Spring break 2009 is officially drawing to a close, and I'm proud to announce that I spent my 9 days off from school constructively this year. Sort of. If you count painfully long strides towards hell to be constructive. I've got my bases covered, as far as sins go.
Gula: Five meals a day, every day, plus snacks. It had nothing to do with appetite - I was bored and the fridge was well-stocked. What can I say? I'm an opportunist.
Acedia: Not that this is any surprise, but I saw more of my bed these past 9 days than I'd seen of it all year. I did not write, did not draw, did not think. And, ah, it was beautiful. I'll have a hell of a time dragging myself back out at 7:00 tomorrow morning.
Avaritia: My bank account is doing well. I am not sharing. Instead I've spent it on silly things and hoarded them all in my room. Perfumes, alcohol, and clothes. Greedy little thing I am.
Luxuria: Surprised? Me too.
Superbia: Well this is pretty much a constant. It's not that I actually love myself - quite the opposite. It's funny, I think it all started when Nori passed away. It's been almost a year that I've been stuck in this rut, putting myself first, thinking of myself, concentrating on how I feel. And, yeah, I've ignored everyone else in the process. It's been coming back to bite me, though, don't you worry. Karma's got my name and address memorized by now.
Invidia: Everyone's in Europe or Brazil or Germany or, hell, Ontario, while I'm stuck in Manitoba. Marissa's best friends with my old best friends. Evan's completely lost interest in me. The guys are drifting away. Basically, I've been envying every person with a best friend who got the chance to leave the province for Spring Break. It's pretty draining.
Ira: I don't think I'll ever be able to keep myself from hating some people, but I should be able to fake it by now. I still choose to make it all public, though. And I can be pretty harsh about it. I'm just vocal, I guess, but it's certainly not winning me any inner-beauty pageants.
I can't imagine how karma will settle the score this time, but I know it will happen. It always does. I just pray it will wait until Tuesday and allow me a peaceful Monday, just to get back on my feet.
Also, I have no idea who even reads this anymore, but if you are, please take a few minutes to visit Dave Smallen's website. He's got three fantastic songs available to listen to, all of which have had their turn spending hours on repeat on my ipod. I wish I could write the way this man can write. Please lend him your ears for at least one song. :)
