3:03 am - Huh, how about that?
|
|
Regarding that last post- I think I just experienced an existential crisis. I am on my way to stalking Ernest Hemingway. His life I mean. Minus the war and sexual impotence. Europe better have some answers for me, I don't want to commit suicide in Ketchum, Idaho.

2:56 am - What happened to soco-online.net and myfriendadam.com?
|
You ever just feel like everything you used to know isn't there anymore, as if everything had changed but you just noticed? I was doing so well, and then I realized my childhood is gone.
I'm glad I didn't sell my We Shot the Moon album.

11:37 pm - Yes, I know this is disturbing. No, I won't let that impede me from relaying the story.

Last week I went to the beach and got very badly burned, most notably on my back and left chest area. The burn on my chest eventually blistered, leading me to label it a second-degree burn for dramatic effect. However, I've taken very good care of that burn, applying aloe vera on it daily, so damage has been minimal. I had gone a week without a major incident, until now.
Earlier this evening I stepped out of my shower and proceeded to dry myself. I noticed some oddly shapped water droplets on my burn and tried to wipe them off, to no avail. I acquired a quizzical look and tried again. Nothing. Magic? Evil? Hallucination? I decide since my towel is not up to Shamwow standards it must not be able to absorb oddly shaped water droplets, so I go to brush them off with my hand. That's when I notice the droplets are protected by a layer of strange material. And that's when it hits me.
Water had seeped into my blisters. I had become human bubblewrap.
A flood of disturbing images and ideas poured into my brain, but I'll show some restraint and not share them. The question is, did I proceed to pop them? Bubblewrap is my favorite iPhone application.
I hope to one day become a sarcastic columnist.

8:41 pm - Great, or maybe we could go somewhere and just eat a bunch of caramels.
|
Today, I watched Good Will Hunting for the first time during a thunderstorm. It was one of the best coincidences to happen in a while.
Today, I was officially accepted to the University of Kent. That's it. I'm leaving. I am moving across the ocean to the remnants of one of the greatest empires the world has seen, right in the middle of their economic meltdown. Great timing on my part, as always.
Today, I finally feel at ease.
Today, I'm going to finish reading Everything is Illuminated.
I miss writing. I miss playing the piano. I'm going to miss everybody so much.

12:09 am - Nobody told me why it was bittersweet.
|
Today started out great. I skipped Psychology and slept in, did not encounter too much traffic going to school and got to English on time to turn in my term paper. I had done it. Every stressful part of the week was over. And then, for some inexplicable reason, I was sick of everything. And I was annoyed with everything. Defense mechanism? I'm no where near the fittest.
I'm wearing my "Squeeze me, I'm Organic!" t-shirt from our project.

9:43 pm - They did not think this name all the way through.
|
Achilles Construction Company, I would never knowingly be in the vicinity of your work. Who knows, the pebble I kick that hits the corner back wall could cause complete destruction.
There's a hot fudge cake awaiting me once I survive this week.
I raced the thunderstorm all the way home yesterday. It won.

8:40 pm - I never get to have any fun.
|
I got an email from NBC asking me to participate in a survey about the soap opera Days of Our Lives. My mom watches it, and since this seemed like a this-show-might-get-cancelled-unless-we-can-prove-there's-an-audience survey, I decided to take one for the team and sit through it.
The first question was: "Are you a male or female?" At this point I decide I'm going to screw with these people and pick outrageous and outlandish answers. Now I'm excited. I inform them that I am a male and click submit.
"This concludes our survey. Thank you for participating."
It's like they knew. Stupid Patriot Act.

My cat and I were in what I thought was an intense staring contest. Until he suddenly fell asleep.

6:55 pm - Walmart brings people together.
|
The guy in front of me at the cash register was very tall, wearing all black, with vibrant blue eyes and was buying Resident Evil, hedge clippers, a garden pick, and a flashlight.
As I was walking out a Jet Tours bus pulls up, for some unknown reason, and the crowd is predominantely Indian. Two assholes pass by with cliched tattooes on their arms and the one holding their newly bought PS3 comments, "It's like a bus full of terrorists!" Jackass.
A pickup truck with five Mexicans in the back drives by me as I reach my car and they all stare me down as I unlock the door.
My gang affiliated neighbors are talking in hushed voices when I arrive home, and all I hear is "You have to throw her down. Then you get them all in and then out."
This is just a normal day for me.

