It's been going on for weeks, and driving me mad.  Mad, I say!  I think my neck might be out.  Maybe it's too much caffeine.  Maybe a bit of both.  Gotta try to give myself a neck massage or find someone to give me a neck massage, because the twitching is getting crazy-making.  Crazy-making, I say!  I blink, and my eyelids flutter and spasm.  Stop ( Read more... )

If I never have another dream in my entire life, I think I could be okay with that, because there's just no topping the subconscious adventure I went on this morning. I've had one helluva dry spell where good dreams are concerned; I think the stressful and all-consuming nature of grad school was the problem. But finals are over, and yesterday I got ( Read more... )

I wanna go dig shovel tests on Mars or something.  Can I do that?  Can we make that a thing you can get a job doing?  Because that would solve all my problems forever, I think.

 What an awkward way to wake up.  Dreamed that my sister and I had gone back to visit our old church and got pulled into running one of the sunday school classes.  The big crisis we had to deal with?  A toddler who needed to be convinced to try the banana he'd been given as a snack.  But when sunday school was over, I happened to pass by the ( Read more... )

Me: Hey, brain! I worked hard on homework all day, so let's take the evening off and do something fun and creative. Let's write a story!

I cannot wait to be finished with school so I can get a decent job and start making good on the 20+ years of institutional life I've had. CAN. NOT. WAIT. I want my brain back, and I still can't find the motivation I mislaid around the start of January. I want to write, and to read for fun, and to be able to do so without the vaguely naughty ( Read more... )

I really wish I had my teen years to do over again. I would have taken more risks, experienced more things...and possibly gotten in some trouble. I just feel like I got a really late start at life, y'know? Like I did things kind of in reverse.

God, I want to learn to play guitar.

I passed up the chance to use my shiny new health insurance last night.

Yessss. So nice once in a while to do absolutely f*ck all one day and not feel guilty about it. That was today. It started when I got woke up by my ringing phone. It was my Summer Plans calling, haha. I've got myself a position on an archaeology crew for the summer/fall with PennDot! It's the internship thingie I alluded to previously (and ( Read more... )

Posting two days in a row? It's like a Lent Miracle! Actually, I'm hard-core procrastinating on all the Things I Should Be Doing. But I'm also celebrating the fact that I had an awesome interview today for a summer internship. I've been led to believe by a few of the people involved that I have a very, VERY good chance of getting the position this ( Read more... )
