6:37pm: Butter Blog
Some good butter should be here by tomorrow, enough to last us until my mom visits with a full roll.

Also planning to work at a hostel in georgia for two weeks with melissa from work and live in trees and I'm going to start planning more road trips because those are what I miss. I need something to do far in the future that costs money so I have an incentive to save. Right now I just want to buy a digital camera.

I know I have my olympus, but you guys there is this beautiful tree I pass when I drive to work. It's by some parking spots and pines, it's just a tiny thing that is filled up with white flowers, they spill over and glow and it should be captured in color is all.

9:37pm: Hauling ass home
the idea that I can get home in time to work at two for eight hours seems sort of retarded, going to bed the night before.

I forgot the good butter at my mom's. ):

Looks like I won't see the ocean again until June. D: D: D:

Being a biologist will be fun and all but why does Tallahassee gotta make me so saaaaaad. It's comparative.

I need to figure out a schedule to take summer classes at TCC that also allows me to work, and go see Animal Collective in Orlando.

Goals for break:

Plan summer class
Clean up the front/the apartment/out car.
Do math homework/study french/take pictures for photography project
Do three things for my mission 101 list
Work a lot
Deposit money
Pay $111 speeding ticket DDDDDDD:
Not drive

9:28am: Nostalgic
Great waves of homesickness have been hitting me where ever I go. At times I find myself wishing we stayed in that last house in Satellite Beach; I dream of that bright bright room in the big yellow house, where I had a compost bin and rabbits and this heat that Tallahassee is so lacking in.
And as much as I feel like 'I could have stayed here and done great things' that is very much not the case because the great things I would have done here are sleep and get tanned. Which are very beautiful things, things that make me love who I am, but not great things, in the least.

So here is to one more chance to say I'm starting over. I have to try harder when I get home tomorrow, for the duration of my exile in that city. My life is long and surely I'll live many places, surely I'll return to the south Florida I love (and go even further south, I hope) but this is my chance to break new grounds in taxonomy and become the biologist I would love to be.

I want to be like the salty mangrove sprout who can take root anywhere, even out on the rolling ocean.



I have a lot of bitching things I want to do and I need to stop wasting my time doing these shitty livejournal entries! Time to get cool.

Current Music: Andrew Bird- Oh No forever and ever

12:28pm: This Mac is so frustrating
Watched Slumdog Millionaire last night with my mom. Getting some sleep and nom and chanting and beach time in. Taking medicine. I feel like a battery. An Invincible Rehydrateable Bean!

10:00pm: Frustrated
No breaks! No relief! Onslaught of sickness and work and homework and errands and expenses. I haven't been chanting but who has time (or the voice)? I don't even have clean clothes. I need to wash them tonight. It's already 10 and I have no money right now. I haven't been drinking tea. Or eating; there is no time to do dishes! Or there was time, but I filled it in with a fever.

Time to go get Adam. The only sunshine in the cold town right now.

Okay that was a bit dramatic but my head feels fuzzy and it's pretty accurate.

So wiped out but home is so near, I will fly fly away, into warm sands, into salty purity.

6:03pm: Fuck you adam
This weekend was good, the kind of weekend I like. Illegal teen debauchery and making homework fun and cramming my car full of kids. Now to do the homework that isn't fun.. but there is deliciousness and CAKE at the end of the tunnel!

11:01am: Considering
getting contacts. I remembered how much glasses sucked when I'm looking down at food I'm preparing. No one likes to see you constnatly touch near your face when you push them back up and then finger their snadwich.

Trying to get a roommate is scary! I have no assurance this guy won't just run away with our shit or something. I mean I do I just still worry about it.

All inspiration and motivation is gone. I want to get on track with my math assignments and my english paper (which I can't do at home since my computer is filled with pukey bad viruses. Damn you Top Chef Game torrent!) this saturday but I really want to sleep in with Adam, and getting up early has been impossible for me. I've been chanting but that doesn't matter if I just lie on the floor after I finish. There's no motivation at all.

I need to go to bed before midnight and stop eating Adam's pukey butt food. Also because I feel like a jerk when I steal his pop-tarts but he probably doesn't believe me.

I've forgotten what working an eight-hour shift is like. I've got to bike home and then speed to New Leaf, and I'm excited but hoping it won't take too much out of me. I'm always hungry lately, for sugar. May be honey withdrawls; and an over exposure to delicious cake.
Current Mood: depressed

10:40pm: I am so grateful
that I got this. I got a job at a cute health food store that pays tons and it's a food job and I feel like great! I can stay in Tallahassee now, because someone is letting me work. I like when that happens and all I want to do is pick up the angel Heather and hug her until everyone knows how great she is, I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't taken photography, ran into her at new leaf, it she hadn't been such a nice girl, if it hadn't happened on a wednesday when I go there anyway and filled out an application and checked any along with cashier. Goddamn. Tallahassee is a bit of a place where you need to know somebody to get a job, I mean Adam still has to kick some application butt, but damn. I want this to work and I plan to make it! New Leaf why are you such an awesome solution to all of my problems.

Aside from the driving thing. But maybe when I build myself a bike it will be skinny and I will bike everywhere.

I just don't know I'm going to hike to georgia if I work saturdays though.

12:12am: Today was good
Arctic winds blow into Tallahassee, and riding home from the class I didn't skip, a heart shaped balloon drifted across the road. There was a speech, and pictures, and grilled cheese, and then I had work. But it's not so bad to make money and I came home to ribs with side dishes and everything and Adam went out and got ice cream. I have tea waiting for me, a good book. And I have love, love. Tomorrow is developing film and shopping and a poetry reading and Titus! Hopefully kids.

And an 80% chance of snow.

It's a good day.

10:44am: butts butts butts
butts butts butts

I don't even care that I don't have the money for photography, I am so excited. I'm holding off on taking pictures until I get a new battery and can make sure the f/stop whatevermajig works but my camera is sitting here full of film and I can focus it on Adam's huge head and it makes me happy.

I need to work an extra shift tomorrow, but I'm losing all the time I thought I would have to do homework. Behhh. Beeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
