To sleep or not to sleep?

Sleep seems useles now. However, this doesn't:

IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?
So, here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button

Brain? Are you there?

It's official, I think I have lost my brain.
Yesterday I barely did any work, I finished writing and editing a simplistic 500-700 word article, mine was only about 615 words...nothing tremendous.

But, I did work for 11 hours, and I was stuck in my car attempting to get home for another 2 hours and 20 minutes afterwards.
I had the biggest case of cabin fever in a while.
By the time I got off of 66, my head seriously hurt because of how long I was contained.
I phoned (ok, the other nurse phoned in) at 7 a.m., we phoned out at 6 p.m., I got home at 7:50...and by some form of magic, had my article in by 8...I don't know how, well, it's probably because it was poorly edited. But an article turned in on time but poorly edited is better than one turn in late, right?
I don't know, I see turning in articles late as a sign of disrespect and my professor is pretty awesome, so I wouldn't want to do that.
Actually, I have lucked out, both of my journalism professors are really neat.
They are odd, I will admit. When I tell my non-journalism friends about my classes (minus Becca) most of them look at me weird and don't understand why I am so excited about them, so I guess they take getting used to.

It's almost Thanksgiving, it seriously couldn't come any freaking sooner. Everyday my brain gets a little closer to explosion. And everyday I look forward to the day that my brain will explode and I will no longer have to do work.

I took the night off last night, and I didn't write at all...It was boring. I don't know why, I guess writing has become such a part of me that I actually need it to feel balanced. When I decided just to watch some TV and turn in early, it sound like a fun idea. But by the time I went to bed, I had about 5 ideas that I wanted to write about, but I knew I needed sleep.

And now, I must writing about "The Spoils of Poynton," by Henry James. Toodles.

Um, I do notice things, thank you...

I would like to point out, that I have noticed the drastic jump in my profile views since my last post (seven, to be exact).
While seven might not be a big number to popular bloggers, it is to me. My profile view count hadn't gone up in over a month!
Now, this is a message to all those profile viewers, comment.

I am a girl, meaning, I like things, and in this case, the only "thing" that is tangible, is a comment, or maybe even two.

Plus, I would like to note that comments make me more willing to post more. It shows that there actually is someone bored enough to not only read my entire ramble, but follow up on it too...which could be very impressive.

I was instructed to save this...

Shit, something made me realize that we lived our lives in circles
Everything goes in motion, what once was is only gone for a little bit of time
Great Grandfather was rebelling against his parents and acting in a certain way, Grandfather was rebelling against Great Grandfather and undoing everything he did, Father was rebelling against Grandfather and undoing everything he did, now we the children will be rebelling aginst father and try to undo everything he's done.
Not literal father, but metaphoric, as a generalized generation being a person.






That's also when I realized that my kids might be conservative and really and truly decided it would be best for me not to have kids.
Think about it, our kids will be conservative...we are at the breaking point of parties, in the next couple of years, we are going to witness a shift to the democratic party
Then the nation will rule democratic for a while, and in due time, it will shift back to the Republican party, and if I theorized properly, it could be when our kids would come into political rule


Becca: i see everyone becoming more liberal
Becca: there is a direct positive correlation between education and liberals
Me: If you add the word, "desired" before education
Me: Only those who care to be educated, and truly desire to work for their major, and later careers
Becca: this is true
