Usually, anyway. Lately I have felt it too damn often. My life is so strange right now. Yesterday, this guy looked at me and said, "You're so lucky. You live in Paradise." In my head, I started laughing. It grew to near-maniacal. I began to sob hysterically. I wept so hard that I couldn't breathe. What the handsome, stupid man saw was just a girl with a slightly sad smile. I went down to the water, spent a little while finding clams with my son, and then he and I fell asleep together on the dock. It was a beautiful day. a sad, wretched day.&lt;br /&gt;I miss my mother. Goddammit. She was fucking crazy, often cruel, and strong as hell. And I am more like her than I ever wanted to be. I hate that. I watched a movie last night. Neverwas. It's a really good movie. I felt so alone when it was over. I thought about my mother, how insane she was, how much she'd have loved it. How in spite of her insanity, she did love me and she was there for me. I am so fucking sick of feeling so goddamn alone. You're there. I have you. kinda. and I have the watered-down versions of you, but I am still alone.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-5488610758601147215?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/5488610758601147215'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/5488610758601147215'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2007/08/dawn-is-when-melancholy-sets-in.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116494391636950014</id><published>2006-11-30T19:07:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-11-30T22:31:56.423-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;It's been a while since I've blogged. I &lt;em&gt;could&lt;/em&gt; write about how my thanksgiving went- it was... odd. Instead, I'll write about my job. They actually had me sign a no-blog form stating that said I will be fired for discussing work, employees and products online. One manager has hated me from my first day. RHONDA. One of these mornings I am going to show up half in-the-bag or jacked-up on blow and I am going to kick her fucking ass. Well, probably not. But I do really want to snap her scrawny ass like a twig. She thinks I want her job. Silly bitch, I want her boss' job.  I had 2 department heads fighting over me today, that was neat. I've switched departments and now work in apparel. I tore the whole back room apart. One thing I have is mad organizational skills. I was warned not to continue working so hard by a few employees since then I'll be expected to maintain that same work ethic constantly. I've taken that suggestion to heart. After all, I just want money. I don't really want to work. And I don't feel like blogging right now, either.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116494391636950014?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116494391636950014'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116494391636950014'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/11/its-been-while-since-ive-blogged.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116397274314017614</id><published>2006-11-19T16:42:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-11-19T16:45:43.150-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/coyoteshivers.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/320/coyoteshivers.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The word of the day is: Money. &lt;br /&gt;That’s right. Loot, green, moolah, the benjamins, whatever you call it, I wants it. &lt;br /&gt;In an ideal world, money wouldn’t be of any importance. There’d be a lovely utopian communal-type way of life where we all got naked, held hands, sang songs and dropped hallucinogenics on a very regular basis. BUT, as much as I’d love that sort of thing, I realize that it takes money to get my converse. It takes money to buy my drugs. Well, usually. I can only mooch off the fam for so long. I mean, I want to have some sort of inheritance or else how will I buy that love shack in Thailand where I plan to live out my elder years with an IV drip and several lithe, young  locals to fulfill all my sexual needs? Hmm? Oh yeah, employment. &lt;br /&gt;SOOOO……&lt;br /&gt;I’m starting a new job tomorrow. Soon I will rule the world. Funny thing, I am wanting to go to a premier party in Detroit this weekend and if the new job won’t let me take the night off, I will soon be unemployed again. &lt;br /&gt;I’m a little too impulsive, I suppose. Maybe?  Fuck it. My priorities are right where I like them.     &lt;br /&gt;I had a little binging to do and when I went to sleep at noon on Saturday, I popped in the movie Empire Records. As with several substances, I came in and out of consciousness frequently and since my dvd player is on repeat, I ended up with Coyote Shivers’ Sugar High in my head all of last night and today. That and Money by whoever the hell made that one. I’m adding a pic of Coyote Shivers onto this post because whatever he may be in life, I do think the man knows how to party. I respect that. Also, I love his voice.&lt;br /&gt;Alright, I need to recuperate from this weekend. I’m done.   &lt;br /&gt;Oh, one last thing:&lt;br /&gt;I sent a fossil of a 350 myo cephalopod called an orthoceras to this guy once. I had one sent to me this weekend. Now how many fucking people would find something like that to be a cool gift? Apparently there are 2 of us. &lt;br /&gt;Drugs or fossils. Send either.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116397274314017614?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116397274314017614'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116397274314017614'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/11/word-of-day-is-money.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116304841969984484</id><published>2006-11-08T23:59:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-11-09T00:00:19.706-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I stood in line behind a fat man last weekend, JUST in case someone decided to bust caps and whatnots into the crowd. He’s a big target and would, at the least, slow the bullets down. I made it backstage and met the bands- something that’d have gotten me wet like 10 years ago. Unfortunately, I missed meeting Marky Ramone by like 10 minutes. I drank many beers, made out with this beautiful 20yo chicky and drug her into her first pit. I kicked ass in that pit. It may be a testament to my age, but that was the first pit that I had zero fear in. This one bitch shoved me and I sent her flying halfway across the pit. She turned around and flipped me off, starting her bitching, and I screamed at her, “I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!” and she believed it. Her eyes were huge and she lost the little balls she’d had and she backed off. That was… unnerving. I went from fun to crazy in seconds. I’ll blame the music.     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bruises reveal just how much I enjoyed Fiend Fest ‘06. &lt;br /&gt;I hated Orange.&lt;br /&gt;I loved Osaka Popstar. They were my favorite performance of the night. They even do a cover of the Sailor Moon song. Oh, and a punked-out version of Man of Constant Sorrow.&lt;br /&gt;The Adicts have a huge following. I met a couple at the pit’s outskirts who came from Columbus, Ohio. There was another guy from Alberta, Canada. My most memorable moment of their performance was when this guy with liberty spikes AT LEAST a foot tall walked by, I asked him, “How did you get them to stay? Egg whites?” He looked at me and said, “Why the hell would someone put egg in their hair?” and I realized that this new generation of “punk” sucks. Their clothes are all bought with the holes already in them. From Hot Topic. At least they came to the right place for a schoolin.’   &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I was totally surprised at the talent of Juicehead. The drummer is really cool but the lead guitar/vocals/songwriter has what I see as an exceptionally huge career ahead of him. Huge. The stupid bassist needs to be dropped from the band. Immediately. I found him to be an arrogant fuckhead that seems to lack any rhythm, whatsoever.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last up that night was The Misfits. And they are…. still the Misfits (sans Danzig, of course). Old school punk that still makes old-school punk. I fucking loved being able to see them again, even though I feel so old now. Time for more piercings. Do they still sell Manic Panic?    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the end of the night, I was this sweaty, glitter-coated drunkard. It was great. The only bad part was when it came time to go. I’d had SOOO much to drink that I probably should have thrown up in the bathroom before hitting the street, but I didn’t. Instead, I told a friend that they had 10 minutes to get me out of Detroit or I’d either be throwing up in her car or on the side of the expressway…. And then I’d be passing out. Well, she didn’t make it. That’s right, it’s time for Sarah’s immature tales of drunkhood. I rolled down her window and threw up while she was doing 90 down 94. What a sight that guy behind us must have had. Luckily, I’d only eaten a small side-salad Friday and there was really nothing but alcohol for me to throw up. Then I passed out, waking up at 6 am the next morning, bruised and nauseous, with a hangover that I’m not really sure I’ve gotten over yet. After my brain recovers, I have to write about how the Democrats won America back from the terrorists. By terrorists, I mean the Bush Administration and all his wretched cronies.&lt;br /&gt;Peace.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116304841969984484?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116304841969984484'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116304841969984484'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/11/i-stood-in-line-behind-fat-man-last.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116250534763098135</id><published>2006-11-02T17:06:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-11-02T17:09:07.630-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/ffforblog.0.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/320/ffforblog.0.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alright, I couldn't get this linked to my Fiend Fest post so I'll try to post it here.