Okay…. psychological crisis neatly averted. Dr. Robot Nancy calmly talked me off of my psychological ledge and convinced me that i just need to do some laundry and buy a g-string tomorrow. Err… some g-strings. Err… make that some guitar strings. There. That makes it much less sexual and keeps it neatly separated from the romantic tangles which i have been neatly avoiding any mention of. I suppose you should be subscribed to the mailing list :p

i am out of g-strings. out. i have 10 of every other string except for g. this makes sense, since i buy b and e in bulk and hardly ever break d and a enough to buy multiple packs of strings at once. this is bad because i don’t know when i can get to a music store and i really really need a string to be able to play my guitar, ya know? damnit… add one more thing to tomorrow’s to-do list. fuck.

Some days i just feel as though i am slowly suffocating… tangled up in life and with each tiny attempt to get free i’m just getting more and more wrapped up. Tonight doing anything makes me vaguely sick with a kernel of potential violence … my broken guitar string urges me to thrash at the other five with my pick until they all relinquish their hold on the bridge. That was the start. Next came the absolutely desolation of my apartment… no food, nothing to do but use my computer and listen to music, the heat trickling into every pour to account for the sweat coming out. The only way i can describe this feel is trapped… i am all wound up with nowhere to go and this apartment is slowly suffocating me and the only thing i can think to do to keep my thoughts flowing and in order is write, because it’s the only thing that would make sense right now. Part of the problem is the mess… the apartment is a perpetual mess, because no matter how many times i try to clean it there aren’t enough places to put my things. Looking around just makes me feel more tangled, like every little spare piece of crap is exerting its own pull on me like all the tiny people and Gulliver. However, mostly two things are bothering me. The first is that i need a new g-string for my guitar, and my guitar strings are nowhere to be found. This is especially annoying because i was writing a new song that was rather intelligent sounding and i’d like to continue. The other is tonight… this empty messy apartment and me and all the thoughts i’ve got bottled up in my head. Empty, messy, and bottled up are all things i’d like to be different. But, anyway, i just had to type something to release some of all this pent up furious energy, and i apologize if it sounds like some awful teenage diary rant, but i just want tomorrow to get here. Now.
