			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I decided to play an eight-year-old kid today and fall and skin my knee.  At least I was wearing jeans, so it&#8217;s not so bad.  Though I did get my favorite jeans a little bloody <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' />  But anyway, this IS something I would do&#8230; what can I say?  I&#8217;m forever clumsy&#8230;</div>
<div>-______________-;;</div>
<p>On a completely different note, it seems like my fear of never finding a guy JUST might come true&#8230;</p>

<h2>The Sonnet</h2>
<h3>Deliberate Gentle Love Dreamer (<span>DGLD</span>)</h3>

<div style="display:block;float:right;width:500px;">
<p style="margin:10px 0;">Romantic, hopeful, and composed. You are the <strong>Sonnet</strong>. Get it? Composed?</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;">Sonnets want Love and have high ideals about it. They&#8217;re conscientious people, caring &amp; careful. You yourself have deep convictions, and you devote a lot of thought to romance and what it should be. <strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">This will frighten away most potential mates, </span></strong>but that&#8217;s okay, because you&#8217;re very choosy with your affections anyway. You&#8217;d absolutely refuse to date someone dumber than you, for instance.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;">Lovers who share your idealized perspective, or who are at least willing to totally throw themselves into a relationship, will be very, very happy with you. And you with them. You&#8217;re already selfless and compassionate, and with the right partner, there&#8217;s no doubt you can be sensual, even adventurously so.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0;">You probably have lots of female friends, and they have a special soft spot for you. Babies do, too, at the tippy-top of their baby skulls.</p>
<div style="font-size:90%;background:#eee;float:right;width:220px;text-align:center;border:#ddd 1px solid;margin:0 30px 0 0;">

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Why do I procrastinate so much?  I&#8217;m ridiculous.  I&#8217;m going home on Friday, and I have to turn in all my study abroad stuff in&#8230; which also means I have to track down random people to get signatures, etc.  And Japan&#8217;s whole visa thing is so complicated!!  I don&#8217;t know if it&#8217;s because I suck at this, or if it really is this hard, but&#8230; gahh.</div>
<p>On another note, going through this entire process has really started to get to me.  I mean, this means I&#8217;ll be away from home for an entire year in a country where I can barely speak the language.  In one sense, it&#8217;s really exciting, and I can&#8217;t wait.  On the other hand, I&#8217;m starting to get freaked out.  I mean, how am I going to survive?  I&#8217;ve always wanted to think of myself as fairly independent, but now that this is actually happening&#8230; I don&#8217;t know how true that is.  No family, no friends, and not even much English for a year.  Well, I guess I&#8217;ll just have to wait and see how everything plays out&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I think I spent a good hour trying to find a username that wasn&#8217;t taken.  And then I spent another half hour trying to pick a layout.  I was planning to sleep three hours ago.  I&#8217;m exhausted.  Having gotten through the day on water, ginger ale, and a few saltine crackers doesn&#8217;t help the tiredness, though that two-hour nap did, I have to admit.  My tummy is grumbling and angry that I won&#8217;t feed it.  But I don&#8217;t want tonight to be anything like last night, so I&#8217;m just going to have to tough it out.  Anyway, I&#8217;ve been up far longer than I planned to be&#8230; and just because of this goshdarn blog.  Sheesh.  So goodnight&#8211;or morning, if you want to get technical.</div>
