Confessions of a 20-something mother

[Mich]

Before, silly!

[starlooker]

*confession*

I'm going to drive 60 miles tomorrow morning on deer-infested roads and do mentally draining work on less than four hours of sleep.


Also, I just finished working up my AAPI hours log. In my head, I find it very amusing that I keep thinking, "I'm so happy to be done with AAPI!" (AAPI is pronounced to rhyme with happy, in case it isn't obvious.) The degree to which I find this amusing is really very disturbing. I'm going to go sleep now.

I've been to exactly three classes that meet before noon this semester, and I have a class before noon five days a week. I don't think that's bad or anything, but some people seem to. And mich's confession just made me want to say something.

[Eddie Pinz]

I used to have night classes which met once a week for three hours. I would sometimes skip three of those classes in a row. Yeah so that is missing three weeks of class in a row. Ha ha. It is funny to me now.

[VelvetElvis]

I try to schedule all my classes before noon, if possible. I leave before 11 am every day this semester.

[Mich]

That was my original goal, but I set my classes too early for my best interests, I suppose.

In any case, I shall confess that I've set my sights too high for early classes, I suppose. So I have a weak will.

Related to classes --

Confession: I may or may not be running away from my problems again. I transferred schools, thinking location was the problem, but it appears I'm in an even worse situation, where I feel even more uncomfortable. I think my first locale only felt out of place because I was continually thinking of being here. So I'm switching back (assuming I can get someone to take over my lease).

And I'm not sure if I'm not just making the same mistake again.

[VelvetElvis]

Confession:
I never used to think of myself as socially awkward, but now I think that I am becoming so. Or maybe, just maybe, I was socially awkward this whole time without anyone ever suspecting.

[starlooker]

I still don't even have a rough draft of four of my five essays.

[Young Val]

Confession: The Sox are going to win the world series. Again. And I am terrified.

I'm too superstitous. Everything as I understand it is going to crumble should something so miraculous happen again in so short a span of time after so long and so mythical a drought. I'm not prepared for the breakdown of Boston blue-collar as I know and love it.

Goddamnit.

Yet I can't not root for the home team. Talk about a conflict of interests...

[Luet]

Confession: It's 4pm, I've been awake since 8am and all I have eaten today is a muffin. My desire and ability to eat decreases along with my mood.

Confession: When I feel really down and feeling that there are not many compelling reasons to keep living, the one that feels most true in my heart is that Pheeny (my bearded dragon) needs me. No one else would take care of her and she would be without a good home if I was gone.

[starlooker]

I beg people to proofread things for me, and then I become very cranky with them when they do a good job.

[Rei]

Sometimes (okay, always) I title my papers with the feeling of thousands of years of history behind them. For example, On the Opening of Canto XXXI of Dante's Paradiso.

I also tend to procrastinate further by sorting out what the title would be in Latin, and strongly consider handing it in titled thus. (De principio cantus XXXI paradisi Dantis, if anyone was curious.)

[Dr. Mobius]

I'm not sure why, but I've been diagramming sentences in my head as I read/write them a lot recently. Been doing a pretty good job of it too, assuming of course that the rules I dredged out of one of the darker recesses of my memory are at least halfway accurate.

[starlooker]

When I'm sick or stressed or nervous, sometimes the only thing that helps me sleep is holding the Cabbage Patch doll I've had since I was five. I've dragged her all over the country. There's just something very familiar and comforting about how she fits in my arms.

[Eaquae Legit]

I have a teddy bear, Kirsten. I understand.

[Rei]

All that really matters is that you keep a good grip on her, lest your heart be broken.

Trust me on this one.

[Young Val]

Confession: After the kids went to sleep while I was babysitting tonight there was nothing on tv, so I decided to watch MTV's showing of Legally Blonde the Musical and be disdainful.

