Cow in a snake suit
I've now seen both Sherlock Holmes and the Blind Side and was disappointed by both. Do not recommend. However, Avatar (in case you haven't heard already) was quite entertaining, and yes, I'll admit, I cried. That one everybody should definitely go see.
As I was surfing Facebook, a dangerous past-time if there ever was one, it occurred to me how distant some of my past surroundings and acquaintances are. I definitely shed lives like I other people discard outfits.
From losing myself in an online world throughout college, shifting through several games and communities, to giving it up to focus on real life and my future, to getting a great full-time job to then deciding I might want to be a mechanical engineer and taking differential calculus after work, from 5pm-9pm, Monday-Thursday (yeah WHY did I think that was a good idea?!?) ... and then definitely running away from it all, and finding a new life and wonderful new friends in China... and now I'm back [from outer space, I just walked in here to find... j/k] in the States, in a new state, new city, new school, new circle, etc...
I wonder if it's because I'm just dissatisfied, and then I wonder if I could be satisfied by, as some other people do, staying in the same town with the same people for their whole lives. I am working hard to get an internship in San Francisco, although Los Angeles would be easier, because I want to take advantage of what I feel is a golden opportunity to live in a yet another city for 3 months. I am also intrigued by a number of jobs that involve rotational programs, often international. At the same time, I feel more than a little sad at the thought of all the friends I've lost, left behind, or are settling down.
Anyhow, just some random thoughts. I'm off to go watch season 4 of Dexter, which I hear is amazing. :D
