Yes, I do believe that.
Just 'cause we haven't found a scientific explanation yet, doesn't mean that one doesn't exist.
That also doesn't mean that the world is barren/cold/soulless, etc.
I find science and nature beautiful. Understanding something doesn't make it any less beautiful.

If a friend asked you for some new music recommendations, what would you suggest?

View 504 Answers

Obvious recommendation is obvious: The Beatles. Everyone who isn't Helen Keller knows about them and has heard something by them. My favorite album is Let It Be, although they're ALL amazing. You can't go wrong here. (Similar bands: Rolling Stones, Simon and Garfunkel)
Eels. Not many people recognize the name of this band, but chances are you've heard them before. Or rather, "him". Eels only has one constant band member, Mark Oliver Everett, usually called "E". E writes the songs and is usually the main vocal. He has an amazing range, and his lyrics are always powerful and heartfelt. And his voice is kind of gravelly and badass. BONUS- they just came out with a new album! www.youtube.com/watch (similar bands: Bob Dylan, The Beatles)
They Might Be Giants. They have been reliably pushing out awesome songs since the early 80s, including a wide variety of quirky songs for their usual audience and a growing collection of children's songs that are entertaining no matter how old you may be. Their subject matter ranges from the mundane to the downright weird (for example, Piece of Dirt and Purple Toupee). www.youtube.com/watch (similar bands: Scissor Sisters, Weezer, Adam Ant)
Guster. This band pairs gorgeous folk guitar lines with some of the most creative (often bongo-centric) rhythms I've ever heard. Their lyrics are always intricate and beautiful, as well. www.youtube.com/watch (similar bands: Iron and Wine, Harry Chapin, Barenaked Ladies)
Rufus Wainwright. His lyrics are sometimes hilarious, sometimes incredibly sentimental, but are never dull. His voice is angelic, and his skill on piano is unmatched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmbQEQltOwM (Similar bands: Ingrid Michaelson, Sara Bareilles)

There are so many, but... yeah.

2009-06-03T16:48:16Z

Ahh, today has been kind of awesome, and I'm only an hour and a half into it. :)

First off, 'cause today is the second day of freshman orientation, my advisor had freshmen to counsel, so I got a "day off" from research. I'm not totally off the hook, I still had reading assigned to me. But, I already did it, and him cancelling the meeting gave me the chance to sleep until 11 AM today.
Now, I've been spending my time drinking coffee, listening to Eisley, and generally bumming around. It's kinda awesome.

All the same, I miss being able to visit my friends at a moment's notice (BILLEH and Jackie :) ), and I miss my family and my animals, and (even though he's only 45 mins away and I see him every weekend) Morgan. GAH.

I've been frustratingly shy again since I've been here, it's kind of sad. When I was back in my spring assignment, I was all alone and I really wanted to be near people. Yet now that I'm in my summer housing and there are people all around, I can't even bring myself to talk to my roommate. Who seems perfectly sweet, by the way. An adorable and eerily intelligent "Christian school girl " type, really. I'm sure we'd get along great if I could fucking SPEAK. But I have more chances to socialize coming up, tonight is an "ice cream social" in the lounge. I'm going, if only to get sweet yumminess in my tumminess. Lols.

As for the research though, things are going pretty awesomely. It took awhile, but I finally feel confident in what I'm doing, and it's pretty damn interesting, really. It's essentially playing atomic billiards. The experiment is approaching fast, I'm going to Michigan... a week from today? Maybe a little sooner? I don't remember whether we leave the 9th or the 10th. Hah.

That's about it I guess.

Why the fuck does my mind refuse to wake up?

Anyway. Today promises to be great, I can look forward to going to the Hibachi place for dinner. Yummmm. It's a very late birthday present for my mom.

I've been reading the book I got at Border's yesterday. I haven't really sat down and read anything that wasn't a textbook in quite a while, and it made me sad. I'm so glad to be reading for pleasure again.

