When wearing something as minimal as black sweater dress, a patterned scarf takes center stage and adds a dose of interest while still performing other duties, like creating illusory vertical lines. I also love how changing the way in which I tie the scarf. It allows different aspects of the pattern to shine, and of course my personality. I love my scarf. It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of gray + blue + green color combinations. But also I naturally gravitate towards yellow-green hues. I do love color. It describes the mood I am in and how much my skin tone changes depending on what shade of green I wear in a day. I love rich palettes. And somehow I feel a need to take out my oils and mix ultramarine blu, and cobalt blue together with burnt sienna and yellow ochre. I love how a touch of yellow ochre can change another colors "behavior." Oh, and never ever use Ivory Black as is. Mixing ultramarine blu and burnt sienna can give you shades and shades of black, depending how much you use each amount of color, of course.



And Staples, can you please have a sale? 100% cotton, white, watermarked paper x 600 is expensive. I am only a preschool teacher, I like to go on a vacation this summer, and have a life, and not save to buy paper. Lots of paper.


lol, I read this in a television voice... :p

I'm thinking that I'm a complete idiot for joining this dating site again. I think I have a better chance of meeting a decent God fearing guy in RL or even on here for that matter.:doh:

This guy contacted me and I'm not really feeling it. :doh:

You know what if a PhD can present a paper on Armenian identity in the United States and talk about the Armenian church, wave of immigration, and the Armenian Genocide, I think I could write about those things in my thesis. But, I choose not too, cause its not relevant to my study. Yes, its important to note in some places but its really not relevant. Why must every study I read on Armenians (by Armenians- and some non-Armenians, I was surprised and really interested people cared) mention these things? Yes, I did it too, to tie things up a bit, but did not give it sections...except the waves of immigration, that is important. How could I not talk about that if the title itself has "immigrate" in it? And you know what, the more I think about it the more I realize how much more studies can come out of my own study. So many things I could not do because I did not have the funds or the people to help me do it. But, really these are important things to talk about in literature. It might not be important to other people in others parts of the country, but there is almost a million Armenians in Los Angeles, we can't pretend their influences are not relevant. And how many of those are teachers?

Also, APA when you come up with a new addition, don't change it five times and expect me to buy them all cause you can't figure out what to do next. And graduate studies, you know APA says no retrieve date, you say do it....more work. Thanks, I guess.

Do you often do the whole dating site thing? You don't have to answer that, I'm just asking out of curiosity. I think I'd rather meet someone in real life. Helps that I'm generally more softspoken around guys, but at least it'd be a real person to talk to. Sometimes there's so much more in a conversation when it's in person.

Anyway, what's on my mind? Financial issues. University's about to suck the life outta me and I can feel that vacuum of starvation and lifelessness coming towards me. Worthwhile education kills, man!

What's on my mind? The irony of being able to sleep after you're dead. The fact is, when we get to Heaven, we won't sleep, and what a blessed time that will be. I hope that in some sense we'll be able to use the same skills and talents we have in our pre-Heaven existence to glorify God, without the added pain that sleep brings.

The last record that Guinness held for intentional sleep deprivation without stimulants is eleven days. I wish I could do that, since sleep is such a waste of time. All it's ever done for me is give me nightmares, cause complications with my health, and make me late for work. I hate the inefficiency of sleep, and my body's weakness for succumbing to it.

I'm about to be moving into a house of my own with me bro. We're moving to a University this Fall and are looking for someone to rent our house to. Turns out its cheaper to buy a house and pay for it monthly then sell it when you're done with it than renting an apartment or living in a dorm. Who knew :]

I am not particularly concerned with feminism. Feminism today encompasses such a wide range of views, some of which are.. well we all have our likes and dislikes don't we? I am more concerned with equality. Which in this current climate lends myself to educating people about the inequalities men face, you know, rates of abuse and physical and emotional violence. Higher rates of suicide and depression, increasing rates of eating disorders, lower life expectancy etc. etc.

But what I would really like to move into is areas of promoting equality on a community level. Starting by rearranging notions of family, and the ability to have multiple families (work collegues, Church, clubs and social groups), and how to strengthen those ties and build an expectation of support. Recognising abilities and disabilities in those groups. We're too focused on individuality and OUR rights. We need to start desiring the rights of others. To build people up. I just happen to think the best way (for me) to start on that is increasing the size of the family, well the notion of family. Once someone is in your family you start to think of them differently, treat them differently. Love them differently.

So yeah, that's on my mind.

This part reminded me about independent seats in parliament here, it's always a little worrisome to think about somebody, whom does not belong to a political party, sitting as a MP (member of Parliament) when they would have little information from other parties in regards to the next phase of any particular legislation; sure they would get the reports and information which may be leading up to any final act, but they would, more than likely anyway, have to work very hard to do a fraction of the work a party member would have handed to them from their team.

Sometimes, that seems to always be the case. Thanks for reading Cy and replaying.



I want to send an entry to Le Love. I can't write what I want to here, cause I just can't. I can't have people read what I feel about it, all of it. I want to spend my time counting how many book there are at the library, and waste another 3 years of my life putting them in order so that I don't think of any of it. None of it. I want to paint a 10 foot painting, but mix the colors so much and put dots all over, and over, and over. Pointless dots. I want to sit in the car and just drive, not worry that gas is 4.05 a gallon, just drive. Do I have that much money saved to drive to nowhere? What am I going to do after everything is done? I didn't plan anything, I didn't look for a job, I didn't apply to the other programs, what do I do? I have distracted myself so much, what else can I distract myself with to get over this? I realized, I didn't add it up right. Tomorrow I have 4 weeks left, and she still hasn't returned anything to me.

What's on my mind right now is my personal financial situation. I have a long driveway and want to get it concreted. I can afford it. Yet, my part time job is still up in the air - I may be unemployed next month. That, and I owe some back taxes. I'm out of the markets right now and don't like being out.

I keep thinking I should just wait a few weeks to see if I will still be gainfully employed before making any decisions.
