brand spankin new

There wouldn't be much point to me trying to explain the difference I feel between yesterday and today. Many of you would not understand it. In fact, even if I were to do a perfect job of describing the way I have felt for the last week, and then did the same for the way I feel today, so that you almost were feeling the emotions yourself, you still would not feel the way I am feeling. I feel reborn. I feel completely renewed. I feel free. I'm not sure why it took so long. Some times take longer than others I suppose. It's strange though. You might learn this lesson a dozen and a half times over the span of your life, and still each time it feels as though you've had some sort of an epiphany. As though you've just learned something completely and entirely new, something life changing that you had never thought of before. When really, it's almost the same lesson over and over again: just have faith. So here I am, once again, feeling empowered and equipped. Feeling ready to move forward. Who knows what lies ahead?

i wish i could stop time when i have homework to do

Right now I am supposed to be doing homework, in a bad way. There is a lot of writing I need to do. A large a lot. I have been in front of this computer for a good 2 hours. And I have suddenly realized, I haven't got the foggiest clue of what to write. At all. I sit down. I look at the assignment sheet. I look at my notes. I look at the screen. Nothing. It stares back at me, blank; a perfect reflection of what is in my head. Nothing. How discouraging is that? No ideas. No creative juices flowing. No nothing. (Somewhere, someone is thinking, That's a double negative, Alyne. You must be thinking something.) But no, there really is nothing. In fact, I don't even want to try to think of something. I actually would rather be anywhere else, doing anything else, than sitting here right now. I would rather weed a swamp, I would rather go hunting up North for a moose, I would rather clean the bathrooms of everyone I know, I would rather sit through a Barry Manilow concert. You name it, you hate it, I would rather be doing it. This has to end sometime right? Well, seven more weeks. Here's to making it through this one.

boycott cars

Today I hate all cars in every form. They are all evil. My car was stolen. I have no car. The brakes on my parents' Jeep just failed. They have no car. My brother has a car, but he needs it today. As a result I am missing school which, at this point in the semester, is not the greatest thing of all. I'd like to organize a boycott against the manufacturing of all vehicles. Anyone who'd like to join me, let me know. I'm sure we could organize something. Everyone else is boycotting, why can't I? Here are some others who are boycotting vehicles for their own reasons: Boycotting General Motors: http://www.greenmatters.com/gm/subscribers/activism /hummerh2.php3 Boycotting Ford: http://www.boycottford.com Boycotting SUV's: http://boycottcity.org/view/index.php?itemId=107
