You should read this story.

Go there and read it. Or better yet, go to your local library and find the book version. It's so much more charming on paper.
Either way, I would recommend that you begin with chapter one.

on doing nothing
A week and a half ago I had my birthday. It was really nifty.
Yesterday I slept until 6:30. Like, p.m. Not so nifty.
Now I have this great disappointment in myself. As in, if this is how I'm spending my time, my life, I might just as well not have it. Not to say that sleeping until after dinner is a regular occurence, but still. There are more worthwhile things to do than sleep. I can sleep when I'm dead.
I've always felt that I have this sort of responsibility to myself to make something of myself, spend every moment I can doing something that will benefit somebody, learn about something new every day, you know, be a better person. And I feel so terribly guilty when I don't. But I shouldn't. I think. Well, I dunno, maybe I should. I don't like knowing that I've wasted an entire day that I will never get back.
Maybe I'll get over it.

on curses and being hit by trains
i have no job.
this all began about two weeks ago. actually, it began about eight months ago, when i was changing jobs. my former employer had decided to close the shop i was working in, and therefore i was obviously not needed. luckily, i had aquired a second job (at the restaurant) shortly before this was announced, and was able to smoothly transition into only one job once again. and so it was. and it was all sunshine and rainbows (well, figuratively speaking, it was not sunshine and rainbows at all, but its all over now and i don't really want to talk about that), when suddenly, two weeks ago, BAM! i was hit by a train and i lost my job. well, figuratively speaking, of course. the bosses announced that they had decided to close the restaurant. so yesterday was my last day, which means that now, i have no job.
let's just backtrack a little bit here. in the past year, i have held two jobs. and i lost them both for the same reason. now, of course, i have begun to think that i may carry a curse of some sort. i'm sure it's just bad luck, but it is still a curse.
i'm very excited to see what happens next.

may 12. mark it on your calendar.
It's almost my birthday. I like birthdays. I guess.
I plan to do lots of things on my birthday. I'm pretty excited about the whole thing. Although I don't seem to have much to say about it.
