Hello dear ones,
-It seems that we have created a bit of a blog community among my English grad student friends; this is not surprising considering who and what we are, but having a place to rant, tease, explain, and generally "talk" in the way that comes easiest to most of us has become rather a lovely getaway from life in general
-At a church event this weekend (saturday, nov. 10th) I encountered a friend whose cancer I have been aware of for quite a while now. She has finally lost her hair. The moment I saw her, I had to leave the room because I couldn't contain tears. Upon reflection, I found my reaction interesting. Why was it that the loss of her hair brought home to me how devastating her disease is? I don't think that my reaction would have been so strong if she had been a man, and this led me to think that I associate how I feel about the women around me with their personal appearance. I think that this extends beyond cancer to more mundane matters, but I haven't thought far enough to articulate them.
-I'm not so sure about this Jesus thing.
-I am becoming more and more sure about sex.

English Grad students make sexy-hott bloggers. (For those who find my INTJ personality difficult to read, that was a sincere comment communicated sarcastically in a way that is attempting to comment on the way we sexualize the most non-sexual activities with our language).
I think our common baldy friend thinks that I am uncomfortable about her baldness because I told her it was a bold look that would take me some getting used to. I'm so (INTJ) socially awkward.
I'm pretty sure about the Jesus thing, but then again (INTJ's think that) anything is possible and everything is negotiable.
I'm probably not as sure about sex as you, but I am definitely way more sure than I used to be.
I laugh. Ha ha!
