Hehehe!

Thanks Aspen for the link to find these fun things... Getting a kick out of them. However, the birthday one was totally off!

What Your Underwear Says About You

You buy the sexiest underwear you kind find, and always have something hot on underneath your clothes.

You're comfortable in your own skin - and don't care to impress anyone.

Hmm 21 days later

Yes, I have been relaxed in some of the areas of my life that probably shouldn't be.

I am currently trying to do everything all at once, and I just can't seem to do it. Bah, time is going too fast.

Ich liebe Deutschklass. I am not all that great at German, but I am sure enjoying it! Why can't I be terrific at it? Can you imagine how much I'd love German then?!

Oak Hall Council is doing some terrific things and I'm very excited about the activities. We plan on doing a safe sex/alcohol awareness activity in 2 weeks. We're holding an icebreaker as the residents come in, free drinks (mocktails), music, a "talk" by the RAs about happenings on campus and society, booths with condoms and pamphlets and information, games, and lots of prizes! Then, we plan on a haunted house - which may or may not be a blast. I plan on making it a blast - now that I know we have the help!

hmmmm

I've been reading up on Edda's and the Tree of Life is VERY interesting to me. It says inTitchenell's, The Masks of Odin: Wisdom of the Ancient Norse, that almost every myth/religion has some sort of tree symbolism. What is it about trees? An only constant in the world? Until humans are finally rid of them in the future? Or will trees even live on past us - their roots going much deeper into the actual soil than we do... they LIVE within the earth and are a part of the spirituality - we die and are placed into the earth to become part of it after we have helped destroy it. All we do is use. But, then, what would the earth be for except to be appreciated and/or abused? Ah! The meaning of life. The eternal Truth with a big T.

Wish I knew what it was, then I'd be famous... or more likely, condemned as a nutcase or very smug in having TMI. Mystery has its merit.

Ah rambling, love it! Going to go read some more. Perhaps I'll just read the Hobit for an hour, then some more on Eddas, and perhaps a bit of Hall Council paperwork.

Oodles of toodles

Well, a lot of exciting things going on. I feel as if a lot could happen in the next few months that will change everything.

I've been to The Brothers Grimm twice now - interesting and spell-binding movie. Jake, one of the brothers, reminds me of my cousin. He wishes things like that were true also. But then, who doesn't wish those fantastic tales were true? Wouldn't the mundanity of some of our life be more colorful and rich if there were ogres hiding under rocks in the alleys and witches living next door?

So many ideas - so little time.

Iceland seems to be within my grasp - so excited about that thought. German class is going very well - I am apparently at the right level of class and am stumbling - but not any worse or better than the others. Yay! I am not a total loss hehehe

Tolkien is exciting for me - I promised myself I would look more into other parts that I haven't before - The Silmarillion for one. I hope that I get to go through this and maybe write my final paper on it.

But - time for me to do some homework... toddleooo