&lt;br /&gt;xoxox&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116250534763098135?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116250534763098135'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116250534763098135'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/11/alright-i-couldnt-get-this-linked-to.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116250373149991694</id><published>2006-11-02T16:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-12-02T03:19:39.453-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;If We Don’t Risk Our Lives For Drugs &amp; Music, the Terrorists Have Won&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are times when it feels like I am regressing more and more into my youth. Sure, few people look forward to getting old, rusty and then dying painfully, but still, I think I have a more difficult time facing the loss of youth than most. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not ancient, and with plastic surgery in the forecast, I will never be old. Don’t write me bitching about the breakdown of cells, the inability to maintain elasticity, blah, blah, blah…. As long as I feel and look young, that’s enough for me. Plus, I won’t make it to ancient. I fully intend to float away at some point, albeit much later in life. Anyone that’s had a grandparent that’s been old and sickly should understand my reasons for that. As I told my father just last week, I really hope to be a beautiful corpse. As I’m still a kid in my head, I will continue with my childhood pursuits: Sex, Drugs, and Music; I’d have said rock &amp; roll but I’m not THAT old. Rock died with the onset of the Seattle-sound, grunge music in the 90’s. Sure, there are still some suckass cock-rock 80’s-type stragglers out there, but they’ll realize their sound will never be resurrected in the mainstream (or hell, any other world for that matter), eventually. &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, back to the main point of this post: I am going to the ’06 Fiend Fest. Wahoo! I’m taking a risk since it’s in a really shitty part of &lt;a href="http://www.morganquitno.com/cit07pop.htm#25"&gt;Detroit&lt;/a&gt;. I mean REALLY shitty. Last time I was there, 5 minutes after I left, there was a drive-by and a few people were shot on the sidewalk. Though I certainly don’t want to take a bullet, the way I see it, there are few things worth suffering for more than art. Any yes, fuckers, it IS art. Even if you aren’t into old-school punk, anyone that isn’t a small-minded assclown should be able to admit that. I mean, you know the guy in NY that flung shit all over an image of the “virgin” Mary? Well, that was art even though the religious zealots freaked right the fuck out. So if you write me, let’s not have it turn into a punk vs. classical argument or some such shit. It’s all opinion, anyway. But if you wish to email me, feel free. Keep in mind that while all 3 are debatable, I really enjoy anyone telling me how beautiful, smart and saucy I am. For that matter, if you want to tell me that I am a vapid (or crazy) cunt, I’ll enjoy that too. I seem to have gotten several more readers lately and if I continue getting input, I’ll add a comments thing. Also, for anyone that gets especially creative with their email to me, I’ll post it here. Good or bad.&lt;br /&gt;Now, back to the Fiend Fest. I am really geeked about going. These events are doubly fun as I will undoubtedly run into old friends and ex boyfriends. It’s always nice finding out who blew their brains out, ODed, ended up in the nuthouse, or going to prison. It’s a twisted family reunion of sorts. One with lots of drugs, tattoos, piercings, leather and angst. A friend contacted me wanting me to bring his girl with me so he can go out and shoot heroin all night without her knowing. Apparently his chick was cool until breeding, but then she decided that the only way to live is straight-edge (drug-free) and anyone that disagrees is shit. But she’ll eat at McDonalds. I mean, you’re dead if you  you’re some bubble gummer that can’t handle your drugs and you’re dead if your heart bursts from clogged arteries from shoving nastiness down your throat. I was thinking of telling him I’ll bring her IF he gives me a bunch of oxies. I can’t get drunk anyway because the last thing I want to be is fucked-up in Detroit, driving around, getting lost in a neighborhood that is full of a bunch of gangbangers.  If you make a wrong turn there, you might get shot for it. What a fucking cesspool. If it wasn’t for the occasional hockey game and &lt;a href="http://www.harposconcerttheatre.com/"&gt;Harpos&lt;/a&gt;, I’d rarely, if ever, go there.&lt;br /&gt;Well, the percodans have kicked -in and I think I’ve rambled enough.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116250373149991694?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116250373149991694'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116250373149991694'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/11/if-we-dont-risk-our-lives-for-drugs-id.