  <description>Lately I have been completely irresponsible.  I guess I just hope I grow out of it and don&apos;t do anything too stupid.  Or maybe its too late for that.</description>

  <description>I feel insainely overwhelmed.  I get so stressed about everything I have to do and I end up crippling myself and can&apos;t do any of it.  I feel like I have to give up something, or everything is going to fall appart. I am a sim and the house is a mess, I smell, i have to go to the bathroom, I haven&apos;t eaten and my kid is crawling around on the floor.  Its so stupid to feel this way and I am not sure how to make it better.  School sucks no matter what and the only class i can really drop is stem cells and thats my easiest class.  Work acctually keeps me on top of things, gets me off campus and is some what enjoyable.  And i can&apos;t really live in a box and not talk to people. Everything in itself doesn&apos;t seem like its a lot, but add all these little things up and it is. Maybe last week was just bad.  Hopefully this week will be better, but I am not sure how much more I can take.  Who wants to get completely wasted thurs night?</description>

  <description>Its amazing how hard it is to get over your tendancies.  I think its even worse when you can see it happening, but can do nothing to stop it.  It&apos;s so stupid.  After I can see it all clearly.  Why can&apos;t I see that then?  It leaves me wishing I was a better person.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There was no reason for that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I need to listen to myself...not try to deny myself something that I need.</description>

  <title>Couldn&apos;t have said it better.....</title>
  <author>akavanag@hamilton.edu</author>  <link>http://osmiumo.livejournal.com/114034.html</link>
  <description>Her name was written on a photograph, &lt;br /&gt;right next to her red, sunburnt face, &lt;br /&gt;it all had happened in that long tall grass, &lt;br /&gt;about a mile from her old place, &lt;br /&gt;and I can&apos;t remember how it started and if it lasted that day in the sun. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We said that we were going to study hard, &lt;br /&gt;we held our books instead of hands, &lt;br /&gt;she held a blanket over cans of beer, &lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t deny I was so full of fear. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It&apos;s just another story caught up in another photograph I found. &lt;br /&gt;and it seems like another person lived that life a great many years ago from now, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life, &lt;br /&gt;I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time. &lt;br /&gt;when I look back on my ordinary ordinary, ordinary life, &lt;br /&gt;I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there&apos;s the first time that I tried that stuff, &lt;br /&gt;I think I look a little green, &lt;br /&gt;I remember throwing up behind a bush, &lt;br /&gt;and I found it hard to use my feet, &lt;br /&gt;and who&apos;s that easily led little boy who&apos;s really off his head? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the same night that I kissed that girl, &lt;br /&gt;the tall one with the auburn hair, &lt;br /&gt;I remember laughing coz to kiss me, &lt;br /&gt;she had to sit down on a chair! &lt;br /&gt;she tasted like the schnapps she&apos;d drunk, &lt;br /&gt;and the cigarette she&apos;d stolen from her mum. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it&apos;s just another story caught up in another photograph I found. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I look back on my ordinary, ordinary life, &lt;br /&gt;I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time. &lt;br /&gt;When I look back on my ordinary ordinary, ordinary life, &lt;br /&gt;I see so much magic, though I missed it at the time.</description>

  <description>....everything does happen for a reason.  Or it might be our minds trying to make sense of it all.  I think I am just going to believe the former.</description>

  <title>Falling from some lofty place......</title>
  <author>akavanag@hamilton.edu</author>  <link>http://osmiumo.livejournal.com/112389.html</link>
  <description>For a while I was in some other world.  I think a world i created and I didn&apos;t even realize.  I felt little.  Thought a lot.  Felt completely detached from the real world and everything.  I was content.  This is how it should be.  I thought I was happy....things had finally evened out.&lt;br /&gt;But now...&lt;br /&gt;I can&apos;t trust anything....&lt;br /&gt;Ideas....no.&lt;br /&gt;People....no.&lt;br /&gt;Me....no.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what am I left with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I feel like everything is infested with lies, curruption, and motives.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing is pure and good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Everything is a manifestation of our society.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whats the point if we were mere puppets of falsifications and dillusions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Who does all of this benifit?</description>

  <title>Who am I?</title>
  <author>akavanag@hamilton.edu</author>  <link>http://osmiumo.livejournal.com/112266.html</link>
  <description>I am everyone.  I am what everyone wants and expects me to be...or at best I try to be.  Its all what i percive that they want.  In a sense I become &quot;them&quot;, &quot;you&quot; whoever you want me to be.  Why?  Because I want you to like me.  I want to get along with you.  Fucked up?...Yup. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So where am I?  Better yet who am I?.....&lt;br /&gt;Who do I want to be?  What do I stand for? What are MY goals? MY needs?  MY wants?&lt;br /&gt;Are they essentually everyone elses?  They can&apos;t be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet I am tied to a vast network of expectations...as we all are.  Are we all really individuals or acting as some sick fucked up communal whole?  Pleasing people to please ourselves?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well I am not so sure anymore.</description>

  <title>1:26 am and I am at Hamilton</title>
  <author>akavanag@hamilton.edu</author>  <link>http://osmiumo.livejournal.com/111713.html</link>
  <description>How i got here,  I am not sure.  I left ipswich at 4:00 and arrived here at 8:30.  I drove into the wind the whole way.  Wind is just as bad as snow.  I had to steer into it to stay strait on the road.  Atleast there was no traffic.  I like just flying, unhindered.  The whole experience was sort of weird.  It was like I was moving between two worlds.  The world of home and the world of home.  I was neither alive nor dead, just there. &lt;br /&gt;As I sat in Physics i kept telling myself that I would spend the rest of the semester learning that shit.  I knew it, but most of me didn&apos;t believe it.  It still hadn&apos;t sunk in.   &lt;br /&gt;I came back to my room and napped for a while.  I woke up a minute before I was suppose to be there.  Yay for being a so called type A!  I am not sure how i feel about the simulation class....maybe it was because I wasn&apos;t really in a mood to work with others.  The class meets wed. 7-10.  I read the book my mom got me about addiction for a while.  It is really good.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I called Josh but he didn&apos;t answer.  I ended up talking to him online, but he just left.  I think it just hit be that I am at school now.  Break seems like this hazy dream, that I am not sure is real or not.  Acctually now seems like a hazzy dream that I am not sure is real.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I NEED TO GET BACK TO REALITY</description>

  <title>Christmas....my shopping isn&apos;t done...nothing is wrapped!</title>
  <author>akavanag@hamilton.edu</author>  <link>http://osmiumo.livejournal.com/111008.html</link>
  <description>I bought my dad a really awesome grilling accessory set.  This got me most excited today.   If he doesn&apos;t like it or already has one I am buying a grill to go along with it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right now I am lying on Josh&apos;s bed handing him tape while he wraps his presents.  Its the most I can get involved in the opperation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Break has been good.  Much has been done.  I feel like i do so much more living when I am here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway thats it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Happy Kwanza!</description>
