time for some reflection. thank you, readers, for taking time out of your day to catch up on what's going on in my menial life filled with bordering-on-neurotic contemplations about this strange world around us.
- goodbye, summer. you were filled with questions-- mostly unanswerable, at no fault of your own-- and now the rest of the year seems like a slow descent into chilly hibernation and gloom.
- my best friend's niece opened a facebook account and wants to be friends. she's 11. while i enjoy social networking in all its oversharing glory, i am scared for the generation of children who will grow up looking at pictures of themselves on the internet and researching potential boyfriends on twitter and never really understand anonymity. some things are meant to stay private; i don't know if an 11-year-old girl can distinguish between what's an appropriate status update and what crosses the line. i love her; but i denied her request.
- i registered for barber to boise! 24 days! to be honest, i am motivated by 2 things: 1) PANCAKE BREAKFAST WITH COOKIES!!!!!!!!!! and 2) free shirt.
- i need my friends and family in ways i'm not even consciously aware of, but some restless urge inside me begs for a change: moving. where to-- undecided. how far-- negotiable.
- the gym routine is starting to bore me. cardio. lift weights. sweat sweat sweat sweat. sometimes i resent being a girl-- i would love to get my exercise by riding my bike or jogging, but i can't go alone (and since i'm pretty much a loner, i have no one to go with me). so i'm signing up for a community education class that mixes kickboxing and "modern dance moves"-- which brings me closer and closer to being a true "glee" star-- to break up my workout routine a little bit. i feel sort of guilty for spending more money on fitness-- like, doesn't gold's gym take enough of my limited funds?-- but, as a pharmacist i used to work with once said, i should never feel bad about splurging on activities that make me a better person.
- kurt vonnegut's "player piano" has been on my nightstand for weeks now, just 2 chapters read. what's wrong with me? i used to love reading. did my education really leech all literary desires from my personality? maybe it will come back. or perhaps i need a new genre/author/etc to get me interested again. recommendations welcome.
- halloween is approaching quickly: i've decided to be a cowgirl! although today, amy decided not to throw a halloween party, so my costume idea may change based on the party venue. my co-workers think my potential costume is missing an essential girl element: the slut factor. to be continued.
how are you, reader? share with me.
