The dried wakame
is now like black sesame--
all over my floor.

misuraru* ga
fueru wakame wo
tabechatta.

moshi neko ga
kore wo tabettara
shinjau no?

*mythral--my idiot cat.

(translations of the above haiku)
Uh, oh...Mythral ate the dried seaweed.

If a cat eats this...will it die?

I'm afraid of death and dying. I'm afraid because I have so many ideas, so many things that I want to do. I have so many stories I want to tell and so much I want to contribute. I feel like I'm a vessel filled with good things waiting to be translated and actualized, and I'm terrified that I will die before I do something great. Because I can do ( Read more... )

Well, I haven’t been doing a lot of posting on this particular LJ account because most of my energy, recently has been going into school, work, and writing. I’m sure those of you whom I’ve spoken with in the last few weeks know that I’ve begun doing the Artist’s Way again. I can’t tell you how changing this is, and how much it’s meaning to me ( Read more... )

amity wants me. i'm so happy, but i'm unable to type with a few of my keys--the kitties overturned a mug of tea onto my keyboard and now i have to take my laptop in to be repaired. i don't have a shift key, so i'm unable to show emotion in my typing. i also am unable to type the letter see or eks...or use [ontrol or [aps lo[k. i feel like i'm going ( Read more... )

So normal people work eight hours a day, right? Five days a week? ... I respect people who can do that, because I don't think it's in me. At least, not for this job. I've had two seven and a half hour and one eight and a half hour shift...and am getting ready to embark on my second eight and a half hour shift. Even in flat shoes, this is killing my ( Read more... )

I don't have the energy to come up with anything clever right now. I drove for a while then worked from five until midnight. I have to work again at 11, and this time I work until 7. How the hell am I supposed to do that? I hate closing and then working a mid-shift--it really sucks. I'm glad I'm going to be making a lot of money this week, or I'd ( Read more... )

Thank god. I'm finally finished with my TEFL course! It took me long enough--it was kind of hard to work on it while I was in school, and if I could have accessed modules before the other ones were graded, I'd have been done a long time ago. It sucks to have to WAIT to do work when I've got the momentum to keep going. I never know what to do with ( Read more... )
