Turkeys Need Love, Too...
it's thanksgiving morning and i'm ready...d just stepped into the shower. we are heading to her brother's for thanksgiving again this year. april's spending the day with us...so is joe's friend, chris, and d and joe's dad. i miss my family...but these folks are my family now, too. my mom misses me something fierce and i feel the same. but, with all the homework to be done and everything going on...i just can't make it home this weekend.
on a lighter note (because i was getting teary-eyed thinking/writing about my family) d, trish, and i are all going shopping tomorrow for black friday. d wants a wii for christmas so i'm going to see if i can't find one...usually on black friday they have special deals where you get something free if you buy a big gift like a gaming system. we'll see what i can find.
well, d is outta the shower and it's time to pack up and head for joe and trish's. happy thanksgiving, dear readers.

Break Me Off A Piece Of That KitKat Bar...
this time, i switched gears and began working on eking out every drop of info i can find on a piece of art for a paper that i'm turning in for both my mythology class and my history class. (almost had an aneurysm when i figured out a way to write one paper for both classes because i was so happy!) originally, i was going to write a paper on claude vignon's narcissus
but i can't find anything on it...so...i'm switching gears. i've decided to write on michelangelo caravaggio's sleeping cupid instead. i found much more information about it and there seems to be even a hint of scandal surrounding caravaggio. everyone loves a good scandal. 
thankfully, the time for research is drawing to a close for the day. d should be home soon. we're going to dave & buster's for a late dinner with serenity and leeann. they are coming down from frankfort for the night to play with us! i really miss them. i've known them both for about 16 years. they are pretty keen chicks. we're going to eat dinner and play games. none of us have ever visited this fine establishment...but the commercials make it look entertaining! it's fairly new to indy...i think it opened in june or july...but they have them all over the country. apparently it's like a bar/restaurant with toys and games for adults. you win tickets and then turn them in for prizes. i like prizes.
the sun has set and it's brought me one day closer to finals week. i'm ready to pound the rest of this semester out so i can get started on next semester! as of the spring 2010 term, i'm a junior. that leaves me just 2 more years...unless i decide to go for my master's. (which is a definite possibility) but, we'll save that for another day.

In Between Dreams…
i used to believe that life was just what happened in the interim between dreams. i lived for sleep. i didn't want to be real, i didn't want to be. the longer i could sleep, the less i'd have to exist. every once in a while, i still feel that need for lack of existence.
i slept my evening away last night and this morning i fought the alarm. i wanted to stay plunged in that dreamy state where i could just float. i pushed it 10 extra minutes before i knew i had to give up that happiness and freedom found only in a our respite.
the day brought the usual suspects. classes, homework, loneliness. the occasional feeling of worthlessness peppered with short bursts of giddiness and a rapid heartbeat. the pills 3 times a day. the constant, nagging, worrying feeling that just i just can't shake.
i’m tired of it. i’m sick of being such a ‘worrywart’ (as my grandmother would have put it). do i blame the drugs? do i blame the therapy? no, it’s just me and you’d think after nearly *ahem*30*ahem* years that i would just be used to it. not so much.
ok…take right now for example. i’ve got dozens of things to worry about and they just rotate through like a pinwheel. my worries blow through the breeze until the pinwheel stops and i fret and fuss over something for a bit. then, the breeze blows and it twirls. it’s another worry’s turn to torment me.
shortly thereafter, i’ll receive a burst of energy. like an adrenaline rush, it courses through my neurons and electrons…lighting me up. my heart beats a lil faster, i smile a lil easier , and laughter is never short of demand. i ride the wave and enjoy the high while it stays.
but, it never stays. just as quick as it came on, it’s gone and i’m back to wishing for sleep.

Everybody's Doing It...
it's 4:38a. i can hear d softly snoring in the boudoir and i'd give anything to be softly snoring right along with her. unfortunately, i'm awake. and, as a double unfortunate, farmville won't load properly. so, i am doing what any person would be doing at this hour...facebook stalking. don't act so stunned and don't act like you don't do it, too. we all know what facebook is about...it's about checking up on people you barely know and gaining insight into their world. it's a petri dish. we can play 6 degrees of separation with the friends of friends of friends. i'm relatively new to the stalking. d's a pro, though. she can find just about anyone and all sorts of juicy info on said person. she's amazing.
alright...time to stop stalking and go get some sleep. fingers corssed, it comes on swift!

