blegh.
I'm so frickin' bored.
I couldn't find the spot in Como where my friend Sara was having a picnic because there were so many people out.
And so I spent the evening working on a monologue and researching grad schools.
Random thought brought along from a monologue about temptation I read:
Is a bad idea made better or worse if you acknowledge that it is a bad idea but go through with it anyway?
I mean, if you're self-aware (like Jill) you're forewarned and forearmed, so then it is better because you can sort of prepare. But you are also a dumb ass because you know better. But sometimes while it isn't actually "better" it feels good to go through with it, in a perverse way.
Generally, I know things are bad for me but do them anyway. Like drinking a bottle of wine when I know I'm already emotionally fragile. That's a relatively minor one, but it tends to end up involving other people (Emily, Jill, Eric, my brother over the phone...seriously, who emotionally drunk dials their brother?)
So all two or three of you who will read this on your friends page:
What's the worst/ a bad idea that you've gone through with knowing that it is a bad idea ahead of time? And did it still seem like a bad idea afterwards?
