strange dreams
I’ve had strange dreams the past two nights, and I remember them very vividly, which is also sort of strange. Both dreams had the same theme, reconciliation. The dreams were situated in the present tense. In both dreams I was reacquainted with someone I had had a conflict with in the past and the whole dream was spent making amends for things that had happened. Not exactly sure where these are coming from, but I think they’re important enough to mention here…
It seriously is frustrating when you lose a post…I guess I have to remember to save more often.
Basically, I was saying that I’ve been living my little fantasy job in my head. I thought it would be SO COOL to be the music director for all of the FOX or WB teen dramas…they always picked the perfect music for the moment…so, I’ve been doing that for my life this week…here are some highlights from "Leigh’s Life, Episode one"
Rufus Wainwright – I don’t know what it is
Ben Folds Five – Mess
Beth Orton – Concrete Sky
Sarah McLachlan – Path of Thorns
Sarah Harmer – Don’t get your back up
The Cure – Halo
Paula Cole – Me
Patty Griffin – Rain
Dar Williams – Better Things
29 forever
Well, it’s here…my last birthday in my 20’s…I didn’t think that it would bother me…but it does. I’m not exactly sure why, for the most part I’m happy with what I’m doing…I’ll get over it! I wonder what I’ll be like when I turn 39..only 10 years from now…AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Inflation
Hi all…I say ‘all’ as if there is actually someone out there reading my blog. For some reason I feel compelled to have some sort of dialog with my imaginary audience. There is this phenomenon with adolescents that makes them feel as if they have an inflated sense of importance (I think David Elkind talks about this) or that all eyes are on them…that’s how I feel right now. Instead of using this as a dump for my feelings and emotions, all of the turmoil going on in my life…I find myself MAJORLY self-regulating what is going in here. I guess I’m hyperaware of my potential audience because I have done so much research on people who are completely UNaware that the world wide web means WORLD WIDE…everyone and their brother, even your mother can read what’s going on…

These are two posts on the role of narrative…useful for my research!
breakthrough?
My objective is
to create a sound framework for understanding how teenagers negotiate what
Henry Giroux calls a “decentered cultural landscape.” (Giroux, 1994) Though the topic of learning and
cognition never appears explicitly in my investigation, this proposed framework
for understanding relationships with technology and the subsequent findings can
then be used to help educators and educational institutions guide the development
of curriculum and educational settings by centering their practice in a more relevant
cultural context.
wtf?
