I'm so tired.  It's the kind of tired no amount of sleep at night can cure.  I want to run away somewhere and undertake some great adventure that will just make me care and be excited about something. I have some awesome things coming up, but I'm just too tired to be truly excited about them.  Thank goodness for caffeine.

This Winter break has ( Read more... )

That was quite a good Thanksgiving break.  Keyword in there: break.  I slept >5 hrs a night, my back stopped spazzing out for the most part, and I didn't have to analyze anything.  Well, maybe I should have but I didn't.  That's what Mondays are for.  I tackled wedding present shopping, sweater searching (conquered that one), Tropic Thunder, Wall-E ( Read more... )

I'm taking a break in grading.  Already this week (Sunday to now), I've clocked 40-some hours at work.  On the positive side, I've gotten a lot of stuff done and I must be pretty un-Lymey now to do all that so yay's all around!  On the negative, I have absolutely no life outside of work and my sanity is slowly slipping into nonexistence.  I am ( Read more... )

I love that song.  "Bleary-Eyed" by the Annuals.  It's tragic, and sweet, and a little bit odd.  I like the beginning best. 
"Green-leaf dawn implies something sweet in mind.
But it's still your fingers in my back pocket,
Makes me wonder why I sit here so tall,
And why I run from the walls..."

I've been devouring books as of late.  I've never been much of a reader (beyond books about sharks or some journal articles) until I got back to Columbia in August.  In the past two months, I've conquered six books.  That's the same as my past 4 years combined.  I woke-up this morning at 8 with the full intention of getting to the office and ( Read more... )

This summer has been awful, and unfortunately not just for me.  It seems quite a few people have been touched with a taste of the terribles this summer.  Thankfully, I've had some good friends and of course my ever-amazing family to help me through it.  Things could always be worse and I've been unfortunately reminded of that this past week.  ( Read more... )

Yes my friends, today is my birthday.  I'm 22 and I don't care.  Is this really it?  Is the excitement gone forever from birthdays already?  Oh well.  I'm going out to dinner tonight with my family to celebrate and i got out of TA'ing early so that's not a bad gig.  Haven't gotten any presents yet and maybe that's what's keeping me from being all ( Read more... )

What is my number one fear?  Being replaced. 
Being replaced is a terribly frightening thought to me.  I know it all stems from a lack of confidence in both my friends and myself... mostly myself.  Well, I guess, it's all on me.  My friends are actually really awesome and I doubt when it comes down to it they actually would replace me.  At least a ( Read more... )

Ok, I'm going to toot my own horn for a bit but I just had to get out my jubilation somehow and I'm tired of boring my friends with it all.  So read on if you want for the details or just enjoy the title and move on with your life.

I need a hug.  And not just any hug.  Not one of those "I haven't seen you in awhile and society dictates I need to give you an awkward back-pat" kinda hug, I real all the way to the moon kinda hug. I'm not generally touchy/feely kinda person and I'm not even in a rough spot (things are actually quite fantastic really) but I just have this ( Read more... )
