Into the Stream
still sailin', just in calmer, shallower waters. |
![]() New title, but it's still filled with the same old stuff. A little bit about me, even though you might already know me by now. I'm twenty-six years old. I like punk music, electro and even alt-country or anti-folk. Music is my biggest inspiration. I'm into postmodern fiction. Bret Easton Ellis is my favourite author. I'm rather fond of partying with people I love and writing about it in my 'novels'. I start things I don't finish, but those pieces of work mean more to me than anything I've completed. I'm over emotional, but I have a hard time expressing my emotions when they're not typed out or written down and that's the point of this blog. |
| NYC/ACY/PHL tomorrow. |
| I like the new Writing.com look. I'm aware I might be one of the last people to get out there and say this, but I thought it should be said. While I do find Writing.com to have maybe toooo many options, I do think this new look starts to clear up the cluttered feel. I like it. Plus, it looks good in white. Clean looking! I leave for NYC tomorrow. I'm staying in Brooklyn for three days and then heading to Atlantic City for a couple [with a day trip to PHL]. Then we're heading back to NYC and staying in Manhattan with some random for another couple of days, basically just to take the bus from there. I should be packing. I'm not. lol. I couldn't afford to get both eyeliner and primer the other day, so I went into Sephora, bought eyeliner and then asked about primers. Got some samples. I didn't even have to ask. Man, I love Sephora. I'll buy some primer in NYC because it's cheaper than Canada even though our dollar is the same now. Amazing. The Wonder Years is releasing a new album and I'm pretty pumped because I'm going to PHL! Half of their songs are set around PHL, so I will see places like Melrose Diner and Logan Circle. haha. That's exciting for me even though that might be weird... Looking forward to everything, including the DOLPHIN WATCHING TOUR. my heart is swelling just at the thought of seeing the dolphins. I'll probably cry if I do. omg. hahahaha. I wish I had been good at sciences. I wish I could have done something marine biology related. Anyhow, I need to start working on packing. I need to at least make an effort.... |
| GRADES! |
| 2 As, 2A+ and some Bs. I can't say that's too bad for being a student after ten years of no school. Pretty proud of myself today. |
| blahblah |
| I'm working on about ten novels at the same time. haha. Well, three anyway. Three of them. That's ridiculous. I mean, I know I've had before than that on the go at one time, but not this actively. I've written a chapter for all of them in the past two weeks. That's a lot. Like...A LOT. haha. I think my excitement to leave town for a week is really getting to me. It's making me do things I wouldn't normally do, like get up at 9am when I don't work until 1pm...Yeah, I did that today. Proud? You better bet. OH. The poor cat. My cat had these weird lumps and scabs on her back. They're from fleas! ugh. Poor baby. She'll be better soon though! |
| the Maury show? really? |
| UGH. I was hoping my friend's total laziness would actually pay off for me this time. I really didn't want to go to the Maury show while in New York, but it seems like I have no choice. She got tickets. I'm only a little annoyed because I wanted to go out drinking and dancing, but she's not down, BUT I have to go to the Maury show. How white trash. Anyways, it's happening. I'm going to make every effort to go out partying as well. I better get the chance. If not I'm going to be annoyed for the entire trip. haha. |
| adsfsdf |
| Oh man. I'm falling behind on blogs and stuff already. Boo to me. Now that school is done life is busy. I have barely stopped this week, although I love it. But from now on, money saving time! First for NYC and then for school and moving out in the fall. Shit's gonna get serious. I'm going to be spending a lot of my days off at my grandmother's farm. Without internet and without spending any money. It's like an all expenses paid trip to silence and calm. I need that. Well, I'm almost late for work... |
| sick? |
| Oh hey, stomach flu. what up? I don't think I have had a stomach flu since I was a child. I don't know if that's what it is, but I'm feeling pretty rough and my stomach is making noises like I had never heard before. However, I have to say that I have really dealt well with the end of school this year. I haven't had a single stress moment. I've been done everything ahead of time. I'm not stressing at all! My photography assignment is due tomorrow and I was done yesterday. I even went to the school to print and bind everything today. Wow. well, I need a nap because I have a feeling if I start to feel any worse I'm not going to be able to sleep later... |
