I'm on a reading kick (finally). Today I finished Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer. It was an amazing novel and I highly recommend it. After I finished it, I actually had to leave my class because I started to cry. So great. Ahh. I didn't go to work today (Marcos went in for me), so I just relaxed instead. Lindsay came over and it was really nice. We drank tea and laid in bed and giggled and it felt like she still lived here. I miss that a lot. Then Jenni and Dennis came over, followed by Cayce. I don't think I really left my bed once until we went out to eat. Now I'm home and I'm trying to forget about this paper I have to write that's due in a week. I'm trying not to think about how chapped my lips are and how bad my throat hurts, too. I wish I were going to the Y tonight. I have a sip left of Earl Grey (I've acquired a taste for it---before it was too smoky), then I guess I'll make some more tea and curl up in bed. Also, a shower. That's second on the list.

his films were more about the loneliness of modern living and love as the only hope of salvation

I just keep listening to Heroin by the Velvet Underground over and over and over again and it's in my head and there are so many things in my head that I can't say and that I wouldn't even really be able to say but it'll get better and I think it'll be okay one day and I need to stop thinking negatively and start thinking positively. Constant fucking internal struggle. I wish that I was born a thousand years ago. I wish that I'd sail the darkened seas on a great big clipper ship going from this land here to that in a sailor's suit and cap away from the big city where a man cannot be free of all of the evils of this town and of himself, and those around. Oh, and I guess that I just don't know. Oh, and I guess that I just don't know. Heeeeeerroooooinnnn.

Tonight I came across a short stack of Kodachrome slides from my Nana's wedding, along with a slide viewer. This one slide. It was just so perfect I couldn't help but cry. There are so many things I want to ask her. Things I never got the chance to say. I want to ask her about her wedding, and not just see a few pictures from it. I want to know how she felt that day. Ask her what her childhood was like and how the world has changed and what she thinks about it. When she died I didn't really cry, because the cancer had already made her lifeless. I cry every once and awhile thinking about it and her and how yellow she was when I saw her last. She was so beautiful. I miss her.

after one long season of waiting,
after one long season of wanting,
i am breaking open.
my insides are pink and raw.
and it hurts me when i move my jaw,
but i am taking tiny steps forward.
and i... i feel sure that my wounds will heal.
and i, i will bloom here in my room.
with a little water.
and a little bit of sunlight.
and a little bit of tender mercy,
tender
mercy.

Why is my head fucking with me so much? My sleep pattern is fucked. I can only think about two or three things. Self-hate, man. At its best.

All-nighter #1. Gonna give veganism a second try? I had forgotten how great the Half-Blood Prince was. Feels good. Bear vs. Shark is a great fucking band. I can tell you that much. Fuck, man.

Boy, it began to rain like a bastard. In buckets, I swear to God. All the parents and mothers and everybody went over and stood right under the roof of the carrousel, so they wouldn't get soaked to the skin or anything, but I stuck around on the bench for quite a while. I got pretty soaking wet, especially my neck and my pants. My hunting hat really gave me quite a lot of protection, in a way, but I got soaked anyway. I didn't care, though. I felt so damn happy all of a sudden, the way old Phoebe kept going around and around. I was damn near bawling. I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth. I don't know why. It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all. God, I wish you could've been there.

I can't stop myself from being angry and annoyed and frustrated at everything and everyone. I want to lock myself away entirely and sleep and read books and fill my brain and not have to talk to everyone every second and have to listen to all the bullshit out of everyone's fucking mouth. I'm sick of immaturity and I'm sick of high school and I keep thinking about wasted youth and how I'm just going to die and none of this will ever matter. I can't laugh anymore. I'm sorry that I'm not sorry. It's just hard to cheer up.
