Repercussions of the Lifestyle

It's snowing/sleeting weirdly here. I can't quite tell what the weather is doing. Walking home from work was really super gross.

I've been laaaaaaaazy this week.

I suppose it's just a repercussion of my lifestyle. I'm so busy, all the time. All, all, all the time. And now that most of my major projects are done, almost all motivation has stopped. I really like sleeping, but I also like to stay up late and shit around. Usually, staying up late to shit around wins out, because ... I'm very, very good at distracting myself.

A part of this new trend is that I'm planning my next tattoo. There will be pictures of ideas up at the blog. The next one will probably be pretty small, a text tattoo. I have ideas for a full-back piece, but that's a huge commitment, and ... they are forever after all. I'm also wondering if I want to do something that I've written, or something that someone else has written. As a writer, it would be really cool to have my own words on my body (and potentially more creative). But it might also be weirdly narcissistic. But would it also be strange to have someone else's words on me?

It's a dilemma. I'm obviously not going to get another tattoo for a very long time, but I'm still designing it and will sit on the idea for a long time. Probably until after I graduate. A lot can change in the next couple of years.

I wrote a poem for Creative Writing, and I really like it. That makes me happy - I'm becoming more interested in poetry than I've ever been. Maybe it's because it's easier to write poetry in college than it is to finish any sort of narrative. It's a one-shot, sit down and get a full draft right away. I can also experiment more.

Don't get me wrong, I still love the novel, but it's on a strange sort of hiatus until I can get time to really work on it.

I've caved, and decided to buy an iPod. I miss having portable music ... and iPods have so many awesome things that attach to them. And they're shiny, and ... MISS portable music devices! Especially now that I'm busing a lot of places around the cities. iPods are nice for that. On a side note: I've been pirating music from Hannah, and she has the Dr. Horrible soundtrack. Ooooh, the wonder that is Joss Whedon! I still really need to finish Firefly. Kira: Firefly soon, yes?

It's been a technology/music sort of week.

Pictures of new boots are coming, as well as the new shirt I'm wearing. Potentially a dress too (it's a sexy little casual thing). Actually, picture post in general coming later.

Tonight's docket looks like reading the play for acting tomorrow, and then reading some Vonnegut. I bought "Slaughter-House Five" and "Breakfast of Champions" last weekend, and am dying to get started on them. I've been in a Vonnegut mood for a while now.
