life is bricks sometimes and i need a break. i'm caught up in some things and not looking forward to others and for some reason i can't really get to myself during a run. 12 miles later today, maybe some cool air and night breezes will refresh the soul. its hard to trade individuality for togetherness, for a whole month at least.
maybe we'll look back and say, 'i wish i had lived and not slept as much' or 'not chilled as much' or 'not spent so much time daydreaming and relaxing' but maybe we'll also say, 'i'm glad i learned how to keep my sanity.' i'm not losing my sanity, i just need a day-break.
or maybe i just need the weekend. that usually suffices to a certain extent.
yeah justin, guys are bricks, and yes, there are definitely rad, not dumb, not get-to-bed girls who love the Lord and are biding their time to meet people like you. move to texas and meet them.
making resumes for a career fair next year - we'll see what happens, but there's a good possibility that i'll be around here next year. lots of aerospace corps, and a strong job market. i don't mind that too much, maybe moving to virginia or something, becuase i'm tired of Prince George's county (read: most crime in the state). and university life, though glamorously chill, is not what i picture myself living next year.
i don't really want to pack up and leave already. i just did that.
now that ivan's gone, the weather is surprisingly ohio-october-like and that's unbeatable. the runs have been great - i actually pulled a 20-miler the other day, in 2:45, my longest ever. holy cow. i couldn't walk up stairs for the rest of the day. jenna graciously waited on me while i laid around for the rest of the day, so to treat her i watched 'you've got mail' with her. i say that is a treat because it's her favorite movie of all time (yes, all time) and i'm not so much the romantic comedy type (other than 'love actually') and so i thought it would be fun to watch and not put up a fight to watch something instead. so she made the chips & salsa, the popcorn, put the movie in, and like *that* she's asleep.
of course i was really into the movie and watched the whole thing at rigid attention. go figure.
what gets me about romantic comedies though is they're always about the chase. show me some of the relationship sometime! that's why i think 'love actually' was such a good movie because it was kinda-romantic comedy ish but really it wasn't at all.
go astros, i'd rather not see the cubs make it again after last year. they're just not as good, and i'm bored with having sympathy for them. you know what's a good show though? 'who's curse is worse?' on espn. red sox vs. cubs. i choose...cubs. because they usually don't even finish in the top half of the division. its hard to care after lots of 4th and 5th place finishes.
i watched that show in adams morgan with jenna and laura, where you can get a slice of pizza for $4 that's so big it needs three plates to carry it. i'm not so hip to the NY style pizza (chicago all the way) but MAN it hits the spot at 1am so good.