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116226276229556459</id><published>2006-10-30T21:39:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-10-30T21:46:02.303-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;So I've decided to chock this weekend up to a whole lot of fun and leave it at that. I like having the guy that I'll run into at parties and have moments with. I could call him, but I won't. If he calls me, I'll blow him off(not sexually, fuckers). Everyone that knows me knows I'd kill the relationship anyway. I'd end up lying or worse, I'd be honest and then things would get really bad.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116226276229556459?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116226276229556459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116226276229556459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/so-ive-decided-to-chock-this-weekend.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116216515765273168</id><published>2006-10-29T18:35:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2006-10-29T18:39:17.653-05:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/mchalloween06.1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/320/mchalloween06.1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The headache is gone so I can listen to Korn again.

How do I describe a night like that? I just don’t know where to begin, so I’ll begin at the beginning. We show up to the party(ies) really late. On the way, Sexyback (by... ugh... Justin Timberlake) came on the radio and I found myself walking around the parties singing the lyrics to &lt;a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vo7Sng5Jeb0"&gt;Paxilback (The Gray Kid and Daniel Stessen, who are worthy of praise)&lt;/a&gt; most of the night. &lt;br /&gt;Party #1 was a blast, the people are all a bunch of tattooed freaks, deviants, weirdos and punks- not the common, neo-punk asshats that think punk means dirty and stupid. These people go all-out with their parties. There was a badass electric chair (it vibrated, but not QUITE enough) black lights, badass music, a giant hooka, and many, many hot people. Oh, and the best weed I’ve ever smoked. Truly.&lt;br /&gt;One guy- the pics are online so I am going to post a few here- made the BEST costume ever. He was an abortionist. He had scrubs splashed with red paint and there were a whole slew of tiny babies stuck all over the place. He should have won the costume contest, as far as I am concerned, but he didn’t qualify as host. He loved my breasts. Yeah. They became the topic of conversation several times throughout the night. I thought a wife was going to attack me.&lt;br /&gt;There was another guy (just happened to look like he could be brothers with an Aussie I once new) that I was lusting over, but I adored his gf. She was spunky and man, she was sexy as hell. I don’t think I’d have had a chance. With either of them. I admit defeat. Also, the gf could have kicked my ass.&lt;br /&gt;Last time I’d gone to one of these parties, I ended up hanging out with this guy Derek, who’s nestled into the Detroit area music (rap) scene. Well, he’s normally far from my type since I tend to prefer more punky sorts. I’m not sure why, but last year, I had a great night with him and then left without either of us handing over a phone number. Since then, he and I have been asking mutual friends, at different functions, if the other was supposed to show up… and then we’d miss each other. Well, last night, I started getting excited about  the possibility of seeing him again. And I get to party #1, and this guy that looks at me and goes, “Hey, Sarah! Your boy was just here, looking for you.” My boy, eh? Well, he COULD be, eventually. “Yeah, he went across to the other party.” So I say hellos and grab a drink and head over to the party across the street. When, after having to been to both parties, I couldn’t find him, I assumed he had left and parked my happy ass at party #1 and proceeded to get lit.  I was considering hooking up with this one guy when I looked up and locked eyes with Derek. I don’t know if it was the beers, the jello shots, or The Liquor Luge*, but he was suddenly just there and I don’t know how but we were instantly attached at the hip. Lip. Whatever. He wanted me to stay the night with him, but I declined, going against every natural urge of my body. Still, I went home at 5 am. He said, “You can’t forget my phone number. Don‘t forget it.” and guess what... Sarah forgot all about his phone number. Life is funny like that. Now I have to make an ass of myself and call people. Ah, well.&lt;br /&gt;So now I am recuperating from last night’s festivities. I woke up a little while ago, dyed my hair… ugh. It was supposed to be a dark brown but it’s black. Now, I’ll have to wear lipstick everywhere I go for it to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*The Liquor Luge is an alternative method to the standard in shot-taking. What you do is take a big tinfoil tray thing (think turkey dinner) and you fill it with water and freeze it. Then, you place it at an incline so the shots you pour over it run down to someone’s waiting mouth. The alcohol eats a path into the ice and blah, blah, blah, I’m sure you get the idea. My last “shot” was really about 4. Should I be proud? The guys were impressed. I almost threw up when they switched to Cuervo. Ugh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. If I had a decent grasp of HTML, I’d add that little thingy at the bottom of the post that shows the songs I’m listening to. I really have no clue. I am fully aware that if I start screwing with the coding, the whole blog is toast.

