Walla walla

I discovered a lot of things this week.

1. The Hunger Games series is incredibly great.
2. The music I find myself playing most frequently sounds a lot better by the coast.
3. I'm a huge fan of my little sisters, I wish I could kidnap them once a month so they aren't growing up faster than I can keep up with.
5. I've been out of school too long, as my friend Alton can attest to, when I struggled to remember how to form sentences tonight (I blame jetlag).
5. I feel creativity-stifled. I need stimulation and to be around new people, places and opinions.
6. It's a bad idea to wear a dress at an airport/on a plane. Even though they are crazy comfy.
7. I need more fresh seafood on the reg(ular).
8. I could spend a lot of good hours on Pike's Street.
9. Jack's Mannequin is great this time of night.
and 10. I have a fixation with sailboats, and also want a dog.

So I'm sitting at work, I'm pinned to this seat till 2 am this July evening. Clearly the reps are blowing up my phone, so it's completely necessary that I be here. Regardless, I was looking through Anthro's current furniture options and the unpleasant thought came to me how similar real life is to the Sims when it comes to money. The way you just had to wade through the mundane, repetitive motion of everyday life until you've somehow saved enough to buy a couch. To what reward? You now have a couch. And that is nice, but really was it worth the bore? And where do you go from here-a matching chair? A complementary throw? I don't know, but who likes to think about that.
I suppose it's more about what you do in-between, with the time that still belongs to you. I don't pretend to be an expert at this, but I am pretty well practiced in doing what I want to do.

And what I want to do is spend every minute I'm not at work, outside. I've thought that I didn't like Utah weather but what I've learned is I just don't like doing what I don't like to do... I like snow, but I don't like walking to school in it.. because I don't like school. Has nothing to do with the snow itself. This is good to know, because it means that I'm not a pathologically negative person, I'm just impatient and self-centered.

   

One of the best parts of Provo is Provo Canyon. It literally has everything you could ever want from a canyon. (ha ha) But seriously, I went for a little walk before work on this trail and there were so many bikers out. And the river, like every other body of water around here, was flooded so there were people playing in it. It was so nice. The canyon is nice. Really work isn't so bad either, we made friendship bracelets and danced on the balcony, and stole food from the executives fridge and watched the fireworks. Mainly it just sucks now because everyone is gone and I don't want to answer the phone because whooo calls this time of night? Only creeps and people who are annoying.
