Brushfire Fairytales

I'm never taking a 6am shift again. Especially when I already have a 9am shift. Especially when I have a 3 1/2 hour class right afterwards. This is going to be the Longest Day Ever.

5:15am-wake up
6:00am-work
12:00pm-leave work, have lunch and more coffee
1:00pm-go to class
4:30pm-leave class

Amber asked me to go to Seminole or St. Pete or something today, to meet up with her, her mom, and Cathy. As much as I'd love to go, I don't know if it'll happen. I may crash for like 3 hours after class. Which would be fabulous. It seems no matter how sleepy I am at 11pm, I can't get to sleep. I tried it last night... hell, I even took my Nyquil (which, I may add, that I do actually need, because I am indeed sick). I fell right asleep but then 45 minutes later Theo called and woke me up. While I welcome his calls at any hour, it kind of bugged me this time because after that I didn't get good sleep. I woke up just about every hour until I had to be up for work. Maybe the "night time" part of Nyquil works best for only uninterrupted sleep? It makes sense I guess. Whatever, hopefully I won't be sick for much longer and will no longer have a fucked up sleeping pattern. And yes, I am blaming it on my being sick. Because I can.
I could be watching Sex and the City right now but I forgot my f'n DVDs in my apartment. They were sitting on the counter right next to my coffee this morning and for some reason I grabbed my coffee but not them. I have a one-track mind in the mornings I guess.

Righto, now I'm rambling. Bye.

Granny died. I feel terrible. Not because she died (well, that too) but because I didn't visit her. I know it would have upset me to see her. Nana told me if I had gone I wouldn't recognize her. They said she must have just gone to sleep and didn't wake up. That's comforting, knowing she went peacefully. Mom told me all this when I woke up this afternoon. It didn't really hit me until about 11:30 tonight. I suprised myself. I cried. I think I got makeup on his shirt.
When stuff like this happens I start to think about how short life is, and how anything could happen at any moment. Does this happen to everyone? I wish it didn't take tragedy to make me think like this. I should be thankful for each and every day I'm given.


Wow, I feel like such a horrible person.

1. Reply with your name and I will write something about you.

2. I will then tell what song[s] remind me of you.

[This one is kind of difficult, I may specify, "Song I Think You Will Love" instead.

3. Next, I will tell you who you remind me of, celebrity/animated or otherwise.

4. Last, i will try to name a single word that best describes you.

5. Put this in your journal.



DO IT.

ATTENTION ALL SEMINOLIANS!

If anything is going on over winter break that I should know about, PLEASE let me know!


I'll be in Englewood, with nothing to do!

I also probably won't be on AIM or on LJ very much, so you'll have to call me!!!

If you don't have my number, get it from someone who does!


Thankyou and have a nice day!

I met a Canadian.

and.....


WHOOOOOOOO GOT AN A ON HER STATISTICS PROJECT?

E-E-E-ERIN GOT AN A ON HER STATISTICS PROJECT!!



Anyway. It seems like things are starting to wind down, which is good. I still have to get my group anthro project done, and write my paper for american studies, but other than that I'm doing okay. I'm taking a break tonight. I refuse to do any kind of schoolwork while I'm at work tonight. I'm just going to read my new book, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, and kick back.
Tomorrow I just have to go to ceramics and glaze my self-portrait, then make my AMS presentation, then I'm done.
Since AMS is gonna get out early tomorrow, I may go to the cemetery to see Papa before going to my dad's. We've been needing a nice long talk.

Ok everyone, I'd REALLY like a reply on this one...

Someone recently brought up to me that they think Green Day's song, American Idiot is about our fearless leader, President Bush. I have my own opinions about that, but I'd really like to know what all of you think. If you haven't heard the song, download it. Some of you may not like the genre of music it is, but at least listen to the lyrics.
I'm desperate for some kind of intelligent conversation, so if this is what I have to do to get it, I'll try.
Please please please tell me what you think, I'd really like to hear your opinions.

"I walk a lonely road
The only one the I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
I walk alone. I walk alone. I walk alone. I walk alone.
My shadow's the only one who walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
'Til then I walk alone
I'm walking down the line
That divides me somewhere in my mind
On the borderline of the edge
And where I walk alone
Read between the lines of what's
Fucked up and everything's alright
Check my vital signs to know I'm still alive
And I walk alone
I walk alone. I walk alone. I walk alone. I walk alone.
I walk the empty street on the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I'm the only one and I walk alone
My shadow's the only thing that walks beside me
My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there would find me
'Til then, I walk alone"

Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams



this album is amazing.
