This Weekend

I needed today to recover.

"Best Labor Day Ever"

It was great because we all believed it.


So. Exhausted.

Forgetting is so Long

Pablo Neruda always wrote in green ink as it was his personal color of hope.

I got really frustrated because I couldn't get the orange bottle cap to stand upright.  It just kept falling over, which made me more determined.  And VT gave me all these grown up pearls of knowledge.  After my freak-out the other day I put all these in my pocket to be taken out again at a later time.  "I'll stop with the old-manisms," he got self-conscious.  I wish I could have articulated how important these words were for me to hear.

23 Signs You're Secretly An Introvert

"Ever feel like an outsider in the middle of social gatherings and group activities, even with people you know?"

Don't I know it.

Trying to fight the funk really hard.  Hasn't reared it's head for a while now, but gee almighty ... I should probably be riding my bike a lot more.

Slow Burn

My best friend in the whole wide world just moved practically a light year away.  I don't think it's quite set in how crummy this is going to feel.  In response, I decided to make this the best winter of all time, which is a huge change from OHGODHOWWILLIMAKEITTHOURGHANOTHERWINTER.

So we will see how it goes.

I'm no fucking Buddhist

You can't say no to happiness.

I'm getting older.


EDIT:
This is a draft blog entry from April 18, 2010.  I wonder what I was thinking about almost four years ago?

I am the river, not the dam.

Everything is such a flurry here these days.  The time has flown so quickly I didn't take time to really consider what my life will be like with three of my besties disappearing from my daily life.  Work change, life change, social change. It's all a little overwhelming.  Good, I believe.  I'm allowing myself to flow freely with the rivers of change, for once, instead of incessant resistance.

Cautiously optimistic.

Will get back to reality shortly ...

I need to get on a normal sleep schedule.  Ha ha.  Graduated life is too good.
