crazy is as crazy does

I fully intend to revisit my semi-sane state after this Thursday at 5pm. I thank you all for support. The toil and stress is about to pay off and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Thanks to all of you and some hard work on my part too.....I will soon be putting this stress filled time behind me! So look forward to a slightly more sane or at least happily crazy version of me. Thanks for putting up with me...

Thoughts

So...I am trying to finish my laundry and clean up so that I can go home and clean again and in between all of this study. Honestly this is all giving me a big stomach ache and there ain't nothing I can do but continue. So less mundane thoughts...

These are the interesting observations I am having right now. Sometimes during this process I wake up so panicked and have no idea what to do. So, I wake have a cup of tea and perhaps a smoke. Then I always wonder if I was just having a nic fit and this comforts me somewhat, especially due to the double entendre (Nikki having a fit - nic fit - right...). Then it gets better and then sometimes it gets so bad it makes me want to scream. The day is like this. It continues in this fashion. For example, am I so stressed and sick that I am going to vomit? Or have I just not eaten in awhile? Have a smoke - relax. Worry about cancer for a moment - realize there is no time for that. Write out some notecards, read an outline, panic that I am studying incorrectly. Do some multiple choice.....and accidentally fall asleep.

Awake in - yes - a panic. Consider all of my faults. Decide that I am going to fail for one of three reasons : I studying incorrectly, am stupid (that is really more a part of the first one), took too much time off by not studying Sat. night after 10pm and all day Sunday, or that there is some conspiracy going on and actually no one can remember all this information and bar passers are just randomly selected (there is little to disprove this as those who pass are not allowed to retrieve their tests or see their scores - - so run wild with that conspiracy theorists).

This takes some time then perhaps I try to write an essay which leads to much thought about study vs. application and whether I have memorized enough to apply it as of yet. Then I look at my bills and my loans......this leads to odd contemplations - - like perhaps I need a sugar daddy or maybe I could be one of those elite sort of hookers. This thought degenerates (if it really can degenerate much more)to my obviously important fear that I am not hot enough to be an elite hooker or stripper for that matter....which leads to alternately thinking of purchasing breasts (not an actual thought - just the door opener for the following) and then hating the whole damn sex industry and the men who subscribe to that which is almost all (so this thought is fleeting too - don't worry guys - I am a realist). Then I want someone to just love me for me and think I am hotter than any of those fake ladies.......but wait wasn't I studying?

Right - - so make a few phone calls to check on the progress of fellow studiers. Find odd things to be jealous of or worried about and then pick up and outline. Start reading and eyelids heavy - consider font and spelling. These outlines have lots of spelling mistakes. Create a game finding all the spelling mistakes - and realize 2 enjoyable hours have passed filling this totally useless task. Get a little panicked - read a couple of pages and realize that I have not eaten in what?? Days?? Go have a smoke. Worry about cancer and money while ordering extra expensive Nikki style pizza. Think about the new Brad Pitt commercial...wish he was a male whore or in the sex industry (then maybe I could get on board with the whole thing)...or in my bed. Think about sex. Realize I need some - contemplate how I will achieve this goal. Why do I live so far away? Fear of rejection (any form be it "I am busy" or otherwise really wrecks me in this crazy state) stops me from calling to request sex....and I settle for my right hand man.

Oh yes - studying...listen to creepy cds while folding laundry and time seems to be slipping away too quickly. I think about being able to study while I sleep/dream for long enough to realize that I have fallen asleep face down in the laundry and am dreaming but I dreaming about dreaming about studying and that the whole dream is narrated by some creepy guy (oh the creepy cd guy) - - again useless. Ahh...back to the studying..do some more notecards - those are always good. And be damn glad that I am barely sleeping at all because who has time to sleep at a time like this? I am obviously dying of cancer or starvation and going to fail the Bar because I watched the Super Bowl and that hardly matters since even if I passed I wouldn't be hot and sexy - - men don't like smart chicks. Ok - in case you are worried - - see the smile between all these lines........back to work at hand - Evidence or Professional Responsibility. Wait Evidence - ahh - that is better. I need a smoke.

What Do I want?

I am studying and I will continue. But what happens when you realize this is not what you want? All of my life I have wanted something and this is not it - - - but who am I to define my life by what I don't want? And...and I am so tired of everyone saying that what I do want is hard to achieve.....well fuck it. I mean it is hard to practice law, to be a mother, to play poker, to be nice when you are angry, and it is really hard to suffer in silence. Why should one do something that one does not want to do? The Money? the money.themoneythemoneythemoneythemoney
......arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
If I spent as much time writing as I do studying and wishing I wasn't studying, I would be the most amazing writer I could be. I will continue on this path but please oh please let this stop - - I don't want to find more paths and more reasons why I have to be doing something to make money or because I can.......what about happiness? I like writing and music and art and people and if I can't make a life out of that then why oh why should I make a life - - to just keep going to keep on the treadmill of my cock is bigger than yours, my car is so pretty, I ain't got no credit card companies on my back......well really who was ever happy with just the material goods and those who were or are - - are not me. I want the experiences - - I want the life.....I want to fuck shit up and I do not want this and at some point I will have to accept that as ok...maybe after I prove I can have it - - but it might be really fulfilling to walk away from it without that confrimation. I know I have something to share and who cares if it is hard to be a writer - - isn't it so much harder to live a life unfullfilled.....unattempted. I mean in the end we all have something to say and is it so crazy to think that I just may have something that may be viewed as unique?
