Being in my 20s doesn't feel like I've left adolescence behind--honestly, it just feels like round two. It's a whole new saga of insecurity, except instead of 'which college for the next four years?' it's 'which career for the rest of my life?' Don't mind me, social pressures are just killin' me softly, what else is new.

A lot of people are afraid of spiders, whether or not they're actually dangerous... Why is that irrational? Horror movies scare people without endangering them, is being afraid during a horror movie irrational? Can't scary imagery and scary-looking things just be considered scary?

 I have stumbled across yet another pet peeve. It's asking, not ahksing. Good lord.

It's definitely Sunday, and I've been awake since the sun rose. Which never happens on Sunday.

Paul and I went to the beach today. It was my first step into the Atlantic Ocean since last Summer... I came home with sand between my toes and my hair totally wavy and windswept, and my skin tanner and just... feeling sun-mellowed and happy ( Read more... )
