"It's a release party, in honor of release." - 'Notes from Academe', Eric Hoover
Hmmm, at this rate I could re-emerge as an internet entity after all. Let me get my notes. Ah, yes, here we are.
'Self-destruction should be faster than this.' If I recall correctly, I meant that I'm gradually eroding my personality. This was just before I bought Sennet's The Corrosion of Character for class and realized that that's probably what the book is about.
Also, I try to get good grades, and that's part of the reason for the above-stated erosion. So why do I try so hard? I'd been assuming it was to please my parents, but 'My desire to please my parents is not that strong -I am lying to myself.' If that's not a scary revelation, I don't know what is. I don't really want to think right now about what it might be that is really motivating me, because I'm guessing I won't like it. Have to deal with it eventually, I'm sure, but that can wait for Christmas break. Probably better for my final grades if it does.
So, I got angeled today. Forget whatever you may be thinking about that. I received a message, a very clear one. It was a brownie. I had been wallowing in self-pity and wretchedness, and God sent me a message saying, "Buck up, it'll all be OK. Trust me." This message came in the form of Erin, Caroline's roommate from last year, serendipitously carrying a brownie that she wanted to give away. And you know what? Everything is OK. That Lord God Almighty, He's a character, but you have to give him props for His timing.
So anyway, guess what I discovered today. I'm listening to it now. I had heard about it, but couldn't get it on my radio; too far away. Apparantly KAUR is also planning on doing webcast soon, which makes me happy. And for a while now, I've been listening to to KTC Radio, but I'm sure that's not for everyone. Shoot, it's not even for me most of the time. But this WNUR is good. Think I'll be playing this a fair bit from now on. "You can sing along with the radio on." Or the line that comes right before it:
"If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be wrong. Bye."
