but when people ask me how much i weigh, i'm just going to start responding "enough to kick your ass."
same answer goes for "how much have you had to drink?" and "how many baseball bats do you own?" |

i've been sitting in front of this computer screen for two hours and haven't even started my homework. instead, i've been looking at all of my old journal entries.
remember when i was really timid and self deprecating? the latter may actually still hold up, i can't even tell anymore.
either way, i've gone from totally alienating myself to totally alienating other people. FINALLY.
on that note, i saw nick and norah's infinite playlist this afternoon. it was really mentally draining, probably the most uncomfortable i've felt watching a movie by myself. it made me so self-conscious seeing a movie that my 16 year-old self would have really identified with. like psychic vampires sucked out my life force and used it to sell mp3 players.
apparently this is a common experience people go through in their 20s. |

RIP the economy. sucks for anyone who wasn't already broke!
oh, i keep forgetting this, but i'm 20 now, which is like, significant for some reason. this is officially my 20s. maybe now's the right time to take the training wheels off. also, when does one usually make the transition from young and jaded to old and bitter? |

watching cnn for hours last night reminded me of how angry i am about the past 4 years, and i suppose that was the point and that i'm falling for the propaganda, but honestly it was more like someone shoving celery and green peppers down my throat to remind me that i really hate celery and green peppers.
oh yeah, on a bulletinboard in the backroom at work, they have an inspirational message posted. basically it's about never giving up, not being discouraged, etc. it resembles this list that i found online:
In 1831 he failed in business.
In 1832 he was defeated for the state legislature.
In 1833 he failed again in business.
In 1834 he was elected to the state legislature.
In 1835 his sweetheart died.
In 1836 he had a nervous breakdown.
In 1838 he was defeated for Speaker.
In 1840 he was defeated for Elector.
In 1843 he was defeated for Congress.
In 1846 he was elected for one term to Congress.
In 1848 he was defeated again for Congress.
In 1855 he was defeated for the Senate.
In 1856 he was defeated for Vice President.
In 1858 he was defeated again for the Senate.
In 1860 he, finally, was elected President of the United States.
AND THAT MAN.. WAS PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
and underneath it someone attached a post-it note saying "in 1865 his wife convinced him to see a play at ford's theater."
now, eve-and-the-apple-esque sexism aside, at least someone else remembers the part about him getting shot in the head. so, to sum up, this man failed at everything he attempted his entire life, had an abusive wife, became president of a country that was on the verge of splitting apart (for better or worse is a different argument), and then got shot.
the odds of all this happening to one guy, phew. chance is indeed a cruel mistress. it must suck having an abusive wife AND a cruel mistress.
i start my 3rd year of college VERY SOON. i have done nothing to prepare. this doesn't bother me. |

i feel like a dead star.
worn out from perpetually using small amounts of my resources on the tiny, day-to-day necessities like fusing hydrogen particles until i collapse under the weight of everything i've built myself up to be, transforming into a terrific explosion that indiscriminately engulfs everything i come upon in a bath of cosmic flame.
yeah. |

i don't write for shit anymore.
actually, you could probably replace the word "write" in that sentence with basically anything and it would still be true.
almost-twenty is a bad thing to be. i feel like there's so much but still nothing. |

i wonder if there's any particular reason that i have been consistantly unhappy for the past year or so of my life. maybe this happens to everyone? i don't know why i'm posting questions when nobody even uses this thing anymore.
i got my first real pay check from work a while back. it was smaller than i thought it would be, and it won't get much bigger. not unless i get those sales up!! but i'm not gonna try to get those sales up, and i'm not gonna complain about taxes when most of it is going towards stuff i believe in, because if there's anything more important to me than money, it's moral superiority. |
