i've been thinking about writing plays. for myself this time, rather than for school. i put a lot of care into my assignments, but something different comes out of me if i know that i won't be graded. there's this freedom, this ability to do exactly what i want to do. basically, i've never written a play outside of school. and in a way, i think it

i feel strangely disconnected from everything lately, sort of like i did in high school. i see people, i talk to them, i listen, i do things, but there's this strange sense that i'm not entirely there. i'm probably i'm the only one who notices. it's just that i feel really lost inside my head. i'm thinking too much. i have all of these grandiose plans that i am not fulfilling, which means that they're simply taking up too much space in my head.

I feel exactly like this too. How bizarre. It's making work completely unbearable. I'm more easily distracted than usual and keep getting lost in my thoughts, or keep thinking wtf am I doing in this cubicle. hahaha.

yeah, it's pretty fucked. and the strange this is, it's not the same sort of disconnect that comes with depression or anything like that; it's more like an overdose of stimuli... but all the time, no matter where i am.

*the strange thing is

jeeeeeez. what's wrong with my head?

I don't wanna be mean - but maybe a ton of Elvis Costello could have the effect you describe. Toss on some Dixie Chicks, or maybe some Diana Krall. On the other hand, if it has some artistic purpose, just keep listening...

Lol? (just a giggle, maybe)

i have two bits of unsolicited advice ( i know, i know, the worst sort). first off, write what you know. know what is easier than making stuff up? ripping off stuff you have done or have personally seen. woot. and second, whenever in doubt, go back to your roots. for a while i was out of sorts. soemthign did not feel right. like a piece was missing to a jigsaw puzzle and i had no refernce picture to figure out the bit that was not there. know what i do now? play an absolute shit-ton of video games. just like i did as what we now call "a tween". and read copious amounts of comics. end result? the reviews i have been doing are fun and my friends think they are a riot. win. i just have to back off the wii and xbox and i can do more.

your results may vary.

i agree 100%. i always say that while i refer to everything i write as "fiction," i never truly write fiction. most of what i write comes straight from my life, stories i've been told, or some weird combination of the two. i exaggerate sometimes and underplay things sometimes, but i try to stay truthful. to me, there's nothing more infuriating than falsity.
