It’s amazing how quickly we can regret things. I am working on suppressing my tendencies to constantly erase the past (or to try, at least). I am working on a lot of things!
Guurgle
What a stressful freakin day. I forgot I was supposed to cover for someone tonight and completely missed work for the first time in my whole life! I feel like such an asshole! As if shelling out $147 for that VT speeding ticket wasn’t enough to make me feel like a jerk.
At least Barack Obama is already kicking ass at the whole President thing, and at least I got to do some yoga and some...
Recent Magic
How on earth did I pull off a GPA of 4.0?! I’ve never had straight As in my whole life. High fives for a successful first semester and fingers crossed for more to come.
My dad once said that everybody is either spiraling downward or climbing higher in life at any given time. I think my life is proof of how wrong that is. I feel like I am constantly experiencing both simultaneously, and...
Warmest Cube!
Wow, how strange is life? Jesse’s service was really surreal. I haven’t been close to that kind of pain in a long time. Still hard to think about.
And then I met this person. Wow! What an amazing human being! I swell up just thinking about it.
Anyway, the timing is eerily perfect. Believe it or not, I am headed back to VT yet again, asap.
I am releasing chemicals I thought I...
Dead Mouse
A mouse got stuck in the bug traps that the exterminators left under my bed…
I can see it’s little tail sticking out.
I guess I have to junk it.
I don’t like this!
Bizarre
I want to live every day as presently and vividly as I did these past 5 days. It was’t always wonderful, but it wasn’t always awful. I can’t say how good it feels to live with your heart on your sleeve.
Headed North
I’m doin another trip to VT. I’ll be back soon.
Julius
What keeps me awake at night is wondering if he was scared, or if he was ready. It’s less painful to believe there is another world, but that is a pill I have never been able to swallow. Everyone has been saying “it is what it is”. Well, they’re certainly not wrong. I just don’t think “what it is” has sunken in yet. Maybe that will become more clear when I...
Dino DNA!
I had one of the most horrible dreams of my whole life last night. I was walking through the woods with some unidentified friends when we suddenly came upon a cage holding a giant T-Rex. We had stumbled right into Jurassic Park! Next thing I know, we’re eating at the Jurassic Park restaurant, where tiny dino-eggs are a dino-delicacy. So I ordered them. When they came, they were the most...
Bug Dreams
I had an amazing dream last night. I was a freelance adventurer with Indiana Jones heisting some government weapon that the german lady from the Crystal Skull had stolen. I used my wits to win it back, and made it to our escape cargo ship, where Indy was waiting, just as it was departing. We were completely in love. When we got to our bunker, we opened the stolen goods and learned that it was a...

I can’t believe there are 25 year olds who still talk to each other as if they are freshmen in high school. My attraction to the old and balding may be disturbing to most people, but is it really that surprising when 25 year old men still think it’s good party conversation to talk about all the women they’ve slept with and whether or not they shaved their nether regions? Gossip...
Hoooray!
I don’t want to toot my own horn or anything, but I have made it through two weeks of being eaten alive by mystery bugs (finally identified today as Hedgehog mites belonging to Kate and Mike’s hedgehog. Mmmm delicious!) with a twist of finals and a hint of spending my already shitty paycheck on AWESOME Christmas presents for everyone.
The fact that I can still feel good about the...
Well, it’s officially the end of the day and I have one new boyfriend! Except that I just made him up and I have no boyfriends.
Do not EVER get attacked by mystery insects in your sleep and be wildly allergic to their bites. It is the itchiest mistake you will ever make.

It’s possible that I will not be able to get a full night’s sleep until the paperback prints of the first 3 issues of this comic are resting in my hands.

