no title.
I wrote this terribly melodramatic post about how nonsensical it is that I am forcing myself to be stuck at home, rather than lollygagging about in this oh-so-interesting city I live in. All of this is old news. I already know this, so why keep harping on it? It just rubs it in for me, really. Either way, I mentally slapped myself out of it, took a shower, shaved & lathered with LUSH body wash called Flying Fox (which smells like if jasmine & honey were trying to seduce you into their bedroom so they can have their way with you in a tangled threesome) & put on an outfit that fits my mood for today, before I picking up Lover from work.
Flowery shirt & Levi jeans from Ross; built-in-bra undershirt from so long ago I can’t even remember when I bought it; killer beige vest (could pass as a dress, too) from Angl; same heart necklace from yesterday; other necklace was a present from Lover, which has the Sanskrit symbol for the word “Om” on it. There is a word for this, but I don’t remember it now. Oh! & flip-flops from Payless.
I am starting to see a pattern in these “what I’m wearing today” kind of posts. I quite like it. It gives me something to do. & it just stopped me from whining about being an unemployed Loser.
Other than this useless ensemble of clothing, the day was rather restless. I spent some time editing an interview that needs to go to press on Monday. The editor (my aunt) requires that the interview be no more than 350 words, which is about 3 paragraphs, roughly. This is going to be such a pain in my side, for I have well over 1600 words for this extensive interview. I haven’t a clue how I am going to dwindle it down to 350 words, which includes the introduction. This sort of writing is not really my forte; I haven’t had to really use my brain in writing in quite some time. Hopefully it’ll turn out alright, in spite of this ridiculous word count.
Sigh.

I’m diggin’ the what I wore today stuff. You can tell so much about someone by the way they dress. And monkey bread still equals automatic rockage.

@ Anna: Thanks! :] It’s definitely new to me, but I’m enjoying myself.
@ Jeff: you’re right, you really can tell. I think that’s why I decided to do it this way, because words are one thing but an actual image is more thought-provoking. thanks! :]

@ Natalie: I am writing for a magazine for my Aunt; it’s a modern Christian women’s magazine called Hope for Women. They’re fairly new & I am just contributing for them here & there. :]

I don’t think you should stress too much about not being able to write about things you’d like to write about. You’re a great writer and as long as you continue to passionately write about the things that inspire and enrage you, even while you still have to write about pony-tails professionally, your time will come where you’ll be able to share on a much wider forum your true writing spirit. This is just paying dues right now. Keep our head up and keep the thoughts flowing out of your head, thru your fingertips and onto that keyboard.
