I took Stalin to school again today. As she sat down, I softly warned the girl who sits next to me in Modern Political Theory, “Ellen, don’t scream. I have my mouse with me.” She laughed. Later on she asked me to come over and show off my pet to this kid she had with her in the snack shop. Stalin is a pretty popular article. I showed my new Zippo off to everyone I talked to. That would invariably spark a, “I didn’t know you smoked.” “I don’t.” “Well, why do you have a lighter?” “Because I asked for…
Well, I showed the letter from the Pew Younger Scholars thingy to Dr. Schaefer today. He got mad. It was funny. Anyway, when I got home, Ben gave me a message to call mom on the cell phone. She said that the Pew Younger people had called saying that their list had Mobile College listed as an eligible college but not the Unversity of Mobile. Schaefer had evidently called them to let them know that Mobile College is now UM. So I was still eligible, but they needed my two letters of recommendation. I called Schaefer on the phone this…
I’ve been extraordinarily happy today. Cheerful, even. It could be the chilling Edgar Allen Poe story I was listening to on tape on the way to school this morning. Somehow listening to something so demented, so depressing, so devilish puts me in a good mood. Or it could be that it was a gorgeous day. Or that my birthday is tomorrow, and I’m excited.

Dementia. Okay. Whatever. As some of you may know, my family has added an addition onto our house. Since it branched off of the kitchen area, we decided to enlarge the kitchen and redecorate it while we were at it. I say “we,” but I have very little to do with the actual decision making process. I just live here. And I didn’t really do any real work involved in the remodeling. I just suffered its effects. In any case, my dad decided to paint the kitchen cabinets white. Since they were dark wood colored to begin with, this required…
Mmmmm… Yawn. I’m a little tired. I stayed on last night after you left. Bishop, who didn’t have school today, stumbled across me hibernating on Legends, so we went back over to DS9 and chatted for a long while about life and stuff. How come the really deep discussions come really late (or very early)? Anyway, it started storming really big. My dad came upstairs to unplug my computer, only to find me on it. That was not a pleasant scene. I told him I was writing a paper, which I was. But he was upset, even though he went…
