change of a color

why does my mind insist that the absolute epitome of idiodicy is bad spelling? alright, now super paranoid about making multiple spelling errors...

for the next week or so, i have no friends. College stole them all away, making for a very project-driven leah that refuses to admit to loneliness.
current projects include: reading "middlesex" and "a million little pieces", starting/finishing a brilliant 800-word long-shot scholarship essay, painting the entire basement SWEET OLIVE, and relearning korean 1 CD at a time.

aside from the friend depravation thing, something else has placed a huge pit at the bottom of my stomach. ah, tears and movies are my therapy for this awkward panic that has set in. it's such a wonderful thing to be able to pass off real crying for laughing really hard or being sad during a sad movie. i blame this current state of distress on two specific excesses: 1) worrying about the future and 2) watching season 2 of 24. both are psychologically draining, but really do not accomplish anything. more often than not, i envy my parents and my sister who have their lives figured out for the next 10some years. why am i not embracing this indecision and limitless opportunity that comes with being an extremely lucky 20-year-old?

that humps song by the black eyed peas won't get out of my head. um, torture yeah. i've gotten into the habit of taking post-dinner naps from about 7-10pm and then roaming the house until i fall asleep or finish all of the Fresca in the fridge... which usually happens around 3am. painting + loud music will continue tomorrow morning at 11am sharp in the basement! now off to party, or sit and read quietly.

"Million Little Pieces" was decent. My roommate says that "Middlesex" is good. If you like Klosterman and haven't read his new book, I highly suggest it. That, and "High Fidelity."

It's good to see that people still cry during movies. Mmmm