| April ice storms bring... |
| Wait! Is that sun I see? Nope, just more clouds. Is this winter over yet? The ice storm on Thursday and Friday really put a damper on things. I'm hoping that we get into the nice temperatures soon. Spring should be hanging around 12-18 degrees [celcius, of course], but these temperatures around 0 are getting on my nerves. haha. I was supposed to go for Sushi for the first time today. I've been avoiding sushi places, because I'm vegetarian. I said I didn't want to support any place that's over fishing our oceans, but my friends were all going because my old roommate was in from out of town. She's been here several times and we never actually hung out because they always wanna go for sushi, so I said I would suck it up and go this time. Her boyfriend ended up developing bronchitis and now they're not coming...hahaha. I had a battle of ethics for over a week about this! haha. Oh well, now I know that I would go for her, so when she comes next time I will go with them. That's clearly my only major crisis at the moment. I'm glad that I'm back to blogging and you have all taken me back with no questions asked. Signs of true friends! I'm currently at work, dragging out what little work I do have. I guess I better get back to it? |
| travel light. |
| I partied last night for the first time in a while. Woke up this morning at my friend's house and remembered why I started slowing down in the first place.This thought was reinforced by the fact that I had to work today. It's been a long rough day that's just about to end. My bed is beckoning me! Despite the slight after partying depression today, I'm feeling happy still. Everything is good. I'm glad. I'm taking a break from The Anatomy of the Journey to work on something else. Another road trip story, but it's going to be far more fluffy than things I usually write. Not nearly as dark. We will be seeing more of the brighter side of people and less of the dark. I think I need to write something like that, just because I want to live like that. I think it's important for me to live through my writing. I mean, I kinda do anyway, that's why I need to make it lighter. I need to make my life lighter. My sister just got home from her trip to Vegas that she won through a raffle. So before I can catch up from my lack of sleep last night, I need to hear all the ridiculous stories about her trip. I hope it was wild. haha. |
| spring/summer/life |
| New York, for the first time, in just under a month. I hope I can find some cool places. Man, I need to look up cool vegan places. I'm excited though. Concert in Boston and partying in NYC? Maybe only if I can find a good place that plays pop punk. ahah. So picky! Looking forward to summer. I really am. |
| Life update. |
| Just exported my entire portfolio. It's crazy how much I have here on writing.com. Years of writing all in one place. Outstanding. I have been working really intently on The Anatomy of the Journey. I don't know if this is something I'll finish any time soon [or at all] but I'm doing what I can with it. I've been thinking about a writing Sydney Harrell for so long that I think it's time I finally get the novel going. I'm just so protective over him. Things in my life have been pretty calm. I almost never party right now because I'm working every day that I'm not in school. I'm always tired. I'm taking Cipralex for my anxiety and depression. I have to admit that I feel better these days than I ever have. Yeah, I've had my periods of extreme high, but its different right now. I'm completely, completely content. When I get a pain in my head I'm not assuming it's a tumour. When my arm hurts [I have tendonitis] I'm not thinking I'm going to have a heart attack. You have no idea how long I've been living with that paranoia. And I don't make these wild assumptions that everyone's talking about me anymore. I'm not thinking the future is an endless black hole. And guess what? I have self respect! I'm not keeping around people who make me feel shitty. I'm not putting up with people's attitudes. I don't let people use me like a door mat. While this has been a long time coming, I'm finally allowing myself to grow into the adult that I wanted to be. I'm independent, creative and content. Amazing, right? I didn't even know life could be this simple. And after all the years of not wanting to take medication, of trying to get better on my own...Oh man. |
