Hello, and welcome to the burning ache in David's soul. I'm your host David's id. Todays guests include, hunger, sleep deprivation, sexual frustration, angst, and bitterness.
Just kidding.
Kind of.
I've gone back on my medication. While Strattera makes me very focused, it also makes me incredibly drowsy and terribly terribly depressed. Aside from that, I can't really complain. I suppose before I rant I ought to do a monthly update.

1)I finally beat Morrowind. It only took me nine solid days of playing it without doing much eating, sleeping, or studying. I'd worry about the affect that will have on my academic performance but I'm too busy trying to get its expansion Tribunal to install. Besides, everytime I think of studying these days I feel like vomiting up apathy. Especially studying nutrition. I'm still unsure if I care less about nutrition more or less than toenail fungus in the third world, but when you get that far down the priority list its really not important.

2) I missed a test in nutrition. It was on a Wednesday and I thought It was on a friday. One test gets dropped, so it looks like I'll be taking the final after all. On a similar note, the class average on my last Physics test was a 43, which makes it the forerunner of my choices for dropped test in that class. Everything else is peachy.

3)I have been out of liquor so long I've forgotten what it feels like to be drunk. I shit you not. If I had a dollar for every time I've wanted a drink in the last 4 or five weeks I could pay my way for college and tell my parents to kiss my ass. I know some of you think this sounds like a cry for help, but I warn you: bring your goddamn "seek help" AA bullshit anywhere near my door I'm gonna ram one of the empty alcohol bottles in my closet so far up your ass that every Xray you take from now till you die will look like a magazine ad for Makers Mark. On the other hand, anybody who shows up on my doorstep with liquor is welcome company.

4)I am still single. I'm sure this comes as no surprise to those of you who read #3. Tough to stumble upon the right girl when you spend most of the day in your dorm room, I know, but at this point its probably not worth dealing with.

5)I got a haircut this morning. I'll give that a second to sink in. Got it a Wooten Barber Shop, come see it if you're interested.

6)The lingering traces of Strattera in my system when I sleep have been giving me some of my wierdest dreams to date. I had one a few days ago where I was living in Venice sharing rent with an Indian (dots not feathers) Olympic swimmer. I was working at gap and trying to pick up trendy Italian girls and he was working as a gondolier trying to steal them from their male accompanyment. I hate this stuff.

7)Recently, in an effort to stay out of the deep dark pits of depression that strattera seems to want to drag my soul into, I've been medicating with Happy Tree Friends. Occasionally I laugh so hard I cry. I don't know though, I'm wondering if the repeated viewing of cute pastel animals dying horrible deaths might eventually have adverse affects on me. Probably not.

8)My parents are coming into town tomorrow. They want to go eat sushi on Easter morning. Somehow that feels inherintly wrong to me. Its not Easter morning without stacks of substandard pancakes, overcooked bacon, undercooked sausage, and eggs that taste like pink and blue dye. Oh well, at least they're paying for it.

Thats my month. I know this entry is substandard even for me. By way of apology I'd like to say "Blow Me".
Some people are alive only because its illegal to kill them. Ask yourself if you are one of those people.
