Have you ever heard angry typing?  I'm at the U working w/ Shakespeare- I've actually found a helpful site on Twelfth Night- and this guy is pounding away like he's pounding someone's head in!! Oh good, she's leaving!
Anyways, check out that link- it will give you a good idea of what the plays about, and if you've already read/seen it, it has more depth, too.

The perfect Thanksgiving morning:
Sleeping in slightly- it not mattering when I get up- it's leisurely.  I gaze out the window, and it looks like those miniature Christmas villages- a light layer of snow everywhere!! I've been waiting for this snow!!  This is the first time that it has stuck this year, and I'm thrilled!! It's really funny looking at the backyard, though, 'cause one line of arborvitae and grass is as greena nd untouched as ever!! It's as if someone spray-painted the scene, not going all the way to the edge!
I'm dressed and ready to go to my grandparents with my family, where my cousins are at.  We'll eat and enjoy each others' company, as only family can do!  (OK, not only family, but there's something special/some kind of connection w/ blood).
The drive 'home' was good yesterday morning- good weather/traffic/time.  I'm bummed that I need to leave tomorrow morning already!! But having a job is good.
No matter how you spend your 'Thanksgiving,' make sure to take some time out and reflect on what you're thankful for (maybe even tell the person it concerns)- I know I will!

So what's new?
I've had a good weekend.  Now it's the middle of the school week!!  That's OK.  Since libraries rock and are one of the things I advocate, I've spent some time in them this weekend.  In fact, I currently have 11 books checked out- 9 for reports, 2 for pleasure.  Actually, I've been enjoying reading about the Bakkers- Jim and Tammy Fae.  Even though they got big, as in television evangelists, etc., it was good to read how they had to trust God all along the way- giving up everything they had more than once, and getting blessed over and over. . .
In a week and one day, I'll be on the road home for Thanksgiving!! It'll be for less than 48 hours, but I'm happy to be going there, and I know there are many that don't get to be with their family this fall.  Three years ago, I left with my dad on Thanksgiving Day for Amsterdam and Brussels.  It was so fun!! It's great making the most of the situation- a lot of airlines were losing business because of September 11 and scared people (sorry to simplify it so much).  Anyways, we got a great deal on Kuwaiti (sp?) Airlines and were treated like royalty!! In fact, we even got upgraded a class 'cause my dad asked for an aisle seat (he has long legs)!  Also, the movies were censored, and holding hands was blurred.

Song: She Will Be Loved, by Maroon 5.  If you happen to be in Australia, they are touring there this month.  I'd love to visit all the places they've been this fall- all over Europe . . . anyways,  choosing to love someone has been a big thing for me lately, and allowing/receiving that love- so it fits well.  note:
It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want
The lyrics also seem to be about 'Peter' in Win a Date with Tad Hamilton, which I just watched Wednesday night.  It was definitely cheesy, and appeared low-budget, but I still ended up cheering for the underdog (well, more of the friend, who appeared less cool because he wasn't a movie star- haha).  Anyways, they're 22+ but here is Maroon 5 again:
Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else
Today was my first day at Häagen-Dazs.  Aaron- interested in seasonal work in Spain (forgetting work permits for the time being, and all the millions of things to do besides work)?  Well, did you know that there is a Häagen-Dazs cafe in Granada, Spain?  And Minneapolis is the headquarters, so managers, etc., from all over train here?  I'm pretty excited about that!  Hurray, people!!  One last thing:  Häagen-Dazs is a Dutch or German name meaning 'heavenly days' or 'having icecream,' right?  actually, it is none of the above!! it is a name meaning nothing (or at least it's made up) by the founders- 2 Jewish guys in New York.
That said, good night, all.

politics, the presidential election, that is.  "No way!" part of me screams, but note the similarities:  eseentially, when the 'wedding day' or 'election day' comes, we're all stuck with him for a long time, but unlike marriage, we know how long it will last- 4 years.  At least in that regard, if he hasn't turned out to be what we expected, we can give another guy a try. (and I meant 'stuck' in the best way- maybe 'partnered with' or something)  There are a lot of emotions and hype w/ the election- and advice or opinions from practically everyone, which seems would be the case in a marriage decision.
In a previous post, I mentioned something to the effect of John Kerry being my suitor- that may seem somewhat like dating, but I personally have not had to sit there for months being wooed by two or more guys for my affections (or at least not to my knowledge :wink:); another difference w/ the day of the decision is that he doesn't start his term until 2 months later- so is it more like a 'yes' to an engagement proposal?
I don't know if this is at all interesting, so I won't add more points.  The idea for this came about, because now that the results are in, I don't feel much.  I felt a lot before now, and was very excited to see what would come, and now I'm just calm and OK with it, but I think I would be no matter who won.  I am happy with how today went and with how both Senator Kerry and President Bush handled themselves and each other today.  I think it is important to pray for the President daily and to look forward to what is to come.  I am interested in what changes will occur, what decisions will be made, and how they'll affect whom.  Here's to the next four years:  :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)  :D :)
