God....is it really Wednesday already?

Apparently it is.

So I just watched this video of Peat



and it's kind of strange to realize that after reading his blog for uh...well it has to be around three or four years? that this is the first time I have actually heard the voice with the writing. It just strikes me as strange, that you can have read someone's words, their reflections of life, just whatever they choose to write and never know the actual sound of their voice. It's almost as shocking, if not more, than the first time you see an actual real picture of their face.
Anyway, the video is great and the interview is coolie! Really proud of him. I'm in Soc class and the themes from his book keep on popping in to my brain and I want to do a cultural/sociological dissection but not anywhere where Peat can read it because I feel like that would just be murderous. If I am ever an author I think I want to be mostly ignorant of my fandom. I am a similar fan in that way being that I am a book purist and refuse to look at anything else as it will usually alter my vision. Sometimes it's good. I love visuals. But anything else I refuse.

I feel so tired. It must be an after-sem thing. But Men and Masc is sooooo good. I am so happy I did not drop that class. And for one thing it is helping my GPA out as I got a 90 on my first quiz and a 95 on the latest and I a talker in class. I was surprised at the second quiz because I found it to be quite hard this time. But the main thing I think is that he wants us to think. Our exam next week is three essays and the past quizzes have been essays. I think that he learns as much from our discussions as we do his lectures. You can see it in him when he watches us converse. In the class I am probably one of five main "talkers." Dialogue wise I try and at least say something as I am one of those that can never stand a dead blank silence in the classroom setting. Then I'll try and steer it to basic interreptation and so the topic or question may be slightly easier to understand and other people jump in. Other times I am the base voice that brings us back to what we started on or will defend whatever topic we are on. There is one class member who does not seem to get enough out of the text and today it was more my role to interpt why the text may have been written this way according to a historian stand point and why some things cannot be so explicit, etc. It was interesting.
I think that class really makes me come in to my own as far as talking goes. Even if I'm not on the exact same track as everyone (I am seldom in the right direction it feels, but that is just the way I am wired and have figured this out and that it's okay because it still works.) then I am still with them and I think able to help out the class overall. It is just a really good class and answers more questions I had then I ever expected to find in that class just about men, society and meaning of things. Like I finally understand why I don't get jokes and random things of why things work at they do and how it might be possible to change them. It is very enlightening.

Mm, so the rest of break.

I watched movies, slept, bought stuff for college, slept, hung around, found out Eva is having five puppies, went back to college.
It went really fast and I still can't believe it's Wednesday already.
I'll probably have Bizzy hair on my clothes for the next month. She was very happy to see me.

It's nice to see my girls and talk with them.
Not so nice to have my alarm clock go off but it's okay.

I just need an extra two hours in the day, one for sleep nd one for homework.

Good thing is that Spanish finally clicked today! She explained a feasible rule! Oh my gozzles! It was great. I really do have this love of rules (though not overly much as I like to explore) so it finally clicked for me. Basically Spanish has a sort of buddy system. You say "Mi tengo" and that "mi" and that "go" work together. There a lot of pair variations but that was essentially the root of the word. She also explained another rule that made sense, like why the root of a word changes with the ending, because the stress is in a different place. Oh and Spanish works backwards from English too with word order which really fucks me up as I tend to reverse word order in English all the time but it still makes sense. My brain will get the rules confused....but I'll work it out.

Tomorrow is work day and right now is food time, then self-defense.
So off I go.

Oh, one last note. Mo is confusing but I think at least we will stay friends if nothing more or nothing less. He is one of the most "sane" people I know and for me that kind of regularity is a comfort, just as my own irregularity is interesting to him. I'm glad to know that it is possible because even though we may not be super close I think our friendship may be lasting. It's just a feeling I've got. It's nice.

With that I must be off. Dinner time, then butt-whooping time in self-defense.
Peace
