Start Shouting

I love how all I’ve had to eat today is a large cup of blueberry coffee and some gummi worms.

Mm..so, so healthy.

I read a lot of blogs. Most of the authors are quite a bit older than I am. 

I like that. I used to think that when you got to a certain point in your life, you just suddenly GREW UP. You had life, love, and taxes all figured out.

But reading these blogs? Has taught me that people definitely DO NOT have their lives figured out. Sometimes, it’s quite the opposite. They’re learning new things about themselves everyday. So am I. Everyone is.

I never want to stop learning about myself.

Place: Kitchen table

Eating/Drinking: Nothing

Music: Matt Nathanson

Feeling: Uncomfortably numb

I have to wait a year now before I go to London. I was supposed to be leaving in August. This is extremely depressing and also means I am stuck here for another 12 months. If I ever gain some objective perspective, I’ll be able to realize that it’s not that bad. But for now, it feels like a death sentence. I don’t feel like I have much left here.

Ummm…..now what?

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles.”

-Jack Kerouac 

Back to the daily grind

Today is my first full day back at school. Classes do not start until tomorrow, so I have some time to myself before the madness starts up again. Also, my roommate seems to have disappeared since I got back, which is a nice change. 

I plan on spending the day in my pajamas, watching as many episodes of Lost as I can get through. I’ve been meaning to start watching it for awhile now, and today seems like a good day to spend laying in bed under the covers watching tv.

I was not placed on the schedule at work this week, which I am going to consider a good thing. I can get settled into a nice little routine first.

Which reminds me, I need to figure out where I’m signing up for yoga classes before everywhere in town gets filled up.

Moms & Facebook

I always thought it would be weird if my mom got a Facebook. Not just because she would be able to see all my social habits readily available to her without my knowledge or approval, but because I thought it would be the ultimate embarrassment for me on my precious interweb. 

But after showing her around the site today, I realized it would probably be pretty entertaining if my mom created a profile of her own. 

Things my mother would include on her Facebook:
-Pictures of Kyle, her beloved chocolate lab
-Pictures of deer
-Pictures of flowers and vegetables that grow in her garden 
-Probably not many pictures of herself, unless they were with family
-Poems that she wrote
-Prayers she found inspiring 

And knowing my mom, each of these posts would be innocent, brilliant, and very enjoyable. 

I kind of hope she friends me soon.
