i got my iPod speakers out and am listening to all the radiohead albums i just illegally acquired. i set up my speakers and my computer and everything in the bathroom because the rest of the house is unbearably cold. my mom may have come home from work hours ago and i wouldn't know because i am holed up in the bathroom like a crazy person.
when i was little i used to procrastinate all evening and be forced to do my homework at night and for some reason i would get up in the middle of the night and go do my homework in the bathroom. i also kept a diary for the entirety of eighth grade and would do most of my diary writing in the bathroom. i'm sure it was partly because of the warmth. it's probably also because i find small spaces comforting and our bathroom is fucking tiny as hell.
i tend to not do so well with large amounts of unstructured time, especially when it's spent alone.
the only thing i've really done today was go to east high to hear the illinois wind symphony play the concert at orchestra hall that i'm too broke and lazy to go see in chicago. there were 43598735 kids there, mostly junior high kids, and i somehow managed to sit like two feet away from the people i wanted to see the least and not even realize it until like the second piece in. so then afterwards i slunk (word?) out of there to drink coffee and eat too much and waste time.
i feel bad for not playing with my dogs whenever i'm home. maybe i should bring them into the bathroom with me like my mom used to do with our old airedale when there were tornado warnings. they prolly get cold too.
