i like advice columns

Saturday, October 30th, 2004

why? i am afraid to think for myself sometimes, even though i do it all the time, which is good, mainly because i have to. advice columns also remind me of experiences almost every human shares. one central theme is that mistakes are ok, and that the best course is some kind of action–any kind of action at all. still, even with the advice, i am paralysed sometimes. completely, too.

i had fun today but i am tired. don’t know if i’m going to boos cruise, it means i have to be there until 2, paying ten dollars, and spending time with lots of people i don’t want to spend time with (and of course, people i do want to spend time with–i haven’t forgotten you). i’d rather sit at home and figure things out, maybe clean my room at the same time to break up the monotony. but part of me nags, telling me that i just might never figure things out unless i put myself out there.

i haven’t posted any pictures in a while because my digital camera has partially crapped out. but there are memories i made today that beat the hell out of anything i could see out of a camera.

he kept saying “yeah larry! go larry! give it to me larry!” which was weird until i realised he knew larry from before.

i walked straight in and got some hot chocolate, a piece of lemon cake, and my exam. then i went straight for the crooked desk in the back, because it was crooked and oh-so-appealing. i’m almost always the least concerned person in the room, i think.

your voice reminds me of a twelve year-old. and you (someone else), i don’t talk to you much but each time you remind me of what it’s like to be a good person and i thank you for that. i wish i had gotten to know you better three years ago when i first met you. and surprisingly, i ate at picante’s tonight.
