Hi guys! I've been intensely busy with a bazillion things and I'm so used to rushing around day after day that I literally don't know what to do with myself now that I have the weekend and I don't have a million errands to run or EMT class to go to or working for my prof to clean slides and whatnot. It's actually dangerous to have so much time to think about things.
Here's a prime example:
I woke up this morning and texted good morning to my girlfriend. She didn't respond, but this is standard procedure since I figured she'd sleep until 12:00 or so. I made myself a leisurely breakfast of eggs in a basket. It's quite literally the only thing I can reliably make. Even then I burned the edges of one of them. But it was still delicious, so there you are. I then judiciously decided to do my laundry because, upon occasion I rather enjoy pretending that I'm actually an adult. So anyway, I packed up my EMT book to study while I waited for my clothes to be done, dragged my hamper, detergent, and dryer sheets (with lavender) to the laundromat and got all my stuff into the wash. Then I sat down and opened my book, determined to study like a good little student instead of assuming (as I usually do) that I know everything already (which I do. Probably. Like 80% or the material, maybe. Whatever, I have Monday to study, too.) I was about a chapter in when I realized it was 1:00 and my girlfriend had yet to respond. How unlike her, I thought. I played around on Restaurant Story (my Seafood Paella had another two hours to go) and then went back to my book. At 1:20, after reviewing the scope of duty of a basic EMT, I put the book down again. I was remembered a story one of our instructors had told us last Thursday about a man who had gone into severe respiratory distress in the night and nobody had found him until after he was long dead.
Then the thought struck me: ... What if my girlfriend's dead? And nobody knows it because she sleeps with her door closed and it's Sunday so her mother and brother might just think she's sleeping in but then what if she's actually suffocating orsomethingandOhGod,Ihavetocallherrightnowtofindoutorelseshemightdieandisitpossibletosendanambulancetoherhouseeventhoughweliveindifferentcounties?
So I called her and woke her out of a very sound sleep just to make sure she wasn't dead.
She wasn't.
My conclusion is that I need something else to pass the time or else I'll be calling her every five minutes to make sure she's not dead. And when I'm not doing that, I'll be worrying about how my heart will probably explode because I'm pre-hypertensive. I'm just anxious like that. Please don't judge me (much).
Anyway, I decided that a healthy outlet would be to get a tumblr and do as many sit-ups as I could until I got tired.
TLDR: I got a tumblr: o-ohhai.tumblr.com
I also don't know how to use it, so... Help?
But really, the reason I have a deviantART account is to write poetry, right? I'm very sorry to say that I don't have any for you all (assuming anybody reads this and you haven't all lost patience with my utter lack of new poetry). It's very hard to write when I'm so happy. I don't think I quite have the words to say how I feel. It's harder, I think, to write when you're happy. Everything I try comes out so sugary that I'm afraid some of you might collapse in an insulin-induced coma.
But there you are.

The Physics of Shameless Advertising
I hate physics. I know that every other science is really applied physics, but for goodness sake, I just hate that subject.
Bio's where it's at.
Anyway, I don't know if you all remember, but some time ago I featured a book called Ashes in this journal that I really enjoyed reading. I promised to let you all know when it was actually released (I had read an ARC of it), and I'm happy to report that it is, in fact, out and about in stores near you (aaand I sound like a commercial).
I know for a fact that the book is out in the US as well as Australia, the UK, Ireland, and Germany. So if you happen to live in any of these places and fancy an a
Back?
Sort of?
I'm not sure.
But I was sorting through my inbox, and in that vast sea of unread poetry and prose, I noticed a certain theme. Or rather, a certain phrase. There was a lot of "I wonder"-ing.
I wonder lots of things, so I couldn't resist a bit of navel-gazing of my own. I'm not making light of anybody else's musings, of course. Only my own. Some of my thoughts aren't meant for civilized conversation. That's why I keep them locked safely in my head where they can do minimal damage.
It's not my best and brightest, I'm sure. Also not meant for young audiences, really. But it's something. Hopefully an inaugural something. It's nearly a

Hey, so remember when I wrote Daffodils because gurukiki (https://www.deviantart.com/gurukiki) made me? Well, it was also part of the deal that she try to write something of her own. She thinks she's only good at photography, which is total bs. I mean, she is, only I was willing to bet that it wasn't the only thing she's good at, and she just posted something and it turns out that I'm right.
I'm always right ;)
Anyway, go read this because I really like it. And then go see her photos because I like them, too. Actually, just go stalk her gallery. It's small, but there are some real gems.
Loves!
Also, this, because I like terrible, beautiful things and all of these are ter

Jeez, I've missed you. Is it possible to miss someone that you've never met? I guess so.
As long as there's nothing for me to read, I'll take it as a sigh that you're happy.
And that's enough for me.
