    Consequences
    Well, I tried to fix it, and kinda did. She's not even mad. He, on the other hand, has forgiven me, but now things are weird and kinda painful. I have this issue about being such a control freak. I hate to show any kind of chink in my armor, and at this point not only is it cracked, but peeled open like a can of beans. I haven't eaten in about 48 hours, but the idea of food is pretty gross right now. I'm just have to take the time to feel like a bastard, and wait to forgive myself.

    I can't tell you how excited I am that there's a Huey Lewis tribute album coming out! Check out the details here:

    The "If This Is It?" cover is very Postal Service if you ask me, yet still very good. Here's an article on that particular song with linkage to download the song:

    More Tidbits
    Went to the hospital, but they couldn't see me. Stupid Japanese doctors. Leg hurts. Brain hurts. Heart hurts. I am trapped in a vicious cycle of my own jealousy, rage, ambivalence and desperate need for other people's approval. I want to go home and I never want to leave. I want to fix what I broke, and I don't know how. I think I may have pulled the most important brick out from I wall I thought was strong, and now I am simply waiting for a breeze, possibly my own sigh of regret, to come and destroy everything I've built. I'm so tired of always having two faces, of always having the Maggie that others see and the Maggie that lives in my head. Of always being aware of and obsessed with how I portray myself to others. Of being blunt and opinionated and having a strong personality on the outside, but never actually letting anyone see me at all. I hate that some of my real thoughts slipped out at an inopportune time, a time that caused hurt to multiple people. But mostly, honestly, I hate to admit that although I massively regret what I said, the little jealousy demon in me enjoyed it just a little bit. What kind of person am I?

    Je suis le idiot..
    Wow. Fourth of July was... crazy. CRAZY. Lots of drinking, quite a bit of naked, and a lot of people jumping in lakes. There was some kissing, some anger, some jealousy, and in the end, I sprained both my ankle and knee and have to go to the doctor. More news when I get back from there.

    Imogen Heap
    Okay, so, Craig just got me completely hooked on Imogen Heap, especially the song Hide and Seek. I can't seem to post videos on LJ from Japan, so I'm just putting in the URL, but please please watch, it's amazing. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=5cpSv2mNhhc
    Wow.

    Harpo Marx explaining how to throw a Gookie. I love the Marx brothers something fierce, so hearing about Harpo's trademark expression really made my day.

    Feeling not happy. I know I'm kinda PMSing, but being here in Japan has been, as I noted in many posts before, a major blow to my ego. I have never felt so fat, so ugly, and so irritating as I do right now. I just have to wonder if everyone I know just puts up with me rather than actually liking me. And while I know that's not really true, I do think that I have become the overly sarcastic angry fat girl that's funny enough to be allowed into the circle, but that no one would ever find attractive in the least. Not a fun feeling. Ugh.

    Well shit.
    I just found out that George Carlin passed away. I really loved that guy like a grandfather. I think he was like the grandfather most of us wanted, really. I for one will miss him plenty. First and last of a dying breed, I dare say.
