my life has become slightly more regimented...thank goodness. I accomplish things much better when they are written in a list that is in front of me at all times, and I'm slowly coming to know how Earl feels once a task has been crossed off.
of course it's still a mess...my life I mean. or at least what I surround myself with. my room smells oddly of pumpkin and peanut butter, which weirds me out because i had a PB&J bagel for lunch today, and I can't decide whether or not the smell is going to hinder my craving of anything peanut buttery for the next few days. my car is not my own; it's finally getting rid of dents thanks to the accident that occured just a few days before christmas. instead I'm driving murf (my mom's car), which makes me feel like I'm in an aquarium. the "TECH MOM" sticker on the back makes me want to attach a flashing billboard, letting all onlookers know that I'm not a mom, except to a new goldfish who has finally decided that there is more to life than stressing out on the bottom of the bowl and that eating is a great idea.
reasons I like Ruston:
- friends. I make more every day, and am, unfortunately, losing most of them to their graduation in May. there are quite a few others I've lost along the way, and am hoping to eventually gain them back before I leave for good...whenever that is. they occupy most of my time these days, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
- roads. no matter where you drive in this town, it's impossible to get lost. exploring them is one of the many ways I love to spend my time.
- lack of entertainment. as much as it sucks to have to drive 30 minutes to do any kind of "important", I love sharing the moments with other people while, usually they, decide what to do with our spare time.
this will always be one of my favorite days.
so this was written, partially in my head and partially on paper, last week sometime…around Tuesday. life has changed a lot since then, but I figured a late post is better than none at all. so here goes.
“all my bags are packed, I’m ready to go…”
that’s right…my bags are still
packed. I’m honestly afraid to unpack them in fear of finding things I
don’t really want to see…like how many items of clothing I own, but can’t really
fit into or don’t really wear until I’m out of laundry—really just the amount of
things in my life that need to be sorted through in the near future. the
clothes are clean, at least, but from the looks of my room, one would guess
otherwise.
after lots of working and several sporadic trips to
Benton, Baton Rouge, and the Mandeville/Covington/New Orleans area, I’m about
driven out, and for the first time, I wasn’t ready for break to be over.
some things I rediscovered and some I learned while I was on the
road…
· I’ll never be too old to enjoy a
fort.
· shopping is direly unsuccessful when
one feels/appears to be 40 years old and stomping through a mid life
crisis.
· “simple” is my favorite way of
life.
· my sense of direction is
impeccable.
· straying from the familiar is
completely worth it. sticking to your guns is too.
**right now, I’m watching Scream 3. it’s quite incredible…and by incredible I mean incredibly terrible. I’d sadly forgotten how many people die in these movies and how lame the characters are that the writers have chosen to keep alive. I’d also forgotten that this series came out just as Courtney Cox and David Arquette became an item, Patrick Dempsey is in this movie, and I haven’t seen Neve Campbell since this movie.
do you ever have a night where the only company you want is your own?
tonight is one of those nights.
