I thought after reading an old ('07) notebook beginning with the line in my subject, such is worth talking about.

It was the opening line in a dolphin (probably Lisa Frank 'cos I am into kawaii stuff, e.g. Hello Kitty) notebook. I had been excited over spreading my words through that notebook (it had lasted four months: late 2007, early 2008, and two months of late-2008 after I appeared to possess a few more of my mental facilities).

The Elections are coming up! (As they already have for France [hurrah socialism!] and Russia [hurrah... Putin!! SIX MORE YEARS])
I thought maybe of joining the United States Communist Party because of Stalin, Lenin, Marx, &co (I've been reading!), but I don't want to make voting overly complicated for myself this upcoming November (in just half a year!), so that will have to be a potential late 2012 development. I think that if I were to declare that, I'd have to have some OTHER ballot printed special and in the end, I don't want to cause a problem!!!
Socrates: So claims the atheist.

He who casts the first stone is the most guilty!
Socrates: *silently looms*

Anyway, it concerns me a little that any contribution to the Communists would NOT be tax-deductible. Not that I really need the tax deduction, per se, just that gives me the uh-oh-illegal-party vibe.
But it shouldn't be illegal, ipso facto! In the United States of America, one is permitted to hold any opinion, because it isn't Britain! Remember that huge conflict?
(And I have been hesitant to add the commie tag here too because I'd already ranted so much about it on DW, but that is WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT HERE)

My current plan: Communism declaration early December, y/y?
Feedback お願い！
Socrates: Wouldn't you be speaking in Russian and not Japanese, so that shouldn't have been a пожалуйста?
Socchan, this is LIVEJOURNAL, I speak in Japanese here!!
Socrates: Don't you want to get those Library books after your birthday about China? You're STUDYING Chinese history next term...
But I already know enough right now! Remember, Mao Tse Tung, Bo Xilai, Stalin, Chiang Kai Chek?
Socrates: Are you mixing up your nation-states? And is that spelling convention current?
Stalin is VAIR Chinese, Socchan. It's right there on Wikipedia, the most reliable source of current event knowledge!! And you know, Joseph is a Chinese name, aren't you as well-versed in etymology as me?
From Manchuria, amirite?

As you may have heard by now, Barack Obama (the current President of the United States of America) has shown his support of gay marriage.

This is an election year, and he is the only Democrat effectively running.
When November comes around, will he survive the many conservative votes of this country? The Republican candidates are many...

It IS true many presidents have survived for their full legal terms, um... I don't know what to say about Putin...

(I am neither for nor against gay marriage. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to have anything valid to contribute to discussion when you are neither for nor against issue x)

I have suddenly completed that insane course which has been my Life the past couple of months - International Relations - with a new understanding that I am either entirely fluent in Russian or I use the moderate amount of русский I know correctly at all times, especially when particularly stressed. (Thanks to a combination of the Russian professors and personal interest)
The Int!Rel professor is an immigrant from the Soviet Union - not from Russia! The СССР, rather... a Muscovite... maybe more about my opinions of him later.

The problem with Russian practice is that I am SO busy with Greek (and also Latin) right now!! My Finals in both of those are tomorrow after my oboe jury.

Can I safely disconnect the Classics (Latin and Greek and Ancient Egyptian and Sanskrit and Aramaic) from contemporary babbles (namely: English and German and Japanese and Russian and MAYBE EVEN CHINESE BY THIS TIME NEXT SEMESTER D:)?

I don't know if I have enough about the languages I'm less familiar with to merit them tags...

In any event, I have a sweet memory to share with you! ♥
( At 8am last Thursday... )

I left around 8:25, satisfied with what I had learned.
I prefer my Soviet magic-8 ball.

I am putting my Int!Rel study stuff here and putting in brackets what I'm imagining is implied. It seems to me this professor's English is good enough, although I am suspiciously using a little bit of Russian.

I'm saving this even if it's incomplete to make sure this typing wasn't for naught!

I hope the final two essay questions aren't on this test!!! I have a lot for the first three. @_@

This May I am headed to New York City - namely the international territory which is the United Nations Visitors Centre.

All of the people I invite have other plans or suggest other dates I don't like. I'm not the most interested in making an open invite, because I plain don't trust everyone at WCU.

I am going to rest just a little bit more because I have just been unable to sleep lately.

This is my LiveJournal version!

Cecilia of the PhD comic series has let me know it is acceptable to have existential crises now and again.
So how am I doing?

( AAAAAAUUUGGHH )

Officially, "I don't know."

The Finder of my MacBook tells me I need to recalibrate my battery every two months so that it won't do that weird shit any more that it had been doing lately.
(Ah... I think I've had Ct. Calcula for a slight bit longer... since around the time of writing Ct. Calcula!! ...which wasn't that long ago, was it? ...that was almost a year ago.)

Basically, what recalibration is is running batteries down and leaving it for 5 hours, then proceeding on with life!



PERSONALLY I'm taking all these books and movies back to the Library and getting the ones I put on hold... well, let me check to see if they're in yet... ooh, one of them is, the other is in transit!

Here is Victoria's Photography site. Build up her traffic or whatever xD

*busybusybusybusy*

My shoulders hurt.
I'm trying to relax them but that hurts too. (???? D:)
I'm going to try overnight and report in the morning if they're any better by tomorrow morning.

There may exist muscle relaxants, but I don't really have anything better than NyQuil.

Five meters from me, the protest to my sister whinging about my watching the third part of the Вoйна и мир movie which had been "STOP WATCHING FOREIGN MOVIES" was "But that isn't foreign - that's Russian."

I think I can live in this household a bit longer.

People keep bugging me - for the past eight hours or so - NO
