Ha ha ha.  No.  Really though, I am sitting in the dark typing, which is probably not the best thing.  Especially considering I'm having to squint to the point that my cheeks hurt.  I amuse myself.  I can hear shit winding down around me.  My family is getting ready for bed, as am I.  I can here my father yelling about something and slamming around.  I always know it's him because it sounds as if someone is whacking away at the floor with a sledgehammer, or something to that effect.  I suppose I should mention that my parents room lies directly above my own.  My own.  It's not really my own.  I have decorated it with what is left of a former life so a few of the possessions in it do in fact belong to me.  Other than those trinkets (well, over a hundred books are more than mere 'trinkets' but you get my drift) though, nothing is mine.  This room I live in is one of my parent's spare bedrooms.  The bed I find myself drifting away in is not mine.  The internet I am using to bitch in this blog is not mine.  I am adrift.  But that's mostly a side note.&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I'm not really meaning to write about anything specific here.  I really just couldn't sleep.  This calms me . . . allows me to empty some of the thoughts clouding my mind.  Thoughts that usually run around in all sorts of geometric shapes disallowing me to fall into that slumber which I so desire.  My own real-life pensieve would be the best thing really.  I was horribly sucked into Harry Potter's world.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I've always wanted to write a book.  I have some pretty neat ideas.  Neat to me, leastways.  I will someday.  Right?  How many times do you say that in your lifetime?  A lot probably.  A whole hell of a lot.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;You know what's really a drag?  When people are so angry all the time.  I just don't get it.   Myself included.  Why get so wrapped up in getting whats fair that you lose half of your life because it was wasted being mad and fretting because something or some situation didn't end up what seemed the fair to you.   Myself, sitting here in this dark room, I am one to talk.  I am trying to vent or complain with sounding so negative.  Pretty much an impossible feat, but I will keep going despite.  Plenty of seemingly unfair things have happened to me.  I've had to examine and re-examine my past choices and mistakes.  This closer look revealed that all it comes down to is that I made a wrong choice and the wrong time.   It's so hard not to though.  It's so hard to know when enough is enough.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My hair is getting so long!!!  I'm very excited about this.   I keep saying I'm going to grow it out, but the moment it gets a little bit long, I cut it.  Argh!  Not this time hopefully.  I have been itching to slap some color in there somewhere.  I had black hair, but it's back to blonde now.  Maybe next time I'll go platinum blonde.  White like, oh, I don't know, white like the background of this little box I'm tying in.  AH!  I've been sitting here for about forty minutes!  I must must must go to sleep.  Goodnight all.  Goodnight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1637137976234590338-6879781751759591157?l=jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com/feeds/6879781751759591157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com/2009/10/sitting-here-secluded-in-my-room-all-by.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1637137976234590338/posts/default/6879781751759591157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1637137976234590338/posts/default/6879781751759591157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com/2009/10/sitting-here-secluded-in-my-room-all-by.html' title='p.s. the so-called &apos;high-speed internet&apos;  must be on some downers right now...'/><author><name>Jackie Paper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01051267981381424597</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GoCFdFu5lck/SuIJp1seVPI/AAAAAAAAABI/_ua81mHPdVI/S220/seeing.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1637137976234590338.post-5844673708995593541</id><published>2009-10-23T13:08:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T13:27:45.599-07:00</updated><title type='text'>And so it begins...</title><content type='html'>&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Blogging.  I have been 'blogging' all my life.  I realize that the term blog came from 'web log.' Even so all that really amounts to is a way for people to publicly journalize their views, thoughts, and opinions.  Maybe if I keep doing this for the next twenty years someone will actually read it.  Maybe I'll end up being one of those internet sensations.  Ya know?  Make a cool million on the side.  That would be pretty grand right?  It would.  You can't deny that if someone handed you a million bucks because of something you randomly wrote your life may be a little easier even if only for a second.  Maybe thats a lie though.   I guess if it ever happens I'll write a blog about it so as to pass along the actuality in that situation.&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I am always so negative.  I try hard not to be.  I try really hard.  It's almost inevitable.  Like my mind is just wired to automatically turn south in any situation.  Probably boils down to me being pretty dang selfish.  At least thats how I negatively view myself.  People that know me would say otherwise I'm sure, but you can only view the world from your own eyes.  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I have certain opinions that when voiced with certain people I get attacked for for reasons beyond my understanding.  I suppose this is how it is no matter when and what and who you exclaim these opinions too, but what the hell right?  I am pretty sure that things will get better.  They're getting better all the time (thanks John and Paul for this amazing and intuitive idea).  Hmm, I just paused for a minute and read what I have written and can already see that this blog is turning below zero on the number line.  I really do have good things to say and I really have good things in my life.  Focus on the good.  Maybe?  Maybe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1637137976234590338-5844673708995593541?l=jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com/feeds/5844673708995593541/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com/2009/10/and-so-it-begins.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1637137976234590338/posts/default/5844673708995593541'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1637137976234590338/posts/default/5844673708995593541'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jackie-paper-426.blogspot.com/2009/10/and-so-it-begins.html' title='And so it begins...'/><author><name>Jackie Paper</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01051267981381424597</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_GoCFdFu5lck/SuIJp1seVPI/AAAAAAAAABI/_ua81mHPdVI/S220/seeing.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
