Lack of sleep drives you to do strange things.

My fatigue soon overpowered my will to be weird,
And my phrases started making less and less sense.
So I slept. But you can call me Ryck Mayan now.

Wrench in the works.

I feel as though I have so much and so little to think about simultaneously. At random intervals each day, my mind swims with fun, cool, interesting things. Revelations, ambitions, manners in which I could find personal betterment.. But as soon as I say "what was that thing that I thought of earlier.." Poof. Gone... It's aggravating and disheartening. If I could ask to be better right now in one skill above all others, it wouldn't be for something like athletics or academics. Nope, if I could enhance a single ability, it would be my memory. If I could simply recall the things I've daydreamed, or the consequences of my mistakes, or my methods of rectification for those mistakes, I could place them all neatly on a table and piece them together like a jigsaw puzzle. I could poke and prod at these things, find what makes them tick, adjust them, perfect them, and in turn, I would be a better person. I feel as though this is the only snag on my sleeve holding me back from a greater sense of accomplishment, and yet it's such a daunting hindrance to overcome. Acquiring a Better Memory: A Simple, Step-By-Step Instruction Booklet. I wish.

First a spark, then a flame, now a fire,

we explode.

I was overdue for a crappy day.

All that was on my mind this morning while I was driving were my exams. All that was on my mind during my exams was the fact that I backed into Bryce's truck moments before school.

Fuck me. I was actually shaking during my math exam, it was bad. Just hope my insurance doesn't go up.

It's likely that my math replacement test didn't go too well, though I do hope it was better than the Finances test. Only had to make uneducated guesses for 2 out of 25, as opposed to guessing 6 of 15 on finances. Ugh, that was horrid. And I don't have high hopes for my english essay either. Just seemed way too vague. Oh, and apparently I wasn't even there for first period this morning. He marked me absent and we got a call. Thankfully I was able to back it up with evidence that I was there because I wrote my math test.
[edit: replacement was worse than my finance exam, and I got 100% on my english essay. Go figure]

In addition to that, my knee is a mess, and I have a track meet this weekend where I will fail at hurdles in front of MANY people as opposed to like 20 or 30 as I did last weekend. Oh, great, I have a blister on both feet as well, from playing dodgeball.

Oh, another thing now, my sister's iPod was stolen from the staff room at Petland today. They caught a guy on a security camera who was rummaging through her purse. So right now she's chilling there, feeling quite distraught, waiting for the police to arrive so she can make a statement. Thankfully the halfwit stole her make-up bag thinking it was her wallet, so at least she's got her license, money, and other things of that sort still.

And right now I'm preparing for a social essay, which I'm not all too worried about, but it's still a total drag to get ready for. And to write, for that matter.

Advantages:

1. I get to sleep in tomorrow because my Sports Performance teacher said he won't be taking attendance.
2. After tomorrow it will be all over for a while.
3. Dodgeball starts rather soon after exams, and the chances of failure are way less slim this year.
4. This crappy day is nearly at its close. 
5. I still can't say that I'm unhappy with life in any way.

Rise above the little things.

For last year's words belong to last year's language
And next year's words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.

I love when you don't even know what day of the week it is because it doesn't matter in the slightest. Today, I was trying to get over the fact that it's 2010 (not that it makes a hell of a lot of difference). And then since I always think, for example, of what day of the week Halloween falls on, I discovered that I couldn't even guess at the present day. Maybe that's bad. But I like it. Because although it's nearly time to admit that the holiday is coming to a close, it's nice to know that I truly am not worried or stressed about anything right now. Like deadlines, or schedules, or going to bed early or waking up early. When school starts, I'm not going to be able to enjoy this feeling. I bet you that as of January 5th, I'll know exactly what day of the week it is until June. It's just how life works. So, for the few days I have left, I shall continue to live absolutely impervious to any sort of time-measurement. That's the only way one can truly enjoy the holidays.

As for New Year's resolutions? Umm. I can probably think of a few.

1. Try not to tear any more holes in the space time continuum. We all know how much of a nuisance that can be.

2. Try not to associate too often with invertebrates. Specifically of the coelenterate variety, which includes jellyfish, coral and sea anemones.

3. Don't leave the oven on.

4. Try not to use superpowers for ill.

5. Be sensible when it comes to the treatment of geese, especially really tiny ones, otherwise known as 'goosecous.'

6. Read "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Heard it's pretty sweet.

7. Find another weird talent or two.
