HAPPY BLOGOVERSARY TO ME!

today, insanemonade is one year old!

after a year and some thought, this blog is going to become more than just fiction and (bad) poetry. those types of writing will still be part of the fabric of insanemonade, but i want to incorporate my other interests in here.

thank you for reading!

next

and another trip
home and mom
and sick
final and paper
and christmas

If I could just check off one thing on my to do list, I'd feel better.

poor post

sinus

headache

infection

fever

I think that speaks for itself.

sleep less

semester insomnia flashes bright
above the day
neon lists of things to accomplish
in hours days and minutes
behind the eyelids
no relief
just a few more days
but miles to go
before i sleep

I think I know just about every nook and cranny of my bedroom ceiling.

today

a million miles a minute
easier to navigate
faster
effectively
without the ADD of
email

I'm trying to put limits on how much I'm on email. I am realizing how much of a distraction it is to me daily.

The to the top of La Sagrada Familia. My legs just tremble. Amazing views, but insecure in my own stance. I don't let them stop me. Every picture they shake a little more, a little harder. The spiral staircase down was definitely the most unsettling part. Shaking legs and curves don't seem like a good combination. The process of this curch is beautiful. They expect it to be completely by the time I'm 50. Cheesy as this sounds, that'll be a good year to return (except that I don't like crowds...).
