FUN STUFF

• finish The Mighty Book of Boosh
• page for Luxury Love project (to mail this week!)
• plans for summer film

NOT-SO-FUN STUFF (BUT STILL KINDA IN THE FUN CATEGORY)

• fill out application for volunteer work
• drop it off

• "In the sixties, that generation’s protesters wanted a blank slate, economic and political chaos out of which they could build something new. We’ve got that chaos, and all we want is a way to get back to the structured prosperity that preceded their marching. It’s hard to build a potent counterculture when some of the people it’s meant to appeal to are just hoping for the chance to put on a tie and report to their cubes."

YES.

• sing The Oneders'/The Wonders' brand new hit single "I Quit" in a jaunty tone
• get a job
• haunt the public library
• read Wildwood
• reread all the Harry Potter books
• read The Second Sex if I can stomach any more theory
• WATCH MOVIES!!!
• write some songs
• write screenplay for Steven the Angry Bus Driver
• write screenplay for summer short film
• live, breathe, be Benjamin Braddock without the angst and the creepy love triangle

• ..but this is what I'm looking at.
• Mondays, 7:00-9:00....American Writing to 1918 [fulfills American requirement]
• Tuesdays, 9:30-12:15....Rhetorical Theory [fulfills other concentration requirement and might help with teaching]
• Tuesdays, 2:00-4:45....18th Century Literature: Fashion & Material Culture [fulfills 1 specialization slot]
• Wednesdays, 1:25-4:25....Theory Topics: A History of the Modern Book (1798-present) [fulfills 1 elective slot]
• Teaching Apprenticeship [fulfills requirements to teach next year]

This blows. I don't know when they're next going to teach an American class (rumor was not for another couple of years) but I reeeeallllly don't want to take a night class. Especially when I don't have a car. But I need an American class.

Another problem is scheduling. While it ..._must_ take the American class.

Loser Mormon, meaning he couldn't manage to marry and knock up a chick before he went on his mission trip. Therefore, he was DSFW (Desperately Searching For Wife).

"INTJs are the most independent of all the types, and don’t have much concern when it comes to how situations effect other people’s feelings. They want to do things well and do them efficiently, and are primarily attracted to people for what they can offer on an intellectual level. They can be empathetic, but only because they consciously decide, 'let’s try using empathy to try to make sense of what’s going on here.'”

Um....YES.

"Providing and respecting privacy for the child to express her creativity is vital. It is important to remember that the INTJ creates for herself, not for others. Not insisting or pressuring her to share the final product or beginning that it be displayed or discussed protects the enjoyment of the activity from being spoiled for the child and is a real gift of love to the young INTJ."

• He can tell time: he's better than an alarm clock.
• He can sing. I once caught him wailing along to a guitar solo on a Led Zeppelin record.
