On Repeat

The definition of success -
Learning how to define one's own happiness--
-The worth of time, of money

A professor of mine once said, in regards to art making, "You learn to live with the ambiguity". I think this is, however, applicable to all of life. At an old 23 and a young 25, we are sifting through our idealism, our wishes and wants, but much more importantly, our needs. We can cherry pick houses with porches and idealize unknown golden careers, wish for station wagons - really those are just minute details to make the future seem concrete, safe even. The road to self fulfillment however, is rarely safe and generally unpaved. And now - this recently graduated limbo, this time of penance for past and present laziness - might be tomorrow, but is not the future.

Spring-ish

We have been walking and biking a lot. I like this. The weather has been wonderful lately, although it being so warm so early probably means we shall pay for it come July and August.

Time goes so quickly these days.

Last February

A year ago, I went out to dinner with a person that I unexpectedly fell in love with. In a year, I have spent a majority of my waking time with this person or talking to this person or thinking of this person and three fourths of my unwaking time dreaming next to him. I owe the universe big, I really do.

This Was New Year's Eve:

This Was Chrismas:

Ridiculous.

And Eleven

Oh dang! A new year! And yours truly saddled with a case of the sickies. Who gets the flu, I mean really? Someone who works at a grocery store, I suppose, that's who. R. is conked out on the couch and Arthur is in such a deep kitty slumber that his furry little tail is hanging straight off the chair he's sleeping on. Besides working practically full time, 2011 has been a year of already new things such as: locking my keys in my car! Seriously, first time ever, pretty funny (not too shabby after 8 years of driving), catching a bouquet at a wedding (R.'s sister chucked that baby straight at me, no doubt rigged ;} thanks for passing the torch though, Megan) and my car beginning to kaputz (the heating and ac has just gone on the fritz, oi). Hope the New Year finds everyone well!
