i've got a brand new pair of rollerskates and you've got...
Roller derby practice makes my legs hurt and my face smile. We're going to the zoo tomorrow to see some animals before they go extinct. Thinking about the future frightens me.
Lately I've been staying up til about 6 am and sleeping until 3 pm. By lately I mean this past week. I need to stop it because all I do is sleep and shower and watch tv and then rollerskate and come home and watch tv and eat then sleep. I'm not getting any work done. This is the one week off I will allow myself.
Okay I have been doing a few other things, but not the things I should be doing, like planning for the classes I'm teaching this summer. Sometimes, even though I like the things I do, I wish I didn't have to do them so I could just do nothing instead. Do you ever feel like that? Like, I love roller derby. And teaching. And whatever else I may be doing. But sometimes I just wish I'd never gotten myself into whatever thing so I could just do nothing. I don't know if it comes from laziness or anxiety or what. Sometimes I wish I could just stay at home and raise my future babies and write and take some classes and not have to do anything else. Like not work. As I get older, I'm wishing it more and more. Which is inconvenient. Being a grownup gives me the blues sometimes, even if what I'm doing makes me happy.
In other news, I've been listening to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah a lot lately and I really like them. We're getting fresh organic produce delivery from a local independent farm that J and I are splitting with my friend Joyce who is awesome and drives me to rollerderby. I'm very excited for it to start. Maybe my brother will come visit me soon. It doesn't look like I'll be able to go to NYC sadly. At least until August when my grandparents will be footing the bill. I really miss friends I haven't seen in a long time. Gabe and Ben Wages and Matt, I've been thinking about you a lot lately, boys.
I watched this movie, Seven and a Match, which had Eion Bailey who is dreamy and a good actor but the movie itself was sort of blah. But it was about college friends having a reunion. And it made me wonder if something like that could work with our old "gang." So, "gang", what do you all think? Would it be fun, dramatic, dull, or would no one show up? We could do it at my house here in Pittsburgh, since there's room for everybody, though NYC would probably be more convenient distance-wise for most people. Essential members of the "gang" only. I'm thinking me, Justin, Gabe, Matt, Kirsten, Ben, Karl, Emory, Bobbie, Sam and dates, if people have them. Have I left anyone essential out? I'm open to further suggestions, but it should be small. And Zoe is not welcome, if anybody still talks to her anymore (not that you should tell her). Anybody else probably would be. Potentially. Anyway, it's probably just a pipe dream.
A movie that's good is Me and You and Everyone We Know. Good night.
