Advice needed. Urgently.

I’m having a conciousness crisis. And it’s a big one. I’ve been given shit ever since I opened Pacino Corner, my dream fan site for Al. I can’t say it’s all been bad: some people are very nice and keep thanking me and complimenting the site. But I didn’t open the site so people can complain to me about posting paparazzi pictures or because I said my site was the only updated one - when in fact it wasn’t.

I’m thinking of closing it, for good. I could use some advice. Care to give one?


Lousy vacations

Yes, I’m alive. No need to worry. I’ve just been a little… off lately. I don’t really know why, but it’s just how I’m feeling these days. Winter break’s here, just like I wanted, but I’m not that excited. It turns out that college paper I’ve been postponing for so long has to be done now. Not that there’s a deadline or anything, but sometimes my obsession just kicks in and I have to just get it over it. Oh, and the worst part is it’s not even for me (well, that’s easy to realise, since I don’t go to college), I’m getting underpaid and I have another one coming. But I’m done: they’re extremely boring to do and it’s not even worth it.

The thing is, I’m having trouble concentrating most of the time, so I’m just over half done with the paper. When I’m not working on it, I’m listening to music - I mean, I listen to music even as I’m writing, as music soothes and relaxes me.  So, basically, I’ve just been spending my vacation working on a stupid paper and listening to a lot of music. The good thing is that I’ve been having more time to catch up on my reading, which is always good. I read 2 magazines these past few days, 2 more to go. And there’s also The Book Thief, which is adorable, but way too long for my lifestyle these days. I’ve been reading it for over two months, and it doesn’t seem like it, since I’m not even in the middle of it. God, I never thought I’d say that.

Music wise, I’m good, thanks. Pretty good, actually. This week I downloaded a lot of CDs! RIlo Kiley, The Shins, The Fratellis, Duffy, Lily Allen, Louis XIV, and many more - I only had a few songs by them, and I decided to just donwload some of their albums already. I enjoyed all of them, on different levels.

Okay, I know I’ve written too much already, but I’ve gotta say this: I’ve just watched Sex and the City (the movie), and OMG, it was the most fun I’ve had lately - when it comes to movies, that is.

All right, I’m done now.


Personality (de)test

So apparently I’m like Meryl Streep and Abraham Lincoln. I took this personality test and it not only tells you everything about your personality, but it also compares your personality to famous people. Pretty cool, huh? So here’s me:

Oh holidays, where art thou?

I have been spending these past few weeks just fine: working my ass off, as usual, but also having some free time for my own pleasure, such as wathing great films and spending time with the boyfriend - that is, with exception of this week. I mean, I’m still working my ass off, watching films (and now Pushing Daisies as well) and spending time with my boyfriend, but I’m not all that fine.

I suddenly realized that winter break is just around the corner! The students finish their exams this week, and us, teachers, have to stay for another week to organize stuff, make plans for the next semester, grade tests and papers, and boring things like that. Man, I hate my job.

But anyway, now I just can’t wait for it all to be over and for me to have a lot of free time for myself, to maybe go jogging with a friend or my boyfriend, or, who knows, finally learn how to drive. It’s only gonna be two weeks, but it feels like a lifetime - a love that feeling of freedom, even though it’s temporary.

But because of all these expectations and anxiety, I had trouble sleeping last night. I felt like I was running out of breath. It was a horrible feeling. I took a pill to help me calm down - I happen to still have some from when I was depressed - and about half an hour later I was asleep. I have also been eating more than usual, and now I’m worried about my weight and, if that wasn’t enough, I’ve been having bad dreams, like the one I had where Joseph Fiennes and Matchbox 20’s Rob Thomas have an accident while riding in their motorcycles and Joe dies with a part of his leg cut off. Don’t even ask.

Now these feel like they’re gonna be the longest two weeks of my life!


Hello world!

Welcome to my collective! I’ve always wanted to have a personal site, where I could use as a thougtlog, per se, and I hope this is it!

I’m still working on the internal pages, so please be patient.
