I'm reaching an all time low with ideas of how to make money. I just listed some of my old handbags on craigslist. Thinking about walking dogs... banging on people's doors to demand that I babysit their children. This is true entrepreneurship.
There's been a steady drizzle today. The kind where all you wanna do is sink underneath your covers and sleep until the next ice age rolls around. [And then sleep summore, because who wants to be awake during an ice age?] I should do some dishes, throw in some laundry... vacuum, clean my room, put on some people clothes... Oh my.
On the other foot, I'm reading a really great book. It's called A Separate Peace by John Knowles. I recommend it.
Who has a car they wanna give me for free?
My brother is blasting The Killers and singing along loudly.
Pleh. Maybe I'll write more later, but I need to go be responsible and stuff.
This is my thought-dumping space. I'm here because writing is one of the only ways I can feel completely alive and in tune with myself. I'm not afraid to sound dumb or say the wrong thing. I don't write for page-views or approval. I write because it frees something in me, because it makes me feel sane in this ridiculously, insane world.

resolution.
Thousands of sewing machines, tapping urgently and beckoning.
The sound of the after-midnight train i hear three blocks away.
It's laced with the tracks, pummeling too fast, willing me to wander away from here.
In my mind, I lurch ten miles a minute,
melting into the steel facade of its escape, wanderlusting and captivated.
But I know that it is more wise to be still.
I'll fasten myself to the mundane present, and take comfort in my mind that, ten miles a minute away, my destination peers through fog-burdened trees.
