I've been working on a lot of cool stuff.
I have this sweet little record player that is also portable that I have been listening to while putting this kitten puzzle together.
I've been paying a lot more attention to my body. Like, I'm going to sleep when I'm tired, and waking up when I can't sleep and I'm trying to avoid coffee because it messes up my sleep patterns (although today was not a good example). And I'm listening to my body when it tells me that I'm antsy because I'm hungry or that I'm acting impatient because I'm too hot or that I'm being distant because I'm craving some time alone. It seems very simple, and it is if you remember that you're a system of needs and responses.
Also, I've been ignoring my older brother's snide remarks because he is the most miserable person I know.
And I've been spending less time online because I always end up feeling like I wasted x-amount of my day online.
I think it's also really amazing that everyone is absorbed into facebook now because I don't want to think about everyone. It is truly crazy that I had a gazillion friends on facebook. Why should my mind be preoccupied with that many people? And especially people that I don't even know that well or even see in my present life. Besides, I kind of don't want anyone to be thinking about me unless I'm actually a part of their lives.
Which brings me to my last subject - I've been doing a lot of neat activities with some pretty rad friends who make me happy and comfortable.
and with a boy who makes me feel not so weird.


Katie and I leave for Chicago Friday night! Here is the tentative line up for Saturday's Pitchfork:

3:20 (C) The Pains of Being Pure at Heart
4:15 (A) Final Fantasy
5:30 (B) Wavves
6:15 (A) Doom
7:25 (C) Beirut

Sunday: Lake Michigan's beach. I am curious to know what a Great Lake feels like.


on a side note:

oh man. If I had sixty-eight dollars to blow, I'd buy you in a heart beat.
