this song is called', 'i am sad, so very very sad'

Just as I was expecting, there's a huge bruise on the inside of my elbow where they sucked my blood out. I thought that wasn't supposed to happen.
Also, the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack is an awesome piece of music.
I've a ten minute presentation for Elizabethan and Jacobean Drama on the historical background of
The Spanish Tragedy. I am so tired of school its not even funny. I think I also have a French exam in the class before. Ugh. Sick. I should probably get on that.
Um. My stepfather's son is visiting for a week. He's been here for a two days and I've not exchanged more than four words a day with the guy. He's not bad but he makes me miss my own brother. Anyway, its his sister that I have beef with not him. We don't have the best history as last time I saw her she
tried to slap me across the face... but that's another story.
My uncle's other son is also coming up for a visit. That is something I am not looking forward to. To put it gently, views have changes, plates have shifted and harmony between my uncle and my mom is static and brittle. I don't know what's up with that. Well, I do and it bugs me but I know my mom will put up a front if she has to kick ass.
The English department at my oh-so-wonderful school decided to create a mandatory 'orientation' type deal for all English majors that need a tour around the department! There will be prizes and pizza! Like I need a tour, dammit, I've taken enough 300 level classes to flatten most people, but I'm going just cause there's free food and by the time that comes around I think I really wont care if its pizza or not. It's at 5:40pm today, same time as my French Novel in English Translation class. That's what its called... which gives a pretty good idea of how imaginative the people that pick the class names are.
I wrote a bit more - I have to send the pages to Jennifer in a bit.
ogni cuore
ha il suo dolore
If you're here, you've somehow managed to stumble across my blog. The word blog makes me think of snooty fashionistas in
New York writing about their later escapades in their pink Mercedes so we'll just call this the place were Ria (yours truly)
can spit out whatever the hell she wants with no responsibility or thought about who she might be offending.
Also, if you're reading this, you might want to know a few things. This is my fifth attempt at successfully keeping a record of my thoughts and doings
- after a few LiveJournals, a former Blog (if you peek around you might find it), and a few paper journals - so, I figure this might be the last chance
I'll give myself to write everyday - if not possible then every other day - about what's going on through my head.
N
o, you're not handcuffed to a chair. You may leave if you will. Go watch porn.
My basic goal with this is to try to flesh out the philosophies, memories, thoughts that make me - me.
Truthfully, I just want to write again. I miss it.
omnes relinquite spes
o vos intrantes
Nel mezzo del camin di nostra vita
mi ritrovai per una selva oscura
che la diritta via era smarrita.
Ahi quanto a dir qual era è cosa dura
esta selva selvaggia e aspra e forte,
che nel pensier rinuova la paura!
Tant 'e amara che poco è più morte;
ma per trattar del ben ch'i' vi trovai,
dirò del altre cose ch'i' v'ho scorte.
Dante Alighieri, The Divine Comedy. Inferno
and tonight
