Has everyone just taken like an LJ sabbatical or something? Almost no one seems to be posting anymore and even fewer comments.

I'm "in class" right now. At the library. I'm taking three classes at ETSU this semester, one of which is Educational Psychology, and that's an online class. I think they may have finally gotten all the bugs worked out and we're taking a break right now. So I thought I'd write a bit. It's funny, the "class" is a combination Youtube video and chat room. One girl just posted "I need to take my dog out. BRB." I never thought I'd see such a thing in a college class.

One of the classes I'm taking is a literature class that I had before (when I was but a young lass of 20) and made a D in. Now I'm not making excuses (or maybe I am), but I would like to explain how this really was not my fault. I had a completely unreasonable professor who would assign hundreds (literally, hundreds) of pages to be read each night, and then give us a quiz on the most obscure facts. The guy I've got now appears to be a lot more rational and I've thus far been able to manage everything well. I even sported my dorkitude by piping up to contribute to almost everything he asked, much to the chagrin of my younger (and less enthusiastic) compadres.

Now I'm back to Ed Psych. (I first typed "Ed Psycho" which would probably be a good name for a movie villain.) We're "discussing" Piaget's stages of development. I could do this stuff in my sleep, so hopefully this will bode well for a good grade.

Speaking of my sleep, I must share this insane dream I had about Barrack Obama the other night. I dreamt that we were in bed (ummm, yeah?) and were apparently enjoying the afterglow. I was laying there with my head on his chest and I said something about seeing him again. He replied "now baby, you know I can't leave Michelle and the girls. I don't know when I can see you again, and you're just gonna have to wean yourself off me." WEAN MYSELF OFF HIM? Afterwards, we got up and started playing pool and foosball with his buddies, because we were apparently shacking up in some sort of governmental fraternity house. I used to have sexy dreams about Bill Clinton all the time, but the only dreams I ever had about Dubya were ones in which he was completely inept. Oh, no...that was real life!! Hah!

Anyway, I'm back to Mr. Ed Psycho now. We're moving on to Vygotsky's theory of cognitive development. W00t.

I'm actually coming back to LJ a bit more in the last week.

Hilarious dream, that! Clinton actually fondled my girlfriend between the legs and tried to get her to "come to lunch" with him but secret security were like "COUGH Sir, we have a tight schedule." Hilariouser. Oh, that scamp.

Mr. Ed Psycho

The twist is that Wilbur's been dressing up as the horse all along to commit the murders.

Yeah, I agree about LJ death... I think that a lot of people are taken by other things, Facebook and Twitter.. bah!

Of course, I haven't been writing much, either, but not because of facebook or twitter.

Also; Your dream = awesome.

I still read LJ a lot but just don't post that often anymore. I'm normally on Facebook but I come here when I have something to post that does concern most of the friends I have on Facebook (especially since my wife doesn't read stuff here but does on FB)

Max...

I've been a bit um, preoccupied. If you make it down Sunday we can fill you in on it all while we are enjoying the fair. :-)

However, I will be making posts a bit more often. I need to start providing "pithy commentary and insight" on architectural topics to increase my online presence as a means of getting more work... (that's a mouthful, but it is my goal ;-)

I am still here!! On face book too:)

but the only dreams I ever had about Dubya were ones in which he was completely inept.

Wouldn't that be more of a nightmare?

I hated Ed Psych: my class was filled with people who continually horrified me that one day they would very likely become teachers.

I use LJ for the longer thoughts...I like Facebook, lots of college and High School friends and Church people on that.

I am trying to hook up my laptop on wireless. I have it on next to me now, two Computers, LOL. But, I am having troubles with the wireless adaptor thingy...

I hope it works this time.


The dream about Obama and Clinton...chuckles...

At least you didn't dream about John McCain...or Hilliary...

I haven't been writing much due to various things mostly including a girlfriend who doesn't want much of anything written about her on the net. At this point, all I would be writing is political rants anyway. :-(

that dream cracked me UP!!

[ghost-light.livejournal.com]

I'm trying not to be on sabbatical.

Do tell more about your psycho class! :) Developmental Psych was one of my favorite classes.

Wow! Things are changing for you these days! I remember reading a post from you in August, when you sounded truly stressed and were thinking of trying some counseling to see if it would help. I am so glad you've gone back to school, and I hope the new house works out too.

What prompted me to look for your journal is that I was in Home Depot yesterday and I had one of those experiences you've spoken about, where another customer mistakes you for an employee. I was standing at the paint counter when a woman walked up, dropped a bunch of paint chip cards down, showed me her fabric from the curtain on the door, described what she had going on in the adjacent areas, then asked if her choice was okay. I was dressed in grubby paint-stained jeans and a very ratty tee-shirt. No makeup, nothing to indicate I had any design sense at all. Weird.

I loved your dream.
