MISCELLANEOUS

I have a cold, first of the season. It's not too bad, so let's hope it's the only cold of the season because I can deal with this.

I've been way too busy lately. I'm over it. I need to start telling more people no. "No, I don't want to babysit. No, I don't want to dogsit." There. But they probably won't hear me on here. Granted, there are certain people I really enjoy babysitting and dogsitting for, but I just can't do this all the time anymore. I'm exhausted. Which is probably why I have a cold.

I'm over being single. Not because I want to be in a relationship just to be in a relationship, but because I want companionship. How do I find that in Helena? I've tried online dating and blind dates without success. All my babysitting and dogsitting makes it hard to meet people.

I have one really good friend in Helena. And she's moving to Japan in less than a month. Why do all the good ones have to live so stinking far away? Another reason to date, so I'll have someone to hang out with again besides my family (I love hanging out with you family, just saying I need other people to hang out with too).

The leaves are changing colors, fall is almost here. I want to be more active this winter, and fall seems like a good time to start. I need to buy new tennis shoes so I can get back to running, then maybe this winter I can go skiing and snowshoeing without being completely out of breath every second. Maybe doing outdoors stuff is a good way to meet some people for friends and dating, I'd like to have those kind of people around to encourage my activeness.

Back to that cold, maybe I should go back to bed. It sounds like a good way to spend a Sunday where I canceled most my plans.

I hear you about the friends things but completely disagree on running. I don't run. :)

"Absence makes the heart grow fonder"

I was always a bit skeptic of this phrase. How can being away from a person make you fonder? With time, you will slowly start to forget the sound of their laughter and the scent of their hair. You will forget the way they dance and the way they like their toast. Sure, when you see them again, when they laugh or dance, all those things come rushing back. Being away may make you yearn for them, but you no longer know them as well as you used to. At least that is what I used to think. I should have know this phrase was true since whenever I would see my sisters again, it was like no time had passed. I don't know what it was that made me realize all that I took for granted, maybe it is being away from home for so long or my travel mishaps or my friend's car accident or maybe just that I am getting older, something made me see how I took everything for granted in my life before I came here. It was so easy, I could go up the stairs or across the hall or get in my car and spend a day ...

I Heart The Office!

Image
My sister introduced me to the television show The Office . And I heart it. I saw Seasons 1 and 2 on dvd in the past week (I watched all of Season 2 between last night and today). The only problem now is that they are half way through Season 3, so I have missed several episodes and it won't come out on dvd until at least this summer... hmm, problem. But you want to know the one thing I heart even more than The Office ? Jim Halpert/John Krasinski (character/actor). He is on the show and I have a huge crush on him. I know what you are saying, you are 25 years old (turning 26 in 2 1/2 months) and crushes on famous people at this age is a little weird, and usually I would agree. It has been many years since I have had a crush on a star. But Jim/John is so an exception. In fact, if I could find a real life guy here in Minnecrap that looks like Jim/John, makes the same facial expressions, has the same sense of humor and is as nice, sweet and kind as him, so basically exactly like Jim/J...

All you need is love?

This is a question people have asked for a long time. Is it true? Is love all we really need? I think it would depend on who you ask. When it comes to young children, love is all you need. You know your parents love you and spend time with you, that is what is most important to a child. You don't understand the importance of money or work or health, all that matters is love. Maybe that is what is so appealing about childhood, why we would all do anything to go back, because we were innocent and love really was what made the world go round. As an adult, I now see things differently. Love isn't all there is, we need so much more. Some would say that makes me cynnical, but I am not. I want to believe that love is all we need and for the most part I agree with that statement, however I see that there is a lot more that goes along with love. As a parent, your role is not only to love, but to protect, comfort, support, provide, but common sense says that those things automatically go...
