If you don't focus on your own life and choose the direction you want to have, what's going to happen is, you're going to wake up in the morning and life is going to choose that direction for you..... 

Putting your life in focus means you put yourself in charge. You take responsibility for what it is you want your life to be focused on....

Anger is sick of malice poking its nose in everyone's business when malice is the one with no integrity whatsoever. Anger would say this to Malice's face if there wasn't so much at risk for the people Anger actually cares about. Anger has always given Malice the benefit of the doubt because everyone else does, but no more. Malice has shown the person it really is which is one full of jealously, pent up sexual desires and a cheating heart. Forget that no one will fall for malice's crap because the Emotions are actually good people, unlike you, Malice. I hope you find that someday the crap you say and pull and think is so funny will come back to bite you in the ass. You don't deserve the people who care about you because in one way or another you always choose your needs before theirs. You are a bad friend, a liar and a manipulator. Stay out of my business, your friends' business and pay attention to your own. You deserve whatever comes to you dear Malice because you pulled it on yourself. There is no honor in anything you do.

This is a picture of my new computer. The HP Mini 1000. It weighs less than 2.5 lbs and is for grad school and "I am a Writer" goodness. We named it McSweeney. My other comp is Kerouac. And thus proving what I said...I am a geek. Lucas was very proud.

So, I am having a bad day. I fell in mud on the way to Philosophy class where I then proceeded to spill a significant amount of coffee on myself. I have been trying to register since noon yesterday for my last month at Whitworth and apparently WhitNet is just not going to work for me. No really, I confirmed this with the registar's office.

So, now I will eat some pizza and head to the school library to write my second Faulkner paper (this time 10 pages) and I am grumpy.

But on the bright side, this is the last long paper I have to do (not counting the last one in 20th century...don't even get me started on that class).

I am starting to think Grad school was not my brightest idea, but the thing is that there I will be concentrating on CREATIVE WRITING, so therefore, will not want to go all Oedipus on my eyeballs.

What I did today (cause I actually feel like a slacker right now):

Went to 20th Century Lit, Social and Political Philosophy and TA'ed in Creative Non-Fiction

Read article on torture for above Philosophy class while drinking my soup in the F.A.B. Building.

Took Andrew to Karate and read "White Noise" during.

Hunted down my Mom and Dad after hours in the Sacred Heart Doctor's building after my Mom had a tummy tuck today.

Hunted down food for my Dad in Sacred Heart Hospital cafeteria because he had been at Mom's side and waited FIVE HOURS for her to come out of surgery.

Helped Dad get Mom dressed to go home.

Came home and applied to the University of Montana's MFA program in Creative Writing: Poetry.

Finished filling out, wrote the checks and stamped transcript requests from EWU, Whitworth and SCC to be sent to Vanderbilt, the University of Idaho, the University of Montana and Eastern Washington's MFA programs in creative writing.

And now...do I read more? hmm...
