< all that samsara allows | posted at 6:03 pm on June 07, 2003 > i just received the greatest sms of my life, which was 'by the way, michelle [tutor] said on tues, the class you missed, that we could hand [the essay] in to her by thurs...'.oh, joy - that cuts down my average word count per day from 1,000 to 600, which means at 545 words written i'm almost up to my quota! i've been so lucky - lucky that i now have two extra days, lucky that my editor had an advance copy of the far from heaven dvd that i borrowed for essay purposes, and lucky that he went to work on his day off due to deadline - otherwise i wouldn't've been able to get it off him. by the way that doesn't count as a mention, because it has nothing to do with what i'm not meant to mention... if you know what i mean. of course i figure i'll try and get ahead of myself and write the 1,000 i was gunning for tonight, complete with fake references and big long words. i turn eighteen and a half in two days, then i'll be closer to nineteen than eighteen, that sucks. i am having an overly heavy period this month which i think accounts for my shitty mood of yesterday. just as a side note. here is my rant for the day. i hate my name. hate it. actually, i think the sarah bit is okay, because it's pronounced sa-ra and that's not all that common, but as a spelling, it's much too common. not to mention my last name - it was prominent in the number crunch section of last week's good weekend as part of the 10 most common names in the white pages in sydney. so if you're looking for a common name, mine's it. google other people's names, and you might get something on that person. google mine, and you get stories by thirteen-year-olds in america called 'where's the beef?' (quite seriously, i have done the google). not to mention it's such an ugly name anyway... i guess it's better than samantha which is what i was called for about three weeks until a nurse pointed out that her cat was named samantha. but my mother was also considering samsara, which is the buddhist word for the circle of life and death - not good, not bad - just the circle. now that would be a cool name. those last five |
