so
i stayed up all night for no real reason. finished reading the wind-up bird chronicle by haruki murakami.
this is a bold statement, but its my favorite of all of haruki murakami's books. and i love all of them, and i love him. so i think it was really good. it made me think about things differently, like this:
the imagination is powerful and capricious. and you must choose how you align yourself with it, and this will affect you intensely.
this ended up with me deciding what i always do, which is that
I THINK TOO MUCH and generally exist best within my own mind and not within reality.
reminds me of me:
"I'm telling you, you've got a problem," she said, with a sigh.
"It's true, I do have a problem."
"Stop agreeing with everything I say! It's not as if you're going to solve everything by admitting your mistakes. Whether you admit them or not, mistakes are mistakes."
"It's true," I said. It was true.
anyway, i'm gonna try and remember that forever, and not just agree with it and expect that to solve everything or anything. which is to say, i've accomplished nothing in this post but waste the meaning of words in general but more particularly i reached an awareness of my having accomplished nothing.
damn, i need some more excitement in my life. sometimes i absurdly feel like i'm really old and the full passion and intensity of life has already passed me by with the end of junior year of high school. then i remember i'm just thinking about things too much. time to go do random stuff!
