i feel depleted, like i don't have enough oxygen. i'm frustrated for a variety of unnecessary reasons, most of which involve this 2.5-day migraine and trapped qi and inner restlessness due to lack of productivity in accordance with said migraine (and slacking on fiction writing) and, of course, my "time of the month." ew. i also didn't sleep much ( Read more... )

whenever i cease to update livejournal, it makes me feel ungrounded, as if all of my days have been swimming together amorphously. i started this entry last night, and abandoned it by heading to jake's house in the rain (every time i walk there, it's raining) to hang with the tirefires and await vladic's arrival from mexico. he brought "home-made" ( Read more... )

fragmented, disjointed thoughts: take one.

_i have decided to lose 100 pounds. that way, i will be roughly 12 pounds, like lucia zarate. perfect! except perhaps i shouldn't have just ordered tofu pad thai ( Read more... )

i've been exceptionally busy or occupied for over 2 weeks, and now that i have the majority of a day to myself, 2 days in fact, i'm completely distracted and restless. it's such an annoying conundrum, whereby i become o-so drained and overwhelmed by my busy lifestyle, but then am equally overwhelmed by lazier days. i guess it's because there's a ( Read more... )
