New Stuff (dA)

* Mood: Questionable
* Listening to: Huo Tian Cua - Wang Lee Hom
* Reading: Geek Love - Katharine Dunn
* Watching: Mork and Mindy Season 1
* Playing: BioShock
* Eating: McDonald's
* Drinking: Watermelon Kiwi Kool-Aid

Aside from slicing my toe open on Saturday (that was fun) and battling the worst nightmare streak I've ever had (and I've had a LOT of bad nightmares and nightmare streaks) I'm just peachy. How is everyone else?

I've decided to try to turn some of the nightmares I've been having into stories, I just don't know how to go about it. I can't find a plot for these nightmares. They are random and graphic. More graphic than I can explain sometimes. :shrug:

I finished reading "Shutter Island" by Dennis Lehane and it was amazing. Obviously better than the movie, though the movie actually did a good job of following the plot. After I finished reading it, I watched the movie again (love Leo DiCaprio in that movie!!) and pointed out the discrepancies to Donnie (who enjoyed the movie too). He rated the movie at a 9.3 on a scale of 1 to 10. I would rate it just a little higher at 9.5.

Also, I wrote a new poem with a strange title, but I like it.

A few other things going on right now: Saw my ex-manager, Bruce, at Wal-Mart yesterday. He was flirting with me majorly. Donnie's insomnia is acting up. I started a rather disturbing book called "Geek Love" by Katharine Dunn (it is really good so far and I would suggest it to anyone who is a fan of disturbing literature. Of course, if you are on my profile reading this, you have to like disturbing literature a little anyway.) Still looking for a job, still being insane. Still working on getting my GED. Slow going, but worth it if I pass.

Oh yeah, the book store I work at (the little Christian one that barely pays anything because it has two employees, myself and another lady who only volunteers) is getting ready to close down. My friend, the owner, says she has been keeping the store open for 10 years and she wants to do other things with her time now. I hate for it to close, because it is about the only peace I get really, so I talked to my mom about possibly taking over, as Anita (the owner) is thinking about selling it to someone else. Wouldn't that be cool if I had a business of my own?! I think so. Anyway, it is a thought and I don't know what will happen yet. Either way we will find out by the end of the summer as Anita is going to close down in August or September if no one is interested in buying the business.

All for now. ^^ (Kind of feels like my old journals huh? When I used to write a lot more than I have been lately.)

Check out my latest poem "A Portrait of the Artist as a Flower" (Stupid dA cut the title down to "A Portrait of the Artist").

Peace and Anal Grease.

Unpleasant. (dA)

* Mood: Overwhelmed
* Listening to: Carry Out
* Reading: Shutter Island
* Drinking: Ginger Ale

So my younger sister scared all of us when she randomly disappeared on Tuesday night. She was at the library with my mom and my mom fell asleep (she is prone to really bad headaches and had been up the night before with Hannah because she didn't go to bed until 8 am). When she woke up Hannah was gone. Thus began the search for her that ended with police being involved because she had been missing since 6pm and it was approaching 11pm. She was found at a friend's house at 11:30pm.

That was quite the excitement.

Not only that, but I managed to walk 3 miles (total) to my play practice, because my director assured me that I could take a bus and not have to walk to far. Note to self, never do this again as walking when you have a broken leg and are missing half your pelvis is a bad thing. Also wore blisters into the backs of my heels.

Today however, I am hoping will be better, because I am going to go with my mom to see my Aunt (who lives in Wisconsin). I get a mini vacation! :D
