Can't sleep.
SO STIR-CRAZY.
I am so afraid of winding up trapped in the suburbs with an SUV and a mortgage. I wish there were some way I could be guaranteed to have a reasonably cool, environmentally sustainable life. I mean aside from my own confidence in my abilities to do so. 'Cause that's wavering in a bad way right now.
That's another thing. How do you approach topics like sustainability or the importance of supporting independent businesses (instead of, say, going to Moxies and the local Paramount cinema on a Friday night) with your family without seeming like you're totally preachy and dripping with West-Coast-university-student smugness? I feel like the entire clan are collectively rolling their eyes at me whenever I open my mouth at a family gathering.
Bah. And I feel like I'm getting dumber every day too. I wonder sometimes if I need to operate under the guise of academic busyness to convince me that I'm not decaying.
Everything is OK. I just wish I could sleep. I think too much when I lay awake in bed.
