Welcome to the teetering brink of sanity.

As was previously mentioned, I've been having a rough time lately.

Last night/today, I slept for 14 hours. Yes, you read correctly - Fourteen hours. I wasn't even exactly sleeping. I was aware that I was still in bed and fully aware that I wasn't tired anymore. Even worse, my parents were home and I had someone to be around. Yet, I stayed in bed...merely because I didn't feel like getting up.

Is this standard behavior for jobless, post-grads? ...or am I being pathetic, nostalgic, and lazy?

In addition, today I: got in another fight with my sister (more like a continuation of the first), worried about what I believe to be a basal cell carcinoma on my nose, ripped some pants, and cried out of a combination of self-pity and a particularly touching episode of Degrassi.

Rockin'.

In other news, I saw Inception tonight and my mind was blown. I love movies that force me to actually engage myself to understand them. I'm still bouncing between two possible explanations of the ending and would really like to see it again. Christopher Nolan is the man...the Batman-loving man. Also - who is choosing Leonardo DiCaprio's movies for him? Because that person is pure genius and saved Leo from Titanic comparisons long ago.

I also watched 2012 tonight, which I must say, is absurd. I don't prescribe to the Mayan calendar way-of-thinking or the Repent-the-end-is-near mentality, but even still, the plot was more unrealistic than my chances with Sid the Kid. Despite the cool special effects, the movie left me highly disappointed and laughing at yet another poor career choice for hometown hero Woody Harrelson. However, if I wanted any actor to survive the apocalypse, I'm definitely pulling for John Cusack.

Finally, as much as I love Chad Ochocinco, I want to punch nearly every contestant on his new dating reality show, The Ultimate Catch. I'm not stupid. I know VH1 does everything in its power to provide endless programming of trash television rather than music. I also know that practically every professional athlete of note in this country dates mindless beauty queens with annoying voices. Still, it pains me to watch it happen...in slow-mo...to one of my favorite Bengals. Between the fake boobs, the Miami-girl voices, and the shitstorm of snooty girl fights, I have lost faith in VH1, Ochocinco's taste in women, and reality dating shows.

Oh wait - that implies that I once had faith in any of those things. Ha.

  2. Hey Brittany! So, I'm starting grad school, and I'm actually feeling the same way you do! Staying in bed too long, feeling run down, etc. I'm afraid/sad to move away from home. I think we're all feeling some way of the way you're feeling, regardless of our situation. Here's to hoping you can perk up a bit. :)
