Stressin' like a Dessen (heroine)...

...that did kind of make sense.

Everyone older than me must think that I'm worrying about such trivial things. I know I will think that in a few years. I mean, how much of this will matter in ten years?

But I can't let it go because I don't have that kind of perspective yet. There are lessons that people have to learn by experience. I just have to make sure I enjoy life in between stressfests, because they'll happen no matter how trivial they may seem later.

Books Books Books

I don't know why it never occurred to me, but there is a real live bookstore just two minutes away from my residence. My 10-to-18-year-old self would be insanely jealous of me right now. I don't know why I don't camp out there more often.

The Duh Moment

I can't believe it took me four and a half years to liberate the back pockets on my patchwork shorts.
It's not like I didn't know they were there.
It's not like I didn't know they were sewn shut.
It just never occurred to me to snip through the stitches.

Climb On!

I reached the top of a climbing wall today!!
(Is it sad that it was the easiest one, I cheated on footholds, and it was like my 10th try?)(don't answer that.)(but yes, it is kind of sad.)
But still!

Cesar Franck on Mad Men

Spotted (aurally): Cesar Franck's Sonata for Violin and Piano in A, Mvt. IV in Mad Men Season 2 Episode 1 ("For Those Who Think Young"), at 20:15

Also, elevator operators have the dumbest job in the world. Who needs someone to press the elevator button for you? It's not even particularly high.

Movie GIFs

“Looks like me an Vincent caught you boys at breakfast. Sorry about that. Whatcha havin’?”

More movie GIFs here. Good stuff.

Over-blabber

When I talk, baby kittens die. Best not talk at all.

Also: newest blog obsession is The Blonde Salad. Amazing style.

Silence

You can turn off your computer, you can move to a blank room, you can put on headphones, but you can never silence that nagging voice in your head.

Reflexions

I know I'm not a nice person. I wish I was, and I used to be years ago, but I'm not anymore. I keep saying mean things that I see coming a mile away and it's like I can't stop them from spewing out. It's like watching a glass of water tip over in slow motion, knowing what's going to happen, and not doing anything to stop it. And then the water splashes everywhere, and I just wipe it halfheartedly and wait for it to evaporate.
