Facegook... Blech

I am...
OFF facegook again. I am rawther frustrated with the inainety of it all. After receiving some rawther sophomoric statements and requests from people who in the process of making the statements and requests rawther piqued my frustration and prompted this response:

What am I doing on Facegook?
Why am I still using it? I still have my family contact info, 
and the info from the friends who I care about,
and whatever else I will need.
I don't need this.
I don't NEED this.
I DON'T need THIS.
Etc.

So I shut it down, and I feel that I am better off without it. I still have things to do, and I am better suited to not waste time on non-essentials.


 BLT Sandwiches are the best!



Quiche!!! My very first ever made-from-scratch quiche was delicious! Bacon, Spinach and cheesy it was ABSOLUTELY DELIGHTFUL! And it didn't last 24 hours. Those are the best dishes to make


In other news...

is proof that I actually accomplished something last June

Le Grande Expérience

 so... I tried dying my hair blue... the process is as follows:
Using Jello and conditioner, vaseline, gloves, a plastic grocery sack, and too much impatience.























So... Nothing happened. I'll have to try again later when I'm not looking for a job, and when I have the right dye.

But I did end up smelling like Blue Mixed Berry for a little while, which was nice.

SUNSHINE!


I don't get it, I have issues with the dark. I would much rather prefer to have it be light all of the time here in Seattle, but it isn't.
I don't understand, our rotation around the sun SURELY would have given us some light, but it doesn't. I'm going outside to take pictures.

Train of Thoughts

So it happens that my friend Milo asked me today if I have ever thought about recording my random ramblings whenever I have them. I have, the problem is that I probably wouldn't be able to remember what I have said once I have recorded it. It's not bad, it's simply the way my brain works, if I have said something, it's outside of my head then I move on to the next topic. For things like that we end up with:
Random songs about: Long underwear
intestines and how they relate to the paycheck
bad habits
food food food
schoolwork and the spleen
etc.
it's nearly always an adventure when I play chess with a person finding out their attack strategy and how they operate as a logical thinker, or not. and yesterday I played Milo four games of chess each time learning more about how he thinks. It's fascinating.
whenever I play, and it isn't often, I wait for the other person to make a move, sometimes attacking first, sometimes playing defensively. whenever distracted, I lose, whenever focused, I tend to win, whenever teaching... you get the picture.
Hopefully I haven't trounced my friend too much to discourage him from playing me again, I look forward to it!
I need to make more art, finish my art, and hang an exhibit in the library. My deadline is next Friday. Paintings for a non-painter isn't that grand?
I have photos somewhere of what has happened recently, I just need to find them. Oh, and also, I'm writing stories.

Adventures

Ok, so, On we go
adventurous through to snowqualmie
I heard the word
and heeded the curve
of the route of the road we were on
Following the path
that leads were it's at
was the bundling trundling
sometimes confuddling
walking or runnilying
path.

The clouds
closer now
seem to hang like a shroud
o'er the mountainous hills
and protrusions
as we strain
'gainst the rain
for a healthy refrain
of a traveling song
of no nuisance

Here, here we go
surrounded by peaked-snow
of a generous sort for this season
A hill rounded still
by such larger rocks will
be a generous lookout for
a week-e-nd

"Pon una linia donde quiere"

Spanish learning as a youth consisted of, "Now which game will this fidgety little girl try to not ignore"
and "How can she learn conversationally when she is clearly NOT going to absorb anything unless she is in a social setting?!" Homeschooling was interesting. Homeschooling was the opposite of dance.
Dance had order, it had fluidity, and it had... people, mostly girls, except for when in level three we actually had, gasp, two boys! Always Always Always there were an odd number of girls in class, so in across-the-floor exercises I would get paired with them because I could keep up, and I was quite a bit more comfortable around them than the other girls. It was the "Eew boys are gross!" years for all the other girls. I honestly didn't care. If I could keep up with the guys, who were being trained to have huge strides, I didn't mind, it meant that I could have big strides too! I always like that until the higher levels where suddenly they guys were ostracized or doted upon constantly by the other girls, or teacher.
Dance is strange like that. but it's the perfect outlet for the ADD. you get constant distraction from different movements of the body, and the beauty comes from balancing the distraction with focus, if you can be purposefully distracted with intent then it's a lot easier on the brain. The exercise makes you happy too! I don't believe that I'm dancing nearly enough once a week. It is expensive though to maintain yourself with classes. The ADD doesn't often allow ones' self to give a class that one can also take at the same time.

Tense confusion, pronoun confusion, subject flow... this blog post will not make it to the second draft of a formal paper. Cool how this isn't a formal paper, isn't it!

Flurriously Snowing!

Up here in the state of Washington so rarely is the occasion that contains a snowfall. So, to wake up see it snowing, see everything covered in a soft white blanket of beauty, is dazzling. My dear friend, who is from South America loves it here because the climate is so cold, and whenever there is snow He truly is enthralled by it all.
To say the least, Snow is cold. I waffle back and forth between liking it, and not liking it for logistical purposes, and this weekend alone several different happenings that usually go on were cancelled for me. That’s not to say that I wasn’t relieved that they were cancelled, I was indeed, but it’s frustrating being at home so much. I never did buy those rain-boots that would double as snow-boots.
Work was cancelled today, and the next day and the next...
I was inside my house for nearly five days straight. That's far too long for me and my walking-legs. 

It's rawther difficult to take pictures of snow falling, but I attempted it anyway!

Apart from all the other blogs, and pages, and things I need to create an etsy account.
