I'm a hopeless blogger. I couldn't resist a blogrant. Sorry.



You know, thinking can be relatively overrated. Or underrated. Don't ask me to explain that. However, I was looking at the clouds the other day-- yeah, that day that there were still clouds, and they are likely the most creative things here. They have absolutely no problem playing. Playing around, that is. In fact, they do absolutely nothing but playing around.

So, I have decided that clouds are my new role models. No, they don't fool around! Don't dare think that's what I meant. They just play around, but they are in the serious business of existing and existing beautifully in the process. They're just ignored by most, 's all.

And then I tried to recall the name of the other category of clouds. Sratus, cumulus... Ah!

It's cirrus! It took me two months to figure that out. Why I didn't look it up, I don't know, but I suppose a lot of the things I do have absolutely no logic behind them.

Yeah, so cirrus.

I met an Italian fellow. He sold me postcards. He somehow knew.

We talked about clouds. If you stand or sit upside down on land they look like they do from inside a plane. That's about right, you know. More or less.

So, from now on, let's all be clouds. And if you don't want to be a cloud, that is a-okay, buddy. I will be fine making my own desperate attempts to be a cloud, and if you change your mind, you can join me later if you, too, know.

School was cancelled again today. Jessica and I were thoroughly displeased and complaining about the stupid buttload of work we had only about three hours to complete last night at about 9 P.M. when Myra so very thoughtfully called me to inform me that "the system" had just called her mom to tell her that school was cancelled (she did this because last week, when school was cancelled, I didn't find out about it until after I got to school).

That was yay, but I still have a crapload to do by Monday. I still did get to sleep, and that was rather lovely even though lately I haven't been able to sleep.

The storm had a relatively strong impact here yesterday. We lost power for about 5-6 hours, and that wasn't cool. It got incredibly stuffy in the house for obvious reasons. And then the power came back.


Otherwise, life rolls on fairly quickly. I've finished one of my college applications since I had to turn it in as part of the college portfolio, and I have done over half of the other.
I got a soggy UGA application in the mail. Some time ago I actually did debate applying due to my linguistics dilemma, but then I realized that I really loathe the school in so many ways and far too much to be able to attend it. So, we'll see how this all turns out...

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

I KNEW IT!!!! I KNEW THIS SONG WAS IN PORTUGUESE!!! I KNEW THAT WAS THE REASON I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND JACK CRAP OF WHAT IT SAID!!! I KNEW IT!!!!!!!
AND THEY ARE BRASILIAN!!!! MWAHAHAHA!!!
AND, EVEN BETTER, I NOW HAVE THE SONG!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAA!!!! *dances maniacally*


Explanation:

While I was in Italy, the song I am now listening to was extremely popular, but I was continually unsuccessful in figuring out the title or artist, as were all my peers there.
Today, Marianna e-mailed me with the title of the song. The joy!!!

You have to understand that this song has been stuck in my head for about two months. What was worse was that it sounded as though it were in Spanish, but I knew it couldn't be because I couldn't understand a thing it said. Therefore, I figured it might be in Portuguese, but I had no way to be certain.

HOWEVER, I now have it, its title, and its artist, so I was able to discover that the band is Brasilian, which confirms my belief that the song is, indeed, in Portuguese!

I am really happy that I can finally get this song out of my head, or at least relieve the nuisance that is knowing only the first two words of the chorus and not even knowing how to spell them.

W00T!!!
