the more i think about it, it seems like i’m the type of person who fails and fails and fails, and then suddenly failure gets a little tired of me. and somehow i get out okay.

i have a tendency to ramble in essay assignments. the guidelines said 1-2 pages. i spend half an hour editing myself to keep it in 2 pages.
an hour ago teacher sends out announcement that 3 pages is fine.
if this isn’t a symbol of my life somehow, i don’t know what is.

any good will i have with my mother is tested when she starts talking about guys and relationships and suggests i go on an online dating service.
i told her the conversation made me want to put my head through a wall. honestly, a part of me wants to never have children of my own just to end this shit here.

“Rick Santorum sees Nazis everywhere: in the Middle East, in doctor’s offices and...”
– DANA MILBANK, “Rick Santorum Cries ‘Nazi,’” in the Washington Post.
Whether its Republicans calling for legalized rape in Virginia or one of their presidential candidates comparing Obama to Hitler, conservatives feel like they can never take things too far.
The GOP is fucking shameless.

i guess i should be relieved to realize my overemotional state and high level of stress has to at least partly come from being in a hormonal time.
it does explain why i was so invested in that episode of gossip girl last night. i always related to blair and her rampant insanity, but never much cared for dan. it was odd to find myself squeeing like a 15 year old over a show i watch once every...

it’s been a strange day. i went up there, and luckily b wasn’t there - which was a relief. so i got stuff done without being put into that particular emotional state. then i talked to rachel just to make sure i wasn’t going to be fucked over in a month or so. she assured me, that indeed, i was not.
then i got into an odd conversation with my mother today. basically about how...
i’m trying to read and study this chapter, but i have nicki minaj super bass stuck in my goddamn head.
which means every sentence i read is interrupted by a tiny voice in my head going, ‘can’t you hear that boom, daboom, boom, boom, badoom, boom, bass. he got that super bass…’
fuck.

crystal castles - not in love (feat. robert smith)
teacher finally graded that paper which ticked off my obsessive compulsive tendencies and caused me to spend at least an hour in front of the computer eating one piece of gum after another. got 2 points taken off for mysterious reasons. i now have a 91% altogether.
i fear my control issues are getting stronger as i grow older. it’s days like today that really make me miss cigarettes. when i...

for the record, i hate biology. always have and always will. i forgot how much i hated science and math until i had to go back to studying some of this business.
i started reading this chapter and a part of my brain automatically goes, “nope. i cannot pretend to give a single fuck about understanding this.” i have to force myself into reading and re-reading this genetic stuff.

“In contrast to this cautious, sensible approach to life and the rather traditional values which you hold, there is another figure in your inner psychic drama which you have had to exclude or suppress from your usual conscious expression in order to preserve the security and the socially acceptable image which are so important to you.

my mother’s birthday is coming up in a couple weeks. i know she’d love these cupcakes - they’re beautiful, and i’m sure, delicious.
i think i’ll try to make them, but i’m sure they won’t come out quite as nice.

“there are men who struggle for a day, and they are good. there are others that struggle for a year, and they are better. there are some who struggle for many years, and they are better still. but there are those who struggle all their lives, and these are the indispensable ones.”

911 is a joke.
The people of Detroit are taking no prisoners. Justifiable homicide in the city shot up 79 percent in 2011 from the previous year, as citizens in the long-suffering city armed themselves and took matters into their own hands. The local rate of self-defense killings now stands 2,200 percent above the national average.
