The weekend hath arrived!!! :D Hooray for Easter! I'm going down to NC to visit my Dad and stay over there for Easter weekend. Which means I dunno whether or not I'll have access to a compy and be able to tell everyone about my weekend. Still... that can wait till Monday/Sunday night too. I hope everyone's weekend is BEAUTIFUL and that their Easter ROCKS!!!

WOO HOO! Check this out!!! My presentation was soooo good. He said we went over all the right topics and he liked how we interpreted and what we were saying about the film. Yay for Morgan! That crazy lovable fool, I'm glad I got to do presentation on a movie that I really liked this time. A happy movie!! I feel much better now, as long as the cramps stay away and I don't have to do any more presentations for a loooooong time. :D

Right, so we just finished reading some Plato in Greek Civ and are now doing other philosophers influenced by Plato and Socrates. It sounds like the Stoics took some beatings back in the day. OH GAG! They have quotes from Cicero on Fate!! And naturally his quotes are way longer than everyone elses. I swear that man and his run-ons, oh the horror. I think this has him beat though... Diogenes Laertius on Ethics: These are apparently our passions as human beings. "[P]ain is an irrational contraction; its forms are pity, grudging, envy, resentment, heavy-heartedness, congestion, sorrow, anguish, confusion. Fear is the expectation of something bad. These [forms] are brought under fear: dread, hesitation, shame, shock, panic, agony. Desire is an irrational striving, and these [forms] are ranged under it: want, hatred, quarrelsomeness, anger, sexual love, wrath, spiritedness. Pleasure is an irrational elation over what seems to be worth choosing; under it are ranged enchantment, mean-spirited satisfaction, enjoyment, rapture." And let us not forget that the three good states of the soul are joy, caution, and wish. Wait wouldn't wish fall under [gasp!] DEsiRe or even maybe pLEAsUre?!?!?!?! OH NO! Ok, so maybe pain and fear aren't so off the wall but what if, say I'm enjoying my breakfast that's supposed to be a sign saying that I'm succumbing to my desire or pleasure and am not virtuous??? What?!?! It's French Toast!! I think good 'ole Laerty spent to much time thinking and not enough time living. :P

Hmph! I have a test and presentation tomorrow. What's going on there?? School is madness - you have weeks of bumming about and nothing then all the sudden in one week everything is pounded on you! >_< I spent all day today running around trying to find teachers and advisors to sign my abroad courses forms and I'm still not DONE with all this paperwork! ARGH!! I know it's worth it but it's insanity!! What if I get ulcers or something?!?!?!!!!

I don't know, but I'm sure I can find some ways to promote. Put a link on YOUR site, I'll put a link on mine. Then I can hit the search engines and WE WILL DOMINATE THE BLOGGING WORLD!!!!! bwah hahahahahah

From my Momma:
One saggy boob said to the other saggy boob:
"If we don't get some support soon, people will think we're nuts."

"It was Christmas night in the Castle of the Forest Sauvage, and all around the castle the snow lay as it ought to lie. It hung heavily on the battlements, like thick icing on a very good cake, and in a few convenient places it modestly turned itself into the clearest icicles of the greatest possible length. It hung on the boughs of the forest trees in rounded lumps, even better than apple-blossom, and occasionally slid off the roofs of the village when it saw the chance of falling on some amusing character and giving pleasure to all. The boys made snowballs with it, but never put stones in them to hurt each other, and the dogs, when they were taken out to scombre, bit it and rolled in it, and looked surprised but delighted when they vanished into the bigger drifts. There was skating on the moat, which roared with the gliding bones which they used for skates, while hot chestnuts and spiced mead were served on the bank to all and sundry. The owls hooted. The cooks put out plenty of crumbs for the small birds. The villagers brought out their red mufflers. Sir Ector’s face shone redder even than these. And reddest of all shone the cottage fires down the main street of an evening, while the winds howled outside and the old English wolves wandered about slavering in an appropriate manner, or sometimes peeping in at the key-holes with their blood-red eyes."

The Once and Future King by T.H. White

Mmmmm warm bubbly feelings in the morning :)

YES! I hath conquered the evilness that is archives!! Not really, just a little but any small victory is good for me. And the links are there, well some of them, we'll add more later. AND visit carrie's site she has kick ass artwork!!!! ^.^

[SOB] Need.... to.... relearn code..... [sniffle, sniffle]

Yea, the format I guess you'd call it is from Blog Skins It was an omage to Easter but I've decided I don't like it. Oh and I didn't have to go to Film so I walked alone, in the cold, but with sunlight. Towards the end it started to rain, and now it's POURING! I think I'll change the bloggieness again, and then go do my radio show.

