my boring life, con't.

my boring life.

so, while dad and zack sit on the beach on the outer banks of north carolina, my mother just gets home from a 2 week trip to london, and my aunt and her family trapse around europe for 1.5 monts. and me? i fill out forms, go to drs appts, go to dentist appts.

my boring life. my major interaction with living beings, lily, max, ava and smudge. though today i did go to a movie. my boring life. its more overwhelming than boring i guess. i slept till 3 today, and had to force myself out of bed to go pick up my xanax prescription, then i had to force myself over to fern ridge to go swimming, where i lucked out and stepped on a broken glass bottle, but didn't do any damage. i'm wearing my tevas from now on.

i chickened out of going to work today. i just couldn't do it. gonna talk to dr c tommorrow just to verify that i'm doing the right thing for right now, even though i feel like one big failure. i'm not doing anything, and essientally i'm waiting around to hear if i'll get paid for not doing anything.

if that happens, then i've grandiose ideas of going back to the local community college and taking german 101. i took 4 years in high school, and one semestter as an undergrad. what will it do for me? who knows, except that i'd rather attempt to learn a language i already have a foundation in than a brand new one, re: spanish. hopefully if i di this i'll fly through 101 and continue to take more and more excellerated courses. i have no idea why. it just seems like an interesting idea.

but all this is based on whether i get long term disability insurance.

yes, my boring life. ususally i go at least some place every year.. whetther it be to california or back east. no more money means no more travelling. which totally sucks because i'd really like to take a trip somewhere.

anyhow, my boring life.'

oh, and i heard that bush signed this big buesiness bill that is supposed to punish big buessinesses who pull an enron.... thats all i know, but i don't trust it. no fucking way do i trust it. there's gotta be some really fucked up things in that bill for that dumbass to sign it.

traveling... hmmmm... I went 20 miles away from home base last night, got stuck in road construction, ran all my gas out waiting for the pilot car to come get my line of traffic, found a gas station, automatic fuel door wouldn't open on my car... and this is why I don't travel.

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke
brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
