I’m able to eat “real” food right now, but my throat is so f**king dry. For the past few days I’m only able to eat food with preservatives. It’s either that or I don’t eat anything at all. I have this thing about making decisions, when I can’t decide on where to go, what to do, (or what to eat for that matter); I don’t do (or eat) anything. When I feel that I am thinking too much (about a certain thing or problem), I shut down (kinda voluntary) and sleep.

We’re going to Laguna in a little while; we’re pushing with the outing despite the typhoon…cool.

I’ve wanted to write about this for quite a time now. Well, something happened that made me remember information given by our high school English teacher during one of our discussions: Wordsworth and Coleridge were like friends, but they opposed each other’s method in writing. For Coleridge, it was better to write at the “height of the emotion” because it is when we can capture the emotion best. Wordsworth, on the other hand, thinks otherwise; when we write at the height of the emotion, we tend to exaggerate or it will come out exaggerated. I think both writers have a point, but I’m more on Coleridge’s side. I think you can describe an emotion better if you’re still feeling it. It’s hard to imagine feeling a certain emotion, right? (What do you think jL?)

it is to be expected: i'm super bedridden right now (so why am i able to type away and rant here? i am going to a friend's house later, and i'm trying to get up and work, so as to muster enough energy to get there), days without sleep, being nocturnal... it's finally taking its toll. to add up to that, i'm also super dehydrated and i don't have much appetite; i'm practically living on water and soda.

anyway i got this test from a friend:

and the result that i got is:

You Should Be a Science Fiction Writer

Your ideas are very strange, and people often wonder what planet you're from.And while you may have some problems being "normal," you'll have no problems writing sci-fi.Whether it's epic films, important novels, or vivid comics...Your own little universe could leave an important mark on the world!

What Type of Writer Should You Be?

hmm...nice

kasabogan tlga ng mundo... i just realized that i can't write at will (o ng-iinarte lng aq?). earlier this morning i really wanted to write, but i can't bring myself into doing it (big deal skn n2 no). and right now, when i haven't had any sleep yet (i even took decolgen forte, and it's supposed to make you feel sleepy, right?), i suddenly find the urge (though i don't have much to say). writing really doesn't come easy for me. btw, my grandparents are in a brawl right now... cool (joke). i'm used to it. it's just a bit disappointing because we were supposed to go to antipolo and they called it off just to give way to their stupid fight. (tlgang knuwen2 eh nu, well, i just thought to share) sometimes we need these things to keep things real... i think. (did i make sense?) whatever, "tangina, inano kc aq nung ipis!" :) db chea?

sabog. i just finished watching buhay queso (actually, ung first cd lng) and it's really nice, very hilarious at times, but if you're not really into them, i don't know if you'll enjoy it as much. well, kanya-kanya lang yan.

ok, so i named this blog lick your elbow (i can't think of anything else, may naicp aqng isa, kya lang meron n pla nun) . Lick Your Elbow was one of the band name proposals we had. i just thought i could re-use it kasi sayang naman kung makakalimutan lng, and besides, i like the name.

i've long been suffering from writer's block (i don't know if i should even call myself a writer), and i found blogging as a perfect solution for that problem. but i was thinking, maybe my problem isn't writer's block, it's more about confidence (in writing). so i thought, here, you have an audience (hopefully). ibuhos daw ba ang insecurities s blog, haha. well, i just wish this thing would work (as some kind of exercise/practice?), so that i might start writing something again.
