ckdexterhaven:

ash:
I lve an uplifting drunk, I wish I hung out with them more. Me? I'm an irritable drunk ... I cant stand the way it makes me feel! So I just dont drink. Seems like thats all anyone wants to do when they hang out!

Got a rejection letter from the Rutgers grad school today. It was the first school I've heard from. I'm bummed; I liked that school, and it's literally right across the river from Philadelphia, where my parents live. And what really bothers me is that all I hear from my family are questions about what I'll do if I don't get accepted anywhere. Nothing about where...

I have a lot of conversations in my head. I always have, even since I was a kid. I created people, usually either real people or fictional characters from movies or books, that I talked to in my head. There was never just one, and it usually wasn't someone I personally created, like the vintage imaginary friend. I imagined them by my side and I...

Last night I saw in person Texas beat Kansas, and tonight Purdue knocked off Michigan State as Kelvin Sanction got Indiana in trouble with the NCAA yet again. And Obama finally overtook Clinton in delegates tonight. For now, life is good.

Time to celebrate with a nice brand of wine I just found at a grocery store (!) that I haven't seen in any other...

And Clemmens is getting crucified as I write. Happy Days indeed.

Go Obama!! But then again I cant get my hopes up. Im starting to get really anxious abt whos gonna win, I cant believe some of these candidates. To think ... ONE of them is gonna be our president. SCARY, considering there's only like a 20% chance of it being the one *I* want to win, lol.

U didnt even tell us what kind of wine!

Tonight at work for a brief second I started looking forward to going to Chumley's, my bar back in Lafayette, before I came back to myself and remembered I'm in Austin, Texas now. Chumley's was my place: I could go there to write, to lounge around after work, to watch sports, or to see people I knew because everyone I liked went there as opposed...

You know, this week really started off perfectly. I went to sleep Saturday night, then when I woke up on Sunday, thus beginning the week, it was to the sound of my phone ringing. It was my manager at work, telling me I was supposed to open instead of close, as I'd thought, and that I was already half an hour late. That beginning perfectly...

Barack Obama is the man. If he doesn't win the Democratic nomination I seriously may consider not voting, which for me would be a massive deal. I've already decided I would only vote for the president and state positions this year; I refuse to cast a single vote for anyone running for U.S. Congress. This Democratic Congress has proven to me that it doesn't matter...

If Obama isn' the nominee, I'll probably vote 3rd party. Or I'll write in Donald Duck. If it's Romney vs Hillary, I might even almost be tempted to vote for Romney. The idea of at least 4 years of Hillary is indeed that scary to me. eeek skull
ash:
Yeah, I knew u would mention your love of obama in my journal, I hate to say that Im on any democrats side right now because I know if I say I love obama he'll definitely lose the democratic vote, so I try to say I like hillary just so obama wins, haha. I think things would actually change for the better if he were elected, and it pains me to think he might lose, because this is the first time in history of ash that Ive ever felt so optimistic abt any candidate.

Anyways, u best watch your ass at work! I know, u know your work better than I, so you're probably already being careful. When u work someplace long enough, u know what u can and cant get away with. But congrats on the ass kicking! I didnt know u were writing TWO fucking novels at once, are u mad? Or do u just need to for school? Which one is coming along the fastest? I'd think it would be easier to write a teen novel than for an adult, but what the hell do I know abt writing?

If writers are anything like artists/models ... then there are a zillion scams out there that want your wallet like nobodies business. Id be so afraid of throwing away $$ on something that didnt help my career progress! Good luck with that, I trust u know what you're doing.

For some reason last night I found myself thinking about the 7/7 bombings in London, when I was over there for a study abrad trip in 2005. I had been staying in a hotel in London, visiting my sister and her husband (who live there) before going to Oxford for my study abroad term. We didn't have classes on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays, and on...

All right, last night's blog entry was written during one of my random bouts of depression, so I figure I should put something else on here tonight to counter it a bit. Colts lost today, of course, which sucks, but oh well. As I told someone earlier, if being a lifelong Chicago Cubs fan has taught me anything it's how to handle losing. Plus I...

Man, it does seem like u have an awful lot to be happy abt. I always do that .. try to imagine how things could be WORSE than they are, it makes me feel less depressed. Or i just do what u do and think abt the things I have to be happy abt. No use stressing abt your grad school .. theres nothing u can do abt it now. you're either good enough, or you're not! the worst they can say is NO. They cant say theyre gonna steal your gf and your job or assfuck you, right? those things are definitely worse than getting rejected! lol

I say, if you feel like you are especially creative right now .. skip the fuckin lame part with the boat. why WASTE your creativity??? Write as much as u can while u can, because u might just run into writers block soon. THEN u can do the research on the boats appaearances because thats the least fun part, and u can do that while you're having writers block. Right? Right wink
