Off to See the World

Well, a small part of it--again.
This will be my 4th trip to the outer banks.

Just wondering, am I the only one
who, when she goes on vacations, or even
the briefest of trips,
hopes to find . . .

something grand.
something spiritual.
something hopeful.
something fond about another.
some kind of new energy.
some kind of new self or understanding . . .

clarity?


I'll be back on the 20th to let you know how it went.

oh, find those at:

something grand - the biscuit cooler section at the grocery store...

something spiritual - at the top of most small hills, mountains, & such...

something hopeful - in my kids eyes... at the toystore.

something fond about another - in those stoopid commercials that play Iz just to make my cry...

some kind of new energy - yep, dunkin donuts, daily special...

some kind of new self or understanding - haven't found that yet, sorry...

clarity? - ???

Clarity -- Relief eye drops can do wonders.

Oh man! All I look for is an inclusive hotel with a swim up bar. Now that's spirits.

Or, I would argue, by writing a thesis:

something grand: 10 grands, actually. 10 grands of words.

something spiritual: the hourly "please god let me hit the word count. I don't even care about editing anymore" prayer.

something hopeful: hey! only 3,000 words to go!

something fond about another: I love everyone! everyone! why? because I haven't seen anyone in TWO weeks! I saw a housemate today and acted like she was my best friend forever and ever because... dude... she wasn't a computer.

some kind of new energy: yes, it's sleep deprivation mixed with caffeine and a huge anxiety attack.

some kind of new self or understanding: hey, it's ok if I don't get a diploma out of this. right? i mean, i learned a lot. i confirmed this is what i want to do. surely a phd program won't care that i flunked out of big name u?

clarity? are you kidding? the whole point of thesis is obfuscating the obvious. that's how you get 10 grand of words, after all.

hmmm. I think the home would be more fun.

I think your employer, your friends, students and people around you need to be warned about you. I feel strongly about this.
You are twisted, sad to the point of neurosis.
Please, Please, Please SquirrleyMojo. Find a doctor. I will do my best to find you and get you help.
Whether it's your sexual identity crisis, your mother touching you in your secret garden, or being raped when you were just a young adolescent, all those issues can be treated.
You do not have children. If you get help, maybe one day you can find a man who would be willing to help you have children.
Come to our website and you can disclose your identity there and it will remain confidential. Otherwise I have to rely on webstats and a rip of your entire site to peice together your location.
Please get help. You did not have children in your car. You did not do "Fight Club" moves on anyone. Truth be told, you never even went on vacation did you?

Come to the Altar.
