Which most definitely means that I have been procrastinating on my homework. But how much of the reading for psychology do I actually need to do?

Anyway, the procrastination is worth it. I had a fantastic week-end. Is spent yesterday on the Salt river, drinking and tubing with my co-worker and her friends. I got to know a lot of them pretty well (especially the boy that I'm a little interested in).

The only problem is that I'm sunburned quite badly in places. Random places, too, like the tops of my feet, my knees, and elbows. There is an upside to this, however. I shall be tan! Or, moderately MORE tan than I was before.

Moving on...I'm in the process of writing a story and a poem. The story is a combination of Hetalia and Oscar Wilde, so I've been doing a lot of research. Thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for Hayden Library's literature section...

The poem is something that I'll probably be writing for a long time, as it will take a lot of articulation of weird feelings, on my part. But I have a few little things...which are not necessarily in order:

He thirsts, perpetually, for blood
And for the sacrifice of himself
While she is full of hunger
For power and knowledge and bits of apple snaking
Their way down past ribs.

He feels the need to choose--
between the god he worships
An the war-ship of a wife
Who mythology, fertility,
Biology and psychology
Claims he needs:
Man by himself is nothing,
Not good enough.

He remains in the corner,
Nursing the bloody severance between
He and his god
While she marches forward
A love like that stems only from
A moment of weakness,
A state of self-pity and deprecation.

He's nothing without her
Paradise is anywhere they are together
Any space they inhabit is supposedly whole--
He, too, should be made whole by her presence.

All these little fragments are ABOUT the same thing...but that's not the order. And I'm having trouble getting out what I mean without beating the reader over the head with the Gauntlet of Symbolism (c). Anyway, that's it for now. I'm still thinking, still working on it.
