Goo strikes again!

Am feeling distinctly depressed. I don't know if this is simply an offshoot of being sick with the crappy lung goo, or the general slump I feel that I'm in. I'd be nice to get out of it, but it seems like everything I do simply adds to the anchor that's tied to my ankles, dragging me down. Damn. I didn't think things would get THIS bad...

Hmm. Heather sent me a message about going out of town/traveling--some sort of fax thing that I can send her free voicemail on. Hm. Wonder where she's going? This is what happens when you're horribly out of the loop/touch: a serious lack of information. Damn me.

On a happier note, am avoiding senior party and also am going to fanime convention this weekend--should be a fucking blast. Need to deposit my 300 dollar check from the sorority, however. (I spent it on general house repair stuff). Also need to make my costume. Google, here I come for "making kimono" instructions, whohoohoo!

Also, research must get done today. Hope people will answer my survey. blearg. I have no life, nor will I ever have one. I think I am slowly fighting this inexorable truth. Big huge blearg.

Allright, icky throat goo crap person has shit to do.

Damn, the Sheer Ignorance is AMAZING>>>

Its days like this that really make me wonder if I really am living sustainably. I mean, I have no idea what goes into the products that I use in my everyday life, (like shampoo, nail polish, beauty products) and I have no idea where my food comes from...plus, my setting is not exactly ideal for recycling or composting. I mean, what would happen IF I asked girls in the house to save their food for recycling and make compost? We could sell it to the other houses on the row as fertilizer...or even the surrounding community.

And I wonder if they (the other girls in the house) even know about what kinds of food they eat, where they buy their clothes...and things like that. It really makes me want to start buying only sustainable products...but how do I determine that measure? There's no "seal of authenticity" or approval for that sort of thing like there is for organic food. It also occurs to me that I know NOTHING about composting. Perhaps I should send Aunt Nancy an email...hmmm... food for thought, pun intended!

Which also makes me wonder. As house manager, depending on the products that I use to upkeep the house, which are sustainable? Is the paint that I bought for the back sunporch sustainable? It's oil-based... I'm finding out that I have such a GLARING lack of knowledge on the sustainable options available for my life that it really disturbs me!

yikes.