If things got any better, I'd be dead in a bathroom stall with a needle in my arm and some really nasty guy railing my still-warm corpse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sometimes, every single plan falls through. Last night was one of those times. It's almost as if there really is some big, cosmic skydaddy out there... and rather than tossing lightning bolts my way, he's hurling the negative, uncomfortable crap at me. I wanted to just enjoy, to feel but not dwell. I was expecting the E. Just E. No blow because I was worried about it's interaction with the opiates already in my veins. I just wanted to do a little rollin' with some friends, a nice, fun, stress-free night where I danced and touched everything that had beautiful dimensions. Maybe a lick here or there, but no stress.... did it work out that way? FUCK NO. &lt;br /&gt;I find it sad when something is left unexplored- A high. An emotion. Whatever. But since I SUCK at relationships (I have the morals of a turnip, it's been said), nothing more than "just fun" seems possible unless I want the stress, the guilt, whatever. BUT there are still very important lines that must be drawn. ABSOLUTE lines&lt;br /&gt;Like sex with non-hot friends. &lt;br /&gt;Now, I love my friends. I do. but when the evening goes from "hey, let's roll" to "Hey, we should really fuck Sarah" or worse, "I have loved you for 10 years," it's time to get the flinging, flanging fuck out of the situation. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Frankly, he's not smart enough and she's not hot enough. Good thing, too. I spent all day trying to get over a hangover and every person on the damn planet called to tell me about the sex they had last night. I even had a few stop over so that they could give me the extra-descriptive version... you know, the one with all the faces and hand gestures. Anyway, it seems that everyone but me got laid last night and not one person used a damn condom. Not one. Do we not remember the lessons of our 7th grade sex ed teachers? hmmm? Oh, and half the stories were about friends that had relationships going with someone other than the person they went to bed with. So now I can't mention Joe to Lisa, Bob to Sue, Kim to Dan, Eric to Sue (same one, yeah), etc. etc. Keeping other people's shit straight is just not entertaining. Know why? because I am going to get drunk one of these days and I will then say something that incriminates them. There will be yelling, maybe some hair-pulling, who knows? What I do know is that the hair-pulling will &lt;em&gt;not&lt;/em&gt; lead to sex with me because..... yep, no one used any condoms. Morons.&lt;br /&gt;Tonight is a whole new night, though. I'm going to this block party that I fluttered around last year and man, it's like trick-or-treating for adults. Every house, a different substance. Yay! Not that I'd normally classify myself as an adult, mind you. But apparently I am. mostly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;P.S. I might be going to see Bob Dylan on the 2nd. wahoo!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116206587228407752?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116206587228407752'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116206587228407752'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/happy-halloween-fuckers_28.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116192948656617604</id><published>2006-10-27T02:10:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-27T02:11:26.583-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;you know, you are free to change your mind at any time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116192948656617604?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116192948656617604'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116192948656617604'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/you-know-you-are-free-to-change-your.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116190581471100035</id><published>2006-10-26T19:28:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-26T19:39:10.553-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;Ever have a moment where you're like "FUCK!

