Twitter in Plain English

Because I'm just no good at explaining things sometimes.

Lineas


Because I haveTwitter on the brain, only short random tweet-esque lines. Hopefully, regular blogging will resume momentarily.

In the opening paragraph I was going to type 'random short tweet-esque...' but it didn't read right to me. Any clue why?

What's with the buffalo in my dreams? Do recurring animals means something?

I'm tired of trying hard for nothing.

Attempting to set goals for the day, failing miserably. Even when I only put a few things on the list. Than I feel bad because I can see the tasks I'm avoiding instead of them just being nebulous and in my mind.

Firmly believe 'ness' can be added to just about any word.

What is it that makes for awkward pauses, pauses, and laughter when parents or like-aged people use slang? Don't they get that some things they just shouldn't say?

Why does he ignore me? Why?

It's crazy how many beads and things I've bought in the last month. Geez! Need to start using them. (refer to post picture, I hope to upload it to Flickr soon with notes.)

Cranford is incredibly sad. It needs to overplay for humor because the somber/serious parts are near morbid. Stop with the death already!

I love brownie sundaes.

If talking about a problem gets you upset and not talking about it makes you want to talk about it...what is your REAL problem?

I got my jumprings, the stainless ones I've been jonesin' for for a loooong time. (when you're unemployed for a long time, wants get sacrificed for the sake of needs) I'm slowly making progress with it. I'm not sure I'll list it because I'm not sure how well I like it. Someone needs to tell newbie chainmaille-ers that at the beginning the chain will look like crap but that doesn't mean you've messed up. Just keep going. We shall see.

I returned one strand of 12mm aventurine and bought another. Still not exactly the same color but way closer than the other ones I bought. Much happier...I almost skipped out of the store.

Have another new idea. Not exactly sure how to make it, but it'll come to me. Always does. Just hope I can do it justice. So new things will be coming soon.

Ages

I feel again, like I'm standing at some strange crossroads of life. Found another old classmate on Facebook. While this 'find' doesn't throw me into the chaos the previous one did, it does give me pause. We're not kids anymore.

I keep meeting new people as leave behind one place and go to another. It's amazing how I've never left the state yet I rarely run into people I once knew after I've left that 'circle'.

But I can't help but wonder what happened to the people I've known, the kids I went to school with, back when I went to school. (was homeschooled from 5th grade on) In that time, with the advent of Facebook and email and other social media sites it's easier to stay in touch. But about 4/5 crucial years were missed with me and them. When email was too new and Facebook didn't exist. So what do I do?

I'm more curious than anything. What have they been up to? More than me no doubt. How they've grown up without me just like I've grown up without them. Something particularly entrancing about childhood friends. I seem to have lost all of mine. It makes me sad.

So, it's May. New month.

It's amazing how easily I slipped right back into my pre-job life. Staying up late, staying on the computer too long, accomplishing zilch. haha. I don't know. It's strange.

I bought some 12mm aventurine beads but have decided, through much deliberation to return them. They're the wrong color, too murky and not minty. Some things can't be bought online. This may be one of them. I don't WANT to be $16 for a strand, retail price at the stores around here. I need these beads.

SAT tomorrow! If I think about it, I could freak myself out, so I don't think about it. I've studied and I'm confident I'll do well in everything except some of the math because I just don't think math-wise. Words and language are my thing. *sigh* We shall see.

Post Picture:Me. My self portrait from yesterday. I put a lot of pressure on myself to be a create brilliance. I can't live with that pressure anymore though. It's wearing me out.
