if i'm supposed to be drawing you a picture, i'm getting to it (slowly). i attempted to draw one on my laptop and upon seeing the result, decided to stick with the more conventional desktop for drawing. as if it weren't bad enough already, ha.
anyway, i've been thinking about a load of things. once again certain people in my life have burdened it to the point of exhaustion (on my part) and annoyance (on my part as well). second, i have been struck with a sudden bout of insomnia as of late. i think that part of it is caused by my subconcious, which does not want me to sleep out of absolute fear. i don't know any other reasons why i would be unable to sleep. i am tired. i am able to sleep during the day. just not at night, not when it's silent in my house, not when everyone else is asleep.
on a less vital but still serious note, i have a quesiton for those who don't live in coastal regions. how do you tell directions? just, in general. i am thinking of moving soon after high school graduation and the prospect of being unable to tell directions literally scares the shit out of me. here, i always know which way i am going because of the beach. beach = east; opposite of beach = west; home = south; nmb = north. it's all pretty easy for me. but when i go to places like ohio, and even las vegas for example, i was totally lost. i've been going to ohio biannually since i was born so it's not a matter of just not being used to the area. i just have no idea if i'm going north or south or east or west when i'm anywhere without an ocean. las vegas was totally confusing. there were 2435084 ways to get one place and it was just... complicated. hmm. i don't know. i was just curious, anyway.
ok. ahem. i think i am going to miami january 21-24th and boston over spring break. i think that is the plan. i'm not ruling out las vegas for spring break either. (yeah right, i'm aware of the chances of that).
exams are on wednesday january 20 and thursday january 21. hmm. those days are familiar for some reason. the 20th especially. *thinks* hmm i've got nothing.
anyway. happy mlk, jr. day, teacher work day, and... there's a full moon on the twenty-fifth! hoorah. (can you tell i got a calendar for christmas? if not, i did. i like it. it's sort of exotic. it's not a las vegas calendar though. that would be nice. i meant to buy one for this year. heh. don't you think calendars are sort of an awesome christmas present though? in general, for acquantices and whatnot. i mean, who doesn't need a calendar?)
