From now on there is no reason not to write every day, or at least 4 days a week. i just got back from lunch with mike, and mike is the same as he was in college, or high school, really, partying hard, responsibility-free, nothing holding him back or tying him down, scraping by and having fun. he told me about adventures he had with his band, ( Read more... )

No prefaces this time. unless this counts as a preface. come to think of it, it probably does. damn ( Read more... )

i've come to terms with the fact that i am in a writing slump. however, after having just read one of the awesomist books ever, i'm ready to snap out of it. "A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius" makes me want to put all my thoughts down and do something with them. and since i have years of non-slump journals to work with, i'm going to ( Read more... )

i've been up since 7:30 this morning, futzing around on the computer, playing boggle, stalking people on friendster, reading random peoples journals, and taking quizzes on "okcupid.com". Of course I have a list of errands to run and housework to do, but playing on the computer is so cozy, especially when it's raining outside, and i'm still in my p ( Read more... )

my new year's resolution is to write in this journal. not every day- that's unrealistic- but at least once a week, if not more. ideally 2 or 3 times a week. about whatever. if nothing noteworthy is going on in my life, i'll pick out a question from "the book of questions" and go with that ( Read more... )

I'm all alone tonight, and thinking about smoking some pot. Nothing really fabulous has happened from pot smoking for a long while, but nothing disastrous has, either. I wonder if I've used up my fabulous-experiences-while-smoking-pot- quota. For a long time, smoking was my favorite thing to do. If something was boring, a packed bowl would make ( Read more... )