Yep. sounds good, eh? Whatever I have written, be it for college or something online, whatever.. the only huge responses come from, "this time when I dropped all this acid" or "That time we got wasted and I fucked the crazy-hot guy in the closet at that massive UofM party." and everyone lives vicariously through Sarah's crazy exploits. I suppose I am okay with that. Realistically, even though things are changing and non-lameasses (dorks, prudes, churchies, etc) are hanging out online and blogging their fucked-up experiences, the majority of you e-people have never had sex in any lovely, deviant-like positions, you have never dropped acid and smashed out the car windows of the bitch who is fucking your ex... you know, normal, everyday, all-american activities that could land a girlie like me in jail or rehab, if not for my exceptional breasts and the family member that works for the police department. Shhhh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So after that epiphany, I just so happened to discover.... insert drumroll here.....well, it's just a quote. BUT it's a damn good one. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freud, you know, the father of modern psychology (horrifying thought, him being such a large part of the world of psychology, since the dude had some &lt;em&gt;really&lt;/em&gt; serious issues) said this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A patient that is depressed or fatigued will almost certainly feel better with a liberal supply of cocaine."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You know, I agree. The man did manage to get something right. I know that when I'm down or tired, a nice, thick rail always perks me up. mmmm mmmm good. Now, everyone that's everyone knows that opiates hit the spot, but blow will suffice. Oh yes, it will suffice. Anyway, I'm out to find me some pills to wash down with my WILD CHERRY DIET PEPSI. Good stuff. The diet pepsi and the pills. Maybe I should just find me some E and make a night of it. But given my current mood, that's not likely a good idea. Yeah, I'll stick to the opiates.&lt;br /&gt;Peace. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116189461749248155?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116189461749248155'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116189461749248155'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/what-to-write-aboot-ive-come-to.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116178323700828671</id><published>2006-10-25T09:32:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-25T09:33:57.020-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;So I am wanting a new job at a local hospital. &lt;br /&gt;Scrubs make everyone’s ass look cute and there’s easy access to meds. &lt;br /&gt;I’m joking. &lt;br /&gt;Scrubs make MY ass look cute, not yours. &lt;br /&gt;So I was told to go to human resources in a building nowhere near the hospital to fill out papers. I was told specifically to bring 5 copies of my resume and to be prepared for all sorts of testing (not blood, hair or urine. Whew!) SO, I show up at human resources with my multiple copies of my resume- that have been fluffed to perfection (I should be in porn)- and (See how I just toss commas and quotes and brackets and shit into my writing? Amen for editing, bitches.) when I get there, this bitch (probably the one that told me to come down to human resources with 5 copies of my resume) stares at me for like a full minute before telling me that they no longer take resumes in person… everyfuckingthing is done online. Nay, I do not leap across the counter and choke the bitch who dashed my hopes upon the crack rocks. Instead,  I take my 5 copies of my resume, come back to my motherfucking house and fill out like 47 pages of online bullshit in hopes of finding the fantastic job with all the perks(drugs). I was told to wait a week and then call humanmotherfuckingresources. So I call them and they say that one line didn’t post in the e-bullshit and that I need to fill it all out again. I asked if I could just please, for fuck’s sake, take them my 5 fucking copies of my perfectly-polished resume and she said no, they no longer do anything in the human resources department that has anything to do with motherfucking resumes and that I have to fill out all 47 fucking pages AGAIN before they’ll hire me. Wahoo. And then I have to go in a different day for testing.. but not blood, hair or urine testing. Whew. &lt;br /&gt;I just want the drugs, people. &lt;br /&gt;MUST they make it that fucking difficult? &lt;br /&gt;I mean, I just want to help people. &lt;br /&gt;That’s all I want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That and my friend with the vicodin to hurry the fuck over here and give me some.&lt;br /&gt;xoxox&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116178323700828671?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116178323700828671'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116178323700828671'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/so-i-am-wanting-new-job-at-local.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-116080935434795728</id><published>2006-10-14T02:37:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-14T03:02:34.356-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I've been trying to come up with things to say that wouldn't freak out my family whenever they stumble onto this blog, but I can't seem to come up with much. You see, I was stupid and gave a few people my email address and they put my name on a damn group-mailing and now, at least one will be heading here. That's why everything is erased. I don't want my dad to read the things I've said in the past. that might be bad. and also, I've put too much about other people out there. here. whatever. Things about the ex could come back to haunt me.  