I have two New Year's resolutions for 2010 (ish...since the old Pagan year technically ended October 31 and the new one kind of started then but also kind of starts tomorrow on Yule...it's complicated).  Anyway, my resolutions that will take effect starting tomorrow:
1. For each new book I want to buy, I will read two that I already own (and haven ( Read more... )

D.J. and I had a conversation last night about our "goals" and how each of us is flailing about not achieving them. Like, I try to do too many things that I think will help me out in some way and don't leave any time to write, and he feels like he has to do everything else before he can start writing (vacuuming, dishes, etc.) and then neither of ( Read more... )

Pittsburgh has a strange, strange grip on me ( Read more... )

1. I figured out what I need to do to fix Terpsichore and make it publishable.  I'm psyched, and I wish I could fix it now, but I need to go to bed.  (Note to self in case I forget somehow: Alyssa's air tank needs to develop a severe leak that takes way too long to fix, and then just when she's running really low on oxygen, that's when the airlock ( Read more... )

New mantra: "Let it go, Kelly."

I'm about to start writing, and I'm excited.  And as long as Pitt decides to not suck for once, I should be able to pay my rent tomorrow.

Once I get some writing done, I'm going to go down to campus, pick up my paycheck, cash my paycheck, hand in some job applications around the Hillman, add/drop (I'm taking a really ( Read more... )

It's become obvious to me that I'm still rather fragile and kind of broken.  But I'm getting the pieces back together.  These things just take time, I suppose.  But I have no idea why I feel like crying ( Read more... )

I did my presentation today and it went really well.  The only (major) problem was that for some reason the computer I was using turned my serif font into this all caps crazy circus-like font for some strange reason.  Usually when a computer doesn't have the appropriate font it just turns it into times or times new roman.  But no, not this computer ( Read more... )

I can't sleep, although I suppose that's no surprise ( Read more... )

My heart is beating too fast for me to sleep.  The city drifts up through my windows, and I think.  I need to write more.  The only way I seem able to find myself, and ground myself, and keep myself from becoming too insane, is to write.  And lately I've been feeling incredibly insane.  I don't like to think myself the tortured writer or any such ( Read more... )

I'm not going to lie, I'm feeling rather ignored and unloved.  Everyone's busy, I get it.  I guess it just sucks for me that I'm not.  I'm used to it, so *shrug.*

A few friends and I are taking an impromptu road trip to NYC this weekend, hopefully.  Maybe it will jolt me out of this slump I'm in.  I just feel lethargic and unmotivated lately.  That' ( Read more... )
