i am restless and i feel nerdy. i like being restless, i love the lull. (lullov) but i love the lull because i know what follows it and as much as it seemed to stress me, i am excited for it, the work, the strain on my brain to learn something new, the closeness of adam doing the same, bending minds around new concepts, pointless maybe, but they are puzzles. and all i have to do is try my hardest and get grades that don't suck, and the less they suck, the better i am at puzzle solving, and the better i feel, my only reward now is grades. i don't get money, i don't have a job, and i don't want one. they want me to have one.
they say,
you're smart but you're not driven.
let me finish my degree, and then let me know if i'm driven or not.
i was losing weight, but boyfriends make me happy and fat. but i'm glad he's back.
i finished reading 2001 space odyssey, i was going to get 2010 space odyssey, then i found childhood's end also by clarke but then i remember my roommate telling me the only sci fi i should read is enders game so i got that. i really like how clarke wrote the planets, solar system, galaxies, stars. you feel so alone in space reading it, but you feel in awe, and not scared... like david bowman.
so did david bowie get his stage name from the book?
oh nevermind, i just looked it up on wikipedia and feel like every body (every body whose any body) already knew this,
"David Bowie had taken Bowman's name into account when deciding his stage name. He would later reference the title Space Odyssey in making his famous song, Space Oddity."
i don't want to have a "party" tonight, i want to go to one. i am not in the mood to clean up beer this weekend.
