Do you feel the pearl in your heart?
nurtured by blood and years
it waits for the light within to break it
with the warm salt of tears
consume your essence and be whole
BIJOURIEL: A JOURNAL [->>

Subject: Announcement
Time: 10.22 pm

[ mood | accomplished ]

Ok folks, here's how it goes:

I'm making this journal private... only a few of you will be able to see it from now on. I got a namechange token from LJ and switched my old name (that still had some paid months left on it) to [info]gaminequeen. The settings of the old journal are all the same, the only difference is that the name changed. So: this is a private journal. Gaminequeen is my public one. As you were.


You know I love to confuse you.

[ mood | exhausted ]

Got back from the Tool concert and am feeling slightly overwhelmed.

The concert was great. The time after... not so great. Everybody was staying at the Holiday Inn next to the Civic Center. So everywhere were drunk college and high school persons being as loud as possible as far into the morning as they could. I have no problem with people partying, but in a HOLIDAY INN?? Hello, not EVERYONE there is from the concert. Show some consideration. The people in the room next to us (and there were at least 5 of them but it sounded like FIFTEEN) were screaming and laughing and apparently wrestling and throwing furniture. I felt like we were next door to a partyfrathouse.

I feel old. I've never identified well with my own age group. I know how to have fun, and lord knows I can be pretty damn loud, but I dont need chemicals to get there and I am not completely defined by my needs for sex, alcohol, and attention.

At least this has cured me of my chronic guilt... I just think of those crackheads at the hotel and I feel much less inconsiderate.

So yeah, no sleep. Tired. Much to do. I was going to make a flash ad for luminaery.com since the time is drawing near for its opening, but I was a dumbass and the expiration ran out on the flash design program. Boo.

Augh! Crazyness! Busybusy!

I'll sign off as he did at the concert: "Go home... sit down in front of a nice fire... write some poetry... and masturbate until you pass out."

Subject: WARNING: Menses-related
Time: 4.16 pm

[ mood | nervous ]

Right, I just figured out my problem. I've been so busy I lost track of time: sunday was the beginning of THAT TIME. I'm glad I don't get some of the more incapacitating symptoms, but mine, while not painful, are almost incapacitating in a different way.

You see, around THAT TIME I lose all dexterity and my IQ drops about 100 points. Not only that, but the fabric of space and time and the laws of physics warp to accomidate this weird aura of bad luck that eminates from me during this phase. I swear, inanimate objects fly through the air towards me, sucked in by this magnetic Disaster Aura. I drop things, things fall on me when I haven't even touched them, furniture moves itself so I can fall/run into/trip on it. I can't focus, simple logic escapes me, everything makes me nervous, sometimes to the point of hysteria. I become the ultimate case of bad luck with ADD.

I've never bothered to ask if any other women have this problem. Anyone? Or is this so rare a case that I should offer myself up for scientific testing?

Marc's sister had a baby. Eric James. So now Marc's entire family (including Marc himself) keep talking about Eric. Which is just confusing and wierd.

[ mood | fragile ]

Every time I feel strengthened, feel in control, I'm reminded how fragile I really am.

Sometimes I feel like a large, ruthless, calculating warrior-mercenary-type-person that died and somehow ended up reincarnated in the body of a tiny, insecure worrywart pixie-child. I hate feeling fragile, I hate feeling small and insignificant, and I hate feeling dependant. But I am.

I got my ID in the mail today! This means I can now A) get a PO box 2) get a bank account, which leads to 3) get a paypal account! which leads to 4) I CAN BUY STUFF ONLINE!!! Not that I'm going to go on a spending spree now, but this just makes my life much easier when I do. And the picture on the ID isn't nearly as ugly as I thought it would be.

Anyone have debit-card-related experiences they'd like to share? These internet FAQs are so dry and impersonal, and so are bank brochures.

bijou sidhe: large boobs freak me out, on a skinny OR a fat girl. I feel like they are separate entities, like they are looking at me or something

Time: 4.16 pm

I've felt really fat lately. Not "OMG I'M SO FAT AND UGLY!" More like "Recently i was abducted by aliens and they have impregnated my womb, and the unnatural child is growing at an advanced rate and my stomach will soon explode and it will devour my flesh."

It could be gas. I think I've just had an excess of nervous energy lately, and it's making me eat too fast. Plus my diet has been thrown all out of whack, not getting enough food... so maybe its the Starving ThirdWorldCountry Child syndrome. I can't imagine it's bloating, because it's not that time yet. My stomach just feel so unnaturally HUGE all the time, like Violet from Willy Wonka. Tie a string to me, cuz any moment the air inside me will cause me to float away...

And no, i'm not pregnant. It's not physically possible, unless you go with the alien theory.

Mike: your journal will not let me comment. So my response:

"Wow! That's some heavy stuff. Remind me never to ask your opinion on anything remotely law-related again.

What if I asked in metaphors? Or pig latin?"


Boy am I clever.

I always claim to only seldom indulge in quizzes, or at least posting the results...

but COMEON, it has a ROOSTER on it!!!

[info]stoppard made me do it with her evil aura of bad influence/coolness.

P.S. I typed reSLUTS at first instead of 'results'.

Too busy and tired to make comments. Just pretend I left this in your journal, choosing the most appropriate response:

I'm such a dork.

There's always a reason for the things I do. Sometimes I just don't know what that reason is.

Who was the genius that said 'follow your heart' or alternatively, 'listen to your gut'? Whoever it was was probably a hermit.

The Public in general, no matter what Oprah tells you, does not agree with following your heart OR your gut. Doing this requires you to constantly be doing unexpected things, things that don't seem to make sense, things that are sometimes completely opposite of OTHER things you do. Sometimes these things seem like mean things. Sometimes they seem like selfish things. Sometimes they seem like very stupid things.

People who follow their hearts are mean, selfish, and stupid.

Or that's what the people around them think. Actions speak louder than words, yes? Oh, but you are protesting. Following your heart is GOOD, you say? That's what the hallmark cards say, and the children's stories, and Disney. I believe it. We'd all like to. Or most of us would.

But put it in practice... what is following your heart BUT a selfish thing? A heart is hedonistic, it only wants what is best for itself. It just wants.

Ok, so say 'intuition', instead. Listen to intuition.

This, too, causes problems. Your intuition knows what is ultimately best for you, but you (and certainly those around you) may not know it at the time. It doesn't stop to explain to you or them that this will all turn out for good. Ultimately what seems like a bad thing may turn out to be best for you in the long run.

But intuition doesn't really care about other people. It's YOUR intuition. It cares about you. And that's all other people see.

So really, if you run around doing things for the sake of 'following your heart', or 'listening to your intuition, your gut', you are

stupid,
selfish
and mean.

You end up saying dumb things like

There's always a reason for the things I do. Sometimes I just don't know what that reason is.
