You suddenly discover that you don't really know anything.

I'm sitting in my bed at home watching the trees outside sway in the breeze. 

I just finished reading my favorite part of Three Sisters out loud to myself and my whole body is shaking. I don't know why exactly I'm having such a reaction to this scene but maybe because it makes so much sense? I was talking through my monologue and suddenly realized there were tears in my eyes and my heart was beating fast. 

This is the kind of stuff that I want to work on. 

okay, thanks?

Writing is weird. 

When I have to do it I can't, when I need to do it I don't, and when I don't have to I do. 

Went to Palm Springs with my friends for a night. Wore my bathing suit. A drunken friend said, "You're body is just so much better now." 

This is a tricky compliment. True, all of my pent-up energy has been put into slimming down and toning up. But it also means there was a time when it wasn't. 

I am baffled by attraction and why people feel the things they do and what it really has to do with anything. 

Especially being such an observer this summer.
