As Written to Owl City's OCEAN EYES album
I like to make myself believe that planet earth turns slowly,
It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep,
'Cause not everything is as it seems.--Fireflies, Owl City
Sometimes I feel like a total insomniac, like I'll go to sleep ever again. It tends to happen right when I'm on the verge of falling over. When I'm too tired to sleep and too wound up, like my brain won't shut off. I start noticing things, like the feel of my blanket on my legs, the soft pile of my stuffed fuzzy under my fingertips, fingertips that doesn't have much feeling anymore due to construction work. I concentrate hard on my breathing and it feels alien. GAH! That's painful to actually NOTICE something like that. Yuck.
Other times I just want to sleep and never wake up. I have lucid dreams, the air is warm against bare shoulders, and breathing happens so easily that sometimes I just forget to exhale.
I went to this restaurant tonight. The Crab-N. Never occurred to me that it would be one of those fancy seafood places. The food was horrible. The Chef should be ashamed. It was bland. BLAND! And I hate bland. And we will NOT be discussing the "Key Lime Pie". I just wish I had recorded Mom's reaction to a bite. The look on her face was priceless. Hey, I told her it was fake and gross.
Not MY fault she never listens.
Suffice to say; Dad refused to try any. At least SOMEONE'S tastebuds were spared.
Next time I want seafood (just watch, I'll want some more in a couple of meals), I'm going back to the Chinese place or the Boiling Pot. Mmmmm, CAJUN.
Have to move campgrounds next month. Mom and Dad finally got it through their thick skulls that Fulton, Rockport, and Aransas won't let us set up. Corpus Christi is HAPPY to have us. Oi. BLOODY. Vay. I was just about to give up and WALK back to Chii's house and beg her to take me in, at least until I managed to get a job and a place somewhere. She keeps mocking the cart so I don't think she'd let me take it back with me (especially if I left Mom and Dad high and dry). I'm too much a chicken to do that, though. Full of guilt for even THINKING it. Damnit.
Volunteered for an anime con. Video Room's my first choice. I tend to spend most my time in those, anyhow. Security's next, followed by Guest Relations. Figured it look good on my Karma Resume (And I get free rooming and into the Con for free so, nooooooo, I'm not doing it for ulterior motives! :D)
Circle me and the needle moves gracefully back and forth,
if my heart was a compass you'd be north.
Risk it all 'cause I'll catch you when you fall
where ever you go if my heart was a house you'd be home.--If My Heart Was A House, Owl City (EDITED TO ADD: Forgot to close my tag)
Finally finally finally FINAL-FRIKKEN-LY got a damned cuppa joe. I got it from the Allstate insurer. We have to insure the business. So I got a cuppa mostly cold joe while there. Ngh. One the plus side, found that Atkins now have two new coffee flavoured shakes. I picked up the caramel one, because I like caramel coffee. Haven't tried it yet but I hope like hell that it will be good, I have had coffee in a MONTH.
Have noticed something...off. I drink a diet soda (FOUND DIET RC! Sweetened with splenda, has caffeine, and it's GOOD! O.O) and a couple days later I'm dehydrated as hell. o.O At least, that's what Mom thinks happened. I was dehydrated for two straight days (finally hydrated back to normal today) for the first time since I've gotten here and I didn't think I had changed anything. I mean, I drink about 3-4 liters of water a day. I think. According to WikiAnswer, I get about 3.75 liters (give or take a pint, fuzzy math for the win!), by calculating how many times I fill my 32oz bottle (about 4 times). Still dunno how I got that dehydrated but I'm okay now so....meh.
Went to Cici's today while I was in Corpus. Ate 4 slices of pizza before my carb intolerance kicked in full power. >.< NO FAIR! I WANT TO EAT PIZZA AGAIN, DAMMIT! *POUTS* Ugh, I spent the next three hours feeling lethargic and sick. Can't even have a plate of 'sketti for dinner without feeling hung-over the next morning. That's just frustrating as hell. And I still haven't found a low-carb pasta that isn't gross.
I've been badly frustrating Dad lately. He was so happy to find PallMall cigs at Wally World for under $3 a pack....only to find them being DISCONTINUED. And I'm not buying him any others. Hahahahaqhhaha, he's gotten so damned ANNOYING lately dogdammitI'mgonnahurthimandMomiftheydon'tchillthehellout! GRRRRRRRR! ....I need a smoke.
The wind picked up today, and the canopy was on the ground when we got back. :-\ I was greatly surprised, I though Mom and Dad were going to blow up (they had been making HUGE SWISS ALPS out of mole hills lately). ....it was a pod-person moment when they said "meh" and pulled the canopy down. We're sans canopy now, but the part we need is this little thing that screws in. 16$. No problem. I'm still waiting for the blow-up.
Well, back hurts. Going to go to bed. Oh, and I need to go buy another MP3 player. I just downloaded over 3GIGs worth of Daft Punk. My MP3 player is only 4GIGs. And the entirety of Beethoven's Ode To Joy, three albums by Thrice, one album by Blue October, one album by Owl City, and about 18 (give or take 3) single songs by various artists (Including Waka-Laka). This thing is gonna be FULL.
Bed now, sleeps.
