quit taking life so friggin seriously

i find
that wearing your hair in pigtails
inherently makes you feel more silly and happy :)

i have to breathe more when assholes who ring up an $80 bill leave me a $2 tip

fucking hell!

i tried to make resolutions for the new year

“i will not drink for a month”
“i will blah blah blah”
“i will kid myself…again”

instead, we all dressed up like concubines and gentlemen and embraced the new year, dancing to the temptations and kissing each other like lunatics

my real resolution?

to keep that spirit in tact as long as i possibly can

the other night i saw some friends i rarely hang out with anymore…we drank rum like pirates on top of a beautiful rock face that looked down on a mirror lake that reflected the stars back at themselves

and even though mosquitos feasted on us, i giggled at the thought of them buzzing around, drunkenly, possibly wondering “why can’t i get more meals like this???”

after the rocks and the stars, me and one other ran blissfully through a church/community center that had somehow been left unlocked for the evening…we stumbled into the chapel, pitch black with only the sound of water running…i came to my knees at the altar (something i haven’t done in maybe seven years) and smiled at the smell of prayer in the air

and then a cute kicker…for the past 4 hours i had been begging my friends to get water but alas, alack! all the convenience stores were closed…suddenly, we entered the kitchen of this community center and behold!!! and entire CASE of poland spring!

“there’s your water,” said my fellow adventurer.

i said a little prayer of thanks and downed a bottle and took one for the road…those bottles of water saved my life the next morning, i’m sure of it

that night was what it meant to be free…free to get mosquitos drunk, free to sing with bullfrogs, free to meet grace in the strangest of places

w00t :)

that watching enough eddie izzard standup can definitely aid in this goal :)

when you are unemployed and broke….

it’s so weird…i have been out of work for over 2 weeks in and those two weeks i stopped going to the gym, stopped doing yoga, stopped everything…

i finally got hired yesterday and even though it’s kind of a crappy job and pays very poorly, my entire demeanor has shifted today…i was able to get up and clean the whole house…i’ve got a head start on my homework and look forward to doing over an hour of yoga tonight…

i must learn better coping skills…i noticed last night that watching monty python and the holy grail helped significantly :)

NI!!!

and in response to agilesport

i’ve had a hard time with this goal…but it’s getting closer to being achieved

about a month ago, i went through an incredibly painful breakup that left me totally empty…the relationship up until that point had been bipolar, and very very intense…not a reflection of this goal at all

however, since then, i was granted time to figure out my needs, my wants…he was granted the time to tell me all the things i had needed to hear for months…we’re now taking things slowly, and MUCH less dramatically

as a result of this (and probably not just this, but also the desire to follow a career path that i adore) i have found myself bent over laughing more, and being blown away by the beauty and cuteness of life

in not taking life as seriously, i have found myself easily moved…things mean more, even as they are viewed with less of a limiting viewpoint…it’s an interesting paradox, and it’s a ride i’m enjoying immensely

this seemed totally appropriate for this goal

i should link this goal with THIS goal :)

they blend so perfectly

what’s this feeling?
my love will rip a hole in the ceiling!
