Too much stress, no time to impress

If I were scheduled to work tomorrow I think my eyeballs may have melted out of my skull, which would then cause my brain to fall out through the gaping holes in my cranium and consequently kill me. And I would have been ttlly ok with it.

Sure, it's easy to make five lattes in four minutes when you've been downing double espresso and earl gray tea in the back all afternoon, but that sort of caffeine-fulled lifestyle does not produce very pleasant after effects. Also, it's very easy to get sick of cleaning bathrooms and mopping floors and washing dishes for days and days on end.

So basically, I am fully prepared to greet with open arms my single day off. I am naming it The Great Tuesday. I'm not 100% sure what The Great Tuesday and I will do together, but I know building play-doh sculptures and sipping Sprite through Krazy straws will be involved. TGT and I will also make sure to utilize my off-hour and take a lunch trip to Taco Bell, where we will cram as many 99 cent burritos into our gullets as humanly possible. Q: Can you think of anything better?
A: No.

A side note: I would have found it nearly impossible to make it through this past week without the warbling voice and guitar picking of Meric Long. Words cannot describe the deep and unending love I have for The Dodos. If you haven't picked up Beware of the Maniacs or Visiter yet, you really should.


Goodnight.

The first day of the Minot State University spring semester was officially today and I officially felt the fool when everyone had to announce their majors to the room.

Me: Sry still in high school lol no major for me.

Them: (Thinking) Good lord, I hope I don't get paired with this prepubescent adolescent for the group project. I bet she can't even tell Hamlet from Macbeth.

Everything is 10x worse in the winter. My wind-chapped knuckles are starting to crack and I should be roundhouse kicked for even attempting to blog with the amount of homework I still have.

Fuhgedaboutit I am going to bed. Peace out computer, see you at 5:00 am when I need to get up and finish my shit.

THINGS I WILL NEED A LOT OF TO KEEP ME SANE UNTIL I GRADUATE:

• pancakes
• books I haven't read yet
• books I love to re-read
• freshly sharpened pencils
• double, triple, quad shot lattes
• cds, cassettes, LPs, etc.
• naps
• lighters to flick, papers to rip, guitar strings to pluck,anything to calm my constantly twitchy hands
• a new pair of shoes every few months
• tea
• someone to play tennis with
• Franny and Zooey
• extra long, extra hot showers
• movie nights with friends
• good hair days
• The Dodos
• The Beatles
• the soothing voices of Chet Baker and Nat King Cole
• encouraging words
• study days at the MSU library
• fashion magazines
• Dum Dums
• Audrey Hepburn movies
• good television (i.e. The Office, Flight of the Conchords, Gossip Girl)
• bad television (i.e. anything involving Tyra Banks, The Hills)
• British television (i.e. Doctor Who, Torchwood, East Enders, Primeval, etc.)
• and an absence of self-loathing would be nice as well.

Now I have to finish a paper on a story by Hemingway.


p.s. THINGS TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS

• Yearly spring break excursion to Winnipeg (March)
• The Watchmen (March)

Looks like January and February can suck it.

Today my friend told me that she and my boss think I look like Zooey Deschanel. This made me quite happy.
