Grace Notes @ Snarkattack

I haven’t been sleeping very well the last few days and thought that if I schedule an appointment early in the day it will force me to get up.

In my infinite wisdom, I thought that perhaps making myself look better, I’ll start to feel better. Sleeping for most of the day isn’t conducive to uplifting one’s mood. I was thinking that self-harm or self-injury often does an excellent job of stimulating the production of endorphins. How to achieve deuglification and potentially stimulate endorphins simultaneously?

Go to the beautician and get a Brazilian bikini wax.

In an attempt to not focus on my pitiful existence, I thought I’d write an open letter to the spider residing in one of the corners of my bathroom.

I don’t want to post about anything right now. I’ll put up a password-protected post to explain why and if you want the password feel free to use the contact form - please forgive me. It’s not been the best day.

Yep, I’ve definitely become a tech geek - the evidence being I find myself checking blogs about blogging such as Lorelle on WordPress. It’s a good read but I stumbled upon this article and chuckled - I wonder if she’s taking part in NaBloPoMo?

There is a small part of me that really wants to be a burlesque dancer. No, it doesn’t have anything to do with yesterday’s book purchase (or rather, I mean, I got that book because of my interest in it, rather than it making me interested in it).

Sadly, upon looking at the newly acquired book, it seems that I have this knack for picking professions I’m clearly meant to struggle to be any good at.

Yes, indeed I had a nice day. Being yanked out of bed after only four hours sleep meant that I was shaky all day: because holding your breath when you need to do something requiring coordination is so fashionable…heh. I think not.

A good long while back I wrote an entry about Blur’s album Parklife and just how awesome vintage Blur was.

Yet there is, in my opinion, an even better band led by a tall, gangly guy who wears suits no longer en vogue who would be nearly blind without his glasses/contacts. A man that at some stage once broke a few bones pretending to be Spiderman and featured the wheelchair he was previously bound to in stage shows.

Been trying to write a review. For nearly an hour, the page has but one sentence on it. Clearly, the review thing is not coming along. Generally, I write the introduction in my head and then get that on paper. The rest is quick to follow. No intro, no review.

Boy, this sucks.

I’d make this a private/password post except how will the NaBloPoMo folks know I’m not cheating and that I have done my post for the day? Actually, I am going to post another post - this is an extra one just for me to get my sorrows out.

Perhaps it’s the heat, perhaps it’s because I’m an idiot and contacted someone in my past that I shouldn’t have…it seems like such a dark day.

Seeing as a whole bunch of participants were doing it, I thought I’d do some sort of survey of NaBloPoMo participants using the randomiser.

Have to say, I was a bit…surprised?

It’s a list, and it’s short, don’t worry.

1. I’m watching National Treasure even though I’ve seen it before and Nicolas Cage so sucks.
2. I seem to have (temporarily, I hope) lost the capacity to be happy with my own achievements
3. I got up at 2.30pm. Ugh, that is bad.
4. There’s money in my bank account and it’s staying put because not even the idea of a splurge is cheering me up (?!?!)
5. It’s hot and we have evaporative cooling
6. Casino Royale isn’t out at the cinemas till Dec 7th here and my lovely US pals are telling me how cool it is but I have to wait till then
7. My kitty didn’t sleep with me last night
8. Because Sean Bean is always the bad guy in films. What is up with that? And why do all American action/adventure etc. films have to have foreign baddies? Don’t make me run off a list - it’ll be long
9. Because I want to be a burlesque dancer?
10. Because I’ve got person’s block (if writers can have writer’s block, people can have person’s block, eh?)

Okay, now that’s out of my system, I feel slightly better. Watching Nicolas Cage act is more painful than my life, and for some reason, I can’t look away - haha, like a car accident.

I know I shouldn’t be so glum because my best friend came over and spent some time with me…it was short and I was disappointed about a few things and felt even worse when he left.

Having managed some semblance of supper despite no appetite, I went for the makeup collection and was determined to cull.

I woke with blood in my mouth and to the sound of my father bashing the blinds.

Why fight it? The other day I was explaining to my mother that it’s not usually a good sign if I’m craving sugar or sweet things often. It usually means I’m about to start getting depressed again.

It turns out I might be right. I tried, I really did but I couldn’t make it outdoors today. That’s bad.

In an effort to cease being nocturnal, I only got four or so hours of sleep. I woke up and heard my mother and brother talking so that was the end of sleep anyway. It appears that my mother woke up today and decided she was going to hate me for no good reason again. Groan, how dull.
