New things:
It appears that I will be getting a green-cheek conure soon, possibly a yellow-sided; right now I am preparing by ensuring area safety, obtaining a cage, and researching, researching, researching. Currently I am busy replacing all Teflon and non-stick cookware in the Lounge with stainless steel to prevent poisoning, and also making a list of possible names. I am quite seriously thinking of Haleth or Finrod.
I will soon be putting a second cage of birds in the Lounge. Right now I am undecided between doves, finches, and parakeets: the benefit of the former is that they can be handled, and make soothing sounds, but the finches are certainly more entertaining to watch. Either way, I also need to get the cage for those soon, and then make a trip to the feed store.
I am registered for 20th Century Philosophy, and waitlisted for several other classes; luckily I am first on the list for most of them, and third for the other. It appears as if I will be taking yoga this semester as well.
I have been doing a good deal of writing, both fanfic and original, and have come to the conclusion that I am slowly acquiring DID (see this post). Also, as I am rewriting large sections of Genesis, the Gospels, and Revelations to fit in a fantasy/science fiction world, I am feeling vaguely heretical - but have decided that said feelings are because of popular conventions and not my actual beliefs of the Bible, so now feel guilty for feeling heretical. Besides which, it's fun. And restructuring a number of fantasy stereotypes from the ground up is also fun.
In writing my stories, I have also been prompted to debate the nature of life, the universe, and everything. My current question runs along these lines: if the soul is eternal, then did it not exist before life? And if so, then why bother being born at all? What value does it have? Probably I will post more on that later.
My friends are mostly gone now, except for the ones at StanState, whom I will hopefully be seeing next Monday at a potluck. I am debating the wisdom of trying to make new friends considering that I will be leaving in another year anyways. As of yet I am undecided. Perhaps I will simply locate my own apartment overseas and bring my conure with me.
