Excessive

Alright so I haven't been writing lately and awhile ago it was because I was feeling severely depressed and upset and my routine was off and I felt weird and writing wasn't on my mind. Alternatively and more recently, I've been too busy being happy and reading, playing Mass Effect and working in the garden and watching movies and writing slips from my mind, but I know that that's bad. I know that losing my routine is dangerous, and I already feel regret and anger over missing writing this month, so I need to change that.

Change is an interesting thing, as I feel there is a trick to it. People seem to lack the strength of self control, or like.. will. To change something in your life, even something small like.. maybe you feel tired and wish you wrote more... you force yourself to do it then. You make the choice in your head, you decide to do it and make yourself do it. Most of the time you find out that being tired wasn't that much of a hindrance once you start doing it. Making the choice in your head is key to everything, to sticking to a routine, to doing things that will lead to your own comfort and stability.

When we went to Chapters the other day, I got a lot of books, as I've been reading a bunch and the idea of getting a ton of books to read was really exciting. I bought: Thee Search For Wondla (fantasy), Graceling (fantasy), Bite Me (comedy vampire fiction), The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (fiction), The Last Days of the Incans (history - nonfiction), The Sorcerer's House (bargain random weird fiction), Kitchen Confidential (biography), Girl Walks Into A Bar (biography), Long Hard Road Out of Hell (biography) aaaaand, that might be it. So many good things to read!

We also saw the Hunger Games, which was great fun. It was a great companion piece to the book, but I'm not sure if I would've liked it as much if I hadn't read the book, because I knew so much more about what was going on and stuff. I had fun though, and that's what matters.

So I've been reading a lot, for the last few days... I read Girl Walks Into A Bar on the first night I got it, and then started Long Hard Road Out Of Hell... the Marilyn Manson biography that I read back in 2003 or 2004 or something, and enjoyed way more than I had expected, and so re-reading it years later, it's as enjoyable, engrossing, and fun or interesting to read. I'm also reading Storm of Swords still, and Catching Fire (the second hunger games book).

I've played a lot of Mass Effect 2 in the last little while, but haven't played in the last day or two, and I'm eager to get back to it.

I've got my school schedule, and it's quite interesting. I guess it's because the classes are technically accelerated, so like.. there aren't many classes and the hours seem short, but apparently it's a shitload of work, in a very short amount of time.

Well, I have to open tomorrow, and I feel sick right now from using my brain, so I think I need to stop.
