About me:
I'm a student of classics, religion and the media. I also do taekwondo, like, a lot of taekwondo. My blog is Blotts.org, and it's the best way to stay in contact with me. I'm MsBunburyist on YouTube, where I am in the process of reading all of Shakespeare's sonnets.

"The objects of writing are insane kings whose flesh has become indistinguishable from the amulets that cover it and the worms that devour it. The objects of writing are the dead heaped over battlefields, intertwined like a monstrous brain, and the dying, all of whose accumulated meanings vanish and for whom a large tumor rises in the brain -- like a sun that transforms the world for them." - Friedrich Kittler, Discourse Networks 1800-1900 (one of the more lucid bits).

Who I'd like to meet:
interesting people always, friends usually.

Mar 2 2008 8:13 AM

hello wonderful inspiration♥

when's the best time to call you?
Alicia





Feb 22 2008 5:59 PM

Haha who would have ever thought you'd become a sailor! I get out here whenever i can. I can take the school's little 22ft boats out whenever I want so it's nice. Mom and dad are talking about buying another boat again when I graduate, a catamaran I think.

So far just trying to get a job for after graduation. After getting a couple years work experience under my belt I'll apply for grad school. But I think it'll be a more valuable experience if I have some years in the work force.

Other than that I'm just on the countdown to graduation. April 26th!!! yay! It's amazing how our undergrad went by so quickly. Did you get into MIT? When are you going to be in this area next? Lets get together and hang out.

I'm thinking of taking a road trip to Portland sometime soon for a possible job. If that happens lets get together!
Alicia





Feb 22 2008 6:57 AM

Niiiiiice! Go boats called Sunflower. It was 43ft, Kiwi built. I think built in '86? Where do they keep their boat? How often do you go sailing?? what have you been up too lately?
Jim - Dad - Master Null





Feb 20 2008 5:39 AM

Congrats!! Another Black Belt to add to your CV!
Christi





Feb 18 2008 5:10 AM

Congrats on your Black Belt!! You guys did awesome!!! Your both going to kick butt at Collegiates.

Ah! That would be "Carrie [heart] BOT"

Feb 4 2008 12:03 AM

Practice did go very well (even if I was WAY outnumbered by the estrogen-based lifeforms) You are really picking up the material very well!

I don't understand what you mean by "linking you to my profile" You are already my "friend" I didn't know I could "link" you? I must be myspace challenged ;-)
Eira





Feb 3 2008 9:40 PM

LOL.

Also, I left you a voice message, but Julie and I are doing dinner at 7 instead of coffee. You're still welcome to join us, and I mentioned it to Ashley, too.
Eira





Feb 3 2008 8:26 PM

Good plan.

And we need a nickname for you, too. Start thinking, darling.
Jim - Dad - Master Null





Jan 29 2008 7:53 AM

Ok, so we have practice this Saturday! Plenty of time for you to bake bread!! ;-)
Jim - Dad - Master Null





Jan 24 2008 7:49 AM

Jim - Dad - Master Null





Jan 23 2008 4:52 PM

I thought practice was next week? Good to have you back! With or without the bread ;-)
Christi

Sep 27 2007 2:55 AM

yes, because i miss you so much, and i feel like a horrible person for not staying connected with my own freaking family.

your mom forwarded me the statement you read to your new church..
it was absolutely beautiful, and i'm glad that you've found someplace you enjoy so much. :]

Comedian Rob Black





Jun 15 2007 10:13 PM

Heya Cousin! Thanks for the kind words. Be sure to tell your friends about my Stand-Up video(s) on my page because my Comedy Troupe is planning on touring colleges in the fall and we need to make a buzz. Talk to you tonight!

May 7 2007 6:41 PM

nooo, it was gus, and sean, and uncle steve, and spencer, and even LAUREN..
think mob here, who wanted to hop in a car and arrive on someone's front steps.

THAT is what i'm calling a wee overprotective.
but their reasons were good.

so far, i have gone two days without any harassment.
i call that GOOD.
kirsten;





May 2 2007 8:26 PM

i really have no idea when i'll be up there.
mom wants to take me to visit a few colleges in "southern" california. UC santa cruz, cal lutheran, something about san luis obispo..
and then formal tours of Cal and UC davis i think.

either way, when i'm in Ashland for the shakespeare festival in july, i'm gonna look at SOU, and *maybe* i can just catch a bus up to portland, or something.
still have to figure things out, but im glad you're going to visit nick's family. :D

there's more drama unfolding with aaron, and i kind of need to talk to you about it.
i just need to find the time to call. i'm going insane with all of these migraines, etc.
and the usual rush at the end of the school year. ha.

how was renn fayre(sp?)?

Apr 16 2007 5:00 PM

Apr 6 2007 2:54 AM

whoa, whoa, whoa.
im talking SUMMER, darling.
unless you were planning on getting an internship (i have no idea where this thought came from..maybe you were talking about randal..)
most likely july-ish.
still gonna work?
kirsten;





Apr 6 2007 2:21 AM

so, uh, i have about 70-something saved up at the moment..
if i can get myself a plane ticket somehow, think i could borrow your couch for a week? :D

Nov 26 2006 8:12 PM

I'll tell her that, I suggested Reed to her recently, and she said something about it being of ill repute
Its that time of Year





Nov 26 2006 7:45 PM

Lol! Ellen's the most wonderful girl you'll ever meet, you don't have to worry about her treating me poorly. I think she'll be out of town for the christmas party, but she's looking at Lewis and Clark up in Portland too, so you might meet her next fall...
Its that time of Year





Nov 26 2006 7:23 PM

Hey there cousin o' mine, just thought I'd warn you that I might end up close by if I have my way. University of Portland is looking very enticing...
