Reasons why Halloween 2009 was awesome:
I got to sleep in because I was off work all day
I put on my costume at 2:30 p.m. and wore it all day long
I got to dress up as the Lady in the Radiator from Eraserhead
I watched a good werewolf movie called Bad Moon
I gave out candy to kids and watched Zach scare the shit out of some of them with a goat mask
I ate some of the candy that was supposed to be for the kids
I listened to the Misfits on the drive out to the party
I sat on a dock talking with great friends under a full moon
I accidentally dropped my shoe in the lake because my foot was asleep, but then Devin saved the day and fished it out for me
I drank whiskey out of a purple goblet all night
I listened to my friends play doom metal in the woods
I stayed out really late, but then got to set the clocks back an hour
It was great. Definitely a night to remember.

Well, it has been a month since I started this thing, and I'm just now returning. I can't do anything with the slightest hint of regularity.
I suppose for clarity's sake I should tell a little about myself, just in case anyone other than me decides to read my rambling.
My name is Lisa. I live in a small college town in central Arkansas with my roommate, Nate, his golden retriever, Captain, and my two cats, Sam and Lola. I graduated in May with a B.A. in English, but there isn't much one can do with an English degree without a teaching license, so I'm working on that now. I'll finish student teaching next May and be prepared (I think) to educate the masses.
I managed to keep a pretty nice scholarship for four years, so I was spoiled rotten through my entire college experience with free housing, free meals, and a hefty stipend. However, those days are gone, so I work at Target to attempt to support myself while I take 12 hours of class. Retail Hell isn't paying me enough, though, so I'm about to start a second job at Blockbuster, where I used to work. Two jobs and 12 hours of class won't leave me much time for anything else.
In the spare time I do have, I'm almost always with my friends. There are quite a few interesting characters in my life. Most of my good friends are guys, with a couple of exceptions--for some reason, I've always related more to guys than to girls, and I usually seem to get along with them better. They're obnoxious and unhygenic at times, but I love them anyway.
There isn't much to say about myself. I'll probably reveal a lot to you unintentionally just from what I decide to talk about.
I'm out of class for the week and off work until Saturday morning. Time to go find something cheap and exciting to do.
I'll try not to wait another month before posting again.

hallucinating arkansas.
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by
madness, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the negro streets at dawn
looking for an angry fix,
angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly
connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night...
...who passed through universities with radiant cool eyes
hallucinating Arkansas and Blake-light tragedy
among the scholars of war..." -Allen Ginsberg, "Howl"
