'dul's thing was today.

He got his grant for this comic he'd been working on. It's so weird, I've seen that thing around all the time, and he got a grant for it. Surreal. This sounds wrong, like I don't think he deserved it, which is not the case.

His mom was there. That woman... I don't know. She sees Ana. Ana doesn't see her. AFTER Ana passes her, Ms. Doris goes and picks Ana up from behind. So of course, Ana screams. She's perfectly right to scream, she just got picked up without her consent, by somebody she didn't even know was there! And then Ms. Doris walks off with this kid. No wonder Ana spent most of the award ceremony carefully avoiding her grandmother. Somebody needs to send a giant out to pick Ms. Doris up like that, see how she likes it.

Ana did calm down eventually, and was friendly, and (finally) learned how to throw a snowball. Well. Kinda. She learned that this is what people do, but she can't really throw them. It's more like "dropping with momentum".

And then I got my presents. Guess what, guess what, guess what I got!

A book on obsolete/obscure words and...

The Gargoyles' First Season!!!!!

*hugtackles Jenn* I love you, I love you, I love you, and thanks for making me call job people and finding jobs for me to look into, and I love you!

I'm gonna go now. I have a show to watch, and dishes to wash.

This entry is dated ahead 30 minutes. I'm eager to get my first post of the day out of the way. So when I say "today", I mean Sunday, even though this is dated on Monday.

Just saw the first two episodes of Gargoyles.

Wow. I very nearly forgot how good this show is. I can't fangirl enough over this.

I'm debating watching the third episode right now. On the one hand, I wanna see it again! On the other, it's really late, and I should leave some for later.... Hm, choices, choices... what do you think?

Question.

This happens to me sometimes, as I just said to readerravenclaw.

I try to be logical/rational. I don't always succeed, but I try. Occasionally, this leads me to convictions which, though I do agree with, surprise me. If I'd looked at myself from the outside, I wouldn't believe that I believe these things - or, at least, that I consider them worthy of examination.

Does this happen to anybody else? That they believe something that shocks them to realize, even if they know exactly how they came by that belief?

I'm sorry.

I really hate prejudice, but I just found myself saying something prejudiced (and inappropriate, really) to a friend of mine.

Please call me on any prejudiced statement you see me make in the future. That's just not cool. Thank you.

Oh, and please try to explain why you think it's prejudiced. That's useful to know.

Thanks for everyone who wished me a happy birthday!

And, for those who asked, it's actually been quite warm today :)

News: Locked myself out. Not such a big deal, I was going to Jenn's anyway, so I just stayed there. FINALLY got all my bill and scheduling problems fixed up. I'll post my schedule later, Jenn gets much praise. Am eating soon. Love you all, must run, djusk' a.

My classes this term:

I have five classes on Tuesday, all in a row.

8:00 is Language and culture
9:25 is Psych of Language
10:50 is Intro to Anthropology (finally)
12:15 is Intro to Women's Studies

BREAK
4:55 is Core 6 (literature)

The first three classes also meet on Friday, the last two meet on Thursday.

Not too shabby, considering I just registered today.

Jenn is to be much lauded.
