so i am settling into a firm existence of no alarms and no surprises these days.
danny and i moved in together last week. the boxes are emptied. the closet is organized, and tonight when i get off of work, i expect that he will have most likely made dinner for me which we will eat at our diningroom table, with our plates and silverware, in our place.
it is still all too intimidating for me to sit and ponder all the trappings i have decorated myself with, and how it doesn’t really scare me that much.
and i start my senior year of college thursday. when i was a kid i used to think of time in terms of landmarks.
i would get my drivers license in 2002.
i would graduate from high school in 2004.
i would go to college.
i would turn 21 in 2007.
i would graduate from college in 2008.
after that, my amatuer lifeplan was left bare, as 2008 seemed a millenia away. yet here i sit, inching towards the end of all i had planned, and on the threshhold of adulthood. all it seems i have learned in this life is how to make people see me in one light or another.

that’s a useful skill–making people see you a certain way. Is that a field of study at troy?
if the going gets rough, you can always sell some of your ova. Tens of thousands of dollars to be made. I think you can also sell a lung, kidney, or any doubled organ for extreme cash in Korea.
You should play more sudoku, but in a different numeral system and asian charcters.

i would sell my eggs, but they take all of them when they do it, and i plan on procreating one day because i feel it is my duty as an american to raise an army of highly intelligent aryan children with no set belief system.

i like to handle the potential problem of not having a plan for the future by setting impossible goals. that way, you always have a “plan” for the future and you can spend the present lamenting the fact that you’ll never get there. it’s rich in flavor, but now with low self-esteem!

that sounds like a fabulous and delicious idea. i think i started already by taking a creative writing class. who am i kidding?
August 16th, 2007 at 6:27 PM
yeah, seriously. who ‘are’ you kidding?
August 16th, 2007 at 6:41 PM
i don’t know but i have a story due in the near future, and i don’t even know where to begin. there are too many things to write about. i give up.

I like your list. I don’t think I ever had one, I was just waiting.
