(no subject)
I was just reading John Z's online journal, and I started to think about how incredible his life sounds--like the life I want to have. I mean, part of it was probably his writing and really awesome word choice (especially of verbs), but the things he was writing about was what really got me. About all the little things you do for yourself. Stuff that may seem bizarre or funny or something to someone else, but seems so purposeful for yourself. Like...when it rained one night last summer. I put the second disk of Dave and Tim Live at Luther in my mom's car stereo, rolled down her windows, cranked up the volume, and just danced in the rain on my driveway for like...an hour. It was such a freeing experience...the kind of experience that makes you feel like there's nothing to worry about and all that matters is that point in time. I can't imagine how many of those moments I have forgotten and I will say right now that I am going to write them in here from now on. I want this journal to have more purpose than for pathetic attempts at updating people on the major events in my life, although I will continue that. It'll be interesting to see how this changes over summer.