5:54 pm - It hurts my feelings when someone switches lanes to pass me because I'm not going fast enough.
|
I was just handwriting an essay in my notebook when I though to myself, "I better save this before something happens and I lose all my work."
I am not a fan of the effects of the 21st century.

4:46 pm - Jean Valjean has no business being in Star Wars.
|
I've spend most of the day reading Continental Drift for my English class, and I must say that I hadn't realized how much I missed reading. It's like a part of me was missing, and all the lost thoughts that I've had over the past couple of months seem irrelevent. I've discovered myself all over again. Some English major I'm turning out to be.

9:32 pm - It must be because of the full moon.
|

I was switching lanes on I-95 when I realized I could no longer accelerate. Scariest 2 minutes of my life? No, but I'd rather not go through that again. After having one of the roadrangers call me baby and sitting in a tow truck that smelled like Hollister, I was able to drive my dad to his meeting, and then sit awkwardly at the receptionist's desk while it dragged on for an hour. All in all a productive evening, don't you think?

2:09 am - I ran into a pole last week.

You brain ninja'd me, and now I'm second guessing what I do.
I can't stop listening to Razia's Shadow. If it's not playing on my stereo or iTunes, it's playing through my head. I would love to make it stop except I love the songs. Tear those lamps to the ground, let them cry their eyes out. Probably not the happiest thought.
I have a special gift, but they still treat me like I'm a kid. It hurts so bad, with a knife in your back.
Oh and I was unofficially accepted to the University of Essex in England. Hello, life-altering decision. It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

8:59 pm - Is it normal that I guage time by celebrities' children?
|
Brangelina's daughter Shiloh is 3, and when I read that it had quite the impact on me. I can't believe that little girl was born three years ago, it feels like last year. My brother and I got into a spat in the car today because he claimed the Coldplay CD came out in summer, and that seems too long ago for me. Where is my life going? Maybe I should send a bounty hunter after it. Just not Keira Knightely.

My procrastination is out of control. I haven't done any homework, readings, essays, or preparations for any class. It's already coming back to haunt me. I'm just so tired all the time, and extra un-motivated. What's a girl to do? I don't know anyone with ADD.

In 1970, television newsman Christine Hubbock announced, "In keeping with Channel 40's policy of always bringing you the latest in gore and guts in living color, you're about to see another first - an attempted suicide". Then she pulled out a gun and fatally shot herself in the head.

9:07 pm - Britney Spears was considered for the role of Allie in "The Notebook"
|
Today has been an off day. It didn't feel like it at first, but then I tried washing my face with conditioner.
I had a pretty amazing week. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button lived up to all expectations (as I thought it would). I regret calling Brad Pitt a horrible actor, and ugly to boot [I compared him to Billy from "Rolie Polie Olie" (yes I know that was a strange comparison, you don't have to point it out-- he had a very square chest in Troy. And I was trying to be a nonconformist)]. I FINALLY SAW THE ALL-AMERICAN REJECTS IN CONCERT (yes, the caps was necessary). After years of endlessly listening to their albums (particularly their self-titled), I had the fortune of seeing them be hilarious and amazing, even if we were next to the stereotypical teeny boppers who only knew their new single ("ohmygod I just saw his buttcrack!"). And as if that wasn't enough to fulfill my life, I saw The Unborn (if you cannot detect my sarcasm, I'm sorry to say you do not know me at all. Maybe you should spend more time with me. Unless you thought this was a good movie, then I ask you to go un-friend me on Facebook). I also saw Doubt, which had superb acting. As an actual movie, it did not fare as well. You walk away as if you're missing something, or that you couldn't find something to miss. But that scene with Phillip Seymore Hoffman and Meryl Streep towards the end had me spellbound. The entire time I was thinking about everything I ever learned in my drama classes, and I was paying attention to all the subtleties of the power play. Honestly I would recommend seeing the movie just for that scene.
The air-conditioning was striking me for the entirety of that rambling paragraph, but I was too stubborn to move. Until just now when I gave in and moved back. I hope I'm never tortured for information because I clearly have a low tolerance for unpleasantness.
current mood:  cold
