I'm Real Good at Some Things

Sat, 12 Sep 2009 02:15:57 GMT

I am becoming an expert at attaining no sleep.
I feel like I was somehow made for it though. I wish I could say that I've never had insomnia, but that just wouldn't true. Honestly, right now that's not even the case. I've just been avoiding sleep more than anything. This whole week, Monday through Friday, I've been waking up super early every morning. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday at 5:45AM and Wednesday at 6:45am. That's not entirely bad except for the fact that I have not been going to bed any earlier than midnight each night. Why, you ask? Because I'm stupid. And because there's an hour long block of Family Guy at 11. No seriously. That's why. I mean, sure I'm not getting any sleep, but the Family Guy quotes never seem to end...

School started. I like it. I like that I'm at an art school. I think I definately made the right choice in schools as well. My drawing teacher is badass. Her paintings/drawings are amazing and I hope she can steer me in the direction of good drawings as well.

I wish I had some more interesting things to say. But I am about to go drink some vodka with some friends. Yup. Vodka.

Today Sucks Hard

Tue, 07 Jul 2009 22:55:14 GMT

So, Maddie, our kitty, has been sick.
Ian took her to the vet today and it turns out she has kidney failure.

Basically, our options are either give her an IV every day, which wouldn't necessarily guarantee how much longer she'd live or her quality of life....or put her to sleep.

So basically...Ian and I have decided to put her to sleep.

Today fucking sucks.
I love that kitty.
We got her when I first moved to Michigan....

went to kalamazoo for a bit.
saw some things.

namely, a telephone pole wearing a bra. seriously. i'd say about a c cup.

then, a car with fancy lettering spelling "loser."
I laughed, for sure.
then got closer and realized it said "laser."
which is definitely lamer than loser.
i'd rather it say loser.

although laser makes me think of this one movie which makes me think of lauren which makes me sad.

I am writing a short story right now.
I think it's gonna be pretty good.

love

i totally saw a big wheel locked up on a bike rack today.
it was...ah-mazing.

hot damn!

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 18:12:27 GMT

so i totally had to get a macbook for the art school I got into...
and yup...
I just got it in the mail.

It's pretty fucking sweet.
Now, I'm not too super into material things
but this is really, really nice.
And I owe it to my parents for purchasing it for me.

That's right. My parents are supporting me going to an art school.

it's pretty nice

it's five am!

it's five am and im still awake...
you see, the store I work at is 24 hours
and the managers take turns doing third shift..
I start third shift monday night at 11pm
and do that for seven days in a row
but i get four consecutive days off to make up for it...

but seriously
i have never done third shift before
but i think i'll do fine
i've been awake since 11am this morning
and I am still awake
at five am
which is eighteen hours of being awake
i've done worse
27 hours a couple months ago
i got this shit in the bag

basically...i am trying to stay awake to condition myself for third shift
im not even tired
mostly drunk
and i want to keep drinking....

oh..and i got into kendall...the school i applied to so YEAH

lame stream of consciousness

technology
makes life
so much easier
for some
in most situations
for me
it's just another
way to
prove i'm
an ass.
i want to
go back to
hand written letters
and postcards
long distance
telephone calls that
mean something
because of the time
you've had to wait to
give them a ring again
I'm through with
emails and text messaging
they're all ways to
be more forward
than you normally would
and make it easier to
put your foot in your mouth
with such great ease
like a contortionist
but without the skill
or cool job
i want thought
i want reason
i want real feelings behind
correspondance
and not just a convenient way to
give a chat
and pass it off as
a means of actually communicating
with someone
i want to take back
all the times i mixed alcohol
with technology
and lost the idea of
the need for reservations and
real, honest relationships
that involve
talking face to face
or at least
tired voice to tired voice
or poor penmanship to
poor penmanship
but for now it seems that
technology has taken over
and turned all things to
rubbish
