My laptop has been returned to it's rightful place after spending a week in intensive care. Since then, I've been... You know. I got a Yoga/Meditation dvd, I think I'll actually try to keep up with it after I control my unbearable laughter. Are these people serious? Why, at $19.99 they better be. My chi is in the wrong place, my karma is out of funk and my houses are disaligned. Oh, my room is a mess, as well.
I have finished reading my fourth Chuck Palahniuk Book, Survivor. It kind of sucked, I'm not going to lie, but I really liked the philosophy of it. I think it only sucked because going into it, I knew it would. I liked Choke, Invisible Monsters and the ever so famous, Fight Club. I'm onto Snuff, Diary, Haunted and Rant next. Wish me luck.
You know, I should really be finishing this novel I started writing that Chuck Palahniuk inspired me to right. With the way my life is going, I'll never get around to it, and Hotdog Guy will be arrested in developement, along with Protagonist A. I haven't created a name for Protagonist A or Hotdog Guy yet. Something with a J, for Hotdog Guy. I like J's.
When I was a kid, I used to draw people without arms, and sometimes without legs. My teachers thought I had a serious problem. I wonder how I saw the world back then? Still life.
I have an addictive personality, I hate it. I'm too chatty. Chatty Christine. I should have my mouth wired shut. I'd even lose weight that way, I'm seriously considering it. Unless, that, too has become outdated.

.
I-Am-Lost. I feel like pulling all my hair out. I'm not even doing what I'm supposed to be doing. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!
I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.
I don't like it. I don't like it one bit.

Ensign.
I should have been prepared but I wasn't, this fault of mine, grew such a passion! You're probably thinking, "Christine, what are you talking about?" The one and only Anton Chekhov, of course! (Not to be confused with Ensign Pavel Chekhov from Star Trek: The Original Series.haha) Yeah, I mis-interpertered an assignment, and ended up terribly failing a Pop Quiz on Chekhov shorts! You'll be pleased to know, I have now read the required reading and then some! Actually, YOU, probably don't care. I know reading the stories won't do me much good now with the test ... but I do hold a glimmer of hope for an impending essay! Dun dun dunnnn.
I love analyzing things (and highlighting!) I have also noticed, this recent philosophical side of me emerged after College. I had been missing out on 18 years of enlightenment, can you believe that? Now that I'm settling into my twenties, I've been more atuned to what has been written between the lines; and let me tell you, it's SHOCKING! I feel like Candide at the end of... Candide! Haha. Actually! I think I can date my budding of analysis back to my 12th year, when I interpereted Beowulf as an Epic Gay Drama (which, I later found out, wasn't the only person to have thought so!) I pity those who think, "It is what it is" because they are blind to the possibilities of the world around them. The meanings, the symbolism. Here, I must sound like a loon, so I'll change the subject.
I like to write, so it's only feasible that I like to give things their own meanings (bizarre as they may be!) I haven't been writing my Fiction for ages, and I feel rather detached from that hobby these days. I think I've been more focused on being human. Driving, a great peril of mine. I'm not that BAD, but I'm no Dale Earnhardt JR. either. I'm directionless; Interpret that whichever way you please. Wait, I never changed the subject did I?
How about them Yankees?Cowboys?Lakers?Steelers? I've noticed I use that ice breaker quite often when awkward silence permits it. That's what I hate; awkward silences! I'm chatty, and I'm only chatty because silence is BO-RING in a room full of people. It's AWKWARD. I don't care what you'll think of me if I say we should clone Jesus from what we find on the Shroud of Turin, or how BIZARRE you might think me for my awe-striking statements. I like Drama. Not bad drama like "he said, she said." But, you know, excitement. I like to evoke conversations people would not normally partake in. Well behaved women never make it in History, is that right?
I'm going to finish reading, The Woman with the Little Dog, then it's bed for Ol' Hickory. No, they don't call me that, but they should.

Emay Osay Appyhay!
Let me start off by saying, I had the best weekend! I got to see Leonard Nimoy for Selected Shorts at the Getty Center (with a wonderful line-up of readers, mind you!) I had a blast. The day prior to the event, I attended an International Festival, which was pretty fun, too! Nothing beat seeing Leonard Nimoy, though! I'm such a trekkie (and sadly, the only Trekkie there that night, and the only one under 45!)
Today, was pretty darn good, too (beside me veering my car into oncoming traffic; I had mistakenly thought it was a turning lane. Merde!) I got an A on an In-Class essay! These small victories really make my day, considering not much else goes on in my life. The next considerably exciting thing for me is recieving my autographed picture of Michio Kaku from his Official Website! I've got a frame and everything ready for it. He's my favorite Theoretical Physicist! :-] You know, oftentimes I wonder why I'm so intrigued by Science when I am so terrible at it (when it comes to equations; I hate math!) I would KILL to see either Brian Cox (mmm!), or Michio Kaku, who happen to be my two top fave Physicists (but as far as I know, Cox hasn't done any presentation or appearances in Los Angeles, and Kaku does his lectures all the way in Berkley!)
I need to start reading again (for leisure.) I remember how I used to read two books a week, I'm lucky if I have time for one every month, if even that! I'm going to swear off the internet, it's been taking too much of my time. I've also had some stints with cyberstalking; that is why I had to take my full name off of my Facebook page! Some people are just ridiculous. I am disgusted by humanity whenever I come across these dispicable figures online. (Thankfully, I can write here, since nobody reads my blog, or really know of me on blogger! haha)
