descent into darkness, yet reascension was inevitable

    a lot, as usual, has happened since I last wrote. saturday was a wonderful day. waking up at noon or so, it started out rather plain, and stayed that way for awhile, sadly. I loaded up some laundry, getting up there just as two girls were unloading the washers they were using, and loaded up two loads’ worth. when I got downstairs again, I picked up the book Nicole had let me borrow, The Secret History, and, flipping it open, I started to read it. It started out slowly, and I wasn’t able to read more than about 12 pages of it just then, but it seems great. My phone rang randomly, and I saw it was my friend Bense calling. he told me some crazy surreal shit happened to him the night before, and he said “yeah, I just thought about it and said ‘man, I have to tell Greyor about this…’” bahaha. so yeah, I talked to him for a few, but needed to go and check on my laundry, so I said I’d talk to him later.

soul-crushing Hypnos

    i’ve not gotten a lot of sleep lately. after sleeping 20.00 Wed night till around 03.00 Thursday morning, fucking up my schedule (shedual, like the Brits say it) even worse than it normally is. the early morning was spent writing, as you all know, and after writing I ought to have gotten some sleep. yet no…. I somehow felt that I had the fortitude to stay up and such, and did so. spent a couple of hours talking to people on the net and just fucking around in general, and most of my roommates left for class around 09.00 or so. I talked to lovely Gem for awhile, I remember, because I was telling her how hungry I was for some breakfast, and she said that if she were here, she’d make me a lovely English breakfast. god, it sounded good… eggs, bacon, sausage, ham (maybe), as well as some traditional British food (black pudding, etc., which sounds slightly weird, lol). she’s such a sweetheart… i love that girl dearly. anyways, eventually my stomach got the better of me, and I headed out to the student centre to get some breakfast.

    PROOIMION: i wrote this entry on and off over the last week or so since Wednesday, and well, I hope it doesn’t sound too fragmented. I hope you all enjoy… it’s been a bloody fucking amazing week, and yeah… read on. thank you.
- the mgmt.


    after talking to San for a little while on Valentine’s morning (Tuesday), well, I drifted off into sweetest, sweetest Sleep. I had originally planned to wake up around noon, but Hypnos kept me until about 15.30. wakeup processes (proh-sessees) cycled slowly, and I figured I ought to get up soon and all in order to pick up my package of Gumby DVDs. the notice had come for them on Monday, but since I’d slept in all day and not gone to class, well, I hadn’t even remembered to pick them up in my distress, so I was somewhat kicking myself on Monday night. anyways, the package slip seemed to have disappeared, but as it’s not necessary (you can just show ID), I didn’t stress it. it was cold as fuck outside, but I braved it (not half as cold as Eugene, which apparently got snow) in shorts and a t-shirt, walking towards the B building to get the package. it was easily found when I got there, and I left triumphantly, deciding to stop off at the market for some lunch as well; I got two slices of cheese pizza, mozzarella sticks, and a juice — just about standard.

cacophonic interlude

    i promise a new entry is coming.
    just FYI that is. it’s been a very, very interesting latter half of the week (and weekend too), and I’m only up to recounting Wednesday, so it may be a bit… I’m also extremely, extremely tired tonight, so I think I’m going to work on a bit more and then go to bed in a bit. lots of homework tomorrow too, so yeah… bleh. I will get it done though, because there’s oh so much to tell you all, yet I’m only human, so the bounds of Hypnos do constrain me a bit, although I’m like Zarathustra otherwise.
    there’s not enough bloody hours in the day, I tell you…

 

a lovely, bloody massacre of a day

    Sleep came on Sunday morning after I got done talking with people and writing. As I told Nicole today, “I’ve got to see it through to the end when I’m writing.” even if that means writing from 05.30 to almost 09.30, it doesn’t matter. Either that or I break it up over a period of time, but I try to finish writing something all in one sitting, and it usually happens if I’m focused enough. hence, insane bedtimes, there you have it, that’s the motherfucking reason: this. I set my alarm for 13.00, giving me a solid 4hrs of sleep, then, and hoped to wake up to it. I did wake up to it, actually, but I laid back down, and that’s the killer; I was out until 16.00 then. wack; half the day was shot. naturally, homework ought to have come next, but it didn’t, just as it almost never does.

    I’ve come to the conclusion that I need to get absolutely fucking plowed soon. like who knows, maybe Monday night. Wednesday night? some night when I don’t have to go to school the next day, that’s all I know. I mean piss-drunk, drunk where I can’t even fucking type drunk. I want to be able to go the market down the way and fall down halfway there, or perhaps just stay here and mumble to myself or my roommates, or maybe even laugh at the blank screen of a unpowered TV. or perhaps get online and chat to people drunk, spewing all sorts of strange rhetoric at them and slurring words as they would sound spoken, but manipulating the letters on the computer. all of these things would be great.

        These days my entries have been more fractured and less focused. Such is life. I do what I can to give a glimpse into my life, a snapshot if possible. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

        talk to me if you'd like to know something about me, or keep reading. I'm still a poor grad student and working on my PhD. I don't really know whether this will become a book anymore, but it's not wholly improbable.
