anything. I tried to copy my older sister's handwriting (and still do) - it's all artsy-jazzy. |
| from maigera : |
| yay for Enchantment! the boy turned me on to that one. :) *hug* |
| from maigera : |
| I think you're wonderful. That's also why Arun likes you so much. No arguments. Just accept that you're lovely, please. |
| from cheddar : |
| oh, you should! you definitely should! that would be so cool to have a major in russian! |
| from maigera : |
| *hug* Be good to the Shelece. |
| from arvianna : |
| i loved your cat and mouse analogy. it was wonderful. much empathy to you. |
| from nadnuk : |
| hey, congratulations on all of that! I know that you've got to be excited about Russia, you definitely deserve that grant more than anyone I know, you are a truly gifted and talented woman. |
| from maigera : |
| Hold on tight! The weekend will come and save you! I'm sending happy bluebonnets-in-the-gloaming thoughts your way to help you through Friday. |
| from cheddar : |
| Ideally philosophy and science should work together.... too bad it doesn't always work that way. i've heard a lot of philosophy people misquote physics, especially in the realm of quantum. but really, a lot of philo is an attempt to make sense of science, or to provide an ethical foundation for its use, not to demean it... of course, thats only the philosophy of science part.... the rest is... odd. =) |
| from maigera : |
| I'm doing the you-can-do-this-rah-rah-rah dance for you all day today! |
| from maigera : |
| *hug* Lovely you. |
| from arvianna : |
| did you catch bowling for columbine? let me know what you thought if you did. I swear I'll respond to your emails when I get back from Italy, really. |
| from arvianna : |
| i miiiissssssss you! |
| from tinawolff : |
| just dropping a note to say that your poem was awesome. |
| from maigera : |
| I do that to myself, and my sister has nagged me about it, too. The boy doesn't seem to mind that my legs are furry. After all, *he* doesn't shave his legs, either. Plus, it's warmer in the winter. (Okay, I'm stretching on that one, since we don't actually have that much "winter" in Texas.) I mean, poor Arun for every way you are different from the Norm. But ... isn't that why he isn't dating someone else? Silly fambly. |
| from maigera : |
| you so lovely. (sometimes I think you need a reminder) |
| from maigera : |
| You're almost there, o kitten-owned one! *cheer* |
| from maigera : |
| I thought I would provide you with a completely accurate, personalized horoscope. You are wonderful. All your subjects, popular and scholastic, will live up to their name, and you shall reign over them. Arun shall return. You have a kitten. The hardest week of the semester will soon be your most recent triumph. You are becoming more of who you are, and learning things which make your brain more alive. Yay you! |
| from maigera : |
| Hang in there with the midterms! Your kitten sounds wonderful. The dress-up reminded me of last fall when Kimba and Caitlin and I had just finished watching The Princess Bride. Somebody got the idea we should act it out, which worked pretty well as we swapped roles. Stephen didn't get to be the princess for very long because none of us girls could carry him - even though he did an otherwise good job. |
| from tinawolff : |
| wow, i think its crazy that i "know" people from ND without even knowing them face to face. anyway, thanks so much for that note you gave me. i did some research on sleep paralysis a while back, but i wasn't sure if that's what i had. i don't remember coming across one article that talked about the freaky whisperings, but thank god you cleared it up for me. i now know i'm not insane. you guys have helped me out so much and i can't say thanks enough. feel free to read my wacko jacko life anytime you want. mind if i read yours? |
| from maigera : |
| I think you're wonderful. |
| from maigera : |
| *hug* But you'll see Arun soon! |
| from kummov : |
| You don't know me but I've been reading you for a while (hope you don't mind). I hope you don't have another horrible day. I don't think I'd be able to handle living with eight people, especially eeevil inconsiderate ones. Wish I could send you more cookie dough. |
| from maigera : |
| Well said, well said! |
| from maigera : |
| Thanks for the encouragement - it helps a whole lot. I hope things get better for you. |
| from maigera : |
| Nonsense. My sister took her computer with her to Dallas for a few days, and I couldn't get to the library to get online. I knew the Boy would worry - I didn't want him to, but there wasn't anything to do about it. He did worry that I was okay, but he's fine, and it was nice to be worried over. Just know that Arun is especially good at taking care of himself, and that you'd be sure to be contacted by someone if anything's wrong, or even that he's missing. What I try to do is think that the Boy will be having too much fun to be able to contact me - it doesn't always work, but it's something else to do besides worry, and it's also usually closer to the truth. Keep well. |
| from maigera : |
| ouch! I wish I knew what to say. My parents are awfully like that as well - so I just let them assume that I'm still Catholic, even though I haven't a clue what label to associate myself with, if any. The only guy I've dated who was "Catholic" was the least thoughtful person I know. My rector at Notre Dame, two years ago, was the first person to open my eyes to the fact that I don't have to be a part of my parents' religion - as well as the fact that that's not the only way to do Catholicism - which is still taking time to settle. I wish you well. |
| from maigera : |
| Hiya - you caught me. I found you and worried on my 020501.html page. I'd be honored if you found me at all interesting enough to read. I found your log at ND and read some of it before I realized that I knew who you were. Do you mind if I read your journal, too? |
