11:06 am	vacation...sigh THEY CANCELLED ANGEL!! sigh, I have no faith left in anybody anymore. Its just depressing, because what are they making room for with this, Charmed repeats? and yes, Angel hasn't been as good recently, but even on its worst days it still had more originality than most programming today..Gr. Also Joss Whedon wrote a really sweet note to the fans. This was read by me and directly placed in contrast to Aaron Sorkin's attitude to his fans, since coincidentally the episode where Josh rebukes a Trekkie in the West Wing was just on this morning. The atmosphere that surrounded Buffy and Angel was just a very special thing, and incredibly unique in Hollywood. And at the very least, for the time being, that atmosphere has disappeared. On a little happier note, I re-started Pilgrim at Tinker Creek, by Annie Dillard. She's so unique in the way that her writing is insanely dense, and I want to pull my hair out and scream while reading this book. And yet, I kinda can't help just loving her. Its that full body fascination with nature, which is extremely attractive to read about, I think. I want to be like that. Or at the very least, to write like that would be cool. (Except then the question becomes, can you have one without the other, and I have to stop myself from becoming too tritely philosophical.) But I think thats what good writing is. Fantasy is good story telling, and thats another thing all together, but quite often they're not very well written. I spent 15 minutes yesterday afternoon, lying on my stomach on the carpet in my bedroom. If I could open up that experience, and make it just as interesting as Lord of the Rings, I sorta think I would be moving towards contentment. god that came out trite Current Mood: discontent Current Music: Dar Williams-The Beauty of the Rain (Comment on this)

4:15 pm	Home alone ...once again on a Saturday afternoon-stuck in a rut Introducing: My (n)step program to saving the world. I've developed two so far, and anyone else with ideas is welcome to provide imput. 1)Everyone needs to stop being so goddamned self absorbed. Myself included. I know, its almost a cliche by now, but its so, so true. You subtract that machism, me first attitude from almost any major conflict in the world, and things just instantly become much better.The question then becomes, is this actually possible? 2) Everyone needs to stop being so afraid of sex. It sounds silly, but when you think about it, why is sex so taboo? Its natural. Eating isn't something you do only in private. Its like, this incredibly medieval attitude which stems from the idea that nothing so personal and enjoyable can possibly be good for you. And so much crap extends from people being so paranoid about it. Homophobia of course being the major problem in these current times, which has stemmed from this. Its an unbelievably time wasting thing to worry about, when there is so much worse in the world that needs dealing with. And yet, stamping out this "vicious disease" seems to be the thing that so many people are so concerned about. And then there is prostitution. Which is so obviously not going away anytime soon. But if it were regulated, it could potentially becomes so much less of a degrading, dehumanizing business. And I could go on, but I feel my ranting steam running low. God I feel so detached when I spend so much time alone. I went out to library earlier and I saw people I knew, and it was like I had forgotten how to talk. So I run straight back to my room. Its that vicious cycle of retreat. Off to really fulfill the hermit stereotype thing and write angsty poetry.

7:35 pm	Um, Yay! Well, I've bowed to popular trends and finally created my very own live journal. Hopefully, wih discipline and all that good stuff, I shall be able to keep it up. Not much to report on the every day reality front. I took the AP Eng Lit test, and possibly may have drastically overanalyzed the poem. Um, damn no lit for me. If you could see my face right now, it would drive you all to tears. Other things....met with Ms. Wiede, finally! I can't decide if she liked my poem stuff at all, but she did tear apart everything I showed her. Life is good=) And honestly, I cant decide if I made a mistake by bowing out of Scenes and Monologues night. I just, well...it was the safe option? to be cliche. I just didnt feel like putting myself through all that. So instead of acting, Im back in my room friday night, if anyone wants to come and take me out. Damn that was something of a downer post I'll trie to remedy in the future Love Rebecca I feel like I should be saying Shehechianu or something (which is the Jewish prayer when you start something new) (Comment on this)
