Tuesday, 7 December 04 :: frankly, i'm sick of it.

people are deciding now that they can tell me how to relate and not relate to the whole world based on their feelings. really, we all need to own what triggers us, what causes us to do things, and we need to be aware that not everyone feels that way about things.

people really need to take what they tell me and apply it to themselves. its not about me, its about you. and yes, people in this town are straight laced, in comparison to other people in this town. just suck it up. i'm certainly doing a lot of it these days.

update: i called a friend about what caused me to post this, and really, it is all about our own individual selves. what i'm doing by caving and going to meetings and really taking care of myself.. i'm seeing folks that aren't, and though i certainly i'm not perfect at relating, i need a lot of work, a lot a lot a lot, i'm not as awful at it as those folks who aren't caving.

oh my. i'm a little manic today. feels kinda nice to be a bit too happy instead of waaay to sad. maybe soon i'll be happy enough to do my dishes and clean my apartment. after i get rid of this cold that is coming on.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
