Sorry it has taken about a billion years for me to post! It isn't that I forgot about our wonderful blog...how could I?...I have just been so busy that I haven't had a chance!
University is wonderful, but it is a lot of work.
Hmm. So what should I write about? There is so much! I finished reading Plato's Republic today...Good Lord that was a dense book, but very interesting. Wish we had gone deeper into discussing it tho- I feel very unsatisfied about it and have about a hundred thousand or so questions I would love to ask somebody, but maybe by the end of this year (or maybe my life) I will be so philisophical and wise that I can answer them for myself! Never have I been so bombarded with philosophy, and it is wonderful. My eyes kinda hurt tho...I am perpetually behind on reading, yet I spend about 4 hours a day glued to one ancient text to another.
Whoa a fire truck just went by so furiously! It had on all its lights, its siren, AND was leaning on the horn! Holy Shiza! I almost want to go check out the fire that provoked that!
Hmm right so probably I should say something of substance eventually...
I went camping this weekend! My friend and I...well ok so we were kind of more than friends but not really if you get my drift...were being the operative word here as, like all my encounters with people on this earth this turned out to be very weird. So anyways, we hitched out to this place called uhm....Cape Spliff? Meh I dunno...about an hour and a half from Halifax anyways. The hike was supposed to be about 2 hours out to a spit in the Bay of Fundi, which is awesome. Of course, we took a wrong turn literally 5 minutes in and had to bushwack 4 miles before getting back on the trail. At first that was kinda fun, but after 4 hours we were pretty fricken frustrated.
Right so we literally were walking thru blackberry bushes etc. and both look like we have been attacked. Eventually, tho, we did get there.
And it was really beautiful and very windy, and the cliffs were awesome and it was truly great, that I will say.
And I will wrap this up pretty quick but want to hear the wierdest part of this experience? He was being quite standoffish etc and then in the morning when we were packing up and getting ready to leave, he was just like "With my friendships, after a few weeks, they usually just...fade out. And this is done. There is no next time." And I was like ok. Haha, I didn't even really care in a way because I could tell he wasn't excactly interested in being my friend anymore...even tho we hung out a lot for the first few weeks here and got along really well and all. Just he is a very strange person in some ways. Actually, we have very similar personalities...very similar. Just aside from this. I don't ANNOUNCE to people that we are no longer friends when we still have to hike back from some godforsaken rock together! Jeez Louise. But I was like yah, I'm cool with that. Whatever, I wasn't gonna fight him about it. I was like, thanks for telling me, anyways. He said that he is very determined and has his goals and life and doesn't do anything he can't justify as taking him towards that goal. Which I guess is fine if that's what he wants to do. Of course, his goal is to change the world to an agricultural society, and has no in between then and now. Actually, our view of the world is, once again, very similar and he talks pretty much the same way I did before I went to India and I was trying to explain to him that the world is much more complicated than he seems to think it is...not that I am an expert by any means, just jeez louise, and I thought I should at least try if he is going to restrict his life so much because of it.
ANYWAYS!
So, then he got like, super chatty the whole way back, which is something he has never been before, and I thought it was because he was like, feeling guilty and I was like, you know you don't have to feel bad, like I don't feel bad, I understand.
Which is true. I find it kind of funny tho, like I'm pretty sure that was the bluntest flat out rejection of my entire life...who does that!? How do I find these people???
So yup, that was my very strange hiking trip...it was still fun tho and I loved it because I got to go out to the Bay of Fundy and be in the forest and all those things I love and got rid of my cabin fever for the time being :D So that is excellent. And since I don't get attatched to people, I have already moved on with my life etc etc. Haha, really tho, I definitely see the humour in this situation. Esp since it is parallel to my roommates huge rejection this weekend...I won't go into it, but it was actually just as harsh! Hahaha,
well anyways I have to go edit a strange play and drink a lot of wine :P It's a girl on our floors birthday today, so should be fun...O Jeez uni is a gongshow :P
Anyways, love you lots! (directed to Robi, and I suppose anyone else who reads this, why not?)

Ewww that guy is surely not conscious about what he just left behind! I hope you wont take it personal, it cant be you, I assure you! Thats sad tho, not being able to stay friend with someone for more than few weeks, how can you get to know that person enough and get tire of him in that short of time? Whatever, maybe its just him, hes not that interesting enough.....but that would mean you hang out with an uninteresting person, which cant happen! ahahah
ReplyDeleteAnyways, Im happy for you, for all the fun you seem to have. Keep enjoying it! And for that Platos book, is it about the life of Socrate, before his judgment? Because I also read a Platos book, tho he probably wrote tuns, maybe I could try to answer some of your questions.....maybe!
haha, yah it was kinda about Socrates actually...it was a dialogue between Socrates and some other people (Sophists and others, only Socrates wasn't really himself...he was speaking for Plato. It was really interesting tho. Lol, hmm I'll see if I can even remember the questions that I had...how bout this...would the person ever refuse to go back into the cave, or does the light always make you more concerned about the good of others? Actually, you know what, I don't even know if that is a good question, I am so foggy but all questions are good questions, I think that's the point!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, life has gone on as usual...the "Abandandonment" is far behind me now hahaha....my roommate got rejected by a guy named Geoff (jeff) on the same weekend, and we now refer to it as the time of the Abandandonment (his nickname is Bandaniel) and the Re-Geofftion (rejection) hahaha, and this other guy she liked went for a girl named Kate (who apparently looks like me? but we don't like her so I deny it :P) so we call that CompliKatetions hahaha...good times :P
Anyways, I'll stop rambling...what is new with you? Did you make friends with that exchange student you showed around? Random question I know, just thought of it...
Anyways, bye! (L)