Meeeeee sleepy! I don't really want to go to film class either, but I think I might have to. Here's what the fate of Brandy's afternoon is depending on: after work I have to go harass the registrar about my "proposed courses" forms - because I have to turn them in tomorrow :P and I don't have all my signatures and I don't even know how many credits the classes I take at Sydney will transfer as over here and neither do my advisors. So the registrar had better know! Next I have to go help out with another psychology experiment which is SUPPOSED to take 15 mins (and had better) and depending on what the people at the registrar say about needing all my signatures I will or won't go to film. If I don't go then I can do my aerobic walking before dinner and have it done but if I do go then I'll have to do my walking after dinner in the dark, cold night.... alone with my flashlight down in the woods by the lake. What is that?!?! I hope I don't need all the signatures. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaseeeeeeee no! At least Gilmour Girls and Smallville come on tonight, speaking of which I want this months Rolling Stone. 0:)

Erm I'm not really Native American though... running joke. I do LIVE with an Indian though who likes goofy boys and pop music! Any takers? ;)

Good thing I'm Native American (not Navajo though) and not one of you WHITE SUPREMIST FREAKS! I'm at work for the moment, which means I do nothing! Bwahhahahahahaha! Want some good news though?! My hall had a social to watch the Oscars last night, yes we yelled and are very disrespectful during speeches, and my RA handed out this ballot thing to guess which ones would win. I GOT 12 RIGHT! Woo Hoo!!! :D I won a very purdy flower headband thingee that I'll take a polaroid of and show the world. And I am damn proud of my psychic performance! I was naturally biased with FOTR which one a good amount, I'm satisfied for this year, and I thought it was a good show. Just way damn long! Still 12/24 is pretty good for dah Brandy!!!! mmmmm hmmmm

Mmmmm today is BEAUTIFUL!!!! Nice and sunny with a 'lil bit of a breeze, really gorgeous. So I went ahead and did my 30 mins of walking for PhEd and actually ended up being to hot. Go figure! It was still nice though, the campus here is so huge and if I think about I really haven't seen that much of it at all. That's why this aerobic walking class will be good, I'll get a chance to go wandering down all the trails here and see some more of what we've got! ^.^ The school's also been putting on a production of "The Tempest" all weekend so I went and watched that. Pretty good, but a little long at times. A girl down the hall played Ariel and she was AWESOME! Mucho gusto. hehe

Nooooo! How could you call FOTR anything other than awe-inspiring rapture?!?! And I will put my grocery list on here if I damn well please. :P Let's see I bought... chips, contact solution, lotion, toothpaste, a new toothbrush, dr. pepper , minute maid, facial cleaning stuff, an Easter present for my secret senior, and a magazine. How you like them apples? Other than that I spent most of the day working on my GOD AWFUL LATIN PROJECT!! When I'm dead Cicero will rue the day. And watching this goofy British movie called Morgan: A Suitable Case for Treatment he was a very silly man!

Hrmmm, supposed to go out to dinner tonight with Lisa-P but am hungry NOW! >_< I can wait an hour, I know I can.... I hope we GO in an hour. Worried that this weekend will be crazy but probably won't be really, Oscars on Sunday WOO HOO, FOTR gots tah sweep!! I need to go to WalMart too, and have decided that soda is bad so from now on it's water, milk, and juice. We'll see how long this lasts. I have been really good about trying to get enough milk and the empty fridge means I've been drinking lots of water since that's all that's available. I already ate all the jelly beans from Carrie's package :P, I should ration the chocolate for future PMS cravings.

Carrie is one KICK ASS woman! I came back from classes today to check my mail and what should I discover? That I have TWO not ONE packages!!!! :D Yes, I was VERY excited to open them since one was a box and I had no idea what it was doing in my mail. mmmmm surprises IT WAS AN EASTER PRESENT!!! Filled with that crazy green basket grass stuff that goes everywhere and makes things HARD TO FIND. ;) And underneath all of it was a wonderfully pink bunny bursting with HAPPINESS! It also looks like Carrie sacrificed a book full of pictures as wrapping in my loverly Easter box. I think I'll have to use some of them for the collage. tee hee! The other package was from my ever-loving momma! Magazines and mail from home (one was a letter from my Senator who I like to send advice to concerning the environment now and again). Along with some videos of my shows that I can't get here at school; so Mom tapes them for me at home because she loooooooooooves me!!! What a happy afternoon! ^.^

I go first!!! hehe Should I start with why I even wanted to jump on the blogging bandwagon in the first place? I think I have worthwhile stuff to share with the world, maybe I'm the only one who thinks so but that's not important on my side of things. Damn I'm a little confrontational this evening... must be PMS I've been grumpy lately. BUT I have been accepted to study abroad next year at The University of Sydney!!!! :D Muy Bueno! Except all the paper work that's piling up (aka I should go and figure out what courses I would like to take). Take care! :}
Oh yes! This definitely needs a spell check!!
