This is just wrong on so many levels:

Go and boss around the chicken, kids. Just don’t come crying to me when you have to go into therapy because of it.

Monday randomness.

April 26, 2004 | 3 Comments

My body is feeling a little better now; at least I don?t feel like I?ve been hit by a truck anymore. Now it only hurts if I take the stairs or try to carry something too heavy, like The Bookbag From Hell. (I have this book bag that is so weighty it would cause my chiropractor to go into convulsions and/or slap me silly if he saw me carrying it. I just left the damn thing home today.) So, I am surmising that in Weird Virus Land, less pain means I must be on the way to recovery. Let?s hope that?s how it works anyway.

It was actually a pretty nice day here despite the little aches and pains. The sun is shining and the whole campus was buzzing with excitement because it?s the last week of regular classes. Many of the other teachers seem just as relieved as I am that the semester is almost over, so I don?t feel like such a slug anymore. It must be normal. Everybody just wants out; it?s like we?re escaping from Alcatraz or something.

An online quizzie seen in random places? and now here.

My name is: Christine, but close friends call me Chris

I may seem: unapproachable

but I: am really just a big, lovable puffball of sweetness. Like cotton candy or something. Honestly.

People who know me think I: am sensitive.

If you knew me you’d probably: smile to yourself and wonder how you got so lucky.
Sometimes I feel: squirrelly.

My days are pretty: jam-packed!

In the morning I: invite the cats onto the bed for Good Morning purrs and cuddles.

In school I: was a straight A student, class-clown, and the teacher?s pet. Yes, a giggling, smartass nerd. Some things we never grow out of.

I like to sleep: curled up under my flannel quilt while hugging a pillow.

If I could be doing anything right now I would: be flying like a bird.

Money is: not everything, but the lack of it is.

One thing I wish I had is: complete health.

One thing I have that I wish I didn’t is: these !@#$% allergies.

All you need is: hope

All I need is: courage

If I had one wish it would be: to make enough money selling my artwork to live comfortably.

When I look in the mirror I see: a woman who has come a long way in a short span of time.

Love is: the only thing that matters when all is said and done.

My body is: temporary.

If an angel flew into my window at night I would: try to hold his hand. I imagine it would feel like electricity ? or soft animal fur? or the perfect pool of water ? or the vibrations of music ? or the color pink?

If a demon flew into my window I would: tell him that he?s at the wrong house ? he must be looking for the people next door.

If I could see one person right now it would be: The Count.

Something I want but I don’t really need is: to be accepted by people I respect and admire.

Something I need but I don’t really want is: an accountant to balance my checkbook.

I live for: the next bit of truth? unless it?s about my checkbook.

I dare you to: look in the mirror and say I love you.

I am afraid of: depression.

It makes me angry when: people in front of me drive too fucking slow and swivel their heads around looking at God-knows-what when I have to be somewhere, dammit! Step on the gas or get the hell out of my way.

I dream about: meeting myself. Have I mentioned this one? Gawd. I had this dream where I am standing on a corner, hailing a cab. The cab pulls over and I get in the back seat. I look at the driver ? it?s me. I look at the person in the passenger side front seat ? it?s me. The person sitting next to me in the back seat? Me, of course. The next person the cab stops to pick up? Me again. A bunch of Me-s loading in a car, rolling down the street.

The strangest part is that I take out a small mirror from the bag I am carrying and look into it. The reflection looking back doesn?t resemble me in the slightest.

Bizarre.

What fresh Hell is this?

April 24, 2004 | 3 Comments

I think I?m coming down with something. Every muscle in my body feels tender and achy, and I fluctuate between being unable to sleep because of the soreness, and practically going into a coma from the fatigue. It?s probably just a final kick-the-professor-in-the-ass virus picked up from the classroom.

Academic bio-terrorism: When a group of nose picking, coughing, germ-laden students all get together and proof-read each others papers before submitting them at the end of the semester.

Ha! Of course, I?m being silly. That is ridiculous and could never happen.

Because we all know 99.9% of college students never proof read their papers.

I?ll probably post more later today. A tsunami (not a mere wave, mind you) of fatigue just hit again. ~ ~ ~

Purple, orchid, violet, lilac.

you are medium orchid
#BA55D3

Your dominant hues are red and blue. You’re confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be.

Your saturation level is medium – You’re not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it’s required of you. You probably don’t think the world can change for you and don’t want to spend too much effort trying to force it.

Your outlook on life is brighter than most people’s. You like the idea of influencing things for the better and find hope in situations where others might give up. You’re not exactly a bouncy sunshine but things in your world generally look up.

That?s actually pretty accurate! What really blows my mind is that I have nearly the exact same color programmed into both of my computers as the main display?s accent color.

I knew a very cool professor at ND who read people?s auras. (Yeah, you can about imagine how long they allowed her to teach there. Tenure denied, you New Age hippie freak.) Anyway, she told me that my aura was a rich violet color, almost like dark lilacs, and it shone most intensely on my forehead and between my eyes. At first I wasn?t sure what to make of that, but then she also told me that my right shoulder was radiating an orange-red hue, as if it was causing me pain. I was stunned. There was no way she could have known that I had just spent the entire night before working in my studio on several paintings and my arm felt like it was ready to fall off.

So maybe there is something to the aura thing. I haven?t been able to see one yet, but I bet if I really tried, I could. Ok, and if I ate some of those special mushrooms that would probably help, too.
