A large part of my life right now is spent thinking about what I need to do and then possibly doing it..IN AN AVERAGE DAY i get really excited about a few simple things: what snacks i brought to school, using a good pen, email from friends( and not from international businessmen needing to unload some cash under my name), using a good moisturizer, a snappy mix on the Ipod, a good hair day, a deep stretch, comfortable pants, and going to bed. ON AN EXTRA-ORDINARY DAY i really groove on a decent episode of prime-time TV, tasty Oriental delivery food, good coffee, naps, a scrumptious beer, and dessert. IF WE'RE TALKING IDEAL it probably means someone found something after I lost it, I got to sleep in, I got a package in the mail, i got praised in class, i got to praise in class, the apartment is clean, I have a new flattering outfit, more money in my bank account than I thought, or i'm proud of my haircut.I'm interested in hope, dreams, reality, finding cute shoes, cooking, and perfect bowel movements.I also dig swimming, directing, crafting, performing, and historic torture techniques.
Good listeners, people that challenge me, those who will let me in...I don't believe in meeting heros, idols, or celebrities. I just know those first meeting conversations would be both awkward and disappointing...because I don't do small talk, and I don't believe in the majesty of famous people. I mean, everybody poops, right?
