hi.

this feels weird. but i really want to get used to it again.

so i think i'll start with some lyrics... as i so often have. of course, i'm not a huge fan of california (i'm a new yorker for christ's sake), but i am a huge fan of mason jennings and i think this song is very sweet. so hello. i am home. and here is some mason:

*

i tell you what i'm gonna do
i'm gonna lighten up
i'm gonna throw a box of books
and my beloved guitar into the back of my truck
and try my luck in california
california, california, california

i'm gonna stay away from LA
i'm stayin' far away from there
i'm goin' north of san francisco into the cleaner air
i'm gonna get a little land with the money i save
and buy an old house that i can work on
where the next nearest neighbor lives miles away
i'll never have to mow the lawn
right on, california
california, california, california

and when the house is all finished
and the garden is grown
i'm gonna write you a letter
asking you to come home
and i know that you will come
yes, i know that you will
'cause others may know where you've been
but honey, i know where you're from

you're from california
california, california, california.

yay mason! i will love him always. yikes, i'm really tired suddenly. but ohmigod, thank you so much to everyone who wrote welcoming me back... holy shit, jesse bordwin, i miss you, kiddo, where have you been all my life, we need to discuss... but let me just try to say this as eloquently and concisely as possible:

as many of you know, i have always had an obsession with documentation. it was last year though, over my first christmas break of college, when i discovered that my documentation was strongest and most comprehensive during the tough times in my life. that short period was the most relaxed i had ever been... EVER. it was miraculous. and i stopped writing completely. when i came to NYU, i abandoned all forms of journaling, even through all the INCREDIBLE things that happen, which is kind of angering in retrospect but hey, i was living it instead of reliving it. so i'm going to try to reconnect here. i really want to make it work.

wow, ok i think i need to get in bed. i have josh's class tomorrow at 9 because we have a special schedule... UMMM how am i going to do improv at 9 in the morning, holy shit, that'll be pretty interesting. ohmigod you guys don't even know about all my incredible teachers and classes and just like my amazing life at NYU in general... ok slowly slowly...

a couple of important things to know before bed:
.i fell in love with a clarinet player
.glenn kotche and i are married nevertheless
.my biggest problem right now in my life (and my acting, which basically is my life) is that i'm constantly PUSHING and my passion needs to be molded into more effective forms

ok CRACK. i need to go bed, kisses... coherence coming soon, i promise, perhaps as early as tomorrow morning, love love love... -L
