influenza?

man, the stomach flu is an unrelenting bitch. it started creeping up on me during my seminar wednesday night. then it spent all day thursday blossoming, until i was folded over the toilet at pete's aunt & uncle's house at around 8:30 puking my guts out. but it couldn't be satisfied, no. it had to linger through friday and saturday, just enough to make my stomach churn in the face of food and to make me all lightheaded during the critical moment of my attack on bowser.

i got a nintendo wii for christmas. there goes my gpa.
my parents should know better.

repeat

i believe in the sand beneath my toes
the beach gives a feeling
an earthy feeling
i believe in the faith that grows
and the four right chords can make me cry

when i'm with you i feel like i could die
and that would be all right

[third eye blind, semi-charmed life]

a little broken hearted

i keep imagining this time when i'll just pack up and move away. a job offer in a faraway city, surrounded by nothing familiar and nobody i know. to be with him. or an impulse. a romantic idea of fall on the east coast. something i read in a book.

i heard somewhere
"there are no denouements in dreams."

but i don't do lonely well.

oh yeahh

Puppy Chow

3/4 cup peanut butter
1 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup butter
8 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups powdered sugar

Melt the peanut butter, chocolate chips, and butter together. Pour over the cereal in a large kettle or bowl and stir well. Pour the powdered sugar into a large brown paper bag and add the cereal. Fold the bag to seal and shake well to coat evenly.

key themes

i made this list a while ago. middle of august, when the school year felt so far away and i felt unusually optimistic about how things would go. i could mope about all the things that haven't gone my way this month, but there are no excuses for that. i'm 21 now. it's time to get my shit together. so these are meant to be the key themes for 07/08. it's a work in progress, really.

i. eat healthy!
eat breakfast.
pack a lunch.
shop local / organic.
make lots & have leftovers.
make it fun.

ii. save money.
i guess it's not so much saving money as it is to just not spend so much.
i don't expect to come out of the year with a dollar to my name.
$900/month limit, including rent.

iii. kick school butt.
keep the gpa high.
library afternoons.
put the effort in.

iv. make the most of it.
