Just got a rejection email from a publisher... for a book that I've already published and has been on sale for many months now.
Oh noooooo.

I had no hangover during that time, I was still tipsy going to lectures...
The next 3 years were some horrific withdrawal symptoms though.
Definitely been still drunk going to my 9am lectures.
Showed up to do a presentation of my work with a temporary tattoo still on my face... Thankfully a lecturer had also been at the same three nights of parties for the event and had her tattoo on her cheek as well.
Once I'm done here I'm not drinking for a year.

As for what I'm doing, I was totally on a roll. 200 words in a half an hour and then it stopped and two hours has gone by. I get distracted so easily.
"Yes, I am a Free Lover. I have an inalienable, constitutional and natural right to love whom I may, to love as long or as short a period as I can; to change that love every day if I please, and with that right neither you nor any law you can frame have any right to interfere. And I have the further right to demand a free and unrestricted exercise of that right, and it is your duty not only to accord it, but as a community, to see I am protected in it. I trust that I am fully understood, for I mean just that, and nothing else."

Nice.
I tried to shave off a fake moustache and ended up cutting myself deeply, bleeding like a psychopath running after the bus...
It was around then I decided to stop even trying to attend non-compulsory lectures and spent my days smoking weed, drinking milkshakes, eating ice cream and cookies, playing xbox...
Good times.

Grumbling to myself about my HOA's double standards about landscaping.
Am planning on talking to a neighbor who did extensive planting and how she got away with it (seriously, she put in roses, hydrangeas, and relandscaped everything around her unit) when all I want to do is plant, like, 3 low maintenance shrubs that require watering (done by the sprinkler system) and pruning ONCE A YEAR to block the straight shot view into my living room.

Plant those shrubs, girl!
Ask permission after it's done. If you're even approached, act like that person's new garden made you think your shrubs were okay.
Just made up a recipe. I am so good. I had some stew meat frozen for like a month. Pulled that bitch out. Marinade with Balsamic, Soy, Brown Sugar, Mustard, Pepper and Salt for about an hour. Pan sear on high heat, when the steak is med-rare, throw in some onions, minced garlic, and mushrooms. Throw some balsamic in the pan and carmelize everything. Toss some penne pasta in EVOO, throw in the pan and toss everything together.
You got you some Mike's Steak and Pasta.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
