Whoopsy Punchki

I'm home for spring break and I left my camera at school, so no pictures of my tea.  You'll just have to trust that it's Red Rose and that it is wonderful.

So, down to  business.  I want to set some simple rules for this blog:
  • I will not write here more than once a day.  I have 14 diaries, for pete's sake.
  • I will have at least one somewhat lengthy rant per week.  Maybe the word 'rant' is a little harsh.
  • I will have pictures from now on (so no forgetting my camera)!
That's pretty simple, right?  I think so.  The entire purpose of the blog is this: I want to improve my loquations.  I am not very good at spouting out all my thoughts and I am completely wretched at organizing them.  I am meticulous, but I get lost and all the things I want to say become garbled in the swirling world of 'things that need to be said'.  Unfortunately, those things are exactly what disappears.  I need to learn to voice my opinions without triple checking my grammar.  I need to allow myself some imperfections, in hopes of gaining a fuller understanding of my personal cognition.  I need to figure out how my mind works and I need to learn how to express myself, biases, contradictions and all.


This is who I am listening to at the moment.  I really like Joanna Newsom.

I felt foolish today.  A few of my friends and I thought it was Fat Tuesday, and we spent (by "we" I mean Lydia, not myself) a good forty minutes looking for bakeries selling punchkis.  Guess what?  It's not Fat Tuesday.  Whoops.  Mardi Gras won't be held on March 1st until 2022.