Anyway, I just sent another story to mace at &lt;a href="http://www.terriblywrongonline.com/"&gt;Terribly Wrong&lt;/a&gt; and it's funny. Thanks for the editing help. you are appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;The one person I know who won't find her way here is my mother. Yesterday, she had me planting flowers for her during a damn blizzard. a blizzard. The first snowfall of the year. I wish she'd be able to see them bloom, whatever the hell kind of flowers they are.    &lt;br /&gt;P.S.&lt;br /&gt;Dad, it's all lies. I have never, never so much as smoked a joint. I am an angel and I just may vote republican in the next election. haha yeah, I know. Just keep me in the damn will, ok?&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-116080935434795728?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116080935434795728'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/116080935434795728'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/ive-been-trying-to-come-up-with-things.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-115995989756524691</id><published>2006-10-04T06:51:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-04T07:04:57.656-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I wasn't in the proper mental state to blog the other day, apparently. ha. I guess I'm rarely in the proper mental state. anyway, my aunt died, my family is crazy, I can't stand Ann Taylor. I was looking for clothes with my cousin and wanted to choke this cute little asian girl. I'm sorry, but like said asian girl, Ann Taylor must not have breasts, whatsoever. So I went to the damn viewing all casual-like. For the funeral I'm getting.... a POWERSUIT. wahoo. maybe a cami for underneath, 4" heels. I'll find out. Who the hell cares about this kind of thing? well, my family  turns most every event into a fashion show. We pop pills and dress schwank. fanfuckingtastic. I have a lot to write about but don't have the time so I'm done for the day's blog. &lt;br /&gt;word to your mothers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-115995989756524691?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/115995989756524691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/115995989756524691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-wasnt-in-proper-mental-state-to-blog.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-115971912056167821</id><published>2006-10-01T11:53:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-01T12:50:17.360-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;strong&gt;I love my mom&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We're going to say this is a hypothetical. Yep, that's what'll be said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My aunt died 2 days ago. She had cancer that matastasized(sp?), crushing a lung completely and spread into her pulmonary artery. She also had some tumors you could feel, just under the skin surface of her abdomen. There were also 9 tumors in her brain. It was a mess. &lt;br /&gt;I was there for the family and my help and support were appreciated, that's what matters the most to me. That and the fact that now I have seen death. I've seen dying people. I've seen dead people, but I've never really witnessed the transformation until now. I thought that given my own mother's terminal condition, I should stay and watch and learn, and hopefully help prepare myself for what'll be happening to mom soon. &lt;br /&gt;You see, I hate my family. They're mean, so fucking manipulative and greedy as shit. The only time we come together is when someone's dying. We actually bring cameras to funeral so we can get pictures of each other. &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I sat at the hospital, watching the plastic vultures drooling, listening to my dying aunt moaning and moaning in pain, non-stop for days. I also got to listen to an alzheimer's patient screaming "Hey! Let's go!" at the strangest points during my family conversations(each time, I thought of the ramones). My cousin, auntie's only daughter, was losing her mind so I volunteered to stay the night so she could go to the hotel and sleep and shower. &lt;br /&gt;During one of the nights I spent in her room, my aunt woke up. She had a moment of clarity and looked at me, right in the eye, told me she loved me and then said not to let her go. Now, I just don't know what she meant. "Don't let me go" has unnerved me since she said it. &lt;br /&gt;Anyway, this is the point of my writing today: this is what my strange, strange, mother did that almost got her not only banned from her dying sister's room, it nearly got her arrested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of my plastic cousins works for the hospital. It was she that first took note of my mother, standing over her sister, my dying aunt, pulling the breather bag from her face.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"What are you doing, Aunt Brenda?"&lt;br /&gt;(You couldn't miss the craziness in my mother's eyes,or the grotesque snarl which revealed that she'd neglected to "put in her teeth.") &lt;br /&gt;"You know exactly what I'm doing!"&lt;br /&gt;"Put the damn mask back on. Look at her vitals."