lay no more drama on me

I'm declaring a ban on emotional involvement of drama in my life. Which is to say, I'm just going to stop caring and start laughing. Er, harder. I feel above it all, somehow.

Not because of any sort of inherent superiority, per se, just that I'm making a conscious decision not to get involved. Which is sorta superior if you think about it. I can't deny a taste for drama, but just like a rich dessert, it's bad for me and I can only handle so much before I feel sick.

I often get bogged down in caring about shit - that is, worried about it - till I realize that it's not that big of a deal, and suddenly, it isn't, the weight's lifted. I don't know why more people don't do this. Maybe they don't know about it. But even in high school I could tell myself, "Hey, you know, in a week, you'll still be alive and well," and things would automagically improve. I can't always remember to do this - hell, half the time it just happens without me even trying - but it's always nice when it does.

Anyway.

Last Seven Albums I Heard While Working:
mystic - cuts for luck and scars for freedom
interpol - turn on the bright lights
Simple Minds - glittering prize
beatles - for sale, past masters 1
pet shop boys - very
the faint - blank wave arcade



I just processed a medical record of a massage patient, who had to draw in the areas where she felt pain. Little diagrams of a lady, and on some of them she drew costumes. Like, the first time she got bored I guess, a leotard. Second time, Carmen Miranda-esque. Third time, Motley fool-garb. Fourth time, devil horns and shit. It was kinda funny. She's like, 38 years old at the time. See Steve, another funny female.

You also learn which people to avoid if you don't feel like getting sucked into their web of craziness.

i end up staying home a lot because of this.
