so, i've been really depressed lately. a number of factors (*cough* americorps *cough*). this morning i got up and was hungry. i went to search through the kitchen, even though i knew what was there. pasta. canned corn. cheese. a freezer full of meat. government cans of salted pork. rotten broccoli. things like that. i couldn't handle it. i've been living on pasta and bread lately and it just makes me feel horrid. for reasons beyond my control, all the food we get in this program comes from walmart. ugh. so i decided to splurge. went out to a real grocery store and bought a bunch of veggies.

i got back to base. got out a mixing bowl, and proceded to make (and eat) a salad the size of my head. it had baby spinach, alfalfa sprouts, cherry tomatoes, garbanzo beans, jalapeno slices, crumbled feta, and orange slices. it was, without a doubt, the best thing that has happened to me in 2008.

but i'm mildly entertained.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, rock_to_a_tree sent to me...

Twelve dreads drumming

Eleven depugis piping

Ten cats a-leaping

Nine adventures dancing

Eight trees a-cuddling

Seven breasts a-wandering

Six friends a-learning

Five bo-o-o-ooks

Four picnics

Three sexy volcanoes

Two warm blankets

...and a travel in an obscurity.

Get your own Twelve Days:

i am a woman.

i am a young woman.

this does not mean i'm incompetent, and i've very tired of being treated that way.

every time i'm angsty and trying to figure out a direction, i figure it out within hours of talking to you. can i keep a miniature version of you in my pocket? and will you dance?

there's like, 2 inches of snow outside. and granted there's some also packed down underneath it, but i can't drive! i got in my car to go to work, drove about a quarter of a mile, stopped at a stop sign, and it wouldn't go. all i could do was slide around and reverse. so i reversed. all the way back to the house. but to park i had to go up a slight hill. car don't like slight hill. took a long time. now i'm missing work, because i can't get to anywhere. ach. i should have carpooled this morning. i thought my car would be ok with all season tires here, it was the last time i wintered in michigan. so irritated.

you know what i miss wicked bad? latin. for halloween i was making some paper tombstones to go with some animal skulls and bones and for the human one, i wrote "hodie mihi, cras tibi". and it sent me into a wave of nostalgia for latin. its delicious grammar and delightful phrases. i really feel like arbitrarily trying to translate things. i think it would soothe my brain. maybe i'll do that.

lately all day every day it feels like group 4 all over again. except with more people. and 24/7. i'm having a hard time shaking things off.

i need a hug.
