is here to last...
Shitty things about today:
- It's cold
- I needed my parents to (temporarily) bail me out of my financial situation
- I found out that my step-uncle had a brain aneurysm on his way back from Florida last week. The goods news is he picked the best place in the country for it to happen; Indianapolis has the best facilities in the country for that type of thing. The bad news is they couldn't get at the problem with the first surgery, so they have to go back in on Monday with a new procedure. He could recover, he could die... won't know much until Tuesday. Seems like everytime I talk to my Dad lately, it's bad news.
- Part of my permanent retainer broke off and I can't do anything about it until I come home. Now I have the pleasure of running my tongue over dried cement for the next couple of weeks.
In spite of all that, my spirits are decent. Parents will do that to you. I find myself reacting to some things people say in ways that I never have before. Desperation will do that to you. "It's only after we've lost everything that we are free to do anything."

I just want to bottle this feeling and return to it when I need it. I just want it to last a little while longer. I want this to be it. Not need anymore.
All I've ever wanted is to be happy and content. Simplicity is my drug of choice.
Wish you were here.

:: Music: Aimee Mann - Ghost World
so i'm bailing this town--or/tearing it down--or/probably more like hanging around...
That Aimee Mann song hit me today on the way to my lab meeting, along with the beginning of the last verse:
"And all that I need now
is someone with the brains and the know-how
to tell me what I want"
Today was a good day, but after its effects have worn out, I feel as if I'm close to another uphill battle. Life feels like a chore as of late; funny considering how little I have to do. There's many reasons why I might not be deriving any joy from life as of late, but if can be simplied by merely stating that I'm not allowing myself to.
Not giving up quite yet:
"There is truth, old friend, if that's all you seek. But there's no justice or judgment, without which truth is a vast dead hollow... Awaken the sleep of reason and fight the monsters within and without."
- Deep Throat, "The Blessing Way"

You know I've noticed something strange....
The more I procrastinate on writing papers, the better grades I get. My sophomore year in high school I started my papers weeks ahead of time and gots D's on them most of the time. My junior and senior years I started them a couple days ahead of time and usually got a B+/A-ish. I started my first paper for English this semester a week or so in advance and got an A-. For my second paper I pulled 2 consecutive all-nighters in the 2 days before it was due. The subject was the affect of place on the American character represented in early American literature. Which is why it required 2 all-nighters to write. But my English prof says it's best to start right away because "good ideas take time to develop".
I have a 15-20 page term paper due in a couple weeks. I'm seriously considering writing the whole thing the weekend before it's due. (It's due on a monday). Am I nuts or could I pull it off?

If anyone got a call from me late last night, I apologize.
I keep my cell phone on my bed because I'm too lazy to look for it when it rings and because it charges as I sleep.
Last night I couldn't sleep very well and lately I've been tossing and turning a lot.
My dad just mentioned that I called him when he was downstairs, asleep and in bed.
He called me back.
So if I called you, I'm sorry. I shall find a better place to put my phone.

Man, these last two weeks of the semester are gonna go by so fast!
I've got a German comp exam tomorrow and the project for German convo is due on Thursday. Our portfolios for English are also due on Thursday. Then conferences next week, or so says the syllabus. Martens will probably change that tomorrow.
Next week I've got a history exam (don't know the day or time yet) and a math exam (on Thursday), we get to make a cheat sheet for the math exam ^_____^
This weekend Jenn, Amanda version 1.0, Tara, and I are going to see Rent (at least that's the plan so far. It'll be a girls' day out!), plus we've got to make time for Christmas specials, Eric brought TONS that his parents have taped over the years. Jenn and I already bought eggnog for it ~_^

Blah. I had to make up a history quiz today.
My history prof is the coolest! He was speaking what sounded like French to this woman, and I saw some arabic books on his desk. Rockin! He also mentioned that he saw I was going to be in his class next semester and printed off his rough copy of the syllabus. And told me where to buy the book. My good cheesey, he's the best.
Tara's gettin sick. I'm plotting on stealing some hot chocolate from the caf for her. If Jeramiah ever gets online ;p

For those of you interested in playing the emo game, the link is below

Actually, you'll have to copy and paste. I'm not html literate. Also, be careful when playing in front of parents and/or younger siblings. There are some rather.....graphic scenes.

So I came up with this theory after watching too many James Bond movies and eating chocolate.
Our dear friend, Kelly Bond, is one of James Bond's many illegitimate children!
This works perfectly because, according to Rachel, Kelly doesn't have a father.
Bwahahaha.
Kelly and I saw Rent this evening. It's AWESOME!!! I want the soundtrack now.

I can knock him 'cause he's dead.
A few things before I unleash these results:
1) Frued was a numnut that offered virtually nothing to the field of psychology. His psychosexual stages are nothing more than an amusing postulation and fodder for Trivial Pursuit questions and Introductory Psych courses around the country.
2) Psychoanalysis is a scam and IMHO can actually be determential to a client. How can you state that you helped someone with no way of proving it. I. need. data.
3) They say "bad press" is still press.
4) This test was still amusing...
| Freudian Inventory Results | Oral (33%) you appear to be stubbornly and irrationally against receiving help even when it might be the more intelligent option.
Anal (76%) you appear to be overly self controlled, organized, and possibly subservient to authority, this effectively narrows your exposure to a wider set of options and ideas lowering the odds that you will make the best decisions in life.
Phallic (63%) you appear to have issues with controlling your sexual desires and possibly fidelity.
Latency (43%) you appear to have a good balance of abstract knowledge seeking and practicality, dealing with real world responsibilities while still cultivating your abstract and creative faculties and interests.
Genital (56%) you appear to be somewhere between a progressive/openminded and regressive/closeminded outlook on life.

Alanis Morissette - Excuses
Why no one will help me
I am too dumb I am too smart
They'll not understand me
I am lonely
They'll hate me
And there is not enough time
It's too hard to help me
And god wants me to work
No resting no lazy
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked in my own cell
I'm too far from home
It takes far too much energy
And I cannot afford to
No one will ever see me
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked inside my cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me small
They've kept me blocked
They've kept me safe inside my shell
Bringing this into the light
Shakes their foundation
And it clears my side
Now my imagination
Is the only thing that limits
The bar that is raised to the heights
No one can have it all see
I have to they want me to
And I can't let them down
I'll never be happy
These excuses how they served me so well
They've kept me safe
They've kept me small
They've kept me locked inside my cell
These excuses how they're so familiar
They've kept me small
They've kept me stoic
They've kept me locked inside my cell
