Part 1
Wow, have I really not posted since February? Pah, this schoolwork.
In my absence, though, I have taken a bit of a step back, trying to reevaluate and see what direction I should take with this blog. Newsy updates? Topical posts? I'm not really sure. It's a good outlet for me, although I'm not convinced it's making me a better writer, but it still serves a purpose. However, a blog that I've been very taken with recently has made me think. Maybe I should be saying more useful things. I don't know.
Maybe I'll put in a little plug here: http://www.myideaofhappiness.blogspot.com. Check it out!
When I read it, I think, "Wow, great ideas! What can I offer along those lines? Hm, I'm not a mom, although I like to dispense mom advice from time to time (not really, I just enjoy discussing kid stuff with parents of kids I take care of), and I'm in a mom's group, sort-of...it's hard to explain, heheh. ;) I don't have much of a corner on the eco-market; many people have done extensive research of their own and shared tips that I benefit from, but I don't feel like I know enough about one thing to be able to blog about it. Or teach a class in it.
There. I admitted it. *Sigh.* I'm not sure where this expectation of myself comes from. I mean, it's not like people walk around asking you if you have weaving skills and if you could teach a class, right? But I think I would like be more crafty (well, more than not-at-all surely can't be hard, right?)...or better with plants or learn how to make poultices and stuff - isn't poultice a great word?
That's not really what I was going to write about, but it's been simmering in the back of my mind behind soccer and training and travel and work and, oh right, school.
Okay, part 2.
I seem to be having a lot of bad dreams lately. Not nightmares like when I was a kid, of the house being on fire, but still disturbing. Does anyone else have this? I feel like I'm a fairly calm person but my dreams are sure agitated. I think it's genetic, but it's kind of odd. I often have dreams of people trying to kill me or chase after me, or dreams where I have to drive lots or take the bus. Sometimes it's unsettling, these action-movie sequences out of the blue. I feel I shouldn't read too much into these in terms of dream meanings and such, haha, but I haven't watched TV in I don't know how long or any scary movies that I can think of. Maybe my brain just isn't stimulated enough by school. (Yeah, right. I'm taking one German, one French grammar course, and a linguistics course in English. Can we say masochist.)
Anyhow, I think I will go take up a cool craft or a cool instrument like the lute. Or perhaps I should start small, like actually paint the empty canvases I've had for more months than I care to admit, and make it pretty in this apartment.
With that, I'm off. I'll attempt to be more coherent next time, my dear and several (maybe) readers.
Adieu, mes chèr(e)s ami(e)s! :)

My dreams are always bad! At least the ones I remember...I've often told Mike I hate dreaming for that very reason. I'm glad when I wake up and don't remember a thing, that to me is a restful night of sleep! I hope the bad dreams go away for you. p.s. I've missed your posts. :)
I like your entries :) Everyone has their style of writing! I know what you mean though, about feeling like you should have a general topic/interest which you focus on to attract other like-minded people. I love reading the blogs of stay-at-home moms who share all these nifty tips and decorating ideas and projects... It makes me wonder how they have the time to do all that and still write!
Hope school is going well for you!
