Stop it or I'll bury you alive in a box.

The crankyness dial just keeps getting turned up. I swear it's at eleven. I just caught myself unconsciously grinding my teeth, something normally reserved for sleeping.

My cosmic twin [livejournal.com profile] writeli wrote this entry yesterday about hating everyone which I can just temporary crib because, as previously mentioned, we're cosmic twins.

Where is all this negativity coming from? I honestly don't have a conrete idea though I'm not ignoring my partial sleep deprivation. I feel like I bumped a body part and it released all this psychic memory that was being stored in some random muscle or joint.

Lil Kim's The Jump Off just came on. I'm sure it's a sign of some kind.

I almost always feel that, when you mention your LJ friends, I should immediately add them because if you like them, they must rule.

But is it a good sign, or a bad sign? I find myself looking for that song on the radio sometimes, when I'm stuck in traffic. I can't wait to have a new car with a CD player.

Also, several entries ago you asked whether or not it was wrong to add things to your to-do list after you've already done them, so that you can feel more accomplished. I think, absolutely not! Look at it this way: You're adding them to your to-do list and crossing them off, so that later you can remember that you've already done them if anyone asks you. You can point to your list (I keep mine in a notebook) and say, "Why, yes. I completed that task on Monday, July 20. It says so right here."

I prefer a variation on the theme. I often put things on my list, when I know that I will complete them immediately after they are added. Like, I'll write, "Call XX and ask about YY." Then I'll put my pen down, call XX, ask YY, get the answer, and then mark it off my list.

Lil Kim is always a good sign. I also suspected it meant at that moment Lowenstein was thinking of me, and sure enough she sent me an e-mail almost exactly in the same moment I posted this entry. Our psychic moments have soundtracks.

Thanks for the support on the to-do list! I also like to put thing on the to-do list really aren't chores or tasks that are hard to complete. Like "eat lunch" or "take nap".

Also, it's important to number the list. Even if you keep the list running for several days. It looks impressive to have 29 things on the list, with all but a few of them marked off. No one else knows that you haven't done all of those things in the span of just a few hours.

It's the little things we do to trick ourselves into feeling good that really count.
