well, this will be my 2nd post, and will probably be nice and dark and gloomy as a contrast to my 1st which was sent in a spirit of hyperactive cheer on christmas day. i dislike january. it's freezing, full of back-to-school woes, empty of money, and so far has brought me nothing but a nasty cold which i used as an excuse to sleep through french class today. So it's been a disjointed day: up at 8:30 for theatre history, which i dozed through, met my friend for lunch at 11:30, then back home where i slept in turns and in the turns where i didn't sleep i muddled my way through most of "The Ecstasy of Rita Joe" which is the dullest play ever written and only on our curriculum in the interests of political correctness as it deals with residential schools. Personally i think if we are trying to deal with squeamish (in certain parts) concepts, there are plenty of better plays, like "Unidentified Human Remains and the True Nature of Love" which i happen to think everyone should read, it is a grate play. But enough of my whining. I bought several new and unaffordable cds the other day: Modest Mouse - 'The Moon and Antarctica', Bettie Serveert - 'lamprey' (which turned out to be a promo-only copy which gave me a little glow to feel i had got something rare and unique, also Salako - 'Musicality' (that one was for xmas) and The Acid House Soundtrack, a movie that looks wonderful but i still haven't seen as i have no vcr and my friends who do weren't particularly impressed with my movie choices last time. And I'm back to whining. Really. Let's see if i can get through the rest of this post without doing it again. Well!! I must say, i was rather shocked to find out about isobel and stuart. JenOWL's "Jem to her Scout" analogy is so perfect. And i was sooo comfortable with the to kill a mockingbirdish state he seemed to be in. Ah well. Things are never as they seem.... for instance i always seem to get taken as the "cute and innocent" type. I'm not sure why. I wish i were dark and skinny and looked good with piercings... but not in this life. So i will just take comfort in the great amount of fun to be had in disabusing people of their notion of me as sweet and quiet and naive... well, the quiet part may be true... but only when i'm sober, which has been much too often this month. Oh god. more complaints. This post will end here. And remember, i DID warn at the start that it would likely be dark and gloomy. I forgot to mention interminably long, didn't i? It's the fault of the weather. "Talking is just masturbating without the mess." -Our Lady Peace and how true that is.
