Even though I've recovered my composure, I suppose I should finish what I started...

I am trying to write a book.

But it just seems like its not a sure thing, but for celebs, it always looks like they're cranking out books with no effort at all.

If it helps, a lot of celebrity books are ghostwritten.

Seems rather hypocritical to hate celebrities for being rich and famous when you're trying to attain that same level of wealth and fame for yourself. Just saying.

...Not that I agree with Niam's opinion, but have you never heard of "Envy"?  It's a natural human emotion that can cause hatred because someone else has something they don't have.  No hypocrisy necessary.

I have, but there's also a thing called self awareness. It allows you have all the envy you can eat and yet control yourself enough to not make overly dramatic and angst filled rants on the internet about how anyone who has what you want is automatically a terrible person who deserves to suffer. It's really quite snazzy, if I do say so myself.

So, one of my guitar strings broke last night. Wonderful. >_>
In paranoia I find genius / But the ice-dreams have come
with spiritless consequence / A hatchet has been hidden
between my eyes / A hatchet gift-wrapped in paranoia / A
wooden heart never bleeds / A wooden heart never bleeds,
yet inextricable thoughts still weave / Introspection
fabricated for battle / No time has been wasted
/ Neuroleptic seconds marry electroconvulsive hours / In
the cranial freezer, paranoia is the bastard and I
find genius Petrify / Paralyze

^^ I admit I have something of a double standard about certain things. It comes with the territory it seems.

Usually I am better at controlling myself, though, so as not to invoke these...degradations of my personality, which result in these embarrassing rants.

A polar vortex has moved in.

It is now 60 degrees.  I am cold.  In the middle of July.

This is not a thing that should be happening.

And yet people deny that there's anything wrong with the climate.

Fuck.

It should be around 90 F.

a 30 F difference is pretty fucking major, especially the closer we get to the extreme side of Summer.

Yeah, that's pretty big, but I still prefer 15.5 to 32.

I envy their spotlight, because one of the things I have always wanted is for people to look at me, to acknowledge me, to be pointed out, to be known.

For me that's the worst thing imaginable.  I'm much more the type that generally prefers to go unnoticed (obviously not in every situation, if I had a girlfriend I'd be rather miffed if she constantly ignored me).  My ideal job would be one where I'm more or less left to my own devices, generally ignored and hardly anyone notices I exist.

Automated phone menu systems. Would it kill them to put a "to skip all this bullshit and just talk to someone, press (button)" option up front?

Grrrrrr.

I had a long, exhausting, painful afternoon. First I had to go to my doctor's to have a suspicious mole biopsied (I doubt it's serious, mostly just a precaution), then head over to the lab where I had an hour long wait for blood & urine tests and an EKG, and finally take a trip over to an imaging place for a chest x-ray (which involved the whole having to convince the technicians that, no, I'm definitely not pregnant, and here's a bunch of super personal information to prove it ordeal). Between each stop, I also had the joy of waiting around in the hot sun for buses that all seemed to be running late (and, once they arrived, were inevitably filled with loud teenagers). End result is me feeling tired and grumpy from the traveling/waiting around, a sore and bruised arm from blood tests, and a set of irritating stitches where the mole was.

It also doesn't help that I feel like I'm coming down with a cold... or that I had to do all of this on an empty stomach, since the blood tests required fasting beforehand. Bottom line, I feel pretty crappy right now.
