I am re-aquainting myself with the wonders of sleep deprivation. To give an idea of its possibilities, here's what I wrote during the first five minutes I was in class last night:
Introduction to Information Systems-A case study
I'm sitting here glancing furtively out the classroom door at the eyeball painting. I ignored it my first three semesters here, and the eyeball knows that, so it's trying to make me nervous. It stares in at me from the open door. I think it pities me.The people in this room are all secretly dead. At least they look it. Made-up corpses spray-painted to look virginal. The professor sleeps with his computer.
At the time, I thought it was the most brilliant stuff I'd written. I looked at it this morning and said, "What the Hell was I thinking?" My old creative writing teacher would be thrilled. She ate up B.S. like that; which was good for me, I suppose. I spent my entire Junior year of high school suffering from sleep deprivation. However, I still think the professor sleeps with his computer. It's just not natural to be that fond of a machine.
The people at this college don't believe in umbrellas. I think they're laboring under the misconception that rain makes their hair grow. Maybe it works for them-it just makes mine frizzy.
I think that article in the 'zine has had a really huge impact on Krisco. We passed her car as I was driving away from my boyfriend's house. I smiled at her-she glared at me. Some people are so anti-social. My boyfriend looked nervous, but as I told him, she's never going to follow us when we go somewhere again. In fact, thanks to that article, I think that if she accidentally finds herself behind me in traffic, she's going to get away as fast as possible. Just so I don't get the mistaken impression that she's following me. I think this partially makes up for all the months I felt powerless while she continually tried to throw herself at my boyfriend.
Payback's a bitch, isn't it?
Want to see the article about her? Click here to read "Tainted Love" I wish I could say I made up the things I attributed to her in the article.I finally managed to convince my boyfriend that having a separate site for our band's homepage is a good idea. Considering the fact that we plan to archive all the past articles from the 'zine on its homepage, it seems somewhat pointless to base our band's page on the same space, since we'd eventually have to move it anyway. Hopefully, the GSFU site will be up soon, but Dirk (my boyfriend) might be taking on more than he can handle, since he only has access to a computer at my house or when I let him tag along to college. Maybe I should resume my role as webmaster for the Über Alles Homepage.
