A shiny new machine?

[lzzlu]

Am in love with life just now, for no reason immediately apparent, especially since this is the week of the semester when everything is in turmoil and since I have been living in squalor, wearing clothes from the bottom of the dirty clothes pile, which I tell myself probably weren't dirty when I threw them in there, subsisting off of handfuls of crackers and meeting snacks instead of real meals, and sporting hair full of kinks and puffs that is simply not acceptable on any terms. But I have begun the cycle of laundry, and fully intend to shower and fix my hair all nice before crawling in to a made and cleared off bed, so things are looking up. Tomorrow morning perhaps I will eat yogurt and granola and waffles for breakfast instead of sour peach candies from a bag on my floor. Also tomorrow I must give a presentation on Erythronium propullans, and I am very sad because the stock of available nice photos of the plant is very limited. There will be nothing to distract my audience from the gaping void that is my knowledge about the Minnesota Trout Lily. I am being driven on through sleepiness by the one-hour office Christmas special and the "choose-your-own-adventure" sketch comedy show which are tomorrow. I'm operating on the hope that the 5 days between end-of-classes and my exams will be plenty of time to do all that needs to be done (including packing and moving everything I own, and studying for a chem final which from this angle sounds like a plain and simple impossibility) and have faux christmas and favorite drinks and a capella. I'm afraid that reality is going to club me in the face when I wake up Saturday morning and realize that 5 days is not very long. oh but suddenly I'm concerned that I appear cold and unfeeling? I've become one of those novel stereotypes who is incapable of expressing any sort of emotion. Oh dear. Oh well! things for now are happy! my hanging vases need filling with flowers, though.

I want to go to the beach house, and I want everyone I love to live in the same place as me!

To me the weakerthans make me feel like things that I loved but will never do again and never see again
