Cemetery rain

Day 10: Put your music playlist on shuffle and write the first ten songs that play.
I mostly use Spotify now and have several playlists. Each playlist has a specific meaning and all the songs on them are similar or tell some sort of story together, so it wouldn't really work out. I'm just going to talk about what I've been listening to lately. I've been listening to a lot of Balance and Composure lately. A LOT. I just discovered Margot and the Nuclear So and So's. I quite like them. I found them when I was listening to Dispatch's Spotify radio station. Dispatch is cool too. Swear and Shake is another new one that I like.  I'm really into Now, Now. Since the Eisley concert, I've fallen in love with them as well. I've been listening to a lot more female artists/singers lately.

Thought of you when his lips grazed my neck
Thought of you with his hand up my dress
I thought of you after and before
Wonder if you think of me anymore

My drawing for drawing class went over very well in critique today. It's a self portrait in which I look pissed off. I was surprised at how much everyone liked it. The good news is I turned in my portfolio and sketchbook, so I never have to worry about those again. My drawing class went to the cemetery today.  We didn't get much work done because it started raining. So we went home. Yeah... Cool story, I know.

Yeah, this is boring. Caleb and I both come home on the same day in exactly one week. C'mooooon.

Day 9: How important you think education is
Uh, pretty fucking important. Ignorance and stupidity is by far the biggest problem in this country, if not the entire world. Studies have shown links between more educated people and lower birthrates. Which would greatly help our overpopulation problem. It's true that all stupid people do is breed. Like rabbits.

So, my super intense week is almost over. Then it's a super intense weekend (if I can bring myself to get shit done), and an easy-going week after that. I CAN'T WAAAAIT. >.< I stayed up til after 4am finishing that research paper. But at least I got shit done. It's a damn good research paper too, if I do say so myself. My papers are always good though. I'm not bragging, but.... Okay, I'm bragging. I've got to work on my stuff for Drawing class that's all due tomorrow.  Meaning, I have to do a drawing (always takes about 4 hours) and work in my sketchbook (will probably also take 4 hours at least...). If I start now, I can maybe be done by 1am. Honestly, the sketchbook is only worth 10% of my grade, so I'll probably half-ass it and not even do everything that's required. Oh well. I just want to get the fuck out of here.

I'm insatiable

Day 8: What you ate today
I don't eat much lately. For breakfast I ate some scrambled eggs. Then I just ate Easy Mac about an hour ago. That's the day's food intake.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder
Fondness makes the absence longer 
Length loses my interest, I’m a realist, I’m insatiable


It's 9pm and I need to START on a research paper that's due in the morning. It's not complete procrastination this time though. I've actually been working A LOT lately. And all the work I've been doing has kept me from doing other work. I've gotten a lot done this week and it's still not enough... Fuck my life.

Little Hell

Day 7: Five pet peeves
1. When creationists say, "I didn't come from no monkey!" No one ever said monkeys were in this equation...
2. A bunch of little things that basically fall under the category of: Hypocrisy.
3. Leaving my door open when you leave the room.
4. When people always want to be a victim and want pity. You better feel sorry for yourself because I'm not going to feel sorry for you.
5.Music Nazis. I'm in my own room listening to the music that I want to listen to. I will not change it to what you want to listen to or quit playing music just because you don't like this song. If you really can't stand it that much, you can leave.

So, Nate and I are temporarily not on speaking terms. Just my luck this whole thing has to be a fucking slooow process. I didn't want him to hold any resentment toward me because honestly I don't deserve it, but coming out of this, I can tell he's going to. And that's okay. I'd rather he be angry with me than sad at all.

I'm going to be super busy for the rest of this week... I'm hanging in there. I can't fall apart just yet. After next Friday I'll be home free...

Day 6: Your views on mainstream music
It just sucks that record labels make bands fit into a certain sound. The shit on the radio is just that: shit. Because it's all the same. They use a formula for the "perfect" or most "catchy" song, and virtually ALL the songs on the radio, especially pop songs, use it. I prefer indie music because I feel music should be the work of the people creating it. It should be what THEY want. I don't support record labels making such large profits on SOMEONE ELSE'S talent either. So, that said, I really don't like a lot of mainstream music. I don't like how it sounds, I can't get into it, and it's not "art" in the sense that makes music art. It's just crap. But, I'm not going to refuse to listen to something solely because it's mainstream. I'm not stupid. I'll give anything a chance. And I do like a handful of mainstream artists.

Today was a little better I guess. Not too stressful. I didn't wake up as early as I intended, but I did work out and that made me feel better. I guess it just wore me out, so I can't waste energy worrying about shit. So... yeah. Energy more productively spent. I've got a lot to do still. I'm trying to keep a good pace as to not dig myself into a hole...
