Backwards

I have started this strange habit of reading backwards. I don't mean: Right to Left, going up the page from the bottom . . . but what I mean is: I start at the last paragraph of things and then read the second to the last, third to the last, and so on. I don't do this in books, mostly just online. Online news, blogs, movie reviews, emails, etc. I don't really know why this started, I just do. It might go back to me writing backwards (when I am using pen and paper), but I'm not sure. When I write using a pen I write: Left to Right, bottom line up to the top line. Not rocket science, but it does take a person a little bit of time to read what I wrote (if they are so inclined). I guess I figure, when reading backwards, I know where it ends - so I know if I care how it got there. If I do, then I continue . . . if I don't then I stop.

Enough about me - what is one of your weird quirks?

Running Free

I have never felt like running so bad as I did at 8:02 tonight. I wanted to run screaming from the building - much like I did on graduation day from college. There was a woman in my way though, so I just walked - but in my mind I was running free.

Watch for puddles

I think I have something to say RIGHT NOW, but I feel too tired to say it. It is only 10:45, but I just can't live this day any longer. I think I might melt into a puddle if I do. I am having one of those days/weeks/and what could be months where I am just on the edge of puddle-dom 24 hours a day (or at least the hours I am awake). Perhaps tomorrow, or Wednesday I will still have something to say. Perhaps by tomorrow or Wednesday I will be melted - you never can tell with me.

Dog Ownership

some days i think i must be the worst dog owner ever.

The next thing

i think that this morning was the first time i had really sung a song at church, which means i meant it.




don't go see "year of the dog". it was like being kicked in the stomach repeatedly in the name of a quirky love story. i saw no love story - just a lot of dog death.




rock hitting season is back, and this is the best season so far. fewer games, but they are more challenging . . . can you say 10 pts. for the port-a-potty?




being in the dmv in bridgeton missouri is a lot like being back in oklahoma.




when you hear the sentence: "the doctors think she might have lou gehrig's disease." it is really hard to focus on the word "might" and not put the focus on "lou gehrig's disease".




my life is mundane, and i like it that way.




i bought a new deodorant and the smell is called optimism - it isn't working. i smell great, but my outlook on life is pretty much the same.




most people grow out of the phase where they have pimples all over their face - i grow into it.




10 items or less is still good.




they serve alcohol at the frontenac movie theatre. from here on out it is independent films for me!




addie makes me smile, even when i get a little mad at her.




i had a normal conversation with an old friend. it was like being transported back 2 years. i hope that trend continues.




i think i may have found the shoe of my dreams. everyone else probably thinks they are ugly, but i might buy every pair in my size so i will always have them.




time to throw away my rocket dogs, they hurt my feet, even though they look comfortable.




next week it is off to the gym, and hopefully i can say good bye to my fat.




i guess that is all i know. just random thoughts.

Friends

With 98% of my friendships - I feel like I am getting the best deal ever, and they are getting the short end of the stick. I don't know why half of them want to be around me at all.
