sushi-girl

i have hang ups about raw fish....

yeh, you may know (my loyal reader)
i once was in culinary school, but ultimately
vegans don't make it far
in culianry...

at least,
NOT in the midwest...

(a, le sigh....)

so i have returned to my original major-
art history-

which is lovely
and doesn't compromise my veganinity...

anyway-
while at school, i often frequent
Thai Cafe on Ludlow, which offers truly succlent tofu dishes as well as
a massive edamame appetizer,
and one day i get this weird craving for some
sushi, because it sounds light, refreshing, healthy et al

and

even thought i KNOW
it is simply:
zucchini
carrot
rice
seaweed

i STILL
hesitate, because it was on the
sushi list.

so i sit
and stare down at my plate,
and four rolls
of raw vegetables
with crinkled nose
coaxing myself
pretending the fate of the planet
lies in my open mouth
and anti-dexterous fingertips
that have broken two pairs of chopsticks-
that if i were to take only a single bite
EARTH would be saved from evil
aliens
who wish to do elaborate testing
in peculiar anatomical avenues

...

i sit a while

...

then i realize the kikkoman-
which i had sworn off
due to its whopping 920mg of sodium per
TEASPOON
which is great
if you can't find any HELIUM
with which to engorge yourself

i proceed to DOUSE my "sushi" in the sauce
and with closed eyes and
pounding heart
i
take
a
bite.

....

i now enjoy this veggie sushi
weekly
daily sometimes-
as a midnight snack
lunch or
any situation wherein sushi may be
appropriate.

everything all the time

i just can't reconcile awful people any longer.

i merely wish to maintain anonymity especially where i spend most of my time.

and as for you, 1003-02,

i'm too tired to pay attention.

today today

i get new tattoos today.

...

i can't even describe my excitement.

...

oh my god.

never gonna make it out alive

i love cincinnati in the snow-time

....

i also love it when work calls and tells me not to come in,
because (out of profound concern for the well-being of their
talented, irreplaceable associates) they feel the road conditions
are far too hazardous.

right?

right.

i expect a phone call a.n..y... m.i..n...u....t.....e...

...

my morning

savoring some earl gray and vivaldi

.f.-.y.e.h.

so i couldn't .s.l..e...e....p because my bed feels like feathers and cue balls,
THUS i was (irrevocably) up by 4:42, even though i pretended to sleep
on the couch...

this, naturally, was intercepted by my neighbour who may as well be some sort of
dinosaur--

her noise bothers me exceptionally, because i have grown quite fond of a program on
DISCOVERY
called A Haunting, wherein REAL people tell REAL ghost stories,
which causes me a great deal of paranoia, and i begin to believe there
is a well under the house full of decapitated heads....

anyway...

so now i'm at school
and i somehow have abundant get-up-and-go
and i want to do all me homework

so horray for me

distracted, pt 2

unfair....

why can't i focus??

i received news from h&r block that my federal return has been sent to my bank,
except the bank could choose to take up to 5 days to process this
which just won't work for me....

i have tattoos i need to get
