February flojera...

Ahhhh, we have hit those wonderful couple of weeks of February that we have here in the Rogue Valley where spring seems on the point of busting out all over....right before the frost kills everything and takes us back to gray. But in these few weeks I usually get enough spring fever to set me behind for the rest of the term. Ashland is particularly nice as there is always a breeze or rampaging wind bringing that jolt of "wake up!"

You'll all be happy to know that I survived Valentine's Day. Actually, I had a very nice Valentine's Day, thank you very much, and didn't start getting bitter and cynical again until a couple of days later. I've been told that I sound very pitiful, buying flowers for myself and going to concerts alone, but really, Valentine's always serves to remind me that being single isn't actually all that bad and that it's better to enjoy it than to mope around feeling all lonely and junk like that (rise up, fellow S^5 members, and throw off these oppressive bonds of socially-induced feelings of worthlessness!!).

I must admit that I am a little tired today as I stayed up watching Pride & Prejudice and eating chocolate with a certain blonde cousin of mine, while supposedly studying for the quiz I just took in International Politics. We'll see how much trouble I'm in on Wednesday. Ah well, that's enough for today, I suppose, unless I go off on a virulently feminist rant or fall asleep drooling on the keyboard.

PS Thank you again to Bryan for being a sweetie!!!

Well Madam Min~ Good to hear you are alive and well, and didn't decide to become an expatriate (haha). I think this is a wonderful idea, and we all can ramble together. Life is crazy, Amelia is now three months (who knew I would be the first to have kids (I think)). We should get together and let the nerd herd ride again, Pheather

Hey Madam Min, Glad that you are back safe and sound. I am suprised that you haven't been too tempted to stay in good ole Mexico. It is beautiful here isn't, I hope we don't get the crappy weather (I know we always do) but remember that winter is over soon. We need to get together sometime, and you can see my beautiful baby (she is 3 months now), anyways I enjoy your rants, Pheather

*Snicker* Pride and Prejudice eh? You and a certain blonde cousin wouldn't happen to be ogling and salivation over a certain tall British man with dark curly hair, a surly lower lip and a tendency to leave his shirt collar undone would we? Speaking of which. Actually no, I’m going to change the subject entirely…Mwa haha.

I’m going to start up a site for the S^5’s because I feel there has been a serious lack of attention to our cause from it’s very members and far to much mooning about over certain untouchable, yet irresistible, persons of the screen, stage, and so forth and so on etc.. etc… etc…WE’RE SPINSTER’S AREN’T WE! Anyway, since you ladies were so nice as to let me join I wanted to contribute a bit but I need some input. What you like to see?

Weather sounds lovely, the kind of climate that induces fevered thoughts and irresponsible actions. “Mexico anyone?” *maniacal most malicious mwa ha ha ha-ing*

Lovies and sensible nods of understanding, Brinanicio

So, in my attempt to post, I posted what looks like three different messages. Man, this technology stuff is crazy, so anywho, have fun, and enjoy this beautiful weather/

A triple post. I hang my head in utter defeat and shame. Lo ciento mi prima.

Wait a minute.... What's all this "too much mooning about", followed by the whole implication that as spinsters we're not supposed to do so? Huh?! But...but umm... well..I thought that was an integral part of the third S of S^5... *sighs*
But a website does sound like fun!