Things are going good around the RI home base, although truth be told I'm getting a little anxious and bored. But, that happens whenever I don't have any classes. I don't know. I don't particularly enjoy stress, but my life is dull without a little bit of it bouncing around in the back of my skull. LOL anxiety tumor. But, I of course miss my boy the most.

I just can't wait to see where this next semester will take me. I've actually made New Year's resolutions (not really consciously, but it occurred to me later that they might as well be referred to as "resolutions", and they occurred to me around Jan. 1st XD). I'm trying to focus on ALL my classes simultaneously. I can't say I was a "slacker" last semester, I kicked the ass of my hardest class up and down Pfahler hall, but I did worst in what should have been my easiest class because I found the class so damn dull (and, well, I apparently suck at building circuits :P). So, I hope that I'll be able to maintain focus even if the lectures are a bit dry. I don't think that'll be as much of an issue this semester, but who knows. I also resolve that I'll be better with my money. I'm kind of proud of myself 'cause I deposited my check as soon as I found my license, and it's been a few days and I haven't touched it. I intend to keep that money there as long as I can. I SHALL STOP HEMORRHAGING MAH MONEYS. See, putting this in caps makes me sound more COMMITTED. XD

Yeah, I think I'm done.

OH HAI.

I just had an oral exam today for quantum mechanics, and I took the written part a few hours before. I already know how I did with the written (84, although he's adding 3 points- 87) and I aced the oral exam (LOL I gives good oral).
That's great, except I wasn't thinking and in my nervousness I drank assloads of coffee. Like, more than usual. I had 6 cups of regular coffee and 2 cups of latte. AGGGHHH FUCK. I am so jittery now that it's difficult to type and I can't even sit still. I think my brain just might explode. DAMN MY NEUROSES AND UNHEALTHY COFFEE HABITSSSSSSSS.

But, at least now the worst of finals week is over. Tomorrow I have 2 exams (kinda sorta), but one of those "exams" is turning in an essay I wrote last night and watching a presentation that'll probably last 30 mins at the most, and I have my Differential exam, a little less than half of which I do at home. Also, for Differential, I get to use my book and my notes. HURRAH. Of course, I tried to work on the take home part of the exam, but.... I SERIOUSLY CAN'T SIT STILL ENOUGH TO PHYSICALLY WRITE. This is... disturbing. Maybe I should do more decaf. XD

Also- motherfuckers at Jazzman's ran out of anything that I wanna buy with my excess meals. Fuckers. I love coffee, but if I spend the rest of my 10 odd spare meals on coffee, I just might fucking die of a caffeine overdose. Like, more than I'm dying of one now. YES, STFU THERE TOTALLY ARE DIFFERENT DEGREES OF DYING.

Make me a happy panda? :D Clickety click click.

So, yeah, I feel like updating again. I haven't in awhile, but I've been catching up on everyone else's journals and I kind of miss doing this, even though I never have anything terribly interesting to say. -_-

But, I had a pretty good break. It was relaxing (for the most part), and GOD did I need relaxation. Everyone around here has heard me bitch about my project and about the test that I thought I failed. I spent most of the weekend worrying about the test and OMFG about how I would get everything done by the end of the semester and not fail. While my project is still in the balance, I got the test back and I did very well considering I forgot everything I needed to know (LULZ HE STILL GAVE ME A B. I LOVE THIS MAN.) . And, yeah, it's pretty clear by this point that unless I do really badly in that class' final, I should do well- I might even get a B. That would rock hardcore.

As the semester comes to a close, though, I know I'll miss my Modern Physics class. It's been pretty difficult, but it's been so interesting that even though it's my hardest course, I pay attention and work so hard at it that I'm doing better in that class than any of my other physics classes (I'm sorry, but Stravinsky is definitely going to be my best grade. I really doubt that I would get anything BUT an A in that class...).

But, even with all the distractions I had going on, I really loved seeing Billie Sue again. We had a long-ass trip home, but we talked the whole way back, and then for a few hours before we fell asleep. Wifey, I love you like no other. <33333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333

It blows my mind that we've been friends since 1st grade, yet we're still going so amazingly strong. And, damn, it's great to talk to someone who likes my evil, cynical sense of humor and my silly, stupid sense of humor. Yeah, I have BOTH motherfuckahs. Be jealous.

