I have a long rant about the concept of being a slut [ETA] building up in the back of my head. I honestly think that the term is completely outdated, and when I hear others get called it, even if it's a girl I don't know, I tend to get unbelievably pissy and self-righteous. I took a long contemplative evening after the party Saturday night, up until dawn, pontificating on whether a modern fabulous girl needs to give any consideration to whether or not she's a ho.

I apologize to the stodgy and judgemental ones who shall perhaps think less of me, but I honestly think it is the most worthless waste of my brain time, and am hereby cutting it the hell out.

Things I haven't done lately:

× Watched television, except the horrific Braves game last night.

× Knitted, even though I have at least 5 items in progress.

× Read very much, for almost a month after quitting Ulysses. Just starting to get back on track again, now that my brain has forgiven me.

× Slept more than about 7 hours on a school night, or 10 on a weekend. This may sound like a perfectly reasonable--perhaps even luxurious--amount of sleep to some, but it is bewildering to me to wake up at 10 or 11 on a Saturday, after going to sleep at 4 in the morning, and think: what a pretty day is laid out before me! I may just crawl out of bed and enjoy it!

I think all of these are related to being quite thrilled with my job and my house and my friends and not needing other time-fillers. Which is pretty amazing, I think.

On the topic of being thrilled about my company and how cool they are: I got a raise on Friday.

Another lovely thing: the pictures ghini took on Sunday. A taste:
