Journaling Juices. Because it's Alliteration.

Our good friend January is heading to an end, so it's time for another lifeity life update.

Except I blog about silly, meaningless goobledee goop that goes on in my brain. So life will be addressed in a very vague and smallish sort of way.

That's right people. It's another late night post, wherein I'm sleepy but my journaling juices have their eyes wide open.

Currently...

Listening to: House of Heroes. I'm trying to get into them, but have only breached their most recent album, Cold Hard Want. Also, the usual Death Cab for Cutie, T Swift, and such madness as that.

Writing about: Carbon Dioxide! Not much creative writing has been going on lately. Just lab write ups and essays. I'm really curious to see what my teacher though of my latest in timed essay I turned in. I kinda enjoy getting a prompt and being told to wing it. The heated scribbling of the #2 pencil is somewhat invigorating to my young writerly brain.

Taking pictures of: Sunsets. My friends. Also toilet paper.

Reading: ...well, I'm supposed to be done with Mark Twain's Humorous Sketches and Stories and have started Up from Slavery (forgot author's name...sorry) for history. But not so! Alas, reading is still as slow and stuck as ever. It's not that I don't enjoy Mark Twain (or anyone's writing, for that matter)...it's just that there's more interesting things to do in the eyes of someone so easily distracted as I.

Watching: Avatar: The Last Airbender cartoons---for the billionth time again. Cartoons with great plot progression and artistry! Who can ask for more? Recently watched Captain Phillips, as it has become available via RedBox. Tom Hanks is my hero. Have you seen the movie? What did you think?? ((those filmy production people are mad geniusessss!!)) Also a lot of youtube, including Rhett and Link's Good Mythical Morning (yeah baby!) and miscellaneous music videos that make me really wish I were a part of a band.

Drawing: Nothing lately. Except I'm supposed to draw some pictures to go along with my lab report I'm handing in for tomorrow. Although I got to draw illustrations to a group presentation about Carl the Carbon Molecule. It's kind of sad when bio class becomes your only doodling interval.

Composing: Broken guitar songs! My old guitar with only three strings left has been serving me well. I finally decided on some lyrics for a few of my short and sorryish compositions. I can safely assure you that it sounds much better to me than anyone listening. ;) Also, I was listening to some chiptune genre songs yesterday and I suddenly had a peak of music mixing inspiration. Maybe I'll be revisiting my soundcloud account in the near future.

Feeling: Positive but deep. Does that make sense? I'm thinking hard and I'm thinking deep. But I'm thinking positively too. Thinking becomes feeling for me.

Wanting to: Be more productive. I keep imagining the strange fantasy that I'm wasting too much time on pinterest. What an odd idea.

Waiting for: Rain. Sounds so silly, especially to all you who are getting snowed in. But it's really dry and I'd love a day of rain. Each morning I've been looking up at our sparse cloud cover (just enough to trap in the smog) and mentally shaking my first at it. Precipitation doth inspire me so.

Enjoying: Apples and peanut butter. Sleeping in. Friends who tease me. Wifi connection. 


Cheerio dear friends,
