When the power goes out in the middle of the night for 90 minutes! WTF. As a result, the fire alarms started chirping because they are electricity powered in this building and they beep when the power is off to remind you that they are on battery backup. My cats were hiding under the bed because the chirps were really loud.

It took us forever to get back to sleep. Then Sandy got up late... he works Saturday mornings. Now I'm up... and the Cable TV is out! Aaahhhhhhhhhhh!

when something is overly hyped, and it doesn't meet one's expectations and you're sad. :(

Its not like Dan Brown is a bad author. Or that its a terribly bad book. It's just become so popular and more and more people keep reading it and you know how easily influenced the general public is. Its like people say shit like "I read the Da Vinci Code and now I don't believe in God!" I mean come on. Thats like saying I read Jurrasic Park and now I believe that Dinosaurs exist. Its become so grossly over hyped and people are taking things far too seriously that they are confusing fictional action and suspence with reality.
I mean the book was alright but I honestly don't even think its that memorable and that's the genre of books I enjoy.

it's certainly not terrible, but it just does not deserve as much praise as it gets. there's better stuff out there that we see nothing of.

A FUCKING MEN!!!

Oh my goodness, I want to scream at all the publicity this book is getting.

People are actually saying it's the truth, when IT'S BEEN ON THE FICTION BESTSELLER LIST FOR THE LAST LIKE TWO YEARS.

I hate stupid people. They should not be allowed to breed. *goes stabby on them all*

Ugh, and don't even get me started on James Frey.

Insomnia. After I've taken sleeping pills.

I went to buy more today and the woman asked if I wanted the one tablet ones or the two tablet ones. Since I've always had the two tablet ones I got those and the woman said "yes, that's good 'cause then you can choose whether to take one or two" - I found it hard not to laugh - given there's only ever about a 50% chance of two working, there's no way I'd only take one.
Open your eyes to nights and days, you close them up and float away
and somehow inbetween you've got to master lying to yourself
you back the cause, get out of school, you get a job, the job gets you
and somehow every day you end up serving somebody else
now if that ain't panic that you're feeling, then you damn well better start
you can drive it into that head of yours with the hammer in your heart.


And it's alriiiiiiiight now, take the world and make it yours again.

When there is something bothering you but you don't wanna talk about it and then someone keeps asking over and OVER and you just wanna yell "Stfu! Leave me alone!" but you don't cos you know that will just make it worse you just sit there twiddling your thumbs saying I don't know or "everything is fine" over and over and just wishing you could find some better way to make them understand but knowing you can't cos there is no easy way to explain the mess that goes on inside your mind and ya. Life sucks. I'm hungry.
