Book meme
Hurrah, a good excuse to post something here! Thank you to the Storyteller for passing this to me.
You’re stuck inside Fahrenheit 451. Which book do you want to be?
To my shame, I've never read Fahrenheit 451, but I'm going to assume that this question doesn't require any specialist knowledge beyond the ability to imagine that one would like to be a book. If I actually have to be the book, I'd like to be a first edition of Virginia Woolf, owned by Jeanette Winterson. I think that it's fabulous that Winterson actually reads and loves and tells the world about her first editions. However, if I am just going to be the text of a book, I'd like to be Neil Astley's wonderful anthology of poetry, Staying Alive, as that would take me through the whole range of emotion and event. Also, I'd probably have a much deeper sense of rhythm and meter than I do now!
Have you ever had a crush on a fictional character?
No.
The last book you bought is?
The last book that I bought for myself was Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go, which I've written about briefly here on my Livejournal. Technically speaking, though, the last book that I bought was a present for my ex-step-father's birthday: Amélie Nothomb's delightfully dark tale, The Book of Proper Names.
What are you currently reading?
Lots of things all at once! In terms of reading for pleasure alone, I'm in the middle of A.L. Kennedy's So I Am Glad. I'm also trying to work my way through the Thomas Carper and Derek Attridge text on Meter and Meaning: this is apparently "an introduction to rhythm in poetry", and it bothers me no end that the title appears on the front cover sans capital letters. I'm also reading Marilyn May Lombardi's Elizabeth Bishop: The Geography of Gender and Lorrie Goldensohn's Elizabeth Bishop: The Biography of a Poetry. Who has been working from the same 'how to pick your book title' worksheet, now?
Five books you would take to a deserted island?
An edition of the collected works of Shakespeare (ask me later which edition I'd choose!). The aforementioned Bloodaxe anthology of 'real poetry for unreal times', edited by Neil Astley: Staying Alive. My favourite big Dorling Kindersley New Complete Book of Self-Sufficiency by John Seymour. Probably J.H. Prynne's Poems, and maybe Alice Munro's Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage.
Who are you going to pass this to (three persons) and why?
I'll have to find three readers first!

Hello from another new Oxford blogger. What are you studying?
Everyone has days when they are down, worn out, anxiety alprazolam and just not feeling all that happy.
That's OK, you need to have days like this, otherwise how would you know when you are happy. You need to have something to contrast your happiness with. What is black without white?
Even though you know that sadness (anxiety alprazolam) is a part of life, let's try to make it a small part of life.
With that said, here are a few tips to help you feel better when you are feeling down in the dumps. They are easy to do, easy to practice every day and they work!
1. Stand up straight, sit up straight. When your body is in alignment your energy can flow and when your energy is flowing freely, you can flow.
2. Smile! Yes, just smile. Easy to do and effective.
3. Repeat positive affirmations. Things like "I feel good", "Positive energy flows through my body", "I see the good in all".
4. Listen to some music that you like. It doesn't have to be anything specific, just something you enjoy. Certain types of music work better than others, but experiment and see what works for you. Studies have shown that Classical music and new age music work best.
5. Take some time out for yourself, relax and read a book, do something for yourself.
6. Meditate. Meditation is an excellent habit to develop. It will serve you in all that you do. If you are one who has a hard time sitting still, then try some special meditation CDs that coax your brain into the meditative state. Just search for "Meditation music" on Google or Yahoo and explore.
Our outside work is simply a reflection of our inside world. Remember there is no reality just your perception of it. Use this truth to your advantage. Whenever you are sad, realize that it is all in your mind and you do have the power to change your perception.
These tips will lift you up when you are down, but don't just use them when you are sad or anxiety alprazolam . Try and practice them everyday, make them a habit. You will be surprised at how these simple exercises will keep the rainy days away.
On a final note, if you are in a deep depression that you can't seem to shake, please go see a doctor. This is your life and don't take any chances. anxiety alprazolam
