I think the whole world is starting to believe you.
So now it is 2003. This feels odd, and a little too close to 2004 for my liking. For every inch of me that wishes I was advanced, there is another inch that wishes I could just regress to, say, maybe 18 and stay there. That way, if I was advanced, it would mean something. Finishing college at 18 would be cool, where as finishing it at 22 is just sadly normal. I have some New Year's resolutions but they aren't anything that I don't wish every day most of the time. Something about finishing things that I start in my head, using my time more productively, learning to sew, opting for happiness, being a better loser, coming up with a good idea for my honors project, improving my Japanese language skills....the list goes on. There is so much in myself that I want to improve and yet am too lazy to tend to most of the time.

Oh, and work on that damn Lantern webpage. **kicks herself for agreeing to do it in the first place** I STILL don't have titles and artists for most of the visual art pieces, unless Amy did them all :), which would be cool, but they don't all look like her submissions, and she is almost the only name on the list that JRam gave me when I asked him for the names of the artists. And one of the written pieces was also not on the list. And Dennis's piece contains some yuckiness that I now wish I had not read, and I still have to format it, which means I will probably have to at least glance over it again unless Tom does it for me. Anyway, it's probably going to get done anyway, despite the lack of work identification - at least that way the pieces will be online, even if noone gets credit for them. If the people in charge want it to actually be nice and helpful, they can send me the information I need instead of just sending me information that I already have. Yes yes yes.

Right now I have to clean my room and haul out a bunch of crap that I should ebay now that I have a digital camera and can take pictures of it.

I've been sleeping in too late simply because I can. When there is no impetus to go to bed at night, I tend not to do so until it is too late to awake any time before 12. Noon. Yes, noon. I am lazy! : ). But, last night after spending some pretty nice

time with Tom, Jen, and later Dru, I at least finished The Fellowship of the Ring, which means that I can move on to either The Two Towers or some other book. In the meantime (well, this morning) I have been reading some short stories by Yoshimoto Banana from the collection "Lizard."

*note - in my mind finishing this book means that I accomplished something! Go me! :) Hahahaha

oh, and Tom bought me one of those digital camera card readers! Yay! No more waiting for pictures to download and worrying about battery power, and no more lugging cumbersome cords about!

Doug, don't worry, not long after you are forgotten by everyone I will be forgotten by everyone, so at least you won't be in obscurity alone :)
