up and out

this getting up in the morning thing... it works for me. provided there's been sleep beforehand.

i'm off to lexington to pick some music for my women's ensemble. which meets tonight. ::sigh:: what? no, i don't know anyone who leaves things til the last minute.

but i have to be back by 12 bc our exercise equipment is being delivered. and then ::pow:: just like that, i'm going to be in shape. right?

jennyjennyjennyjennyjenny... why are you so busy this week? i think that's dumb. :) i am needing the help from the you!

i am warm hungry

I'm an apparently intelligent, liberal, disgustingly generous, relatively well adjusted human being!
See how compatible you are with me!

grrrr!!! if one more person calls me well-adjusted, i'm going to... to... to talk to her in a calm and reasonable manner and explain why some people, including myself, might feel confined by such a term and try to come to a place of mutual understanding and respect. yep. but in my head, i'll be thinking fuck you, mothafucka! you don't know shit.

in other news - i just actually read all of skip=240. go me. without a filter even! and i'm here to tell the tale. or not, bc it's not a very exciting tale. mmm.

highlights of this weekend included: yummy food of many varieties - mm mm good, seeing adaptation which - as many of you well know - was brilliant, window shopping, bumping into scottxwl ever so briefly, and much much snuggling. it was happy times.

i'm feeling good about today. i think it's all about getting up in the morning and accomplishing something by noonish. i had a productive trip to the music store and so, even if the afternoon is spent catching up on fic... well, i'll work tonight and... it makes for a pretty good day.

my new favorite quote

from an article in the nation on how europeans see the u.s. (rach read this to me over breakfast at haymarket yesterday - how appropriate).

Will Hutton, a former editor of the Observer, wrote a book portraying the United States as in "the extraordinary grip of Christian fundamentalism"; boasting a "democracy" that is "an offense to democratic ideals," where the "dominant conservatism is very ideological, almost Leninist," and is bolstered by "tenacious endemic racism," with an economy that "rests on an enormous confidence trick," and in which, incidentally, "citizens routinely shoot each other."

"does this even fit in the hole?" "you just gotta hit it harder."

hrm. men (boys?) assembling exercise thingy in the other room seem to be just this side of incompetent. i'm tempted to bust my way in there and get in their way. i'm good at putting things together, right?

i just read 3 pretty ficcies. um, lessee...
fearlessdiva's ToS drabble, voluptas. so sweet and loverly.
holographis's cold, but brighter. pretty and sad, like her h/d tends to be. girl does not hate h/d. she's lying.
zarah5's sadsadsad ever after. broke one of my rules reading this one, but it was worth it, of course.

[edit]: antheia has me pegged as: angrily repressed with a general demeanor of calm with a seeming good nature. oh my, is it that obvious? *g*
