Thoreau 'Walking' part 2
"[So I would say —
How near to good is what is wild!
Life consists with Wildness. The most alive is the wildest. Not yet subdued to man, its presence refreshes him. One who pressed forward incessantly and never rested from his labors, who grew fast and made infinite demands on life, would always find himself in a new country or wilderness, and surrounded by the raw material of life. He would be climbing over the prostrate stems of primitive forest trees.]
[In Literature, it is only the wild that attracts us. Dullness is but another name for tameness. It is the uncivilized free and wild thinking in Hamlet and the Iliad, in all the scriptures and mythologies, not learned in the Schools, that delights us. As the wild duck is more swift and beautiful than the tame, so is the wild-the mallard-thought, which, 'mid falling dews wings its way above the fens. A truly good book is something as natural, and as unexpectedly and unaccountably fair and perfect, as a wild flower discovered on the prairies of the west, or in the jungles of the east. Genius is a light which makes the darkness visible, like the lightning's flash, which perchance shatters the temple of knowledge itself-and not a taper lighted at the hearth-stone of the race which pales before the light of common day.]
[The wildest dreams of wild men, even, are not the less true, though they may not recommend themselves to the sense which is most common among Englishmen and Americans to-day. It is not every truth that recommends itself to the common sense. Nature has a place for the wild clematis as well as for the cabbage. Some expressions of truth are reminiscent, — others merely sensible, as the phrase is — others prophetic. Some forms of disease even may prophesy forms of health. The geologist has discovered that the figures of serpents, griffins, flying dragons, and other fanciful embellishments of heraldry, have their prototypes in the forms of fossil species which were extinct before man was created, and hence "indicate a faint and shadowy knowledge of a previous state of organic existence." The Hindoos dreamed that the earth rested on an elephant, and the elephant on a tortoise, and the tortoise on a serpent; and though it may be an unimportant coincidence, it will not be out of place here to state, that a fossil tortoise has lately been discovered in Asia large enough to support an elephant. I confess that I am partial to these wild fancies, which transcend the order of time and development. They are the sublimest recreation of the intellect.]
[In short, all good things are wild and free. There is something in a strain of music, whether produced by an instrument or by the human voice — take the sound of a bugle in a summer night, for instance, — which by its wildness, to speak without satire, reminds me of the cries emitted by wild beasts in their native forests. It is so much of their wildness as I can understand. Give me for my friends and neighbors wild men, not tame ones. The wildness of the savage is but a faint symbol of the awful ferity with which good men and lovers meet.]"

organized. color coordinated. everything documented...
It's my drug.

hair
Some might say going to bikram yoga and not washing your hair after would be disgusting.
I would say, it is a talent to do bikram yoga and NOT wash your hair and still look decent at work.
I'm all about not washing your hair. the longer you can go the better it is for you hair and the more skills it requires to not look like a dirty hot mess.

funny things.
I was talking to my boyfriend on the phone and I was telling him how I went to HomeDepot to buy paint because I want to paint things... ya know, like picture frames and junk, so that my studio will be colorful. He comes out of left field saying he used to manage a paintng company.
huh? what?
funny when there are so many random things you dont even know about your own boyfriend.
I feel like i should ask to see his resume and maybe I would get to know him better.

dunkin donuts
went through the drive thru before work to get an ice coffee... left with a bagel and cream cheese and a coffee. no self control.
The bagel wasn't even that good.
Lets see how many days I can go without eating bread.
Ready set go.

It's Britney Bitch.
"I'm miss extra extra this just in
you want a piece of me
I'm miss she to big now she's to thin
you want a piece of me?"
Things i learned form britney spears: Every bitch is crazy. You just gotta be awesome too so that people still envy you.

Problem:
I want sushi but I'm super poor and I dont get paid till friday. ugh.
Oh, so you mean graduating college and getting an entry level job doesn't mean I am rich? hmmm... that's not ideal.
Moving is expensive. so many deposits. and of course I want to buy furniture and decorate my apartment in 1 paycheck... which clearly is not possible with my entry level paying job.
Also, having a long distance boyfriend + buying plane tickets to see him really breaks my little bank account.
I want someone to buy me things and take me places. mmk, thanks.

Confession:
I remember cheating on my 4th grade spelling test. I felt horrible for days. I actually prayed for god to forgive me.
I just tried to spell Subtle... suddle
sudden... suddenly... suddle...?
I guess this is why I majored in business and not journalism.
And thats what I get for cheating.

benefits
Benefits of being on a men's hockey league with the president of a company... you get hooked up with pretty a rad internship that you are probably not qualified for.
Benefits of being the qualified full time employee that has to sit in the cubicle next to the unqualified intern... I get kudos for actually showing up on time, not leaving early and actually working.
I can deal with the annoying questions and not so subtle passes as long as you continue to make me look good.

Happy Tuesday
Note to self: you are happy when you feel pretty.
It makes such a difference in my mood when I dont press snooze three times and I actually have time to pick out a cute outfit and do my hair instead of wearing a pony tail.
yes, im a girlie girl.

LDR
So my friend new friend Kinsey was checking out my pictures on facebook...
K: Who is that cute guy you have all those cute pics with?
S: Oh he lives in Tahoe, we went to seattle a couple weekends ago
K: Oh, so you're in an LDR too?
S: a LDR?
K: a Long Distance Relationship
S: Oh, ummm, Ya, I guess so...
I never thought I would do something so crazy, but sometimes it just happens to you.
:)
It makes it easier to have Megan and Kinsey who are both in LDR's too.

My Birthday is 54 days away!
Yes I'm counting down. And yes, I know I'm turning 24 and nothing exciting comes with 24. Thank you.
I wish there was a birthday Santa that you could send your wish list too. So for now I'll just send it out to the universe and maybe the universe will hook it up.
1st and foremost I want a Michael Kors watch. I'm a big girl with a big girl job and therefor I deserve one. Rose Gold please.
A weekend getaway!! living social has tons of deals, and I love going to new places, trying new things and making memories.
I also need new black going out shoes. Not heels, only wedges... otherwise they wont stay on for more than an hour and yes, ill be that girl on the dance floor barefoot. I love all things with buckles. or feathers for that matter. Just FYI.
I would love to hire a professional photographer and have a couple boudoir photo shoot. Sexy pictures like this. and yes, my man already has the ink & the sexy tank top :)

But if all else fails, Textsfromlastnight.com said it best:
I'll be accepting presents in the form of drinks, drugs and orgasms. So any or all of those will be fine.

Dinner
ugh. I'm so not excited about going to dinner tonight with C. There are so many complications when it comes to establishing the 'friend zone' with certain guys, that it mostly isn't worth it. Here are some helpful hints that my co-worker and I came up with to make sure there is no confusion on the fact that we are JUST friends.
-Wish me luck.
dont change outfits, wear the same shirt that you wore to work
dont let him pick you up, meet him there
wear your hair in a plain ponytail. this alludes to the fact that you didnt spend extra time curling or styling your hair
wear vans or chucks
dont let him pay
casually mention other guys in conversation
only give one armed hugsand if he really isn't getting the hint, burp and or swear
-Wish me luck.

That is why we need to travel
If we dont offer ourselves to the unknown, our senses dull. Our world becomes small and we lose our sense of wonder. Our eyes dont lift to the horizon, our ears dont hear the sound arround us.

I've got some REAL competion on my hands
Today I have realized that there are two kinds of people who have advantages in business, and LIFE in general;
a.) People who have significant others and get to have morning sex. Fact: There is no way a morning workout creates as much endorphins as a morning orgasm.
b.) People who have prescriptions to adderall.
I am neither of these people and I'm not happy about it.
