Stolen from that darling Wytch that ensorcells foreign women's hearts:


If I were a month, I'd be... that blessed moment between May and September
If I were a day of the week, I'd be... Thursday
If I were a time of day, I'd be... midmorning, around 10ish, on a sunny Tuesday when everyone else has to work but me
If I were a planet, I'd be... disregarded by scientists as really being a planet
If I were a direction, I'd be... that a way
If I were a piece of furniture, I'd be... a Victorian chaise lounge

The Rest )

Wait, you wanted real content? Why? Oh, yeah, haven't been around.

The quick and dirty:
Drowning in jargon since first week of the quarter.
Finally getting through some of the worst of the work.
Have temporary lag.
Started seeing therapist on campus.
Started going to Campus Coalition for Sexual Literacy meetings (partly for my Independent Study project)
Had emotional upheavals, struggled through them
Had illness, struggled through it
Starting to catch up with mountain of homework
House slightly cleaner (for the moment)
Cooking more frequently
Started exercising again
Writing, writing, writing...
Trying to catch up on editing book 2, while people give feedback on book 1
Actually wrote a scene for Daisy this weekend!
Ana discovered a pond in our backyard, source of frogs, we're looking into establishing it as a preserved wetland (city wants to expand the road and destroy it)
Spent time each day with my daughter doing something together ^_^

Gotta Read

Sometimes, when I actually look at my friends list without a filter (factor in how many times lately I've even read that much), I love coming across a quote that inspires me to read something new. [livejournal.com profile] literaryquotes is a community I joined some time back, and this was an entry I happened to see before I switched to one of my filters (from here):

"Why does Rabeya wear the full burqa?" I asked Fasiq while sitting on the roof. Blunt hanging from his lips, he closed up the Qur'an and placed it on his right. Took a hit before replying.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, she doesn't wear it for the notion that it's sunna, we know that much... and she doesn't wear it because her family is really strict... and I don't think she wears it for some Islamo-Feminist gesture.. So I don't know why --"

Fasiq interrupted me only with a suddenly active, alert silence that felt as though he would say something. He looked at me and said it.

"Ever have a bad day when you didn't want people looking at you?"

"Yeah," I replied, "I guess so. Is that why she wears it?"

"I don't know," he said with a puff and then dramatic exhale. "But that's why I'd wear it."
