my writing is a garbled MESS today. i cannot properly express very basic intellectual ideas, much less string them together into a coherent foundation on which to ground a cogent argument, to SAVE MY LIFE.

i believe an alchemist has transformed my gray matter into lead (which is another kind of gray matter, after all). commence reflection upon the properties of lead...

dense.

uniform.

cold.

soft.

metallic.

melts at a relatively low temparature.

poisonous.

gets your hands grubby when you handle it.

impervious to readiation.

(get it? readiation.)

Bummer. Give it a rest, perhaps you'll feel better? I hate it when the muse abandons me. Not just abandons me, but ties my shoelaces together, takes my keys and runs off with my boyfriend. Drat.

gah! i don't have time to take a rest, unfortunately; lots to do, lots to do....

the difficulty is that i'm working on something that i really don't enjoy working on; i have to do it and i don't want to, and it has become this enormous THING standing in my way.

blocked blocked blocked by my brain-O-lead and my stubborn stubbornness. "i don't waaaannnnnaaaaa!!!!"

You know, looking at this post: it's fairly inspired. I think your writing isn't bad at all :P

I am often afflicted with the Idon Wannas. I feel yer pain.

p.s. the muse in this case is standing just beyond reach, taunting me, telling me i'm stupid and that i'll never amount to anything anyway so i might as well just give up.

fucker.

Why that cocky, two timing inspiration hooker! You rush her, I'll kneel behind her knees to trip her up. GET HER!

[arguchik.livejournal.com]

yeah, she's a bitch. to add insult to injury, she speaks with the voice of my mother--as filtered and contorted/distorted by my own memory, of course.

if you want us to trick her, we're going to have to be really sneaky...she has eyes in the back of her head as well as in the sides, and she'll see us coming and read our intentions before we're even aware of them ourselves.

crafty, crafty, crafty...

mercury's at the peak of retrograde daawwwwgggggg

[arguchik.livejournal.com]

and that means no writing for the odd aquarius? what's annoying is that i constantly feel like meaning and cogency are right on the tip of my tongue/fingertips, but when i try to put it into actual words, i cannot.

i'm having the same frustration with a text i'm trying to read, actually. i go back and forth from writing to reading as frustration dictates...and that frustration is mounting. i have spent all morning on this, with the odd LJ break (of course), and i have managed to write 2 pages and to read 24 of the 34 i need to finish. 34 pages of theoretical reading should normally take me about an hour and a half, two hours at most (i'm a slow reader), but today...........interminable!!!!!

mercury retrogrades happen a couple times a year and bugger up communication and electronics. like clockwork. at my job, every single retrograde--email goes down, digital cameras don't work, we all get in fights, attachments are lost, software fritzes, everyone feels confused. it should be dying down in about two weeks. :D

well i mean like all astrology you can overcome it but just take good care of yourself! maybe you need a snack, something w/ complex fiber and protein. like peanut butter on wheat toast.

[arguchik.livejournal.com]

LOL. what i need is a punching bag. or a padded, soundproof room with no windows where i can go and have a tantrum without feeling bad for disturbing anyone, and without worrying that someone who loves me will stage an intervention.

or a xanax.

if you have itunes a friend-of-a-friend, michael white, does free hypnosis podcasts that actually help! you need to hear the one about pandas!

other than that, i got nothing.

this has been claudia sherman, with your 'hippie bullshit wednesday.'

Just wanted to say that I know this feeling, and I also hate it. A nap sometimes helps, but sometimes it's just something about me the whole day. The next day I'm fine and never really figure out what was wrong with me the previous day!
