Ok, so I'm slowly growing more and more convinced that this school is trying to kill me. Really, they should know by now that I lack the willpower to deny myself free cookies ALL DAY. I've been here like, 4 hours and I'm pretty sure I've stolen like 10 cookies. and to top it all off, they have free coffee too?! All week?! Madness! I've already had a full throttle and am now on my second coffee in less than an hour and I think my hands are shaking just a wee bit. Evidently I handle alcohol a LOT better than I handle caffiene. I have simply come to hate this entire week. Seriously, as far as weeks go, this one is fast approaching the worst one yet. I still have no power, I'm staying in a hotel with my whole family (6 other people) and today is the first I've been able to do in over a week to work on my TEN PAGE PAPER due tomorrow. I hate winter. I hate winter, and I hate ice, and I hate cold, and I miss my dog because he's staying with my neighbors who have a generator (::cough::bastards::cough::) and I just wanna go home and sleep in my bed and not have to wear a winter coat when I do it.
Also, my hands are shaking just enough for me to keep missing keys and throwing typos up here like crazy. I've done many an edit just now. Oy. Well, good luck with finals everybody! for those of you without power, I hope you get it soon, and for those of you with power....
Let's not go there...
(::cough::bastards::cough::)
Have a good week everyone, and I wish you all the best on your exams!

Awful
Ugh. I finished my short story and I'm pretty sure I hate it, but I have no energy to do another right now. I don't think I have enough space for all the backstory I need for my character...
oh whatever, if nothing else, you guys will have plenty of constructive criticism for me, lol.

Feeling a bit silly...
I can't think of what to write for the moment, so instead I've decided to devise a silly song which no longer makes sense... oh well.

My Bandwagon Moment
Well, I've seen it on almost everyone else's blog, so I may as wel hop on the bandwagon and join in. Because seriously, I've got way too much shit to do for the semester to end yet.
Also I'm putting it all off.
Also, everything is basically due within the same three day period.
Also one of them needs to be ten pages of drivel about slang.
Pardon my french, but I feel as if I'm totally fucked for this end of semester. I just wanna crawl into a hole and nap until grades come out and I find that I've miraculously passed everything with flying colors. Right now I've got 35 hours at work to finish, 3 papers to write, one final to take, a short story to invent, and a headache that refuses to accept the three eviction notices I've swallowed (Advil). This happens to me every year. I get tired, I put everything off as long as I possibly can, and then I get wicked frustrated and pissy for a good week or two before the end of the semester. And to top it all off, I have yet to start any Christmas shopping and I've got quite and extensive list. Allow me to reitterate my earlier sentiment. I'm pretty sure I'm totally fucked.
That or just pessimistic, because on the whole, things usually work out fine. Let's just hope I can keep this semester's hot streak going for two more weeks. That's all I need and then I'm done. Best of luck to all of you who I know have like, 10 times more to do than me. I don't know hw you crazy sons of bitches do it, but I'm a little... no I 'm really jealous. I'd kill for multi-taskability right now. Tunnel vision sucks. Have a nice night. Good luck, and may God help us all....
P.S.- I've officially run out of ways to put off this damn Shakespeare paper, I hope you're happy. Because as of now, I blame YOU.

My Visit to Dictionopolis
When I was a kid, I used to like to read everything. From cereal boxes, to funny pages, to street signs, everything was literature to me. But as I got a bit older the reading bug started to leave. I was dissatisfied with Dr. Seuss and ready to say goodbye to “Goodnight Moon”. I had grown out of past stories, but couldn’t find any others. Then, as if by miracle one Christmas, my older cousin Brad gave me a gift that I will cherish forever, if only in spirit. He gave me my first real chapter book: “The Phantom Tollbooth.” I, like Milo, the protagonist, had begun to get bored with life and learning. I had entered the doldrums and without realizing it, “The Phantom Tollbooth” was able to guide me out.
I read it the first time to appease my cousin and my parents, not knowing the treasure that I was simply skimming, a word I now look upon with disdain. I don’t believe I exaggerate when I say that reading that book changed my life. It introduced me to a whole new world and showed me that there are many to see and to find. It was the first intimate experience I had with the written word that truly excited me, and I knew than that we would have a powerful relationship. We have since had many a rendezvous, meeting in worlds far from my own, and worlds perhaps just down the street. I have been able to navigate the streets of London Below with Richard Mayhew in Neil Gaiman’s “Neverwhere” and experienced disgusting, vulgar, drunken sex with Tucker Max in his collected personal essays entitled “I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell” which I often pray is fiction. In “Good Omens” I was able to ride with the four bikers of the apocalypse and see the son of Satan raised as a white bread suburbanite. Literature, whether real or imagined, serious or satirical, has always been a very important part of my identity. Books have helped me come to terms with who I am and introduced me to characters that I hope will remain a part of my soul. I believe that any character we connect to in a story lives on through us, even just a little bit. So I know that each and every character that I’ve ever loved, hated, admired, or abhorred are all sitting inside of me and if I’m ever lonely or bored, or simply finding myself once again in the doldrums, Milo and I can take a little drive through the Kingdom of Wisdom with Tock, the watchdog that ticks, and everything will be ok.
