   wootness????
ya know, woot is one of those words that has just randomly taken america by storm. i remember when we had one realy wierd guy in our class who said it, and now i see it appearing in our local university's comic strip. i mean, what's up with that?????????? that and "oooh, snaps!"
so yeah. today was the first day of class, and i'm excited because this is my first year out of uniform. yeah. choosing clothes each morning, i'm like wtf, mate?

does anyone other than me really love the smell of old buildings???? (i know that didn't make any sor of sense, but if you go to school where i do you'd get it) i think the scent is so wonderful. it's kinda decaying and dusty--something old that was once beautiful and thus needing to be respected--like Minas Tirith. (you know you're a lotr freak when you start using various themes from the books in metaphors for other parts of your life) but seriously, that and old books. i hold them, and i'm like all thirlled--just think of all who have held them before. did they like the book? where did they go, what did they do? who are they? are they grown now? do they have a family? what happened in their lives? i was in the university library and randomly walked up to a shelf and pulled off a book published in 1902, donated by one of the community members to the school library. think about it! these people were the contemporaries of my great grandparents. people rode in horse and buggy and trolley cars then! one of the books was written by a local woman and published locally, in the early 1900s, and ended up being kept all these years, so that i can touch its pages. *shivers* wow.

"There is special providence in the fall of a sparrow."--Hamlet, Act IV, scene 2--it's like there's a plan to everything--everything works all together in one big web. no coincidences; all design. if a coincicence is seen, it is because the design is only understood by the designer, and we are not he/she/it.

*slaps the seriousness out of self*
anywhoo...

basically all i'm trying to say is that everyone should all go say 'woot' to someone today, and go smell and old building.

ps--can anyone tell me the meaning of the word "Represent"??? i've seen it on tshirts in hottopic, and people have said it, but i don't know what it means because it's not something people at my school said/say.
