i think this new work schedule might actually work out after all...i made it before 7am no problemo two days in a row...that's totally amazing to me...



so last night i had a discussion w/ my friend tony about whether or not it's a good idea to wear one's heart on one's sleeve. some of you may *gasp* at the thought that maybe i don't think i should wear my heart on my sleeve any more...now rt would tell me, 'sarah, your heart's in your chest...not on your sleeve...' but that's besides the point...you guys know what i'm talking about here...



...how much of your heart do you reveal and to whom? my line of defense to tony was that you should save those parts of yourself, the deep parts of your heart, for the ones who won't squander what you share with them...he still disagrees with me...i admit that the main motivation for this tactic would be self-defense...now i used to think that i was the type that didn't care how hurt i got...i was gonna wear my whole heart on my sleeve, damn it!...in fact, i was gonna walk around with my heart permanently sewn onto my sleeve...yeah, well, now i'm reconsidering my whole philosophy on that...



i'm not so pissed off today as i was the past couple days...but it's not over yet...

ok. i have to say that i really like my new color scheme around here...and caleb agrees...and i really like it that my links don't have those annoying lines beneath them...it's much cleaner this way...and i dig that crimson...and i figured out how to do all this by stealing source code...i'm so proud of myself! oh, and this is my new home page...my cousin casey told me i should make this my home page cuz it gets updated more than my other page. which is true, i suppose...



well, i was gonna go see damien jurado & dave fischoff tonight*, but...i got a phone call as i was getting out of the shower, and that phone call ended up taking up the next two hours of my time...like i could run over to schubas right now in my jammies and i'm sure i'd still catch damien, but i'd rather not...but the phone call was important so i'll get over it...damien will be back soon...although i did wanna hear adam voith read from his new novel. check that out here if ya wants.



i have a new work schedule...let's see how long this lasts...7am to 3:30pm or somewhere around there...so i am going to bed now because i have to be up at around 5:30am which is still more like 4:30am pre-daylight savings time era...



today i listened to seven head division's ep which was put together just for this tour they're doing...it was awesome...those boys RAWK!!!



*like how many times have i started a sentence 'i was gonna go see _____________ tonight, but...' like too many times i'd say...

this is going on in our country...



this is going on in their country...



and this is some fiction inspired by what's going on written by a friend from high school...

oh...i changed my blogger template because that black background w/ bright yellow font was bringing out violent tendencies in me...so i decided to go with a calmer look...sorry if you like the old look better...but there are gonna be changes around here, damn it, and it's starting with this blogger!

daylight savings time has turned my world upside down...that which made me happy now only annoys me to no end...and when i should still be in bed, here i am at the office after having been on the clock already for 50 minutes and it's not even 8am yet, and technically, according to my body, it's not even 7am, which means that i actually woke up at 4:30am this morning...i am convinced that i am inherently rebellious, and because i know that with the time change, i should want to get up an hour later than normal since that would be what i'm used to, instead, i'm getting up THREE HOURS earlier than normal...all because i'm not supposed to by any logical standard...go figure...



i am still in the pissiest mood i have been in a long LONG LOOOOOOOOOONG time...when this cloud will lift, there's no telling...beware the thundercloud that is SJR...and don't ask...i'm too pissed off to talk about it...



why the hell am i still in chicago? i should be in seattle by now...that was the plan...i am resuming the plan...even if i have to substitute teach and temp or what not...it'll serve me right...



this weather sux...
