I think I'm getting sick. Stupid communal living.

Hungry, Hungry, College Students

College makes people hungry. Maybe it's the mandatory unlimited meal plan. Or perhaps it's the 75 minute periods sitting motionless in a desk trying to think of something insightful to say or not fall asleep, depending on the time of day/subject matter.

I've found that most of my/any college student's coversations revolve around a few basic topics.
1. Food
2. Sleep (or lack there of)
3. The Mountains of Work
4. The Weekend

These topics are not dissimilar to those seen at boarding school. I'm not really sure where I'm going with this but I should probably go read J.S. Mill's On Liberty now. I almost went into talking about 2 of the other topics on the list but I refuse to be that stereotypical.

I also really want to bake here but I feel like that would be very difficult.

The Myster

EDIT: This post was not supposed to say "The Myster" but I kind of like it. So it's staying. It seems like a combination of mystery and oyster. Which makes me think of shellfish versions of Sherlock Holmes... Oh dear I really do need more sleep, don't I?

-----------------------------------------

I've realized something about me that is probably different from most people. Well this one thing among many, of course. When I'm zoning out I think about dialogues and monologues. I create characters and plot lines in my head. I don't write down most/almost all of it because most of the ideas wouldn't hold up in a play. I've been starting to write down the good bits that my mind spews out, but sometimes it's hard to see if it will ever amount to anything.

It's weird to think about how I think compared to how other people think. Maybe everyone does this. I've never been other people haha

I should be choosing an essay topic for my Philosophy class right now...instead I seem to be philosophizing about the way my mind works. I should be thinking about the state of nature instead.

If I could write essays as fast as I type blog posts or send skype messages to my friends I'd have those 1500 words all done in no time.

Anyway, through a series of odd events I sprained my ankle and I haven't fenced for a week. I intended to go to practice tomorrow but I don't think it's such a good idea...

Mer mer mer. I'll go work or sleep now.

Busy Notes

I had a very busy weekend thay involved lots of work, some odd events and minimal sleep, so I'll keep this brief. When I find music I like I just play it over and over.


Florence + the Machine - Shake it Out
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RCWnVznnWcs
Upbeat and not your conventional pop.

Laurena - Permafrost
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSyGnEDM_Ik&list=LL3speNtamOBezxIGtgeYEOg&index=3
She writes her own stuff and has a very unique voice. Becomes even better when on repeat! I want to make short films just to ultilize her songs.

Laurena - Fireflies of Montreal
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSpFr_PXb74&feature=related

Hellogoodbye - When We First Met
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05VaUDa6k9A&feature=feedu
This video was produced by meekakitty, who does some really asethically appealing videos. Hellogoodbye used to be the electropop band we all listened to in middle school, but this song is from their most recent album. Happy, poppy and now synth free! Not a bad change.

Sara Bareilles - Gonna Get Over You
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUe3oVlxLSA&ob=av2e
Watch it. Now every time I hear this song I feel the need to dance in public. I resist those urges.

Love,
Amelia
