The queen of carrot flowers
It’s like I woke up as someone new today… which is refreshing.
First, I woke up ready to go at nine and just laid around for a little while playing online. I was fiddling around on suicidegirls, no pun intended, and continuing my anarchy debates. they got interesting. it turns out someone on there can actually engage a good discussion about anarchy. awesome. so i replied to that post and talked about what i thinkt he ideal system would look like and why i think some form of competition would develop in the system and then i got all excited about mujeres libres and friended the boy who made the post in the first place. how fun. I really like anarchy. And I like having dialogues with anarchists that are awesome. Woo.
Next, probably exhillirated from my shower in which i got the perfect ammount of water in my hair before I shampooed and managed to work up a healthy lather and then my good anarchy discussion… I cleaned my room up some. Mostly, I just took my clean clothes out of my laundry basket so I could reload it with the dirty ones in piles around my room. This should make tomorrow which I have appointed laundry day much easier!
I decided somewhere during that last part of the adventure that I would go to the gym today. So i packed a SRWC bag. Yay. And I actually went, but that comes later in the day. So I went to lunch with Joey then where I monopolized conversation as is my custom. next time I’ll have to remember to let someone else talk. I’ve been kind of bad about that lately. Mrh. I’ll learn sometime.
After lunch was class which was good except my medicine made me really restless so i spent all of class not being able to sit still or really focus on the lecture. The lecture was really interesting though. We’re learning about the architectural transition from mastabas to step pyramids to proper pyramids. fuckin a. it’s awesome. i get really excited about it because i love pyramids so much. and it’s such interesting technology and really amazing. i realized in class that really it’s not a 7th wonder of the world. it’s pretty obvious how they transitioned. it’s not like there were just suddenly these pyramids in the desert… there was so much trial and error. and it’s so great. my favorite is the fallen pyramid because it’s such a beautiful failure. they’re so cool. i can’t wait to go see them sometime. even if i have to wear muslim lady clothes while i’m there.
After class I went to the gym because I’ve been feeling all insecure and i need to take care of that. And it turns out that sitting around feeling insecure doesn’t actually defeat insecurity. So hopefully the combo of no soda and me exercising will get this extra 15 pounds off and then i’ll be happy. I’m not eating french fries either. Cos seriously. Grease. Ew. And I’m going to try to eat better. And I’m going to get a livejournal where I pretend to be anorexic cos that’s so trendy. That was uncalled for and insensitive. Oh well. I spent like 30 minutes on the bike. Then I walked a lap so that the next time i sat down i didn’t freeze in bike position. Then I did all the arm and leg machines. My legs are much stronger than my arms. This is to be expected I suppose. And I suppose it will start to get better. I just really like being toned. And someday I’ll start doing crunches and hand weights in the house. The thing is… I just exercise much more in the SWRC cos i don’t lose interest.
After the gym, I called Kyle and headed toward Lola’s. I listened to the Thermals who I like more and more each day.. Then I ate a sandwich and read The Elegant Universe for a while. I think I’m going to take up Bearman’s advice and try to read more. He says that if you’re not reading 2000 pages a weeke you’re not even trying to learn. I think I agree. At the very least I agree that most of the activities I regularly engage in are just rotting my brain. I’m also so excited to be readinga bout science which I don’t know that much about. I know two things about string theory. One, Everything is everything and also this one that I invented It’s all circular. This is because I was listing things that were everything and was like “Yo yos are dogs are toys are yoyos dammit. it’s all so circular.” So that’s the third rule. How exciting! I’m really liking this science class. There’s a sweet quotation in the preface of this book too. I’ll have to pull it out. Gimme a second….
When science is widely seen as an integral part of what makes us human, our own connection to the cosmos will be sginficantly strengthened; truly, sceince is the thread that weaves us all into the fabric of reality. – Brian Greene.
Oh yah. Now I have to start doing homework. I’ve wasted too much time on the daytoday lolligagging of the blog world as it is!
