LORD CUTHULU RETURNS!

Just kidding, I’m not cuthulu, but I am back. So I wanted to do a lot more writing over winter break than I actually did, which was basically none, unfortunately I got distracted by skyrim. Now I just looked back at my last post and I have to say, that bruise in the back of my throat turned out to be strep, but it’s long gone now. Today I have a new set of problems, and they do involve the health of someone close to me.

I can’t just tell you all everything I did over winter break, that’s too much, but I can point out the highlights. For one, I got to spend some quality time with my friends, which I enjoy, mostly because I’m an introvert who doesn’t have many. Two, Christmas, don’t get too excited, all I got was assassins creed and SPAM, oh and a $30 gift card to AMC. Third, the last week of winter break was weird for me because an old friend moved back into town, and we had a long discussion that lasted a few hours. Also because for that week, my internet was gone, and when it came back I found out that my best friend was in the ER, not fun.

I’m not entirely sure what the problem is, but he had some sort of chest pains, they diagnosed him with some long medical term I don’t remember and they gave him pills, apparently this is a lifelong thing. I feel pretty bad for him, I honestly thought that my health would fail me first, after all I’m over weight and every time I see a doctor, the words “heart attack” are thrown around.

But I guess life is life, school has started for me again, today actually, and I have a lot of the same people in my classes as last semester. I suppose that happens in theater, especially at a community college. This year I want to generate revenue as much as possible, as such I have taken to writing a book, and also starting a gaming channel with my friends, and also applying for a few jobs.

I suppose I’ll be busy, but the business is good for me, keeps my mind occupied. I don’t want to have to worry about all the life things that held me down last semester, I was so tied down with my weight, whether or not I liked a particular girl, where was I going after community college, and the fact that I needed a job. So on January 1st, I was lying in bed thinking to myself “you know, you don’t have any of this because you spend too much time thinking and not enough time acting.” As such, I have decided to be productive this year.

Anyways, I hope you have enjoyed my little rant, it changed subject a few times, but for now this is all I have the time to write, I’ll see you guys in the next post.

As always, good luck

So close I can taste it.

It is December 1st, and that means that my torture gauntlet begins tomorrow, I go back to school totally unprepared and somehow I’ll pull through. I think that the finals that I’m doing this semester are probably the most difficult that I’ve ever done, but I’m okay with that. So I’m a bit tired and I feel that I am totally just burned out from the weekend. Normally I use my weekend to recharge but apparently not this time. My weekend has included thanksgiving and black Friday, along with several conversations on whether or not I should ask someone out, and also the strange formation of what feels like a bruise in the back of my throat. It’s quite unpleasant and won’t go away, it also makes it hard for me to eat stuff. I think it’s fair to say that I’ve had quite the week, and now I can tell you about it because that’s what I do.

Monday: So I took some mental notes on this day, first of all I remember that I had to go to the third floor of a theater and put weights on a rope. Secondly, I think this was one of the big tension points of the week, because I did my scene and speech both on this day and when it was over I had a sort of euphoric feel of accomplishment.

Tuesday: Oh Tuesday, the day I sat around the house like a lump and basically did nothing. Although to be fair I did have one class on Tuesday, and my project group ended up deciding to meet in a public location later in the week.

Wednesday: Another day that was long, although this day I felt was more relaxed because I didn’t have a ton to do and I was just sort of chill about the whole thing. Me and my scene partner even manged to get our dialogue down, so that was pretty neat.

Thursday: Thanksgiving, which is always a fabulous time of the year. I think I was woken up about five times with people telling me to come and eat bacon. There was the thanksgiving day parade, and all the munchies all day. Then of course the giant dinner and the cleanup that no one wanted to do, and the sudden and mysterious appearance of a massive headache that I got. Of course my brother came over, and as always he asked me to fix his xbox, so between me and my dad we did. Thursday was a pretty good day for me, not all great but pretty good.

Friday: Friday was mostly uneventful, although my headache had dissipated, and I went to go and meet with my project group. We got a script and I am supposed to be off-script on Tuesday, yipee. Other than that I really didn’t do much.

Saturday: I really dislike Saturdays, however this one was not too bad, I think everyone was tired and we all just sort of lazed around on this day.

Sunday: That was today, and today was just a bad day for me. Maybe it was just the way I felt, but by this point I was just burned out and I had that annoying bump in my throat, and I ‘m just tired. I managed to sit in a chair all day and listen to ear biscuits while either playing Painkiller or checking out mods for L4D2, but now I really want some sleep.

So that’s how my week went, I know this next week will be filled with chaos and possibly finals and definitely things I Don’t want to do. So I’m looking forward to that, The other thing I can say is that I have indeed managed to put out that creative project I was looking forward to writing.
