This is starting to scare me. I took a nap today like I usually do, but it was like when I half-dreamt about Tullia. This time, though, I was actually pondering a deep philosophical question in my tangle of half-sleep and getting really distressed over it. Now that I'm awake now I don't remember what the question was nor why it was bothering me so much. It's like a vague empty shadow of a memory and the only thing it left behind was a small headache from thinking so much.

 
So I was at Howard Dean's blogger right? They had this little money meter on the side with this caption: "Dean Nation has raised almost $25,000 for Dean - but that isn't enough. We must do more!"

Somewhere in the back of my mind the chant from one of Judy Bloom's books sings itself out like a mantra: We must! We must! We must increase our bust!

Random thought of the day.

I almost forgot...I kept running into people I barely knew today. As I was walking out of the computer lab, I passed by Joe from the Classics Club coming in. He's so hot! Oh well. And then I saw Jana and that other girl from the club (sorry I can't remember her name). Then as I was walking out to the car I passed by that girl from the Dems club (sorry can't remember her name either heh).

I'm going to go the Philosophy club meeting on Wednesday. I wish I could go to their luncheon afterwards! This is the first time I've ever wanted to skip my mythology class. I won't of course; I like the course too much and plus Mr. Chaisson covers like an entire chapter and then some in one class (yeesh).

Went on a library tour today. Still confusing to me. Kinda disappointed because they didn't hardly explain anything.

Government paper due on Friday. Still debating on whether or not to do it.

 
sorry I posted this is the wrong place.

I have the new switchfoot song stuck in my head. Man, I love it! (note to self: go out and but it as soon as possible).

I had a dream about Tullia a few weeks ago. Can't remember if I was reading abot her or just thinking about her before I slept. I wouldn't exactly call it sleep either. It was like sleep and half-sleep all blended together (that doesn't sound very good). But the main thing was it hurt. The most painful dream/state I've ever had - emotionally ad physically. I had such strong feelings of pain and feeling for her that it seared my chest deeply and held me like that for awhile. I've noticed I've been having mre and more dreams lately where I actually feel a strong emotion. Odd.

Sorry if there are any spelling errors; I'm working in one of my school's computer labs and it really sucks. The keys on the keyboard you have to press down hard on and the mousepads suck ascii. It's funny to see people around me trying to steer their mouse on these things. On a more positive note though I've noticed that they come equipped qith a crapload of stuff. Some of the things on my taskbar are: Adobe Reader 6.0, Adobe Illustrator 10.0, Adobe ImageReady 7.0, Adobe Photoshop 7.0 (!), iMovie, iPhoto, iTunes, Director MX, DreamweaverMX, both IE and Netscape, Quicktime Player, RealOne Player, Windows Media Player...the list goes on and on. Wish I knew how to operate half this stuff. But that's the fun of it, I guess.

I wrote a snippet about Porcia for Diana. It didn't turn out so well though since D doesn't know anything about Porcia and I had to put in alot of explanatory things in it. I told her about all the people who committed suicide/was murdered though and she perked up. I think I'm finally getting through to her. Next week I'll write another snippet for her.
