Ah, ambivalent state pride.
Except I was not content with a single braid. Oh no. I French-braided both hemispheres of my own head.
I had not realised my hair was getting quite this long. When I looked in the mirror, I had the urge to go around today introducing myself to random strangers. Not as Ree -- as "Skaldis, shieldmaiden of Midgaard!"
Ah, ambivalent state pride.

polyhedron quiz
March 7, 2005, 07:04 PM by
Had family around for the weekend. Learned more than I ever cared about the Spongebob Squarepants: The Movie video game, which is at least five syllables too long for a video game title. (But then, my choices are Tetris and Joust.) I polished my mother's bannisters for company. And the piano, china hutch, buffet, dinner table, antique desk, end tables, cabinets, and anything wooden within reach. Damn my height and attendant reach!
I never want to hold a polishing cloth again.
Weird to think I only have two living grandparents now. Two months ago I had three. It had been that way since I was four. Now I have two. No more specifying which grandpa, because there's only the one left, and only one grandma too.
Bah. Grief is blue-grey and aches. I want some perky pink fun.
...that is not what I meant. It may well be my desire, but that was not the way I meant to say anything.
From angsty to horndog in ten seconds: GO!
I feel blissfully random today. Odd, given the day's reading of orderly roleplay archives. One would assume random thought-jumping would accompany a multitasking day, not a day of reading a page, doing a chore, reading the next sequential page, doing the next sequential chore...
But then I do favour oddity in general.
Too many words, not enough sense. Wish me better luck for tomorrow. If I'm not coherent, at least I'm content.
spirit of emotion quiz
March 8, 2005, 02:47 PM by

You are the Spirit of Innocence. Always with the
sweet smile of a child, you know how to have
good clean fun, you have a natural vunerability
about you, which makes you able to make friends
very well, as they are drawn instinctively by
the urge to protect you. But even though you
look as fragile as a child inside you are very
strong with your easy look on life. When you
get a partner (because there is no way you
cant!) your life will be perfect.
Which stunning spirit of emotion are you? NEW AND IMPROVED! (amazingly beautiful anime pics!)

why I roleplay
March 10, 2005, 12:05 PM by
I'd chuckled at some webcomics today, nothing hilarious. I wanted to giggle. I have stress to vent and if it's laugh or cry then I damn sure want to laugh.
I just checked the boards. Holy flipping shnikes. "Whoa" indeed. (Say it like Keanu; you know you wanna!)
That's why I roleplay. Because it makes me giggle (loudly, like the twit I am) and keeps me sane.
Thanks, Mommybear.

I know I need to work on that in my own writing. I have an awful habit of doing this:
"Dialogue." Action, "dialogue."
Notice something wrong? I never attributed the speech to a character. D'oh! This sort of thing makes me cringe at roleplay archives and stew at myself, thinking I have no business permitting myself to type my own name. It's bad enough when I do it solo, but get five people roleplaying together who all have fear of "said" and it gets messy very quickly. Reading the poster ID helps, but some archives lack this and then my brain starts to cry because I can't even remember if that was my character talking or not.
That's more than I meant to say. Oh dear. But I said it.
So saith Ree!
course weirdness
March 14, 2005, 03:02 AM by
I'm totalling up my course plans for the summer. I take classes through a consortium, so when I find classes I want to take, I have to make sure the consortium offers them for my desired semester, that the credits are accepted at my college, and that the credits will transfer into my desired university.
Everything tranfers. I found a full course load I want and it all transfers 100% smoothly. I can even get uni-required classwork out of the way pre-uni. (That sounds funny: pre-uni. Hehehehe.) It's like it's freaking Meant To Be or something.
Well. I can handle that. It's just that last summer, I had to quest to find classes that would work for me. Now, with a slightly different plan in mind, everything just clicks.
It's weird. It's good but it's weird!

It lives! Sweeeeet. It doesn't crosspost, which is good -- it shouldn't unless told it via checkbox or something. Possibly that will come later. This will make it so much easier to edit entries. *does the Meposian dance of joy*
Hey! I have my w.bloggar spellcheck now! This is great. Of course I just tried to use it on this entry and got caught in a wave of my silly Reeish lingo, but the point is that next time I misspell or mistype "caffeine" maybe I can spellcheck and it will catch it.

| P... Phosphorous You scored 35 Mass, 42 Electronegativity, 24 Metal, and 70 Radioactivity! |
| You're high energy... really high. Unfortunately, you don't always put your energy to calm constructive use and sometimes let it all out in intense bursts. If your energy can be harnessed however, you will produce truly great things. I suggest you take up a job that runs you ragged... like opening and closing a Sodium-Potassium pump. Socially you ought to hang with a crowd that is even more social than you. If you don't, well... all those people who spontaneously combusted throughout history... you guessed it, phosphorous people who didn't have enough to occupy themselves. When picking friends make sure most of them rated high on the electronegativity scale... Chlorines, Oxygens and whatnot. |

| The shy Selkies are marine creatures in the shape of a seal. They can be found near the islands of Orkney and Shetland. A female can shed her skin and come ashore as a beautiful woman. When a man finds the skin, he can force the Selkie to be a good, if somewhat sad, wife. Should she ever recover the skin, she will immediately return to sea, leaving her husband behind. The male Selkies are responsible for storms and also for the sinking of ships, which is their way of avenging the hunting of seals. |

1. Sin had called saying he had some of my stuff and I needed to get it because he's moving. I couldn't imagine what, but I went anyway.
Result: No cars there, building locked, no lights on.
2. I heard a rumour the day before that only the best music and video game shop ever was closing. Went to check for myself.
Result: Sign said closed for good, building was empty.
3. My mom wanted me to grab the good root beer while I was in town, since we can only buy in there or further away from home.
Result: The store had no good root beer.
So I'm going to go play Zelda II now, because that's the one thing in my life that actually went right yesterday.
aches and pains
March 25, 2005, 10:44 AM by
For the last week I've been experiencing hard pains and aches at seemingly random points in my body. I first noticed it in my calves, so I stopped wearing my new shoes and tried changing my sleeping position. Instead of going away, the pains just popped up in other places: shoulder, low back, and an extremely painful attempt to separate my index and middle fingers than brought tears of pain.
Today I was going through my usual stint of online news reading and I caught a throwaway comment. You know my damn neck gland? My thyroid condition? Okay, now guess what symptom I found hidden in the list.
Yup. "Pains, aches in joints, hands and feet."
KILL STAB DIE DIIIIIIIIE.
