Arsonists are lame because they displace their repressed passions by burning stuff.

When I said "One down, more to go" in YM last night, I was referring to schoolwork and not boys.

FYI, I repel males in this part of the country, and I don't know why.

When you call me close
to tell me
your body is not beautiful
I want to summon
the eyes and hidden mouths
of stone and light and water
to testify against you.

1. Grab the nearest book. (N.B. Don't you dare dig for that "cool" or "intellectual" book in your closet! I know you were thinking about it! Just pick up whatever is closest.)
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next 3 sentences on your blog along with these instructions.
5. Tag 5 people.

Maybe we're not as brainy-smart as Lord Byron and Mary Shelley, but we can tolerate some shit to make our story work.

Mr. Whittier, our old, dead monster.

Mrs. Clark, our new monster.

- Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk.

I tag all of you. Sam P.'s debut tonight. Lalalala.

The couch by the window in the Fine Arts Room is parapsychological. Iselle and I had a grand time laughing over our Orosman and Zafira readings for no apparent reason. I spent ten minutes being perfectly still staring at Cat's face (who was reading Lobo's Back) with my head on her lap. Charz and I also discussed penises as thick as soda cans and.

Nevermind.

Chris Sligh made it to the top 24 of American Idol... YAY! That's what you get for singing one of the most beautiful songs ever made during auditions.

Words, Wide Night
Carol Ann Duffy

Somewhere on the other side of this wide night
and the distance between us, I am thinking of you.
The room is turning slowly away from the moon.

This is pleasurable. Or shall I cross that out and say
it is sad? In one of the tenses I'm singing
an impossible song of desire that you cannot hear.

La la la la. See? I close my eyes and imagine
the dark hills I would have to cross
to reach you. For I am in love with you

and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.

I'm starting to have an obsession with coleslaw. The watery kind.

And to whom it may interest, the FA 108/LIT 137 class of Dr. Rofel Brion will have a poetry reading on Tuesday, Feb. 13, 2007 at 10:30 a.m. in the audio visual room of Faura Hall.

Yours truly shall be reading "His First." Pum pum pum...

Watched Science of Sleep again, this time with Sandi and Aila (Wed and Trish had a lovely post-Ecoconomics nap) in Wed's condo. It's just so good. Really really. Earlier we were working on our PSY101 group project. Now it's 11:54 pm. I fell asleep and didn't notice someone buzzing me on YM.

Now my throat hurts :(

I am broke. Hence, canned goods and measured portions of rice.

All you need is love.

A memorable quote from La Science des rêves (The Science of Sleep):

Stephane: It's like touching your penis with your left hand.
Stéphanie: I don't have a penis.
Stephane: But you have a left hand.
