Yes, fresh hell. Never before have I experienced the full misery that is Manhattan on a stormy day. Impossible, you may think, as every single day for the past few weeks has been stormy and disgusting. Maybe so, but until now I only experienced mild amounts of rush hour traffic (both on the highway and in line for the subway). Well today marked a ( Read more... )

While I cannot deny that things have been getting progressively shittier for many years now, it suddenly seems as though all of the feeble-minded, musket-totting zealots who somehow still believe that it's the mid 1800s and that it's ok to beat their wives and hang "negros" from trees because their black voodoo magic has caused a massive wave of ( Read more... )

Oh Livejournal, it's been so long since I've written anything of worth ( Read more... )

Sometimes I get the feeling that when people I care about are talking to me, we're not having a conversation. They're talking through me. As in, they talk as though they're talking to a wall. They don't expect or want feedback, just something to sit and listen. And I don't mind doing that. But it would be nice if once in a while they'd make it seem ( Read more... )

In keeping with my entries lately: I feel pretty awful right now. I'm a big ball of anxiety. One 8 page research paper and one 10 page short story. I need to finish them. They're both due on Tuesday. I don't know what to do with myself. All week I've been fidgety and nervous, having a bunch of smaller papers to write and about three novels to ( Read more... )

So I'm beginning to be seriously concerned about my health. For the past week, every night, like clockwork, I have had a headache. The past few days that headache has become a migraine, leaving me nothing to do but try to sleep it off. Last night in particular was absolute hell. I kept having these intense spasms of pain all around my skull in ( Read more... )

My head is pounding. It's been throbbing like this since Friday night and I don't know what's wrong. I didn't get very much sleep last night, which I'm sure contributed to it. And I spent the majority of today around screaming children. I also somehow managed to eat like... two whole salmon by myself over the past two days... People just keep ( Read more... )

You know what? People need to grow the fuck up. To all you dumbass trolls out there, why not take up a useful hobby? Rather than spend your time undermining people's self-esteem and preying on their insecurities. It's just a bad reflection on you. But I'm just wasting my breath, or really my finger strength ( Read more... )

I painted my nails yellow. I figured the bright color would cheer me up. It was an ok day. I finagled my way into getting an A on a paper I didn't even do. So.. that's always nice. Got my taxes done for free by my awesome boss. First time in a few years I haven't had to pay the damned government. So again, a plus. My stomach has been bothering me ( Read more... )
