Yes, the irony of today's quote fills my heart with happiness--shallow happiness, but happiness nonetheless.
I fully intended my next post (this one) to be serious and full of Thoughtful Discussion, but I'm really too tired to slog through it. For the last three days I've had the "Create Post" box open in a tab with a much more serious quote as the title. I knew what I wanted to put there, but writing it out was always one more task away and now it's four or five tasks away and I'm giving up. When I'm actually inspired to write those thoughts out it won't be so easily procrastinated.
Instead of Discussionful Thought, I shall provide you with randomly meaningless news. Of course, when one tries to think of a topic for energyless conversation, the first one that springs to mind is
The Weather. It is raining cats and dogs, and by 'rain' I don't mean the Almost-April Showers that sorta bring May Flowers. This stuff is cold (bliss! yes, I am going to take a walk later today...). I'm surprised we haven't had any ice here yet, though I know relatively nearby cities have some. Last night they promised a 100% chance of snow but it's still just...wet. My disappointment is immense (spoken without any sarcasm. seriously.). [Edit: IT IS SNOWING! Bop-bop-BWEE!]
The next thing one does is chatter aimlessly on about is
The Family. My "roomie" is still in bed. At 10:19 am. I tried to make her get up by telling her that it was really Monday instead of Saturday, but she didn't buy it. Meanwhile, my oldest-younger brother brought home a card from his prayer partner at school. When you open it, it plays a pseudo-bluegrass/techno/DisneyRobinHoodTheme tune by The Chipmunks. The wretched thing has been going off since I got home around 7:40 this morning. It is scheduled to mysteriously and spontaneously (oh, so mysteriously spontaneous) combust later this afternoon, although each time it plays the tune it loses approximately twenty minutes of its life. Later today my father returns home from an Abbey. He almost converted to Catholicism, but we got in a phone call just in time and convinced him not to (I had to read through Romans seventeen times, however, hence my sore throat). Actually, he's on a business trip to Mexico and stayed in an ancient church, but I was trying to make the mindless chatter about family more interesting.
The Education. This being a good humanist blog and all, we shall spend the most time talking about this.
Haha.
Heh.
Heh.
Hee.
Ahem.
No.
But I did take a chem test last week for which the class average was 34.4%. I don't know my score, but I'm thinking (hoping...no, actually, praying) it's at least slightly higher... The crazy thing is, I'm pretty sure this is routine for this professor and he refuses to curve. I don't get it. Does he like watching 90% of his students fail chemistry? Ack. And he hasn't responded to an email I sent him Thursday with a specific question concerning class material, which is making me itch and twitch just a wee bit. Professors aren't supposed to be Anti-Student-Learning. Gahhh.
Yeah, so the real reason I'm going to stop talking about school is because chemistry makes me want to tear my hair out. And I like my hair. *preens* So I might actually be a humanist. You never know.
The Religion. Oh, wait. That's what you don't talk about, because mindless chatter implies a lack of any valid importance. Sorry.
The Wardrobe. Today I am styling a sort of... at homish look? (that's at home-ish, not hawmish, as in a hick-pronunciation of Amish)... okay, so I'd never make it as a Fashion Designer. Moving onwards...
Things Lacking Category Which Now Have The Category "Lacking Category" Which Now Is Irrelevant And Misleading And No Longer Applies So They Lack Category Which Again Puts Them Under "Lacking Category" Which Is Irrele-- What?
You grabbed me at "Discussionful Thought," had me lol at "Bop-bop-BWEE!" and didn't lose me until several minutes after "Irrela--what?" :) :) :) - m
ps. the validation code I am requested to use to post this note is, "muckca," and I challenge you to use it in your next post.
Haha, thanks to the wonderful post. That last paragraph should be added to our contemporary poetry blog. It's about as insightful as some of the other stuff up there....
Bwah, I just realized that last comment sounds really nasty and sarcastic. It's meant as a funny compliment.... Augh.
It wasn't meant to be insightful; it was meant to be circular and stupid, therefore your last comment was a funny compliment. No need for worry, dear. :)
haha...your poor roomie. be nice on saturday mornings! I was so excited when andrew didn't come over to our house last saturday until like 11 that morning. yay for sleeping in! (he usually wakes us up when he comes over).
oh, btw...apparently ruth is only kind of friends with eric?! it makes me laugh. :)
