Inventory pt 1.

I'm a compulsive list-maker. It's an uncontrollable urge that seems to increase in conjunction with lack of sleep. Here are current high/low points.

Yay:

• My sister, because not many other people are thoughtful enough to deck my room out with creepy-ass pictures of Hilary Clinton upon my return.
• Urban Texas! Particularly Dallas, which I've really come around to during the past few days. It's dramatic and metropolitan and gorgeous--a real "superhero" kind of city. I would love to live out of state and eventually abroad for a while, but I definitely would not mind continuing to call Texas home (I never thought I'd say it).
• Non-painful crushes! No explanation needed!
• A cat to sleep on my head at night.
• Not having to toss $2+ in chunk change every time I want to do laundry.
  

Eek:

• Not having money to buy things with.
• "I am a Scientist" is the most deceptively amazing song ever; none of Guided By Voices other songs were really ever able to live up to its promise (at least as far as I'm concerned), sorry to say.
  
• My Compaq because it sounds like it's digesting small woodland creatures.
• Discussing anything involving money with mom and dad.
• I can't seem to shake this goshdarned cough.
• Coming across some short stories I wrote for junior year creative writing--ick.
  

Here's to destroying any hopes of substance!