Total backfire. I was sort of completely charmed by it, which, given my theatre pedigree, is slightly embarassing. Still, the songs are so very, very stuck in my head now, so much so that I'm considering shelling out for teh soundtrack...

[Gravity Defier]

Confession: When it slows down around here (which is pretty much all the time), I go into the Who Is Online area and send "Please post" vibes to the guests and hidden users. It's not working tonight.

[v-girl]

Confession: I hate living by myself. I knew it was a bad idea when I did it. It's less annoying having to deal with someone else's mess, especially when I'm stressed out, but overall I think my productivity decreases. I need someone around to make me accountable for studying. So now, I have to spend 14-16 hours at school studying because I know if I'm home by myself I get distracted too easily. And... I really miss just having people around. Why did I ever think living by myself was a good idea? I get lonely too easily.

Confession: I think I am a little too overconfident about this biochem exam. I hope I still study hard for it today.

[Eddie Pinz]

Confession: This was the first weekend that I did not see my girlfriend since the begining of the semester and I am okay with that. Although it does suck that we have a window of two days that we can actually hang out. Especially when things come up and plans have to change.

Confession: I fear that this will be a long week because I won't get to see her until this weekend. I hate knowing the fact that I have zero chance of seeing her until friday.

[daPyr0x]

Confession: My bereavement days are being taken up largely by video games. I feel like I should be back at work...

Confession: My brother's aloof attitude frightens me greatly.

[Wind Swept]

Confession: I hate poetry.

[Luet]

Me too!

[BonitoDeMadrid]

Confession: I really, really wanna get Guitar Hero 2, but because of it's enormous price here- about 170$- it's practically impossible; it'd cost me 7 months of my pocket money, and for my age, I get pretty high pocket money.

Plus, I can't find work, because I'm still at school, but now there's a strike- and I STILL can't find work, because "the strike can end every day". That blows.

[Eddie Pinz]

Confession: I always get excited when I see new posts in the Enderverse section. The recent homework help spam there toyed with my emotions.

[Eddie Pinz]

Double post and a shameless way to increase my post count *evil laugh*

Confession: I looked at the top ten posters and was saddened. Not saddened by the fact of who was there, but by the fact of who wasn't there. Names like ValentineNicole, Alai, Satya, Chibi, PowerfulCheese, Limegiver. I also miss my name being up there. *tear*



*note: the word saddened was used for dramatic effect.

[powerfulcheese04]

Yeah.. I'm bummed not to be on it anymore.. but I don't have time to post like I did in high school...

[zeroguy]

My post count is possibly highest in rank out of all of pweb's previous incarnations. I do not see being in the top ten as a good thing.

[Young Val]

I'm actually kind of shocked that I'm ranked where I am. I didn't think I posted quite so much. Perhaps it's from when the board first reopened and I posted about Henry every 0.005 seconds?

[Gravity Defier]

I do not see being in the top ten as a good thing.

Why is it a bad thing?

Why can't it just be what it is? You have something to say, so you say it. That's neither good nor bad, in my oh so humble opinion.

[Eddie Pinz]

It's not a good thing or a bad thing.

The bad thing is posting just for post count, which I really don't think happens anymore.

Kim, I actually have the opposite going on. I have a lot of time, just not that much to say.

Zero, that would be interesting to find out. Not a good or bad thing, just interesting.

[Dr. Mobius]

I think everyone can agree #1 is a bad thing, but the rest of the list looks decent enough.

[VelvetElvis]

Confession: I giggled. Out loud.

Confession: It is starting to bother me that I own every single backstreet boys CD (except for one, and I have it on good authority that my best friend is getting it for me this christmas) and I cannot find any songs by 50cent or Kanye West or Ciara or whoever-the-heck-else that I like enough to buy a CD of.

Confession: I think it might be because The songs by the latter artists tend to use heavy breathing like an instrument.

[Rei]

Confession: I had no idea the Backstreet Boys were still listened to.

[Mich]

Confession: I did.
