Dr, Jonas Frisen: "In an old person, the heart muscle cells will be a mosaic: some that have been with that person from birth, and there will be new cells that have replaced others that were lost." -Lauren Rediness, Radioactive, page 180, 2010
In this case...it's a scientific fact.

Definitions of Romanticism
A Long Overdue Post
Romanticism- according to Wikipedia Romanticism was an artistic, literary and intellectual movement that originated in the second half of the 18th century in Europe, it was a revolt against the aristocratic norms and was inspired by the industrial revolution. It validated strong emotion as an authentic source of aesthetic experience, placing new emphasis on such emotions as trepidation, horror and terror and awe—especially that which is experienced in confronting the sublimity of untamed nature and its picturesque qualities, both new aesthetic categories.
Romanticism- according to Webster:
1. Consisting of or resembling romance
2. Having no basis in facts
3. impractical in conception or plan
4. marked by the imaginative or emotional appeal of what is heroic, adventurous, remote, mysterious, or idealized

Romanticism- some random website: Whereas rationalism was dominated by logic and reason, romanticism is more emotional, less controlled
Romanticism- Sixth Edition, Handbook to Literature: Romanticism arose so gradually and exhibited so many phases that a satisfactory definition is not possible

Emotion be Gone!- A one liner
I worry everyday that all this patience is for nothing-but I keep telling myself to have faith. I only hope that the worry does not turn out to be true and the faith turn out to be false.

So...Angela...what the H-e-double-hockey-sticks?
Up until this point...and even a little now, this blog has been unfocused...all over the place. So you might have some questions for me, let me take a few moments to try and answer those:
So..is this a writer's blog?
It is in the sense that it is about a girl who likes to write, who sets writing goals for herself and hopes one day that maybe it will lead to publication and be her primary job. However, that is not all that this blog is about. It's more of a journey of what its like to live a life seeing the world the way I do.
Whatever happened too.... Applying to Columbia College Masters Program?
I never completed the application, was too scared to ask for recommendations and did not find an MFA a very practical degree to strive for when I would've had to take out loans to do it. I desperately want to earn my MFA and work on my craft one day, but honestly I have to make a living first.
Writing for the Eastern Echo? The simple response is I am not a student at Eastern anymore. The more complicated one I will try to leave simple by saying I did not find them to be a credible publication to write for anymore and while I loved seeing my name in print and earning a little income through writing (dream come true), I was afraid I was beginning to look worse in print rather than better.
Your Non-profit Certification Program at Eastern? It seemed like most non-profit jobs that paid well included asking people for money all the time...it not only isn't me, but also a lot of non-profits I had to work with through-out my class, not going to name any names, but I want to make it really really clear that I am not talking about 826Michigan, were extremely unorganized and I need more structure in my life. I quit the program with 3-6 credit hours left...who knows maybe I'll go back and finish it someday...maybe.
NanoWriMo? I failed. Yes, it makes me feel like a bad writer, but I will try again next time. I am confident that some November I will be successful.
With all that said, what's going on? I am on a day shift at a library and it is my first full-time position ever. For once, the stress of applying for jobs is lifted from my shoulders and I love every minute of daytime...NO MORE MIDNIGHTS!!! I also will surprise you by saying I went back to library school, only this time with a concentration as a Childrens' librarian instead of an archivist. I want to work with kids and teach them how to be resourceful and perhaps even love literature. I will hopefully earn my masters in a couple years.
In short, I am happy and thankful and more secure than I have been in years. I am sure the turmoil of life is not done with me, but I am happy to catch you up to speed and report that at the moment I am pleased where life has brought me.
