my msn handle of "what have I gotten myself into" has never seemed more appropriate.

[livejournal.com profile] piratelooksat20 especially, and also [livejournal.com profile] cynderellie and [livejournal.com profile] j_daffodil: thank you all so much. *glomps* I feel bad for whinging about it, but thank you all so much.

So I feel bad that I asked my mom to drive me in to school this morning, because my teacher ended up not coming in and cancelling all of her classes. Wonderful. So I set about working with Larissa on setting up the Linguistics Students Association, worrying with Karla about getting into Old English Lit and telling people about House of Leaves.

So I've gone from being completely freaked out about it, to still being freaked out about it but thinking it's really cool and wanting to study it for my final project in Stylistics. I'm an odd bird, to be sure. I'll definitely have to think about this more.

I'm fretting about how to pay for University.I'll have no money and owe my mom roughly 200 dollars, but I think I can do it without cashing any savings bonds, which will be nice.

I got to spend time with Joe today. Joe makes me so happy- this might seem strange, but he reminds me so much of my father. Except much more educated. If things were different (I'm not sure if they're married, or getting married, but I know he has a kid) I could even see myself being madly in love with Joe. But I'm not. It's just that good friend/big brother-but-not-really-so-jokes-about-sex-aren't-kinda-creepy kind of thing.

I'm also really loving a lot of the songs I've downloaded from Poe's Haunted CD. I mentioned this and [livejournal.com profile] greek_amazon said she'd try to burn it for me. Sweet. Even though I still feel bad for leaving her alone with a slightly crazy/possibly high former classmate of mine (actually, I kind of ran away. I'm so sorry, Maureen.)

Hell, I just love everybody right now.

Mwa hee. ^^ I didn't mind. It's what I woulda done in the same situation.

You make me want to read House of Leaves....

I think there's another copy at the Winnipeg Public Library.

Joe is cool. I used to be so scared of him. I'm glad that you've found a teddy bear to recline on. ;)

Monique, people are not furniture.

But he is my big over-sized pussycat. :)

Great CD. I think I'll listen to it right now. Thanks for reminding me of its existence.- Claire (http://giants.sea-of-flowers.ca/blog/)
