    I know you liked the other layout, Emma, but I had to use the photo. It's from an awesome website, www.picturesofwalls.com .

    I know I don't really update this thing, and practically no one checks it, but I felt the need to at least give warning as to why it looked different.

    Right now, I know I'm avoiding accountability. I don't want to be the one responsible if I fail this year, and I'm always worried that what I have will never be enough. I like having the escape hatch, the back door out of guilt and into blame. I've never liked being at fault. It's cowardly, I know, but there's only so much I can bear at a time. Even the littlest thing can be too much, sometimes.

    I've spent the past three or four days reading Kushiel's Dart like one possessed. I could barely put it down to sleep or to work on what needs to be done. I truly loved the book, despite the irritation of an end designed to lead into another book. I can safely say I didn't see coming the events towards the middle of the book, though Jocelin's fate I saw quite clearly from his introduction onwards. I mourned Hyacinthe truly. The book left me not quite happy but fully entranced. I have no doubts that I will love the rest of the series, but I dare not start the sequel before my nearest deadlines have passed.

  • Well, I decided you all deserved a tiny update, even if I don't feel like a big one. This week is spring break, and I'm currently doing nothing. Well, nothing of importance, anyway.

    And, for your entertainment pleasure, I give you this:

    Your Eyes Should Be Hazel
    Your eyes reflect: Intellect and sensuality

    What's hidden behind your eyes: Subtle manipulation

  • Well, I saw this on Josh's, so I took it too. I actually had to take it twice because I went back and lost my results. I'm very non-political, and see where it got me?

    Your political compass

    Economic Left/Right: -5.63
    Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -4.82

    Authoritarian
    Left























    Right
    Libertarian

    I'm smack in between Nelson Mandela and the Dalai Lama, and just a bit less authoritarian than Ghandi. Sounds right, yes? I think that makes me a liberal libertarian... :shakes head to clear confusion: I'm not really religious in the common sense of the word although I am a moral person. I support protection of the environment and higher taxes on the wealthy, but I also support public education (especially if they improve it..) and pro-life legislature.

    What really makes me laugh is that I had such a close result to what Josh got....

    Now I'm going to watch them make the final initial cut on American Idol. Wish my favorites luck! Then comes Bones, and homework somewhere in there. Oy, the toil of highschool instruction never ends...
