just finished Buffy, it's over. I am going to miss the joy of watching it for the first time. Stories are such an important thing to me that sometimes I am truly sad when they end. It's like losing a friend.

Taken from ninja_turbo

1. My journal is called cosmogonies, there's a phoenixy theme to it, thus the creation stories.

2. I have no subtitle.

3. My friends page is called "Things Worth Knowing" it is from Sandman. There is a quote that talks about the things that aren't taught in school. The things I learn from my friends are things worth knowing.

4. My username is drydem. It was adopted like 8 years ago from a fansub of the anime Tenkuu no Escaflowne. The character is a wandering scholar who always looks scruffy and has a weird sense of honor, somewhat like Me.

5. My default userpic is an adaptation of "himself" from the faerie oracle. It's energy I'm trying to bring more of into my life.

6. My LJ "name" is BEn. It's a typo that has become useful for distinguishing me from other Bens.

exile

So, I feel like I'm somewhat emerging from some sort of school imposed exile. I had nothing to do tonight other than some schoolwork which can wait and I realized that there is nobody that I am even remotely regularly in contact with. I had nobody that I felt I could call up. I decided to go get food and do work. Fortunately there was a turbo ninja available for some conversation, but I still feel like I've been isolated from the people around me.

it doesn't help that I've been thinking strongly about leaving bloomington. I mean, I still have a year or so left where I have to be here to finish parts of my degree, but that seems to be what is holding me here more than anything. I feel like the only time I really see people that I don't live with(who I'm quite fond of, mind you) is at movies.

In two years, the people will be dispersed.
