A Desire to be Refreshed
In an effort to exist more positively in the world moving forward, I have decided to make a list... Lists help me sort my thoughts and they make me feel productive. I also think there is a lot to say for simplicity.
Things that make me happy:
- Beautiful books...with lovely pictures; be it a cookbook, a design book, a novel with beautiful cover art: I love them all
- Driving with my windows down and the sunlight hitting my face
- Seeing movies in the movie theater...this will always be my favorite thing. Ever.
- Fresh salads
- Elegant and poignant television shows...I just finished watching the whole first season of The Big C
- Reading in the afternoon
- Stretching...oh my, half pigeon, you make me feel so good
Flaws I am trying to accept about myself:
- I'm always going to have trouble pleasing everyone when I come home to Jacksonville to visit. I will never be able to make everyone happy but I still want to do my best to let those I care about know that I love them. It's all I can control.
- I am never going to be ridiculously skinny without being ridiculously unhappy. I just want to be healthy.
- I need to get better at moderating alcohol. I'm tired of binge drinking. Adios bad habits.
- I don't need to work out everyday of the week to be productive. Being active everyday is wonderful in small doses. I only need to have full workouts 3-4 times per week.
- Being a strict vegetarian might not be the best option for me despite my political views. I have trouble feeling like I get enough protein. I kind of want to see a dietician first before making any big decisions.
I think I might devote some time to writing thank you notes to people in my life that I genuinely care about and I want to actually mail them. I'm going to search for some pretty stationary...
More soon!

Cocorosie - "Werewolf"
In a dream I was a werewolf
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fright
Broken sundown fatherless showdown
Gun hip swollen lip bottle sip yeah I suck dick
Loose grip on gravity falls sky blinding crumbling walls
River sweep away my memories of
Children's things a young mother's love
Before the yearning song of flesh on flesh
Young hearts burst open wounds bleed fresh
A young brother skinny and tall my older walks
Oceanward and somber, slumber sleeping
Flowers in the water, but I'm just his daughter
Walking down an icy grave leading to my
Schizophrenic father. Weeping willow won't you wallow louder
Searching for my father's power
I'ma shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse
He's a black magic wielder some say a witch
Wielded darkness when he was wilein on his mom's
And born child and he was the bastard that broke
Up the marriage evil doer doing evil from a baby carriage
And he was born with the same blue eyes
Crystal ships dripping with ice, diamonds coruscate
In the night fireworks electric bright
And now he's gots his own two sons
Tries to hide his tears in a world of fun
But loveless bedrooms filled with doom
Bring silent heartache July to June
Swoon over new young hot flame
Mourn the memories later
Laugh now alligator
Laugh now alligator
Oh in a dream
My love came to me
And made me swear
That I'd keep what's sacred to me
And if I get the choice
To fill in his name
I'll pray my way through the rain
Singing, Oh happy day
I don't mean to close the door
But for the record my heart is sore
You blew through me like bullet holes
Left stains on my sheets and stains on my soul
You left me broke down begging for change
Had to catch a ride with a man who's deranged
He had your hands and my father's face
Another Western vampire different time same place
I has dreams that brings me sadness
Rain much deeper than a river
Sorrow flow through me
Tiny waves of shivers
Corny movies make me reminisce
They break me down easy on this generic love shit
First kiss frog and princess
I'ma shake you off though
Get up on that horse and
Ride into the sunset
Look back with no remorse
My soul was filled with crystal light
Lavender ribbons of rain sang
Ridding my heart of mortal fright
Broken sundown fatherless showdown

Love
Sometimes it breaks my heart to hear when people I love are in love. I'm scared of other people getting their hearts broken. I'm scared of other people hurting because they're in love and the one they love is far away. I just hate seeing the only thing that makes any sense exist too far away to touch.

I love October!
So, today was a relatively productive day! I woke up at 9, went running around the East Village until the cold air collapsed my lungs, drank coffee, worked until 4, delivered a fruit bag due to an immense amount of fuck-ups that happened as we change over to the new computer system at work, saw The Battle of Algiers with my class, and met Caroline and Nina for some wine! All together, a pretty good day. Plus, the weather was truly gorgeous; I love fall so much it makes me want to squeal.
This weekend, I'm off to New Hampshire with the whole crew, which will be fantastic and hilarious and I cannot wait until we are departing the city tomorrow night. I need a break from New York SO BADLY. Leaves and hot apple cider and mountains and TREES!!?! DO THEY EVEN EXIST? I CAN'T REMEMBER?!?!
I'm a bit melodramatic, I admit it, but I'm just really looking forward to this trip. I'm exhausted at the moment so I'm going to get some sleep for once...hopefully the next time I feel like writing I will also feel revived with the refreshing air of the countryside. Happy autumn!
