Dr. Milliken is super awesome- I heartily recommend anyone at Oxford studying Anthropology to take her Origins of Human Behaviour class.

I worked on my car today. Changed my oil and air filter and filled up the gas tank. I have been rather neglectful of the car for a couple of months, and it's a really good car, I'm grateful I have it.

Stephen called me yesterday, he's hiking/canoeing in Washington state. I hope he's careful. He is coming to see me as soon as he gets back. I don't know what to say. I don't really like him in any romantic sense, but I feel so alone.

I sent a message to the other one and I wrote all of the issues he brought up in that less-than-polite message he sent me last month. I wrote everything that needed to be said, and I hope he read it. For goodness sake, I hope he read it! But, I have a feeling that he saw it in his inbox and promptly deleted it, which is inexcusable.

Is it so very hard for him to just be my friend?!

Good stuff.

I don't know what to say. I thought I made it clear to Jeff that I wasn't interested in him as a boyfriend, and yet he keeps calling my cell phone (I don't answer) and sending me text messages (which I have to pay for!!). Not to mention the endless facebook and myspace stuff. I thought a guy and a girl could go out to the movies just as friends! I am constantly being hounded by males and I'm not very happy about it. These men just don't seem right to me, we don't have anything in common. I would like to be left alone because, quite frankly, I feel like I need to wait. I know it sounds strange, but I just don't want any relationship until I'm ready.

I saw the film Casanova last night and it was good. My favourite quote is:

Inquisitor: "Eternal damnation for one night with Casanova!"
Nun: "Seems fair"

ha ha.

I really don't like Stephen, I feel bad about it, but I can't like someone I just don't like. He's too macho for me, and not as intellectually stimulating (not to mention not romantic enough!) for me. He's likes being outside all day, and I am an indoor girl. I like to read, not go kayaking. I like to read nonfiction/philosophy books, not fiction. I like opera, not indie rock. I like Dawkins, he doesn't even know who Dawkins is! We have nothing in common at all. I'm not even attracted to him. That would have been something at least.

Slightly bad news. Jeff apparently really likes me. He wrote me a text message last night, "you are the nicest person I've ever met." I'm scared. I was just trying to have fun by seeing a movie with him and now he likes me. I don't feel...anything for him. I am devoid of emotion for him. Sorry! At least Knocked Up was really funny. I just didn't appreciate the fact that he bought the my ticket and a bottle of water for me - now I feel compromised- or does that not exist anymore? Also, he's younger than me- I don't want to date a man younger than me. Goodness, I'm looking for a more mature man!

I mowed the lawn today and now everything looks good. Before that I went for a jog and since I only wore an exercise bra and shorts, I was bitten on the stomach by a mosquito. I hate mosquitos. Two days ago I wore a skirt and I was driving and my left leg was bitten NINE times by one mosquito or several. It looks like I got the chicken pox again!

I'm trying to get two round-trip tickets for this Tuesday from Orlando to Philadelphia. Southwest is $560 for what I'm looking for and that's still quite steep.

About the bellydance audition, I called them yesterday and found out that there is a height requirement of 5 foot 9. So a tall woman bellydances better than a shorter one? Give me a break.

So, I'm gonna go to Rave in Viera tonight to see Knocked up with Jeff. Guys are interested in me, and i'm going to go out with them, because I feel better doing that. I hate being alone.

I'm through with all of you people my age always complaining about how bored you are. It just shows how truly lame you are. I mean, seriously, there is SO MUCH to do everyday. If you are BORED, think about why you are bored. "My parents are so boring"- you freak, be grateful you have parents! "There's nothing to do in this town"- There's always something productive to do in every town! "My life is so boring-" if it's so damn boring, think about what you really want and work to make it happen.

The rest was edited (deleted) to appease the masses. haha.

10 Reasons why Paris Hilton is total trash:
Current mood: cranky

A top ten as Letterman does it:

10) Her book, Confessions of an Heiress, gives her advice on how it is to live the life of an heiress. Oh, poor baby...

9) In September 2006, she was arrested for driving under the influence and subsequently sentenced to 36 months probation and had her license suspended. In February 2007, she was stopped for driving at 70 mph in a 35 mph zone and charged with violating her probation.

8) Her being labeled "an actress" after The Simple Life and tiny bits in crap films like House of Wax are an insult to real actors.

7) Her so-called "beauty" is not considered beautiful by most men. As one guy said in Cosmopolitan magazine in 2006, "Paris looks like an overcooked chicken."

6) The woman has no decency! Shouldn't she have made SURE that her ex didn't have anything that would make her look like a slut? (i.e.- the home-made porno!) I guess she forgot that one...

5) Her talent as a "singer." "According to June 2007 news reports, however, Hilton has been dropped by Warner Bros. Records because single and album sales did not meet expectations" Ok, that means that she's not a good musician. Period.

4) She will, officially, be named the World's Most Overrated Celebrity in the 2007 Guiness Book of World Records. Some may say she's a "saavy self-publicist," but in reality, she's just as common as your local streetwalker. Nice.

3) She came in second to Britney Spears as "Worst Celebrity Role Model" of 2007. And why not? Girls have developed eating disorders and have gone dangerously tan (cancer-prone) as a result of glamorizing Paris.

2) She encouraged young persons to vote in the presidential elections and then the media discovered that she hadn't even voted let alone registered to vote!

1) The #1 reason Paris Hilton is trash is because she has a beautiful exterior but a horrible personality, which makes her worth, well, worthless. Too bad many young guys out there are still dazzled by her cliche dumb blonde persona.

Let me describe what I have always wanted. I want to live with a man whom I could love and who could love me in return, in a house with a garden, preferably one with roses. I want a sweet, happy life. I want a traditional sort of life (non-religious, though!). I want to have a respectable life and be devoted to one man always.
Like this:

Perhaps I am too old-fashioned, I don't know. Anyway, it doesn't seem likely in this modern world. I really wish I could have been born in another time sometimes!

Wow! Sarah Brightman's music producer just replied to one of my questions on the board! woooo hoooooo. *he's the guy behind Enigma, Gregorian, and Sarah Brightman's newest music!*

I'm listening to NPR's Sunday Baroque and am I enjoying it heartily. I just called my aunt in Chile, she has a cold and everyone there is suffering from freezing weather (when it's summer in the northern hemisphere, it's winter in the southern hemisphere). I think that's pretty neat.

I've been working out like you have no idea. Intense bellydancing, ballet, yoga, kickboxing, dance...wow.
