i’m wide awake and so alive, ringing like a bell (wednesday)

First of all I’d like to link to indexed, a really cute art blog i found today in searching for music to fill up my new little ipod named Oskar (lovingly, after the Foer character in Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.) It seems to be updated daily, just little cute illustrations on index cards. My favorite, of course, was March 3rd: 7:05PM due to my own opinions of grad-school (which are, if you were wondering, that it’s worthwhile for some, but certainly not the be-all-end-all of education, and your life can still be fulfilling without it.)

Speaking of grad school, two friends in the past week have told me they hope that I go to an MFA program in my life which was refreshing to hear. At least, I think they meant it in the “we’d like to see you published in our lives,” way.

The sun being out so much later has been lovely, though losing an hour of sleep was no fun. It was worth it though, I’d say. Speaking of sun and sleep, I’ve lost the ability to go to sleep at 10:30; at the time I considered it more of a curse than an ability.

The low down on the thyroid issues I have is this, they often cause issues such as: needing inane amounts of sleep (it’s getting better, but this past summer I was up to sleeping 12 hours a night at least and needing a two hour nap per day), being colder than the general populace (it’s true, I register at about a 96-97 degrees usually,) having crazy manic mood swings, etc. I once came home from work early this past summer and went to bed at 3pm, only to wake up at 6am the next day. I was horrified.

Things are getting better like I said, so this isn’t some laundry list of complaints. I don’t have much else to talk about really; it’s spring break tomorrow which I am so psyched about. One full week of family and sleeping and delicious food and a haircut (something mildly drastic, oh my!)

language is the liquid we’re dissolved in (tuesday night)

I am prone to migraines, and unfortunately find them affecting my life exponentially. Another thing I will add to the laundry list of “things I blame on the slow decay of my thyroid.”

I love days that are made up of interesting meals (company not food) and long talks (something I’ve missed with K. in Estonia and Z. on a different work/sleep schedule than myself.)

What have I done today? Five pages of a treatment, some computer science homework, and a snarky overhaul of my facebook (yeah, I’m that person who gets mad and it reflects in my online presence.) Not much else.

My car’s getting picked up tomorrow, just in time for spring break (when I will finally, indeed, read poetriez to high-schoolers.) Want to know the damage? I just thought something was rattling. Apparently that was a 1700$ rattle. Fuck cars.

Luckily my parents still cover those sorts of scary expenses, or else I’d never get myself out of that one.
