What today should be about-- My quarterlife crisis on an otherwise beautiful windy day.
Though I was channeling the past couple of days of frustration and anger.. today was good. I talked to one of my oldest best friends Kyana.. Miss her. It was good to talk to her and make these fun plans for the summer for a possible trip to Shreveport then to New York-- her aunt who's in daytime tv-- lives there...I hope I can go. I need a little change from the mundane life I currently lead-- not that this is reflected in anyone here in Cali-- I think I'm in that strange quarter-life crisis...So as I was talking to Kyana and waiting in line at the bank forever-- I started realizing how people are moving forward with their lives while i seem unbearably stagnant.. ok not just that realization of i have a degree and i'm doing absolutely nothing with it.. it's that i have a degree and i'm realizing maybe it's not what i want at all.. i don't know that i want stability or career-- ok that's crazy right everyone dreams of the house and ergh dare i say white pickett fence 2.3 kids and a dog named Walrus-- wally for short right? that's want i should want but i don't..- i don't know what the hell i want... but i don't want this... don't get me wrong.. living rent free with the parentals is a blessing especially with the way things are-- but i'm wondering if i'm just settling and that this comfort is what's keeping me from challenging myself in so many ways.. i want to be reckless and go.. itchy feet.. well the clarity and reality of the debt hanging over my head-- pauses me in my tracks.. but i'm still on the track unfortunately there's a giant life train about to not knock my on my ass-- and i wish it would. i've always thrive underpressure--a procrastinator's best friend if you will hell if i didn't slack thru college and do everything-- well most everything last minute i might have been even more strung out that the usual me.. and somewhat mediocre... but now that's over.. so what do i do.. career opps that have been always in the back of my head but i feel little to no experience in-- author-- don't think i'm some budding steinbeck, salinger,or even contemporaries-grisham, piper, harris,elliot-- no in my head i'm a poe/barrett browning/rand/sexton-- but i'm far to critical to show my poetry--it's crap. but a girl can dream.. ok aside from the glamour of starving artistdom.. i've also been toying with the ever friendly postal worker-- heck cute shorts and exercise everyday-- ocassional dog bites but that's ok. then there's the dangerous dream-- hockey player--but with the newly re-modeled grill i don't think so..jk really i was re-visiting the cop idea-upholding the law and all sounds so exciting, no. really i just want to wield a gun and night club...we'll we will see. i think i'm not meant to have conventional means of living but for the time being practicality is a must.. check back in a year to see if i have an interesting job update.. i better or said persons reading this entry can hit dump a bucket of water on me.

adam is amused by my dot dot dotting constantly and my terminology of hit dump.. i meant only dump but if you can pull off a hit dump of water.. more power to you
You could totally rock those postal shorts. But really...I know how you feel and I'm praying for you. It's not always easy to sit still but the Lord might just be needing you to rest up a little before He gives you something huge and exciting. You never know.... But He does!!
Go with the hockey idea.. I like that one. God your voicemail! I'll call soon! :) xoxoxo
