it's been a while since i last held a blank sheet of paper and a pen with the intent to indite nonsense except of course to answer a quiz which is nonsense all the same.

this feels good really and funny.

lately i've been so taken up in school even during free time deciding where to go and what to do. like now. up until 5 minutes ago anyway when i remembered to listen to mp3's and write.

i'm listening to downloaded songs of sheila and the insects. i plan to buy their flowerfish album soon unless someone has the sensibility to give me it as a gift in whichever of three christmas parties i'll be going to before the break. going back, this is the band i dig most. deep, dark, mean, wise, just right.

i'm surrounded by people studying pharmacology which is purportedly the most difficult subject in second year of med. i don't really know. but i know it's difficult.

i hate it when one ditty ends -- those seconds when nothing's playing because the player's still trying to read the next track. during those long seconds, i could hear what they're memorizing which i can't stand.

it's four hours before my next class. i'm alright now. music and writing is good. and i'm having a smoke after 5 minutes.

incidentally, kat's beside me trying to study which is actually the right thing to do. for some reason, we just can't study together. she'd turned her back on me. how i love her.
