Dynamic Stall

So, gentle reader, I have been spending time with a lovely man. And I assured myself that, ha ha! I knew exactly what this was about, nothing more. I was confident I would keep my distance, metaphorically speaking.

Maybe I’m enjoying myself too much.

Poop…

Maybe he’s the reason for my lack of concentration issue lately.

I need to refocus. But I don’t know how here in NC. If I was in LA it would be an easy trip to the Sierras, Hollywood or to a museum. Here…I have nothing that helps me mitigate the distress.

Harummph. What shall I do?

Don’t worry, I don’t have hearts coming out of my head. I simply think about him more than I planned and more than I should. It’s caught me offguard.

It merely demonstrates the level of my loneliness here in NC, and how well he fills that void. Very well, indeed.

Besides, it’s a short-term thing, remember? Don’t panic, gentle reader! He will be gone soon and so will I - each to our different worlds. Vastly different worlds.

I guess the point of this post is to confess that as much as I wanted to believe myself able to contain my emotional attachments, I have succumbed to a smidgen of it. Just a smidgen.

No worries.

It’s all good.

Yes, it’s shocking…I’m human after all.

Since I have been given the opportunity to stay home from work because of Mr. King, I thought I would do a little reading on him.

I, like everyone else in America, got the brief overview in high school. But I have to admit I had never read nor heard his 1963 speech in full until today. And I was so moved by it that I wanted to share it with you , gentle reader.

3quarksdaily has the full text of the speech as well as a link for the audio version if you’re so inclined.

What? Senator? Yes, gentle reader, I am now an official senator of my university. And it’s a paid position! Can you believe it?!

How did it all happen? Well, I was in the right place at the right time, really. I just volunteered for some committees. I need some extracurricular activities for the grad school application when I was contacted by the Associated Students president. She explained that a couple of senators had to resign because of enrollment issues and would I be interested. Um…I guess.

Well, I didn’t really know what a senator did. So she sent me the information. It’s all pretty straight forward and sounded like something I could do.

I said yes. I’m officially voted in on January 18th.

I will be heading the Public Relations committee and expect to be quite successful in my endeavors. I may have to hire a personal assistant to keep up the blog, what with hobnobbing in cyberspace with foreign dignitaries and heads of state. Yep…I’m moving up to the big time.

So, please call me Senator from now on. Otherwise I will have the Secret Service guys escort you out and revoke your blog membership!

Please go here and read. If you don’t pee your pants then you can’t be my friend anymore.

Really. I mean it.
