Can you say downtime? Because that's exactly what I'm experiencing right now. Some sincere never ending down time. It's quite insane. Dr. Gorman is on vacation and I am stuck here answering the non-existant influx of calls. Heheh. So in short, I'm looking at live journal, researching some of my most inspiring people, and finding odd jobs to be done around the office. Helllooooo! Could this week pass any slower.
I'm in a good place right now. Don't ask me why. Some times it happens. You know how it goes. When it rains it pours. Everything is well though. No fights with the parents, I'm getting along with my sister, and I continue to understand myself more and more each day. There comes a time in life when you just have to accept who you are and what you can't change...and try like hell to take care of what you can. I find each summer a time to somehow lose touch with myself and find out who I am all over again. And each time I come back to earth, I find I've learned even more than I already knew. Isn't it funny how you can somehow not know the person you've spent the most time with all your life? How can you not understand your very being? Your very reason for existence? Oh boy. It's all so interesting. But what's even more fabulousis how you wake up over time as your personality starts to come alive. You start to see that some of the things that you once cared way too much about doesn't matter anymore. When I was younger I used to want to be the most beautiful person in the entire world. When somebody questioned me as to whether or not I would rather be the beautiful or intelligent and confident, i would most likely have answered with beautiful. But now, as I've grown, I've never been more set on being noted for being intelligent and confident. Funny how that works. You kind of grow to understand priorities.
You know...I bought myself the Anne of Green Gables movies the other day. Oh boy oh boy. I'm sooo excited. I've already started watching them. I love those movies soooo much. But as I was watching the storyline progress I found myself entranced with my childhood hero. Anne Shirley is a character that most young girls would look up to. However, even now at the age of 20, I find myself still admiring and looking up to the character. She's bright, brassy, and bold. Furthermore, she's beautiful in her own distinct way. She turns everybody's head just because she is so undeniably her own person. She speaks her mind in the most polite of ways and she attracts the attention of the town hunk by just being Anne. Who could resist? To this day, I would love to be just like her and everything she stands for. Heheh. But seriously, those movies are such a treat for me. I wish I had thought ahead and purchased the DVDs with the cast interviews. I think I still will when I pay off my credit card bill. Ok...it's off to work I go...to finish out the last remain boring hour of the day.
