verbminxI am talking to T. and waiting for Felicity (shut UP) to come on, and T. suggested that I might have more time to do things if I spent less time writing about them. "I like my journal!" I protested. He replied, "Yes, I like it too, but do you need to write in it three times a day?" I replied that it is my journal and I can write in it as often (or not) as I want to. So there.
Earlier today I was lost in thought while I was driving (not in itself a good habit), wondering where my romanticism went. Just a few years ago I wore full skirts almost every day, was inordinately proud of my long hair, read a lot of fantasy, found tarot cards indescribably absorbing, fell in love hard and fast. I can't picture myself doing any of the above today. I went through a lot... but what happened? What was the breaking point? What was healthier? I think I'm happier now, but at the time I thought I was happier than I had been before.
Yesterday I watched October Sky, a film I had consciously avoided when it came out, thinking it was manipulatively "heartwarming" and basically sickeningly mealy-mouthed (based on the advertising, mostly - I don't like movies that are marketed as being "inspirational" and "sentimental"). But I watched it despite my reservations and was pleasantly surprised. It's still an "inspiring melodrama", but it was absorbing.
