2003-11-05 - 9:14 p.m. argh! i cannot get myself to work on this stupid research project. id tried to motivate myself by picking a topic that actually questions the value of having new writing fellows do research in the first place. but i have not managed to trick myself into academic stardom. the good news is that, through avoidance behavior, i am actually way ahead in all my other classes. im already done with the evil HW for tonight! im thinking of surfing the internet for possible places to live next year. chris doesnt want to renew the lease (the landlord is already demanding to know!), and i agree that we are paying too much. the two of us are trying to convince brian that we should move into a granny house way out on the northeast side of town. what is a granny house exactly? well, its one of those itty bitty, squarish houses with vinyl siding, situated primly in an ok neighborhood that doesnt live up to its high granny-like standards. it would be awesome to have a whole house, with a backyard and a basement and everything. it would have to be a really small house tho, with just three people, a ceramics studio, and blackroom. i just let brian read this for the very first time. usually, when he enters the vicinity of a work-in-progress, i scream and turn off the monitor. but this entry is pretty tame, so i let him read bits of it slowly, as i removed my outspread hands from covering the screen. my boyfriend is such a freak! he gets all in a bustle if i have my shoes on in the house. if my clothing amount and quality doesnt match his perfectly, he gets all uncomfortable. if im in pajamas, and hes in real clothes, i gots to put on some pants, know what i mean? interestingly, its always me who has to adapt. but ill allow him that one little oppressive quirk. im constantly harassing him as it is.
