HAY! I just made the vast majority of my lj friends-only, which is very bizarre for me and the result of some unfortunate third-party googling. Anyway, my friending policy is pretty lax--basically just comment on this entry (comments are screened) and I will gladly friend you back. Be warned, however, that most of what I write here is flaily and/or verging on incoherent. HURRAH!

Fuck you, California. No one I know is a second-class citizen.
6-1 decision to uphold, CNN says. This breaks my heart.
I'll see you guys at the Sacramento rallies tonight. |

In lieu of studying for Anthro tomorrow (argrgrghg Levi-Strauss I hate your face), I was compiling a list of books I should read this summer. I've owned copies of Lady Chatterley's Lover and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for forever, and I keep meaning to read Lolita but keep not having the time.
Also: my personal pet peeve is when people spoil classic novels for me. I'm not just reading them to have read them, people, plot is important! Thanks for ruining the deux ex machina at the end of Lolita, TEA. (I'm just kidding. I sort of not-so-secretly worship at Tea's feet, and everyone should read The Tiger's Wife when it comes out next May) (COMES OUT!! NEXT MAY! !!!)
Anyway. So I'm thinking of borrowing the first Horatio Hornblower novel from the library (okay, not the actual first, but I cannot resist awkward mathletic prequels) and also actually READING Queen's Play as opposed to just carrying it around with me. I am looking for recommendations! I have at least an hour's train ride to work each day, and while I plan to use some of that time for writing (and sending the subsequent results to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) wow_katie, ehehehe) I also am desperately ill-read this year.
So! Books you love! I will pretty much read anything but I reaaaally like books about flush-cheeked rapscallions and/or dystopian universes where people get possessed by robots and fall in love. Or ridiculous religious commentary. Good Omens is my favorite book ever, which should give you some clue of my tolerance for ridiculous premises.
Back to Campbell's interpretation of the monomyth. As I gchatted to Bry, I'm about ten minutes away from just being like "I DISCARD YOUR ESSAY QUESTIONS IN FAVOR OF MY OWN" and writing about structuralism and narrative form in Harry Potter. WATCH ME.
Two down, two to go. agtrggghhh.

AAAH can we discuss how the closer exams get the more outlandish my procrastination methods become? I just watched an episode of JONAS, for godssakes. And I still can't really figure out the premise of the show other than maybe "Joe Jonas: Secret Girl" and "Kevin Jonas Carries a Man-Purse."

SO I went to Believers Never Die (Part Deux) last night, and it was SHAMAAAZING. Like, I love Panic from the bottom of my twisted little heart, but the Rock Band Live tour did NOTHING compared to this.
( fangirl fangirl fangirl I PASSED OUT! fangirl fangirl )
And then Alex and I drove three hours home and I talked for 110 miles straight (basically just retold him every story I've written this semester) to keep us both awake.
AWESOME!!! Now to conquer my shitload of work. WOE. BUT MOSTLY STILL AWESOME.
Also, someone told Ithaca it was almost May and it's been a steady 80 degrees and I am listening to Pretty. Odd. almost constantly. Life gets an A+ from me right now, for srs.
