trying to make the world a better place in my own small way (recycling, driving as little as possible, not buying stuff that i don't need...except for books, i can't not buy them), missing my friends in california, playing wheel of fortune with karrah, being in love with my neighborhood, unavailable boys, staring out the window, genmai-cha tea, laughing so hard i fall off the couch, dancing in my kitchen, being obsessed with the fake fish on my screen saver, learning to play pool, going to the library, vivace and victrola, getting mad when people criticize my driving, pretending that i want to learn how to cook, making lists, very bad kung fu movies, cookie baking, decorating my bathroom...also known as "the pink nightmare", nerve.com, plastic sushi, trying to keep my plants alive, greta garbo, argyle socks, william shakespeare, overusing the ellipsis like you wouldn't believe...
Life is occupied in both perpetuating itself and in surpassing itself; if all it does is maintain itself, then living is only not dying.
-Simone de Beauvoir
