If the Fortune Teller says so...

I went to New Orleans for New Year's 2019. It was fantastic, with a vibrant night life and extremely fatty foods. The beignets were my favourite.

The company was also lovely; I went with Jordan, his cousin(my cousin-in-law), and her boyfriend. They are really fun, and we always have a great time with them. We went on a ghost tour which was fascinating as well as thoroughly disturbing. It was so strange to look at home where murders, suicides, and torture took place. Yuck! I was intrigued by the voodoo scene, and so I went to see a fortune teller at a voodoo place.

The fortune teller told me that I am a writer. She said that I should be writing, and that I would be able to support my children that way. Apparently I am going to have 2 or 3 children, she couldn't be sure. I am going to live to the ripe old age of 89 or 90.
I used to write a lot. I wrote blogs, poetry, journal entries, and assignments for school. It is true that I do not write so much anymore. I still write in my journal from time to time, but even that is pretty sparse. Maybe she is right and maybe she isn't, but since she told me that, I've been thinking about it. I've been seizing opportunities to write here and there. I helped a friend write her online dating profile last Friday and I really enjoyed it. I also wrote in my journal and made a mental outline of an article I could write for a friend's blog. I am going to take the psychic/voodoo priestess' advice and write more.

Here's a poem for today:

In Winter
Image result for cozy winter
In winter,
take the time to do things
Things that warm your soul
Wear fluffy slippers
Drink hot tea or cider
Cuddle in your pjs
Curl up with a book
Snuggle with a significant other
In between flannel sheets
It's these little things
that can make winter cozy
And even somewhat enjoyable

Happy to cry... Joan of Arcadia made me cry ... again... It was such an amazing episode. There were so many little things to catch and I prolly missed some. But the whole part how Judith made the guy memorize Hamlet for her (tragedy where leading female dies) and just as he is finished it, she herself dies. And how Joan can always keep a part of Judith with her and just so many things. That show is soo good to me because it is really moving and it makes you think (as well as cry if you are like me). I am happy to cry because I can actually feel something. Experiencing something through a television. Before I was thinking about what it would be like to be someone else with a different kind of life. It just feels like I am not feeling enough right now. I know I am actually experiencing a lot and to use the simile katie did, it is "just like the earth is always moving but we never feel it". But I want to feel it. It's like something is missing. Lately I feel as if I have...

Lethargic... That's the perfect word to describe how I've been feeling. School starts tomorrow. I have to wake up at 7... ugggh. At least I finish at 10:30. After I have to go to the bank to pay my tuition and then pick up my two new pairs of glasses. I'm not even sure if they look nice but I just didn't feel like shopping around anymore. The place with the pair i really liked was closed but where I went I ended up getting two pairs for less then it would have cost for the one. So meehh. One of them is pink tho so that's pretty funky. I'll take a cam pic if I can figure out how to work my cam. That's why i've had this old one up forever, I don't know how to make it jpg after i take it instead of uhhh whatever the other one is. Man I'm bloody tired.

Man i'm so grumpy now. I was going to go to my dancing thingy tonight but I really just feel like crawling under my covers and hiding (and watching the oc) . Bad me, yes I know. I had my stats mid term today. I'm pretty upset about it. I studied so much and did so much work for that test and it was the easiest questions ever. SO much wasted time. Like the questions were things I was already answering in highschool, simple standard deviation and z scores and like mean and median. Ok well some stuff was mildly tougher but still. And the thing is, I totally fucked it up anyways. I knew it all but ok... let's start from the beginning. I was on time to get my bus but it got every fucking red light possible and went SOOO slow that i ended up being 5 minutes late for class. Then i was reading the question and I missed the one had lots of parts so I thought I had so much more time then I actually did. And so I was answering the questions and then realized I had no time and tried t...
