And, um. I'm going to do the rest of that tomorrow, because that was way harder than I think it should have been. And this is why we review. A lot.

I really have no idea why my life has been so damn crazy lately. Also, if my body doesn't start bleeding soon I'm going to punch it in the stomach. This shit is freaking me out. As you may have noticed by the fact that I won't shut up about it.

So! No groceries. Which is good. This means I get guitar and Japanese practice in. Plus an actual healthy dinner instead of fast food. And possibly cooking something crap I need to cook the boy's dinner and wake him up. Bother. Um. Stuff and things. Okay, next up, then, is making dinner/lunch, guitar goes in here somewhere, and then editing and writing. Mostly Big Bangs. And then going to bed on freaking time my lord I have been so bad about that the past couple of days.

Hm. So, there's a couple of new folk lurking around this journal now, I might as well discuss a new concept ... okay, it's not that new, it's almost three years old, where the hell did the time go. For the past two and 2/3 or so years a couple friends and I have been doing this thing called Courtesan School. Because it sounds niftier than 'I wanna learn this and this and this' and it puts it all into a catch-all name. We decided we were tired of talking about how awesome we could be, and decided to make ourselves as awesome as we wanted to be. We did this in a threefold way: we laid out our goals in specific terms, looked at how we'd tried to achieve those goals in the past, and laid out plans with our previous failures in mind. Lather, rinse, repeat.

We check in once a week with each other to offer advice, encouragement, commiseration, etc. We picked Courtesan as a concept because historically, the women who are now called courtesans, had to be awesome and better at many things than most people around them, in order to continue to wield the power and influence that they did. And we've been doing this for about 2 2/3 years. We've gone from "lose X pounds" to "get fit, be able to do $exercise", we've learned... four languages between us, we've set small step goals for our hobbies like music, writing, crafts. We've learned new skills, confronted new social challenges. And we've tripped and fallen along the way. But we pick ourselves back up again, and keep going.

So, a lot of the time, you'll hear me talk about things in that way, I want to do this, oh, crap, I'm not doing this, well, I need to fix this, oh, there!, or you'll here me refer to CS, or checking in, usually on Wednesdays. And that's what it means! The More You Know /star

That is the most awesome name for that concept in the world.

... Thanks! XD

(Seriously, I have no idea what to say, so, thanks!)

And, well, we saw courtesans as being kick ass chicks. We wanted to be kick ass chicks. It seemed perfectly reasonable! And still does.

Please kick me in the head if I don't put up my CS update by Friday.

It's been lurking in my to post file and yet RL is being a distraction par excellance.

Yes'm. Heh, I know that feeling. I'm still eyeing LJ, not sure where to post, but at least we have the mirror comm!
