Out and about
Current mood: rejuvenated

 So I've been out and about for a few days now, virtually all day today. I've been hanging out with Chip all day, and having a lot of fun. This evening I'm possibly going to Renaissance this evening with Courtney and Nathan to see Collapsar and Stinking Lizaveta. I've never seen Stinking Lizaveta, but the name comes from Dostoevesky, so I'm already interested on a literary level (it will have nothing to do with it, but I'm a sucker for names like that.) My spirits have been uplifted the last few days, thanks to Courtney and Nathan being so cool. My environment apparently has a lot more to do with my mood and energy than I previously thought. I feel much better than I have been in quite a while. I hope you all are feeling good yourselves. I think the cool weather is making everyone feel better. Until next time, have a good evening.

Halloween
Current mood: content

I'm not sure about this Halloween thing. I always decide way too late that I'll particicpate. I am currently wearing a cowboy hat and have gotten some strange looks, so that's always good. Maybe I'll go out at least, maybe even attempt to dress up. Who knows. To everyone who is going out and whatnot, have fun and everything. Maybe I'll see you out.

What a nice weekend
Current mood: hungry

 If only I had gone outside this afternoon for anything instead of watching the Saints game. It was a beautiful day, not to mention weekend. I went to a fun show friday, I got to see a bunch of fun people. It felt very good to be out in the center of the world again. Now I just have to hold my breath and hope that we get the apartment we applied for last week, so I'll probably be nervous about that until I know one way or another. I have a good feeling though, so any positive energy you guys have left over could be helpful in this enterprise. Oh well I'm out, a friend of mine is making beef stew and I think it's almost ready. Have a good week.

All sorts of things to do today
Current mood: hopeful

 Checking out apartments. Gardening, possibly. A late dinner, probably. I really hope I can get this new place with my friend, it would be super-fantastic. I've felt a bit smothered lately. Like with dark gravy. And onions or something foul like that. Time to clear all of that off of me and be mobile again. Hopefully my aspirations for school next semester will not be yet another foul up. I've got high hopes though, I've done everything I'm supposed to do. Maybe it will work. Who knows. On a side note, I'm reading a book that I can't finish. Not because it's difficult, but because I don't want it to end really. Kinda silly, I know, but then what? Actually I think the next part is out, I just can't afford it. So I'm dragging it out. Oh well. Hope you all have a good day.

Waiting for Fitzmass, Joining the Jesuits
Current mood: horny

 I was hoping indictments would come down today for Fitzmass, but I might have to wait until Friday. The grand jury is done for the day, I suppose. I was ready to cackle for a while, but now I can't. Oh well.

I guess I could perhaps go to sleep. I just got my ambien refilled, and I just might take it and say no way to the rest of the day. Who knows. I was pondering seriously joining the Jesuits last sunday, It seemed like a great idea for a while until I realized I was listening to "The Girls of Porn" by Mr. Bungle. It was then that I realized that maybe I ought to think about that for a bit. I just don't know how monastical I could be. On the other hand, they share many of my political beliefs. And people would immediately distrust me, and that could be interesting. I slipped it into my "maybe" box in my head and I will review it at some time in the future. Now I think I'm going to sleep. I hope you all have a good whatever today, and watch out for the Spanish Inquisition.

Washing clothes and being cold
Current mood: cold

 I woke up a while back and have been kinda cold ever since. I'm sitting with a blanket wrapped around me while my clothes finish washing. Today will be fun. Milkshakes and cold weather. Yum. Oh yeah and I spoke with an old friend tonight who is back in the U.S. and not dead or blown up or anything. He gets to leave the military now and come home and make movies with us. That will be good fun, especially with the fact that he is not a corpse. I enjoy living people. OK I think the washer just stopped so I must go and transfer them to the dryer, so I hope you all have a good day, and have fun and whatnot. That's all.

Football kills me and the weather changing
Current mood: grumpy

 I just sat through yet another Saints loss. This one hit me somewhere deep in my soul, I think. I will have to make a big effort to not be grumpy for the next week.

  Besides the pain of football, everything is getting better. My energy level is slowly rising, I was actually able to get up and go visit my family yesterday (though not without taking a nap.) My grandma made me gumbo, and that was yummy. It's also getting colder, which I think will do me a world of good. I always get more energetic in the late fall and winter. Guess I live in the wrong place, because it does not stay cold here very often. Then it's back to heat and humidity sucking the life out of me. That's about as far away as it can be though, so I'm starting to feel a lot better. I've actually been able to stay awake and alert for the first time since last wednesday. My goal is to be able to make it out at least twice this week, at least Friday night, because there's a band I really want to see. The other night I'm leaving as random. When I make too many plans, things usually go awry. Well I hope all of you are doing well and hopefully I will see some of you this week.

Am I arrogant or condescending?
Current mood: surprised

 A friend of mine told me that when we were talking about something tonight I was very arrogant and condescending. She hinted that it might have something to do with me being an elitist intellectual because I was in Gifted, and that it made her think that I judge people by their IQ. I really do not see this, and I do not believe that I've ever judged or treated people differently because they were not as smart as I think I am. This is coming from my perspective though, so maybe I am an arrogant asshole and I just don't notice it. If I have ever treated you in this manner, I am truly sorry and I will be paying a lot more attention to how I treat people, and how I argue. I'd just like to know if I really do this or not, so if I have I would like to know about it. Again, if this is the case, I am very sorry and will be paying more mind to it in the future.

OK I really need to have some fun this week
Current mood: hopeful

 I'm still not sure if I'll be able to go to Galveston this week or not, but if I can't I still need to have a good time this week. The paper I spent all weekend doing got postponed for four days, meaning that I could have done something fun the last few days and worked during the week. Oh well. If I can't go see my sister, I'll do something else fun and exciting. I think I am in dire need of relaxation, balance, and lots of pretty girls. If things go as planned, I will be able to take care of all of these this week. I hope you all are doing well, and maybe I'll see some of you soon.

The most exciting weekend ever
Current mood: excited

 Not really. Yesterday I spent reading and playing video game football. Today, the methadone ran out, I went to Academy with Jason so he could buy some running shoes, and drank an Icee. I proceeded to watch the LSU game, read, and get started on writing a paper for a friend. I'm taking a break from that at the moment. The rest of my evening looks like reading about teratogens and their effect on infants, hopefully acquiring a milkshake (and maybe some more opiates to level me out), and reading some more. Tomorrow looks like more teratogens, then actually writing the paper after I watch the train-wreck that has become the Saints. Not the most exciting weekend I've had in my day, but next week I am possibly going to Galveston to see my sister and her kid so that will be plenty exciting enough for me. I really haven't gotten to spend any meaningful time with my nephew, so it should be a lot of fun. My little brother might come too, and I haven't hung out with him in a while either. So it could wind up being a little family reunion, without the booze and boring old people. I'm looking forward to it, so I really hope events don't shift so that this can happen. I can hang out on the beach for a few days, and I believe some friends of mine from Texas could possibly join us as well. My roommates will join me next weekend, and so the whole thing is looking very good. Even though sunlight is my enemy, I'll pretend it's not for a few days and have a good time. There is not a damn thing wrong with relaxing on the beach with family and friends. Yay.
