it's amazing how many different meanings the intonations of "meep" can convey.

I'm at home, back in Tallahassee :)

And my semester is finally over... it took so long to wrap up, but it's all done. And the interesting things, I'll keep on working on, and the unimportant things will be cast out and trodden under the feet of men, like salt what's lost its saltiness.

I've felt really stale, as a person, for a long time, but I think I can fix that. I have a lot of ideas for how to fix it, and now is the time to make some of these happen. So as a result, I'll probably be a less-sucky person :) That's sort of the point, right?

It might involve reading more; I think it will. Also better concentration and mindfulness, better routines, more frequent sanity checks. Am I doing the right thing? What am I thinking right now? Maybe I can be better about dreaming, if I cultivate the right habits. Lucid dreaming, I've heard, rocks pretty hard. Being a body that does that "mind" thing, it seems important to be well-acquainted with that mind thing that I keep doing.

I found a lot of pictures I'd taken a while ago, like from highschool and the first few years of Tech :)

Also: sleep is probably in order.

::pokes:: Be well, Alex. And, um, you haven't responded to my comments or been around for me to IM in a while, and if you're avoiding me, that's fine, but if not, would you like to chat sometime? A friend today was telling me about Parkour (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkour), and it seemed like something you'd love. Links to videos on the bottom of the wiki.

Yeah. What eponis said.

Have a beautiful sleep, sir.

I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts about mind, thoughts, and sanity sometime.

Sleep is never in order, unless you're on vacation or something...

And lucid dreaming does rock, if you can manage to get into one. I had my first lucid dream a couple of weeks ago, and a second shortly after that, but I don't think I posted about it... Pity. Also, the whole deal with not being able to tell the time in a lucid dream is a myth-- The microwave clock in the kitchen of my lucid dream house clearly read 3:34. Now I just need to try flipping the light switch next time...

Anyway, I'll be flying back from my study abroad program on July 1st, and landing in Atlanta! Any chance you'll be around at that point?
