i've got nothing to say

i turn on joe this morning and decide that i will write a blog post before i get caught up in the nothingness that i do all day and miss the opportunity. i click on the new post button, stare at the cursor blinking in the empty box they give me, and... nothing. i can't think of a single thing to write. i check all the drafts i have piling up, but i don't feel like writing about/continuing any of them. i check my email. i check my other email. i check a third email. i come back to blogger and stare at the cursor. i read other people's blogs. i check formspring. i check blackboard. i watch the rain fall lightly outside of my window for a while. i stare at the blinking cursor. i check facebook. i check the weather. (you know, in case nbc wants to tell me that the rain outside my window is an illusion and we're really going to have a bright and sunny day.) i think that maybe i should start working on making a dent in the mountain of homework and assignments i have pushed under my rug. i hurry back to blogger to stare at the blinking cursor. writing about my inability to write seemed more productive than homework. especially when spring break is next week.

i used a lotion this morning that my sister left at our house before she abandoned the western hemisphere. i now understand why she left it. it smelled awful - like cough medicine mixed with ew. my hands were dry again ten minutes later. i used a different lotion that was definitely not unscented, despite statements on the bottle claiming otherwise. now my hands smell like cough medicine, ew, and new car. soap hasn't really helped.

also, i am on the hunt for music to really fall in love with. it has been a while since i found a song to listen to on repeat for hours. i have found some good music, yes, but nothing that i really fell in love with deep down in my soul. suggestions of your all-time favorite songs are welcome. and your current favorite songs. and that song that might become a favorite if you just listen to it one more time. help me out, people.
