Today I:
- Woke up at 6:30am without much of a hassle and actually survived the morning without caffiene. Just a litre of water, some grapes, and an apple. Which is remarkable, really, considering how little sleep I got last night (6 hours isn't enough).
- Sat dangerously close to the edge of a waterfall in Kanaskis Country and all I could hear was the water pounding off the rocks. People were shouting and talking around me but I could only see their mouths move, I couldn't hear them. It was fabulous.
- Gathered tumbleweed and held them like cheerleading pompoms. Tumbleweed still amazes me every time I see it. How it forms, where it comes from, how it gets so far away from home. It's such a remarkable vegetation. Plus, it reminds me of Loony Toons and that's really cool.
- Had an altogether pleasant day with my drawing class. Being stuck in a 15 passenger van with about twelve people didn't make any of us crazy—we all got along so well. I'm so fortunate to be going to a school where there isn't any sense of elitism or cliques. Everyone is generally really happy to be around each other.
- Completely cleaned my work area and now my room seems filthy in comparison. I love having a tidy work area because it makes me feel a whole lot more productive and capable of doing lots.
- Deleted a bunch of websites from my Internet bookmarks of friends I know "in real life" because I'm fucking sick of having to read a website to know how everyone is doing. Yes, this is a phase that I've gone through a million times before but this time I'm starting to really get testy about it. I'm tired of being part of "the public" and not treated as an individual.
- Started to read one of the books Carly gave me for Christmas: I'm the one that I want by Margaret Cho and I'm loving it so far. I plan to finish it by the weekend.
I'm a little cranky tonight, I think you can sense it from the tone of my voice. I've been snapping at my father and in return he's been snapping at me. I can't wait until Mom gets here Thursday night. I need to hug her and have her hug me.
Bleh. I'm cold and a little sad. I think it's time to read more of Miss Cho and call it a night before something bad happens.