Block Breaker...
it's been a few days since i've posted anything. i've been in a bit of a writing rut. school absorbs so much of my time that i haven't any left for creativity. i feel rather drained. although i love school, it still takes a lot out of me. i just spent the better part of my morning poring over a paper that i had to read and answer questions on. by the end, i was skimming the paper for the answers because it was so dry and confusing. oh well, i get the gist of it.
on a happier note, i'm getting the hang of this driving in the city thing. i used to get lost and panic, now i kinda get where i am going...although it's always the long way around. basically, no matter where i'm going, i have to start from the apartment. for example, last night i met april for dinner...i was coming from the school, so i had to drive back to the apartment and then drive to the restaurant. basically, it took me probably twice as long as it should have. but...i got there! that's all that matters, right?
are you bored yet? do you see what i mean? virtually no creativity! just the facts, ma'am. i've bored myself. i think that is a sign it's time to wrap up this post.

We Won't Take No For An Answer...
i'm addicted to facebook. more importantly, though, i'm addicted to a facebook application called Mafia Wars. i've tried to deny it. even verbally saying 'i'm not an addict...i just check it a few times a day'. yeah. *ahematleasttentimesadayahem* i think i have a problem.
in the beginning, it was nothing. i'd check it every couple of days. the jobs were kinda lame and the Godfather only gave me 10 pts (which i promptly used on something i didn't need to use them on). after a few weeks of getting higher and higher levels, the jobs got a lil better. it became easier and faster to level up and make money.
then...the zynga gods released Cuba. i became obsessed with getting to a high enough level to go see what Cuba was about. finally...after 2 weeks of working on it at least once a day, i got to fly to Cuba. the jobs netted you more level points and they seemed cooler (take out the local police chief vs the lame corner store hold-up). pretty soon i started leveling up every other day. then, they announced Russia! by the time Russia was open, i had hit the level needed to fly there. i started racking up the rubles in no time.
now, i check my facebook page to play Mafia Wars multiple times a day. i've been drawn into it! i even check it from school sometimes! this begs the question: is this a bad thing? it's not like i'm icing real mobsters...it's not like i'm pulling real heists. that's cool, right? right?!
*side note*
during the writing of this blog...i've check the game twice. am i sick? or just having fun...a lot? besides, i can't leave the family...there would be 'consequences'.

I'm Not Addicted, I Just Like The High...
today was my medicine evaluation. i get there and she's running 30mins behind. great. i'm stuck in a waiting room with some crazy looking 15yr old kid who's beady eyes were set too close together and she kept eating something out of her purse and crunching it with her mouth open. i was on edge already because i had to wait...i *almost* snapped. i wanted to say something to her so badly. she looked like one of those lil snot-nosed punk kids. she was wearing 2 watches on her arm and a halloween t-shirt. halloween may be the day the freak show comes out...but it's over. like...a week over. anyway, before we go any further...i dislike most kids. i especially dislike teenagers. i have a theory that children are sticky until they turn 13 and then they become know-it-all brats until 25.
ok...so finally the dr comes to get me. but let me clarify...she's no DOCTOR...she's a NURSE PRACTITIONER...that said, she grills me over my myriad of meds. do i think this one is working vs this other one. honestly...i've been on most of them for 3yrs and couldn't tell you if one certain med is working better than another. i take them all together. i always get frustrated by her. she panders to me and tries to be sugary sweet...but i know she thinks i'm an idiot. she keeps telling me that one of my drugs is addictive and eventually she'll take it away. she'll have to pry it from my cold, dead hand...it's the only drug that i know works because i can feel the relief once i take it. so finally, the appointment is over and i am cleared for another 2 months. whee!
medication time. ahh...sweet relief.

Artificial Flavoring...
i get to schedule my classes tomorrow. i'm psyched. school is my gig and i'm really looking forward to the classes i'm taking. biology of women, intro to women's studies, intro to folklore, and professional writing skills...should be a fun semester :D
*flash forward a couple hours*
during my trip to the grocery for milk, bread, and cottage cheese...i discovered that i'm a food weirdo. i bought sushi (eel rolls) and shrimp flavored chips. the sushi was divine...and the shrimp chips aren't bad. they are growing on me. i've seen them a dozen times plus one and always wanted to give them a shot. so...here they are, sitting beside my computer. *bites into one for emphasis* crunchy...and slightly shrimp-like!! D will be so disgusted.
while i'm on the subject of food...tonight's menu consists of broiled steaks, baked sweet potato fries, and frozen veggies. i know, i know...should be doing something fresh for the veg...but honestly, i don't feel like it. so there. :P
these shrimp chips are tasty lil bastards...damn.