&lt;br /&gt;"I'm well aware of her vital signs."&lt;br /&gt;"Then you can see that they're going down. That'll kill her. You can't do that." &lt;br /&gt;My mother, my tiny, sickly, insane mother responded by yelling, "Don't tell me what I can't do!" and pulled the breather bag even farther away.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stats dropped rapidly, alarms went off, it was quite a fantastical, slo-motion kinda moment. The nurses flew into the room, likely expecting to reconnect a hose, reattach a sensor or something, then their mouths fell open and eyes widened in horror when they saw my mother hovering over her sister's unconscious form, taking from her the one thing sustaining her life.&lt;br /&gt;They didn't arrest her, but because of the "suituation", no longer allowed my mom in the room without proper supervision. &lt;br /&gt;Man, it was fucking priceless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On another note, I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety. That's right, folks! I've officially joined the ranks of nut-jobs world-wide. Tomorrow I'm getting colonipin? I don't know how it's spelled, but I was given some and wowee. me likey.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also, I have been contacted by someone that has created a server, and wants contributors to some of the branches available via his homepage. ? I can't describe comp-things well, obviously. Anyway, he'll pay writers, photographers, artists (Ford, I suggested you when he said he'd like a weekly political cartoon), and oodles of other contributors. Anyway, he's helping me get my novel published and he's giving me a motherfucking job. I'm still going to school, just in case, but some really good shit happened to me over the last few days (aside from death and being diagnosed as a crazy) that'll I'll be blogging about soon. Not that anyone's reading this anymore. I linked it back to my yahoo profile so that should change. Anyway, I'm happy. Fucking geeked, actually. That and crazy. wahoo.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-115971912056167821?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/115971912056167821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/115971912056167821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/10/i-love-my-mom-were-going-to-say-this.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-115948131398169916</id><published>2006-09-28T17:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-28T18:08:35.756-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>I've managed to attach my pic. yay me. Fixing this up will be slow going, if I do it at all. I just wanted a place to vent again. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;While I can't imagine giving up all my vices, I am officially a non-smoker. That's right. No more sucking on a cancerous teat. I'm trying to get my life together. I'm actually doing an ok job of it right now. I have realistic expectations. attainable goals. a great job in the works and going back to school. FREE SCHOOL. I'm geeked. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I've been at the hospital a lot. a LOT. Oddly enough, it's not for my mother but for my aunt. It's all been a strange experience, watching the plastic vultures popping out of the woodworks, and sad at times, but I'm glad I've been there. I've never actually say watching someone die. Not like this. The last thing she said to me that I could understand was, "Don't let me go." I'm kinda dwelling on that. Some family members want her OD'ed and I really think (based on past experiences) that given the opportunity, they'd make sure it happened. I'll be heading back in a few hours but I need to sleep before driving back for the deathwatch. Oh, one last thing: Death starts at your feet. I necver knew that. It's called modeling. Look it up. it moves slowly up from your feet and usually, when it gets to your knees, your heart stops. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll post about the amazingly beautiful almost dead guy and the other completely dead guy later.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/35200734-115948131398169916?l=microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/115948131398169916'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35200734/posts/default/115948131398169916'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://microdotinthemacrocosm.blogspot.com/2006/09/ive-managed-to-attach-my-pic.html' title=''/><author><name>sarah</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01656961946799312082</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='24' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35200734.post-115947626300059389</id><published>2006-09-28T16:43:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-26T16:42:32.930-04:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/1600/eh.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/1904/159/320/eh.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Alright, I deleted everything because too many people know who I am in this e-world and too many real-world people are reading things I'd rather they didn't.
