[Not] Getting This Party Started

I'm having the hardest time functioning today. I cannot get my day started. I don't feel like doing anything at all, and then I beat myself up for it.

I just showered, which I should have done yesterday. I'm mad about all the hair I'm losing and it's making my shower a mess. My face is breaking out, and I don't know why, since I take such good care of my skin these days.

I have to change my sheets often because my Godd*mn medication makes them smell funny. Not cool.

Now I have to go get a sandwich for my dad because there's never any food in the house. I'm not even sure what I want for lunch.

Grouch, grump, grump. I should brush my teeth, too, even though I haven't had any food yet today.

I'm watching this Israeli/Lebanese thing unfold on TV and that's all I want to do, that and my Sudoko puzzles. And I want to see a movie tonight. I'm so tired of having no money. There's no point getting a job this summer, since I'll be in Southern California next week and then Tahoe the week before school starts, and that's only five weeks away (I think).

I'm definintely bringing less stuff with me this time, I know what I need and what I don't need. I like having as little stuff as possible, and I'm giving things away and selling them as I no longer need them.

I'm excited about next year but not excited about being stuck on campus and having no life; getting stuck in a rut. Again, I "SHOULD" be applying for internships, to guarantee I get off campus, but I've only sent off one resume.

Whatever. I should get in touch with my "dark" side--my unhappinesses--more often, so they don't spring up and smack me in the face like this.

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out...

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where...
