My sosc professor on Adam Smith's conception of God: "Talk to the invisible hand, 'cause the invisible face ain't listening."

For Halloween, I'm thinking Noir Spider-man. What is everyone else doing?

[RkfdFencer]

Not likely to do much this year, too busy with other things. Probably just pop in some vampire fangs and hand out candy.

People keep telling me to go as a fencer; but that's not a costume, it's just who I am. (more or less)

[larkascending]

Ideally, I will not be in town to trick-or-treat on Halloween. I'm hoping to figure out a way to get to either ISU or Waukesha, WI.

I wish I were two months younger and eligible for JO qualifiers.

Fencing > Candy. By a lot.

On second thought, I have my first Sosc paper due that Monday. Maybe I should spend that weekend in the library :/ This is motivation like I have never had since that one time when we were going to Disneyworld for a week when I was in sixth grade, and I did a week's worth of homework in five hours the night before we left. Or that one time--strike that, all those times--when I left my paper(s) until the night before it was (they were) due.

Either way, I will start my paper on Thursday in Physics lecture.

i love it when 15% of my paycheck goes to taxes.

i'll probably repeat last year's costume (renaissance princess) because it's looking like i won't have time to get to a halloween/costume store before all the halloween parties i'm going to.

Then you'd love 22% in Britain (plus national insurance). And if you love that, you'd go crazy for council tax, VAT, car tax, fuel duty etc...

I had a dream last night that I died while I was browsing Fnet. Another Fnetter had died that day too. I remember being sad that I would not be able to do any of the things that I had planned for my life, and following my roommate around school because she was the only person I knew who could see me because she believed in ghosts.

My second consecutive night with a bad dream.

[pigeonmeister]

Had you watched:

a) Ghost Town
b) Ghost
c) The sixth sense

?

[larkascending]

I had not. I don't like scary movies.

[JackOfHearts]

The Sixth Sense was scary? O_o

[larkascending]

How would I know? I haven't seen it!

How is everybody's fencing going?

haha! I'm actually lucky that I'm not making that much money yet. I know a few people who end up losing 37% of their check to taxes.

I'm going to be twenty years old less than a week from today... D:

There's no way that I am responsible enough to stop being a teenager already.

That is exactly how I feel.

I'm a little more concerned about the fact that I have $6.27 in my checking account with possibly one check for $15.00 still to be withdrawn making me unqualified for adulthood than the playpen balls. Fencing seems to be bankrupting me rather more quickly than I expected.

Wow. You have $5 more than me.

[larkascending]

No I don't. Some old checks I wrote (big ones, like rent from over the summer) got deposited yesterday... So I'm officially in debt.

Spanish homework is easy to check. There are a million resources for Spanish online, like spanishdict.com and the RAE. It is nearly impossible to do the same thing with Kazakh. I want conjunctions, and I don't have any!

Outside of my classroom I can see a stone wall blanketed in a rainbow of ivy, and a tree whose yellow leaves are backlit by the sun so that it seems to be glowing. Another tree nearby is pink on top and green beneath, like a watermelon tourmaline. The grass below is dappled with light and speckled with fallen leaves.

Fall is my favorite season.

another long day...

Oh, what's this feeling I get... I smell a hobbit coming...