Experimental Face
I bought makeup last night and I’m wearing it today. Every part of this makes me feel wildly uncomfortable.
Mostly the reason I don’t wear makeup is because it’s not that fun or interesting to me. I don’t like sitting in front of the mirror for twenty minutes in the morning. In fact, I don’t like sitting in front of the mirror at all before at least noon, though I...
All Natural Jelly Beans
Exist.
I dreamt that I became a vampire and suddenly I don’t think vampires are that cool anymore. It was actually really sad. I met the man of my dreams and then remembered that I was a vampire, so I had to spend the rest of my life alone and eating frozen fish fillet. Somehow, in my wacked out dream, that was supposed to prevent me from drinking the blood of my true love.
As a matter of fact, I...
Epiphany!
Color is really the same thing as music, just at a higher vibration. This is a really good thing to know if you’re someone who is studying music. I was guided to this epiphany by my music theory teacher, the magnificent Blake Reynolds.
So here’s my own, personal epiphany: All of the great impressionist, post-impressionist, fauvist, etc. artists studied under teachers who painted and...

Loneliness In the Modern World
Feeling lonely? Don’t worry! You’re not alone in your loneliness.
“What terrible fear causes Man to address the Void as Thou?”
- Edna St. Vincent Millay
“But even so, every now and then I would feel a violent stab of loneliness. The very water I drink, the very air I breathe, would feel like long, sharp needles. The pages of a book in my hands would take on the threatening...
I Wanna be Haunted by You
Okay, so my Betty Boop music box started playing all by itself this morning. If anyone knows that this is something that is allowed to happen with regular science, please contact me asap, because right now I live in a world where ghosts are everywhere.
It takes 15 minutes to import a 60 minute CD into iTunes.
They should really patch that.
I AM IN HELL
Christina, Do you think emailing a professor with a message that starts with “Hey” will win my sympathy. Please re-read this message and ask yourself: this is appropriate? Please re-write and send your paper to me. Thank you, Prof. GN From: SCHNEIDER, CHRISTINA Sent: Wed 11/12/2008 4:02 PM To: Subject: Paper! Hey! I don’t have Microsoft Word and my printer is acting funky....
Things I Like
I recently read that there is a “Valley Girl” musical in the making. Probably the best thing about the movie is Nicholas Cage and his consistantly visible, heart-shaped chest hair. I love Nicholas Cage to death, but that side of him is long gone, lost in the eighties. I can’t see all this “musical” business working out, but I will certainly investigate.
And I have...

I love having a job that I can look forward to. I’m going to eat so much delicious ice cream tonight.
And I love my friends who like to do cool things like invite me Greece and go on wild Floridian adventures.
I had a little stuffy nose-ness when I woke up this morning, so I took some weird medicine that I don’t even want to talk about, went and got some Kombucha, and ate a nice tasty sandwich. Then I had music learning with Blake and then I had ice cream scooping with Ben and Jerry. When I got home I ate delicious soup, and drank some green tea. If I’m still sick tomorrow, I will be a...
Imagined Forces of Good and Evil
Everything is always good and bad at the same time. That’s why when you’re happy everything seems great, and when you’re sad, everything is shitty.
DUH, PEOPLE.
Glass Half Full
Self control is probably the best thing you can have on your side, other than Nicolas Cage. I wish I had a little more, myself.
Come to Ben and Jerry’s and buy our new gourmet chocolates! They make wonderful Christmas gifts. I am wholeheartedly invested in making this trial product a success. Free chocolate 4 life!
Which brings me to my next point: I am going to eat a sandwich today, and...
Oh Stinkies
Commitment is like saying “I’m not going to think about this anymore”. I guess in some cases that can be a good thing. Choosing a life path that makes you happy requires commitment, along with finishing a work of art, raising a child, and sitting down to watch the entire Lord of The Rings trilogy. Commitment isn’t bad, but fear of commitment isn’t bad either. I guess...
Spaceweaver, I believe you can space me through...
Believe it or not, I dreamt last night that I was going on a mission into outerspace with one of my friends, just for fun. The spaceship looked a lot like the one from Ren and Stimpy when they go into space and get … SPACE MADNESS! I think that was probably the best dream I’ve ever had. It made me really wish I was an astronaut instead of some good for nothing musician.
