Unconscious Mutter – Week 267
Quibbling over details again.
Wretch – A miserable person
Retch – to make an effort to vomit
As you can see, these words are decidedly NOT INTERCHANGEABLE.
Learning to write again.
You’d think that between this blog and my college classwork, I’d have this writing thing nailed.
You would be wrong.
My writing style in the blog is very ADD, very what’s happening right this minute, and constantly being filtered in my head as to what should I/shouldn’t I post. Then I have to write papers for each class, and each class has a different writing format requirement. I suppose this would be a good time to mention my overall lack of attention. Even as I write this entry, I have a draft of my english paper open (and I keep flipping back and forth as the ideas occur), and am debating on opening The Gimp so I can edit some of the pictures I’ve taken recently into mastheads. And tapping my toe impatiently waiting for WordPress 2.5 (supposedly due on March 10, 2008). And? We’re going over the exam I just took the other day. (Yes, I’m blogging in class. Bad, bad Emily.)
Outlines, notes, research. All very stellar things that I should get in the habit of doing for this blog, none of which I actually do. I read about other bloggers who research their topics, plan articles, and guilt ensues. And The Whine comes out. Don’t I write enough already? Do Those People really want to read about the disgusting end to your first date? Why did you start THAT topic??!!?? How many drafts, exactly, are you going to leave sitting in the queue waiting for your kiss of attention??!!??
Focus, focus. Wherefore art thou, focus?
Did you remember to change your clock?
Yeah, me either. The good news is that I’ve had nothing but homework and laundry waiting on me. Actually, that sounds kinda depressing when you say it like that.
Happy Leap Forward Day, y’all.

Lessons learned this week:
I have some truly generous people in my life. Thank you so much. You know who you are.
Closing your eyes for a 15 minute powernap is preferable to sitting in an overly warm classroom, letting sleepy stupidity fall from your lips. (Yes, I really did read the same thing you did. Hush.)
Vomiting on the first date makes a distinct impression. I don’t advise it, truly.
I love taking pictures. Love love love. Downloading, editing, and then uploading? Not so much.
Going back through your archives to tag them will do two distinct things: If it was an emotional post, expect the scab to get ripped off. Otherwise, be prepared to confront the fact that some posts WILL annoy you with incomplete thoughts, incoherent ramblings, and make you want to rewrite/revisit the issue.
No matter how much you swear “never again”, you’ll keep getting sucked back into it. It doesn’t matter what “it” is.
There is no escape from laundry. Taking a sick day (see #3) will only result in your being overwhelmed in another day or two. (Okay, so I already knew this one. It clobbered me again though.)
