my doctor laughed at me
i thought i was being good by being sick for 2 weeks before i went to the doctor, but my doctor still laughed at me cause she doesn't think i'm sick. then she gave me a prescription for antiobiotics because "some people think they need them." why would she think that when i haven't even been taking any meds for what i do have. well, i took some last week, but this week i haven't been cause i haven't been feeling congested, which is why i usually take meds. do you know, it's only 2.5 months until i hear from my schools? i can't wait. i'm totally rambling right now. i've been doing it all day. i think i'm antsy in general. i'm waiting for so many things. waiting to hear from grad schools. waiting for the next semester to start. waiting to graduate. waiting to figure out what's gonna happen next in my story (that's a lie, i know what has to happen, just haven't written it yet). waiting to have time to have the lump in my throat removed. waiting to figure out how to have a relationship, which i think i can only do by having a real one. i feel like this year a whole new life is gonna start. i can't freakign wait. and now gatsby is sitting on my stomach and that's not good cause i have to pee like crazy. so, off he goes so i can. haha.Friday, December 23, 2005
I'M FREE!!!!!!!!!
so a little more than a week ago i turned in my grad school applications. so glad that's over with. i also can't believe it's done. it's like coming out of prison. mind prison. so instead my last two weeks were spent at the tour company. which is another kind of prison altogether. i need intellectual stimulation. i cannot survive happily when my days are long hours staring at a computer screen, answering the same questions over and over again, and surfing the internet. no, i need something that occupies my brain. i need it. like i need food. so i hope i get into grad school.the past three days has been interesting with this whole strike thing. hour long walks three days in a row. my legs are killing me. but i'm so fucking glad i can take the subway tomorrow. getting to newark without the subway would have been a royal fucking pain the ass. argh, i'm too tired to blog.

jewel fruit
until this evening i had no idea what a real pomegranate looked like. i knew what the delicious seed thingys looked like: jewels. pomegranates have this amazing quality of being both one of the ugliest fruits and one of the most beautiful. reminds me of someone i know quite well. but anyway. i decided that i had to buy one of the fruits for myself. then i realized that i had no idea what they looked like and how the whole seed situation worked. you could have told me each seed was an entire pomegranate and i might have even believed you. but now i know. becuase i've had my first real pomegranate experience. as in i saw it at the grocery store, bought it, then looked up online how to cut and eat it! yes, i'm a dork, but i just didn't know and figured my mom wouldn't either. it was nice. i love food that is a process to eat. which is wierd because i hate cooking. but give me an artichoke that takes a half hour to eat and olives that you have to really nibble on to get the pit out. so the process of digging the seeds out of all the nooks and crannies was a real pleasure for me. in one part of my head i was actually in a mideastern desert exploring dusty caves and finding rubies. that's what the seeds remind me of--rubies. they're so beautiful. i think that's why i really like this fruit. it's just so beautiful. like honest-to-god sunrise, harvest moon cloud filled sky, cardinal in winter, that kind of beautiful. definately a new favorite fruit.ps. is there a good way to ask for casual sex?

love me in country
about two weeks ago i was not feeling well and told my roommate i couldn't go out with her. i was resolute. i was sick and there were good shows on discovery health channel. but then she gave me her pleading look and i got dressed. and then i fell in love. because the band we were going to see was a bluegrass band. four beautiful boys singing the music that lives in my soul. to be a little corny. because country is the music that i grew up on. the first songs i learned all the words too. the first musician i had a crush on was alan jackson. so to hear these men singing songs that resonated somewhere deep inside me, i fell in love. of course only in the way that you do when you see someone doing what they love and enjoying it kind. the kind that only lasts when they're onstage and singing. and i realized something. i don't wanna be loved in the language of hiphop. or indie, or emo, or really anything else. i wanna be loved in country. i want to be wooed in my own language. and i want someone who knows what that means.Monday, September 26, 2005
oops
so right now, my life is pretty damn good. i just had a normal, no frills weekend. it was nice, and i enjoyed it. things have been crazy hectic, with very few minutes off of something. even this weekend it feels like i was always kinda doing somethign. this is the problem with my chosen life. in school, in acadamia, there's not really time off. unless you follow a really strict schedule, which i'm not very good at. so basically, i always have something to do. it also doesnt help that there's a lot of work going on in my apartment right now too.but what i really want to write about is how i'm not actually happy. like i have no real signs of it. in fact, i seem upset. i'm mean to people and i snap and i have absolutely no patience. what the fuck? i don't mean to be. i want to feel and act happy. like i feel it sometimes. when i'm walking down the street, and i see a beautiful dog, or someone laughing, or i even just think about my life i feel happy. but then someone says something and i just snap. i need to figure this out.
