I've prayed to Our Lady of Perpetual Motion to get me through this week. Often times, she listens.
Recently, I rediscovered my love for the novel. So I began reading Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison...too bad it was right in the middle of a chapter of Economics.
Have a good week, darlings.

I do my best work in the morning, when the mind is lucid, the birds are chirping and the bladder has expanded to 3 times it's natural size.
Nevermind.

Sooo this is sorta my first entry in 2004. Better late than never, eh? So hi all out there in LiveJournaland that I've inadvertently alienated. Or not. I just kind of forgot I had this thing.
So first thing's first, this summer was by far the worst summer ever. And be it that I'm prone to exaggeration, I want to repeat and elaborate upon that: WORST summer ever. Maybe it was working in a grey "carrel" (which is just office-speak for half-cubicle dungeon), or the utter boredom and exhaustion that prevailed when I wasn't at work (and of course, when I was). I won't bother picking the lesser of two evils.
So exhaustion and general lack of gusto for life brings about anti-social behavior, and an urge to sleep for days on end. Voila, ladies and gentlemen, my summer. Oh, there were highlights, and great friends that I love very much and appreciate even more, but there's only so much a person can take.
I hate being such a drama queen, but man, it was a blower, this so-called "vacation." Hence why I never want it to happen again. From now on, I vow to spend my summers somewhere else, anyyyyyyywhere but here.
Which brings me to now, 4:30 am, 3ish or so days before I go back to the Valley. Between doing nothing and more nothing, I stumbled upon some of the pictures that have been taken over the past two years -- and I finally remembered how to be happy. First time in three months.
It's beautiful.

Switchfoot "Only Hope" |

Yeah, I know, it's been a while. I was busy, well, until school ended. Then i just wasn't. Haven't really done much, come to think of it. It's been good reconnecting with old friends and such, but I've been caught up trying to stay in constant motion, keep things moving, "accomplish" something. So here's the story of summer, super-quickfast:
I tried making a difference - I began working for Progressive MD, a group that's lobbying for living wages to be in place for the whole state of MD, i.e. lifting many many people outta poverty. It seemed to be the perfect job for summer: it wasn't a science related one, so I could explore my options, good cause, doin' somethin' good. But (as usual, there's a but) I was a canvasser, meaning I had to go door to door talking to people about the cause, then asking them to join the group. My salary was based on my contributions, so I was making nothing - and it made sense: the economy is in a rut now, unemployment is up, and not many have that much disposable income nowadays. And, of course, there were the people that didn't care, or were just flat out against it. So I decided to leave, because I have a college education to pay for, despite my need to act. meh.
Since then, it's been a cruel cruel summer...the jobhunt is kicking my ass, so I'm trying to go back to the lab, but w/no avail, no one is answering. bahh. well, we'll see.
I don't really feel like writing anymore. I'm starting to bore myself. peace.

"Don't Give a Damn About My Bad Reputation" by Joan Jett |

I haven't posted anything in what feels like a while . . . has it been a while? I don't really know, the concept of time is really slippy right now . . . yes, slippy . . . apparently, that's a word. It's one of the very few words in the English language that pisses me. Seriously, what the hell? Slippy?? Is the extra syllable in "slippery" JUST TOO MUCH FOR YA?? HMM???
Wow. My mind is slipping. After the finish a lab report and going to lab on Weds., I've been a bit spacey, very tired pretty often - it actually makes for good conversation with random people, I say the weirdest things when I'm not paying attention to what I'm saying. I believe many a conversation today centered around my sunshine happy dance and subsequently frolicking (fine, it was a moderate skip). Ah, to see sunlight, and for the temperature to be over 30 degrees, ahhhh. I BASKED in it today, the glorious sunlight, breathed in the fresh mountain air. good times. good times indeed.
I just came back from my second Amnesty meeting, and so far, I love it. The cause, the atmosphere, fun people. I feel that I'm finally acting on my words. I feel good (da-na-da-na-da-na-da).
Soooo tomorrow is the kick-off of THON, our big-fat-huge dance marathon in conjunction with Four Diamonds organization to raise money for kids with cancer. My roomate is a dancer in it . . . she'll have to be awake and on her feet for 48 hours, I'm in awe. She's worked hard to raise money and get ready for this event. SOoo exciting . . . I'll get to visit her a few times on the floor. also good times. good times abound.
Almost sleppn time. I'll wait until after the golden girls are over. PEACE.

Night 23509834098340968309 of insomnia.
ok, maybe that's a SLIGHT over-exaggeration.
I'm really getting tired of this (although being tired would be really nice right). Night after night . . . i just want to get to sleep at a decent hour . . . I'm not asking for much. And it's not like I'm being productive or anything. It's just that i get this weird kick of energy right around midnight, and it's downhill from there.(or in this case, uphill?) AACK. I can't take it any longer. LJGRLJRTOEWJHGPWJERPTG. bah.
On that note, I'm gonna try the whole sleep thing one more time. GOODNIGHT.