So. Yeah. Fill out my Johari window, or I'll eat your soul.

Andddd, hopefully I'll update again soon. If not during exam week, I guarantee I'll update often during Christmas break. SO. LONG.

Hmmm.

So, I had my first missed homework of the year today. I was supposed to turn it in today, and I thought it was due Monday like these things usually are... oh well. I can't go back in time and hand it in on time, so I might as well do it and hand it in late and see if he's nice enough to give me credit, right? :D

If only the homework weren't being such an uncooperative stubborn cunt. Yes, I personified my homework and called it a cunt. WHAT NOW.

...
so.

I am SO frustrated with homework now, but otherwise things are pretty peachy. I has so much to do this weekend, but that overwhelmed feeling hasn't quite hit me yet. I has 2 performances, a "Music at Noon" and a Family Day jazz thingie. The "Music at Noon" could be a tad nerve racking... the others sorta screwed me by giving me the first part on the hardest song we're playing and I haven't practiced it as much as I'd have liked to. Ya know, homework and such. Grargh.

So. On another note.

So, this is actually slightly old news, but whatever.

Morgan got us tickets to a Weezer concert on the 27th for my birthday.

BE JEALOUSSSS. XD

But, in other boy news. I went home with him again today, and we went to dinner with his parents. Besides being treated to pasta puttanesca (always amazing), I actually mustered the courage to talk. About politics.
I'm so terrible around his parents- I get so intimidated that I don't talk at all (to Morgan or them) and my face gets really red and I start twitching- yeah, it's kinda bad. But, tonight was better.
I have to admit, though, that it's not like I automatically got better today- I'd seen them quite a few times by now, and they're starting to like me somehow. They hug me, and his dad calls me "cutie pie". It makes me blush harder, but it's a happy blush. X3

They don't do anything intimidating and they've never been anything but friendly towards me, but AGH just the fact that they're my boyfriend's parents makes them so freaking scary. AFD;KJLS.

But, it's so cute 'cause Morgan knows that things like this make me nervous, and he's seriously trying to condition me so that I'm less nervous- he doesn't haphazardly throw me into scary situations, but he'll make me do things like this and he'll be there the whole time to say things like, "OMG THAT WASN'T SO BAD WAS IT? :D *HUG*"

He made me call in an order at the Diner today 'cause he knows I fucking hate talking to strangers on the phone, and when I tried to pawn it off on him, he was like, "NO- I'M NOT GOING TO LET YOU BE THAT SHY! :D"
And, yes, that emoticon is totally present in everything he says. I swear to God, if I had to describe him in one word, it would definitely be "impish". That, and I think he's continuously smiling. His level of optimism is so fucking foreign to me, and I love every minute of it.

You know what sucks major donkey balls?

Having done about half your Diff Eq homework and staying up for several hours past bedtime to do so
then looking at it in the afternoon and finding out that you're doing the homework that was due 2 days prior. A;JKLDFS.
Now I have to do all of the next section. As Billie would say, ORZ FOREVERRRRR. D:

But, um, yeah. Otherwise, life goes passably well. My classes are very interesting and mind-bending, butttt, I've been doing homework seemingly nonstop and I'm still not quite "on top of it". And apparently I skipped my first Diff Eq assignment. Ooops. XD

*Sigh* Bad moods, very little sleep, and shittons of homework make me a sad panda. But sipping insane amounts of pasta e fagioli soup (made in my AMAZING AS ALL FUCKING GET OUT rice cooker, of course) and listening to Across the Universe makes me feel a little better. Maybe I should take a nap too? :O

Ah well. At least I can definitely sleep in tomorrow.

...OH SNAP I JUST REALIZED I DON'T HAVE DIFF UNTIL TUESDAY. OH JOY OF JOYS, I HAS MORE TIME AND CAN WORK ON THE MORE INTERESTING THINGS THAT ARE ACTUALLY DUE EARLIER (MONDAY). XD<33
