I've moved my blog to WP: idefiningi.wordpress.com

incohesive (adj.)
Yup, that's my word of the day. The patchy sky with its spittings of rain is making me feel wobbly today. It's three o'clock now, and I realized that when a scrumptious vegan chai cashew bar can't fix your appetite for life, it's time to reach for the laptop and give this "blogging" thing another go.
Granted, my blog hasn't been the most cohesive thing on the planet, I think it somehow seamlessly illustrates my confusion in life.
I was recently accepted into SFU's Master of Publishing program - pretty fancy; the only one in Canada; my super intelligent and more-genius-than-me friend got put on a waiting list last year for it, and I got in, first try. I'm pretty thrilled, but rather than being inspired and hopeful, I am worried.
Maybe it wasn't popular this year.
Maybe they needed to fill spots, after a bunch of very smart people realized that BC's arts funding cuts will adversely affect the publishing industry - so what's the point of being in it? Let some other academic wannabe get into the program.
But, then again, maybe I'm brilliant, and if I work hard at it, I won't have to be accepting internships, honorariums and stipends; instead I'll be torn apart by potential employers who want ME to do IMPORTANT HIGHLY PAID WORK.
I guess where I'm getting at is that I'm in a very "incohesive" place because the world is just too uncertain and every path is a hard, uncertain one.
Hell, even as I write this, blooger.com wants to tell me that "incohesive" isn't a word. It damned better be a word! (Otherwise, why am I going into publishing?)
And since when did "blogger" make it into a colloquial dictionary before "incohesive" did?!
(Maybe that's why I'm going into publishing.)
