I am learning a lot this week:

The more I learn, the more I wish I didn't know. My ignorance of the stupidity of others was bliss. And my lack of knowledge of the plight of others certainly allowed me to sleep better at night.

No good turn ever goes unpunished. And some of the future doctors in Boston scare the hell out of me.

Cryptic? You bet. Sorry.

Ok, this one was interesting (and the picture is pretty, no?)


Your element is Water. You are a deep person and a
good communicator. Incredibably loving and
loyal when your trust is gained and you are
fairly mature.Myterious to the utmost water is
in everything. One can be an Ocean or a river
but nobody truly knows you.


What's your element

So Barbara's away message led me to this funky quiz. It's entertaining. Y'all should try it. I found it is a great way to avoid. If you take it, let me know what you are (cuz I am bored and curious!)


You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.

"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached
zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He
emerged from his own ashes, to be forever
immortal."

Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl
(Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum
(Egyptian).
The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life,
the number 0, and the element of fire.
His sign is the eclipsed sun.

As a member of Form 0, you are a determined
individual. You tend to keep your sense of
optomism, even through tough times and have a
positive outlook on most situations. You have
a way of looking at going through life as a
journey that you can constantly learn from.
Phoenixes are the best friends to have because
they cheer people up easily.


Which Mythological Form Are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

In this past week, I have discovered a number of things.

1. QDROs are quite difficult to draft.
2. Admiralty Law is not as easy as I thought it would be.
3. I am not enjoying the job search.
4. There is a good chance I am going to be poor for a long time.
5. Donating platelets is not hard, is mildly enjoyable, and gives you warm tickly feelings for doing something good.
5a. Anti-clotting factor is like a funky buzz.
6. I am in really bad shape, and getting back in shape is not at all fun
7. Volleyball is a great way to get rid of all my aggression and frustration for the week.
8. I really don't know how to read men.

All that being said, going to law school is potentially one of the most interesting decisions I have made in a long time. Note: not bad or good decision, but definitly interesting.

As an aside: Does anyone else mind that we have potentially lost a whole bunch of our civil liberties in the past year or two? Scares the crap out of me. I miss being ignorant...

Short Post. My week has been insane. Completely nuts. Everything that was supposed to happen didn't. OR it didn't happen on time. Damn the world. Ah well, the Red Sox lost, and that amused me. Sorry Red Sox fans. Cowboy up for next year kids. Maybe it'll be your year then.

On a happy note, my brother is in town visiting. We had a party here, kinda for him, and kinda cuz I never see my law school buddies from last year any more (evil second year of law school...) It was hella fun, and my friend's here all got to meet Joe, which I hope proved to all that I am really not the loudest in my family, we are all collectively loud. One gigantic house of happy noise. Ohhh....I think I may be a bit drunk, as I am rambling. G'night all!

I went home for 2 days. It was great. For 2 whole days, my time was my own. I saw friends, shopped, had meals at a table with my parents. I went to the court I worked in last summer and visited. I even slept a little. My brain was very happy. Then I came back. And the headache came back. and so did the work. **sigh**

Question of the day: Is it better to crack all at once under the stress of your life, or to slowly drift off into insanity?

Hmmmm.....

Today I got to discover the joys of writers block. I am sitting here, staring at my laptop screen. I have researched my topic, I know the law. And yet, I can't formulate a legal argument. This is beyond frustrating. What kind of lame ass lawyer am I going to be if I can't formulate a simple, cohesive legal argument?
