I was on the fence about something... 22 months ago

and then I read this thing. I think I may have reached a decision. Which is another thing. —Two weeks later, and still no action taken. Arrghh.

Summer Plans 2 years ago

So next fall, I will be a fourth year college student. Before then I want to keep working for a while, but plan on no longer working come the first week in August. After that, I want to go on a cross country road trip. New York to New Mexico! And hopefully, my sister will join me and we will travel in a square rather than two diagonals. This will cover more areas of the country that I have never even seen. And if we are really ambitious, we will return by way of Canada. I don’t want this to be an imaginary goal but a real plan. I need to liberate myself from a job I no longer enjoy. I need to have an adventure and see new, exciting, interesting things. And in the end I want to have no regrets.



This is a tall order, 2 years ago

but I am willing to commit to the change. I will not shy away from things I want just because they might turn out badly. I won’t suffer from lack of trying. I will not be afraid of the switch from depression to happiness. I will endevour to feel more alive, rather than feeling as though I merely exist. And most importantly I will forgive myself for all the things I imagine I am lacking. Too often, I find myself “wallowing in self pity.” This time would be better spent doing anything else.



Who am I? 2 years ago

I’m the kind of person who can hate herself because she sometimes underestimates the gap between narrator and author.

In somebody else I’d find this trait endearing. In myself, it’s exhausting, and not a little self-destructing.



The only problem I have 2 years ago

in life is that the Erinyes never let me alone.



Weird. I got in a (somewhat) heated argument 2 years ago

about typography on a website for linguists and translators. I feel very strongly on the subject (French rules for capitalizing words). So does my worthy opponent. I can see her point, but I still think she’s wrong.
It shouldn’t be a big deal. It’s just a capital letter!

Well, my cheeks are flushed, my heartbeat rose to 120 bpm, and I’m… angry? hurt?
