rivervision - since election day of 2000.

Wednesday, 26 July 06 :: yes. i'm still here.

yep. struggling in my last few days here at home in eugene. the cat thing. who stays, who goes? fuckity fuck fuck fuck. but i'm looking forward to the decision being made and me taking off over the mountains towards logan. yes. i really am looking forward to the adventures that await me there.

i went to heart of now last weekend. nothing profound, but many touching moments. yes, many many. yes. i need to learn to count my blessings rather than dwell in the hard moments. i am a lucky lucky woman with many people that love me. thank you to those who i got to share those moments with. i have a necklace around my neck that will remind me of those. i love you all. yes, i do.

the truck is here. packing it tommorrow. maybe life gets easier? i hope so. anyhow.

i'm still alive, just gearing up. trying to see and hug as many people as possible.

seen at the peace vigil today:
why not preemptive peace?

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.
