an addiction to hands and feet
I haven’t been a very good blogger. I guess that’s what happens to me when the only time I have to write for pleasure is in my journal. Writing privately for myself usually trumps writing for other people — not like I expect many to read what I write. I think writing is so important, for me, at least. It’s important for me to see how my thoughts have developed and changed as time passes. Next year I’m going to try and be a little more disciplined in writing every day. I’d like to do what Andrea had to do for her memoir class — writing a few pages every morning right after waking up, just letting that stream of consciousness flow.
Anyways, Regina Spektor’s new album “Far” is coming out very soon. I like everything I’ve heard so far, although I don’t love any of it as much as I have loved all of her other albums. I posted her video below. I think it’s very cute.
I went out with a couple girls I studied abroad with last night (Marlayna and J.lo) and I thought it was interesting that most people that learned it was J.lo’s birthday were like, “oh you’re a gemini!” Am I the only one who never even thinks about that stuff at all? I think reading horoscope is weird because anything any of it says can usually apply to anyone who’s willing to listen to it, to anyone who wants it to apply to them. That’s just not the first thing I think about when I learn when someone’s birthday is. If that makes sense.
Oh well, boring.
I’m in California right now and loving it, despite the weather. I’ll be here a few more days then head back to our lovely apartment in Birmingham. It’s so nice to be with my family. I really dont’ know how I go so long without seeing them sometimes.
Oh and I now feel more technologically hip than I have in a while with my new MacBook Pro (graduation gift 
) and my iPod Touch, haha.
