Today was my day off- I don't have a lot of time off and a lot of the days I do have I'm booked up to wazoo- but today was just a day for me. I finished almost all of my Christmas shopping. There are just a couple of things left, but the good part is that I know what those things are- I don't have to come up with any new or innovative ideas. So ( Read more... )

I take great comfort in knowing that it would be very difficult for the coming year to be nearly as awful as this last one has been. Difficult, but not impossible. sigh

And I fell. And landed perfectly well. Of course it was a perfect landing. I like to think that even professional gymnasts couldn't have pulled off a better landing. While falling, presumably to one's death, one shouldn't fantasize about things beyond themselves. God, I am stupid. And I fell and just kind of stopped midway to the ground. And ( Read more... )

Realizing you're stuck in a tree is a fairly simple conclusion to come by, but your body realizing it's stuck in a tree can result in a complicated biochemical response. The bladder relaxes, my pupils dilate, and the expansion of blood vessels in my muscles, all help when I'm suddenly holding onto the tree by my hands. When I was in third grade I ( Read more... )

so at what point are things supposed to turn around and get better? i've really been holding out- i keep assuming that if i try really hard and get up every day and do whatever i'm supposed to and try to smile and try to act like i don't feel like i've been totally striped down and hollowed out and then maybe backed over by a truck, that things ( Read more... )

i feel weird
not bad, just weird

like maybe i'm asleep and somehow everything is a dream
or i'm maybe stuck in someone else's dream

it's weird. i don't know
i'm tired, i need to do my homework for work
but i don't want to.

maybe whoever is dreaming me will wake up
and i won't have to go in to work tomorrow

So I made plans for tomorrow. I mean, not exciting ones for the evening- I was still looking for something that would potentially be better. But I had plans and was going to try and do something special... but I forget that everything in my life constantly has to get fucked up. you know? or else it isn't my life ( Read more... )
