Post traumatic stress disorder

So, I haven't posted in ages, and there is no real excuse for it other than a lack of motivation on my part. I'm perfectly happy to just lazily bum off of everyone else's blogs; yes I am a social leach:) However, it does take two to tango as they say, and while I am may not be at the top of the game when it comes to cuttin' the rug, I'll keep the rhythm and hope for the best!

I had a great time back home this weekend, with some pretty sweet bruises on my toes and shins reminding me that I am still alive, and of just why I love sock hockey. The weather was absolutely beautiful Saturday afternoon, and I raced World's Best Dog Sam down through the grass to the water, and looked out across the bay at World's Best Town Poulsbo, and thanked God for the blessings that I so constantly forget. It must be the spring in the air, but my limbs feel as though they are propelled with steel springs, my lungs breathing in the air in mighty gulps of pure sweet air! I don't know if it is just that I am finally old enough to appreciate it, or if this year is especially fragrant, but I can't believe the wonderful smorgasbord of tantalizing scents wafting about on the backs of the breezes. I might just have to pull a Ferdinand the Bull, and refuse to go to class, instead just reclining in a soft grassy field smelling the flowers... Sometimes oh so tempting!

Classes are even more insanely busy, if that is possible, but I think I am starting to derive some sort of perverse pleasure in the mastery of mind over body... Not that the mind is in that great of shape by the second sleepless night, but I think it all relates to some sort of feelings of control... Hmmm, just listen to me psycho analyze myself:) Really though, it is like the thrill seeking side of me just has to see how close I can get to that flame before I get totally burninated! Must be that Thanatos kicking in:) I think a change, a change, would do me good. In fact, I aim to turn over a new leaf, and am taking on the world of academics with a new and fresh resolve! So on that note, it is time for me to hit the hay. In closing, a quote from the most excellent Winston Churchill - "If you are going through Hell, keep going." Simple wisdom...
