Someone come over here and make me some tea! Stat! [ 12 07 09 - 1:24pm] changeling0203 [ mood | sick ] I work with children, so I'm not exactly at a loss as to where this cold or flu or swine flu or whatever I have came from. I preach adoption and more funding for schools, but right at this instant I want all children exterminated like the little infectious vermin they are. You know, the last time I was really sick? The Friday before the weekend I started feeling ill was the Friday Little Dylan in the elementary Autistic class wiped his runny-nosed, snotty face on the back of my shirt as I was helping him wait in line for the drinking fountain. Vermin, I tell you. Vermin. 2 | post comment

Attention everyone: [ 12 07 09 - 11:29am] angelikitten [ mood | satisfied ] I love my Dreamwidth layout. That is all. (My LiveJournal layout is pretty similar, but I like the Dreamwidth one more. With the amount of time I've spent messing around with the code to get it how it is, I'd better damn well like it.) more comments over at Dreamwidth! post comment

I know I've claimed that every time I've gotten the sniffles in the past but this time I've actually got a couple of the symptoms! Can someone sing "Soft Kitty" to me? 2 | post comment

[ 12 05 09 - 5:22pm] angelikitten [ mood | accomplished ] I'm actually quite happy with how my Christmas cards are turning out - I could even say I'm slightly impressed with them. I have no idea how I'm going to do better than this next year. I probably shouldn't even try. I should, somehow, figure out how to print them without causing a paper jam every two minutes. more comments over at Dreamwidth! post comment

"Embers" by Sándor Márai. [ 12 04 09 - 8:20am] changeling0203 [ mood | curious ] Years ago I started "Embers" by Sándor Márai for a Hungarian Literature class in CCS and got two-thirds of the way through before I had to start something else. I always told myself I'd go back to it but I never did. Still, I put it on my list of favorite books, but now I realize I actually put it on my list of "Best Books I've Ever Read." Favorite and Best aren't the same things - I loved "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro and hated Jane Austen's "Emma," but "Emma" is, admittedly, a better book. I don't think there's a single person I wouldn't recommend this book to, and I know a lot of different types of people in different stages of their lives. When I picked it up again, I remembered the plot (inconsequential, almost) and none of what was said between the two men in it, but I remembered how the book made me feel. The Washington Post Book World says in the review on the cover, "As masterly and lovely a novel as one could ask for... Embers is perfect." I don't know that I disagree with that statement. For those of you who want a plot, you basically have two old men who were friends when they were young, but then one left suddenly and was not heard from for forty-one years. Now he's returned and the first is asking him why he left, and what exactly happened in the woods the last time they went hunting, and what happened between his beautiful, now dead wife, and the three of them during their last dinner. They've both had forty-one years in which both of them has thought about nothing else and are now talking about the conclusions they've come to about themselves and each other and where they stand in the world. It's full of things like "Friendship can only be felt between men" and "Only men know what it is to be friends" and bits and pieces that make their relationship sound sexual and not platonic. But the General, the main character, admits to this and says that friendship is a type of Eros and their bond may not have been romantic or sexual physically and they may not have been in love (the author refers to homosexuality as a perversion, and this was written in the '40's, so I doubt the characters are gay) but the bond between a man and woman was equally as strong with them. "But deep inside you was a frantic longing to be something or someone other than you are. It is the greatest scourge a man can suffer, and the most painful. Life becomes bearable only when one has come to terms with who one is, both in one's own eyes and in the eyes of the world. We all of us must come to terms with what and who we are, and recognize that this wisdom is not going to earn us any praise, that life is not going to pin a medal on us for recognizing and enduring our own vanity or egoism or baldness or our potbelly. No, the secret is that there's no reward and we have to endure our characters and our natures as best we can, because no amount of experience or insight is going to rectify our deficiencies, our self-regard, or our cupidity. We have to learn that our desires do not find any real echo in the world. We have to accept that the people we love do not love us, or not in the way we hope. We have to accept betrayal and disloyalty, and, hardest of all, that someone is finer than we are in character or intelligence..." - The General, page 135. 2 | post comment

Readernaut.com [ 12 04 09 - 7:51am] changeling0203 [ mood | excited ] [ music | "Supernatural" ] Readernaut.com. Melissa posted this a while back and I've gotten addicted to it. I know this sounds bad, but it's gotten me reading more. I should be reading for the sake of it and not because I like tracking my progress and seeing an almost tangible result. Also, it's like Twitter but for books. Still, I love it. There's a place where you can review books or add favorite quotes. I only have two friends on it right now, so please add me. 1 | post comment

[ 12 03 09 - 4:52pm] angelikitten [ mood | happy ] Reason #5827469 why I love Eddie Izzard: Visited the London Olympic Stadium. Took video but will post later. Anyway, 1000 days to the opening of the Para Olympics. I aim to be there [source] Okay, so 1000 days to the Paralympics sounds better than 967 days to the Olympics, but the Paralympics don't get anywhere near as much press, and... I can't explain it, but this is ace, okay? I've had a bad day, and this is the ace-ist thing I can think of to post. (Bad things that happened today included breaking my computer, breaking one of the bank's computers, having to talk to a cashier who's speakers & microphone weren't working, having to carry out a bank transaction via mime (due to lack of speakers & microphone), and hurting my back while doing mime. It was a very energetic mime.) more comments over at Dreamwidth! post comment

Women [ 12 02 09 - 11:49am] invader_dave I took Christy out for dinner last night. She seems like a very sweet girl and she's kinda fun to be around, but she seems a little distant. I like her, but I'm not sure if there's going to be more than friends with her. I dropped her off at her car and she stalled for a moment, almost as if she were anticipating another kiss. Well, I was holding back, I'm not sure what to do really. It would appear that I now have three women in my life at this time. At some point I'm going to have to select one. It seems so stupid. Select a woman to get closer with and commit yourself to. Do I really have to? It all seems odd to me, but then again thats my logical mind taking over. There's supposed to be some emotional thing going on and I just seem to not think through that anymore. Shannon seems like a great long lasting friend that I'm glad to have in my life, but we seem to have a few conflicts and divergent personalities. I enjoy spending time with her, but something just seems to be missing, I'm not sure what that is. I definatly want to spend more time with her and get to know her a little better. Cherry, now here is a woman I can see myself having a hell of a good time with. She loves me a lot and openly says it which sometimes bothers me because I'm afraid to say the same; I'm not 100% sure and she told me to only tell her I love her if I was certain about it. She seems like a lot of work and has a lot of issues in her life to deal with like getting a job, home, car, and the whole situation with her husband with whom she has separated with. I'm planning on visiting her some day soon, probably when she gets her life straightened out. I'm just going to enjoy this for now and see where things go. post comment
