To Do:

You know how sometimes, you just don't feel like doing anything at all? You just want to sit around, and not think, not read, and just not (wow, I just saw a guy wearing a black and white striped hoodie, and a black beret-type hat with a brim on the front turned sideways...that's incredible) do anything?

Today for me, is not one of those times. In fact, I have tons of things that I need to do--clean my room, catch up on homework for classes (physics, and Russian women...homework and journal entries this weekend for me!), go and visit people's apartments, etc. etc. It's all the things that I don't have to do that I really want to do right now though.

List of things Novel Wants to do instead of School:
-Go camping (technically, I think I could get this called "research" since I'm writing my 490 paper on camping and people's perceptions of it)
-build a huge pile of leaves (and I mean gigantic...at least as tall as I am, and twice that wide), and then take a running leap into it
-play on a playground
-hike the Y
-finish re-reading Harry Potter 6
-Finish reading The Princess Bride
-Bake Cookies
-Visit an old-folks home
-Do insane-looking interpretive dances with my siblings to the classical music we play on Sunday that's supposed to be reverent
-Take some pictures
-Make some soup
-Build a Tree-House (seriously, I've been trying to figure out the logistics of this one for about 2.5 years now)
-Fly A Kite (preferably, my dad's red-baron kite)
-Snuggle in front of a fire
-Roast marshmallows (again)
-Do the Crossword Puzzle
-Play Basketball with my dogs

Yeah...I'm just not feeling school right now. Who would with all the other great things there are to do in the world? Right now, I just feel like being done with school, and getting on with real life. Guess it's about time that I graduate or something...and time I get back to doing that school work.

I agree ... life is good, school not so much. I like the leafy background! It adds a certain level of increased charm to your page.

I like the background too! I should do something exciting with my template..,

Playing in leaves, playing on a playground, hiking the Y, and roasting marshmallows are always super. Or maybe I just love fall. :)

That's funny that you mention a tree house. Aaron wants a treehouse more than I can accurately describe without using my arms and facial expressions. When we were house shopping we found a house that had a HEATED and COOLED 1000 square foot multi-level tree house in the backyard. Aaron didn't care that the house was in shambles and wouldn't be livable without $20,000 in repairs, and also it was in the boondocks. We could live in the tree house for all he cared. We very seriously considered it.

I wish it was more like fall here and less like a slightly cooler summer :/ I want to play in leaves!

I note, with some dismay, that "attend Optimistic.'s indie movie night" isn't on your list.

I have to say that I think your new background and title bar color clash with the rest of the green on your page. It isn't working for me....

I love the clash.
