A Powerful Medicine

ramblings Okay, here we go. Once again I am making an attemp to just write. I don't know if this will contribute in any way to me writing more often or not, but after a comment I ended up posting on a friend's facebook status, I figured writing should probably come pretty easily to me tonight.
I tried to register, but the register link just refreshes the page. Or something. I dunno. Wait...I was probably only dedicating about 4% of my attention to what was going on b/c I was on the phone, so let me check again. Okay, yeah. Both the login and register links load the index page. And I have no idea why I just typed all of that out when I could have just double checked and then cut the comment off after the first sentence. Probably because I had already typed, "Or something. I dunno. Wait...," etc. and didn't want to backspace. Then by the time I had realized I was typing a whole bunch of ridiculous crap, I had already typed a bunch more and fallen into the mode of stream of consciousness writing. So now I'm pretty much just typing what I'm thinking, and I'm so off topic, but I'm finding it hard to stop. Stop. Okay, done. I should just delete all this crap because now all of Q's friends are going to think I am a total nutjob. Makes me think of "blowjob." Fuck it. I've somehow managed to turn a simple facebook comment into something that has morphed into a
I had to just stop mid sentence and click the comment button or else I would have gone on forever. For me to not at least attempt and transfer that stream of consciousness off into a blog entry would be foolish. So, here we go.
I have been in a really good mood tonight. I think the fact that tonight is the first night all week I've been able to just kick back without worrying about tomorrow has something to do with it. But more importantly, I think the fact that I am listening to music has even more to do with it.
It isn't often that I listen to music anywhere other than in the car anymore. I used to have music playing at all times if I was at home and not watching TV or a movie. I don't know why that changed, but tonight I decided to put on some music while I was working on some homework for one of my classes. When I was done, I left the music on and started messing around on facebook and doing other things.
For some reason I was craving Konflict, so I started a new Pandora station. (I've included some of the tracks in the related links.) After a while of listening, I realized I was in the most awesome frame of mind. When it hit me, I wanted so bad to to be able to share it. I would infect you with my mood, if I could.
Also, this is the kind of attitude where you're bound to have a good time. It makes me want to get together with a couple of my closest girlfriends and a bottle (or few) of wine and just goof off at home. It just sucks that I don't have any close girlfriends here.
I really hate how most of the people I am closest to are actually the farthest away. I'm limited to the phone, email and facebook as my only options for getting to socialize with my favorite people, and it has been this way for over a year.
But, I refuse to let that sad fact ruin this perfect mood. I honestly just don't have a care in the world. (And cue the Bob Marley lyrics...Singing, don't worry, about a thing. Cause every little thing, gonna be alright.)
Anyway, I feel like this music is what has done the trick. It's been so long since I've listened to any drum and bass while just relaxing, so I started thinking about what was going on in my life back when I used to do it all the time. I realized I was actually kinda blogging a lot back then. Maybe it was the music. Who knows!
Do I sense an experiment? We shall see.

SELECTAAAAAH!
REEEEEEEEEEEWIND!
Stream of consciousness stuff kicks arse. You should try your experiment with different genres, with wine, without...it'll be epic. Looking forward to it...(Don't stop now, you're on a roll!)
lol That would be a good one.
That's an awesome facebook comment lol.
I know how you feel about your best friends being the farthest away - somehow all of my best friends have moved and it's such a bummer :(
I'm posting as scone because I see that there is another Jennifer posting here. I know how you feel. I haven't done anything with my blog since I can't even remember when, haven't been listening to much music, and have no close girlfriends here. It is so horrible, and yet there is not much either of us can do about it. Perhaps someday soon we'll live close together again?!
That would be so nice if we did. I miss chatting it up over a bottle of wine at your place. I don't really have any remaining options to make friends here, but I can't exactly sit around and wait for them to fall into my lap either. I try to be patient, but it's not helping. Face to face is so much better than on the phone or Facebook. As for your blog, you should try to start writing again! Maybe we can both give each other a little push. :)
