Shoulder angel




I haven't posted in a while, and I've been hoping that I would get some genius idea of what to write about so that the long break might have been worth it because of the great post I created. But alas, no such luck. Nothing exciting has really been going on with me. I am reading Ender's Game, which I really like so far. I am also starting a new quilt- a real quilt this time, with a design. And I've been going to classes and working. So, with all of that, my mind and time has been elsewhere. I am however, going to see The Dark Knight tonight with a bunch of catering people- I hope it will be fun. The pessimist inside of me keeps saying, "why are you going? You have homework to do, and you could stay home and read or work on your quilt or sleep instead." But then the side of me who feels bad for being anti-social says, "Marie, you need to get out more and put yourself in somewhat uncomfortable situations. Sure, maybe you won't sit by anyone fun, and you'll be really tired the next morning for class, but at least you're making an effort to be social." And eventually the positive, social side of me beats the crap out of the pessimistic side, and I feel very cheery.
I was searching in google for a picture that I could animate the idea of my different sides arguing, and the best thing I could think of was Kronk's shoulder angels. But while I was searching under various words relating to shoulder angels and Emperor's New Groove, the following showed up, and I thought they were...diverting. Remember The Tick? Yeah, I didn't think that show made much sense either- ticks saving people? Wait, he did save people didn't he? I don't really remember much about that show. and I can only guess that this guy is supposed to be an emperor with a groove. I don't know about that baby caterpillar though.
