Strange spellings, distraction, and half cleaners



Yesterday i wrote the word "done" on the whiteboard at Kirsten's appartment. For whatever reason, it looked really weird to me. Maybe i've just been working with foreign languages too much. Now it's starting to look more normal. The pronunciation of it and other words in English has become stranger and stranger to me though over the course of my foreign language meanderings.

i have some homework to do, but i'm really avoiding it. i'm hoping that with giving in and writing some of my thoughts i can break free.

Yesterday i woke up to strange voices in my house. This was particularly weird because all my housemates had been gone for the weekend. Apparently we got a new cleaning service and the new cleaners were getting a walkthrough. This was fine by me since the old cleaners hadn't shown up in about a month and things were starting to get a bit out of hand. i cleaned up the floor in my room and left the door open so they could vacuum , but the cleaning job (which was pretty good otherwise) stopped at the top of the stairs.
Grrrr.
i suppose i may have to clean the room myself, of all things.



Perhaps this is a continuation of my last post, but i'm getting pretty fed up with all this damn work i have to do. Can't i just run out in open fields and sing "tra la la la la" and open my wings and all that?
Be the fire in my heart. Be the wind in these sails.

Who needs to be responsible?? I want to somehow find a job where running through fields is all you have to do all day.

Also, did you get to see Wings of Desire? That screen shot you used is killer. I love it!

Yeah, i did. i liked it a lot and i'd love to talk about it. Hopefully in Real Life. (or Life University, whichever fits your schedule better)

Well, I am pursuing a minor in Real Life at Life University, so the two DO intersect every once in a while.
