one obsession and a poorly constructed metaphor please

Just when I had started feeling like myself again, THIS happens.

THIS = a crush

Whatever. I'll get over it.

In the meantime, I'll obsess. Because obsessing is at least something I do well (not that it does well for me, but that's a different issue), so I can at least feel like myself while obsessing.

It occurs to me that sounds vaguely creepy. Rephrase: I'll obsess about having a crush, not about the acutal object of the crush. Yes, that is what I meant to say in the first place. I'll think about the implications this might have on me (even though - let's face it - there are no implications; this changes nothing substantial). I will deconstruct every absurdly dramatic moment I create in my Pisces Dreamworld. And to start on that path, see below:

I feel swept away in general, and not in a romantic movie sense. More in the my-life-is-going-in-twelve-directions-at-once-without-me sense. Part of me wants to grab all these pieces and pull them back tightly, wrap my arms around them, hold them against my chest, and close my eyes until the wind stops. Another part wants to spread my arms wide and enjoy the way the wind tangles my hair and makes me unbalanced. Another part want to avoid all this metaphorical, dramatic bullshit and just get on with it already.

Clearly, that part loses. I am overdramatic. I do overanalyze.

Perhaps I feel like myself after all.

physical

I think my body reacts adversely to stress.

Update

Very thankful for those new tires today...

Dads are awesome. Daddy's girls reap the benefits of dads being awesome.

And I will always be a daddy's girl.

My literature training has ingrained this habit into me: When reading, I underline phrases that interest or amuse me, bracket sections indicative of overarching themes, and write comments in the margins.

Reading Oscar Wilde is a lesson against this sort of behavior. I will have to buy a mountain of new pens before Dorian Gray is done.

I should have known better, but it's been years since I've read Wilde. He's entirely too quotable, and I can't get through a page without reaching for my pen. Plus, there's that whole thing about him raising questions that anyone who claims to be remotely artistic must at least consider...

Curse you, Oscar Wilde. Cuuuuuurse yooooooooooooou!

on being an (irresponsible) adult

I have now received my Christmas presents: a check to help with bills, four barely used tires, and one alignment. And no partridge in a pear tree.

One month early.

Things I need, not things I want.

I am grateful that, for Thanksgiving, the worry weight making my shoulders tense has eased somewhat.
