"G'night, Megariffic!"
Jun. 27th, 2006 02:09 amUh, I am in love with Ikea. I could have a bed and a table lamp in my possesssion for under a hundred bucks! This makes me so stupendously happy. While other people fantasize about doing things *in* a bed, I just fantasize about HAVING a bed. The one thing I'm really looking forward to doing in it is snuggling up... with a good book and reading before bed. :P Scared y'all for minute there, didn't I? ;)
....
Of course, being productive, and feeling a near-constant rush of independence, and getting hugs from lovely people, and writing postcards, and shopping, and good times at work, and being in a professional kitchen almost every day, and being sociable with my intimidating co-workers, and pretty views, and swimming in the river, and ogling, and making dumb jokes, and weight loss and yummy food (those two don't go together until you live my life... :P) and the animals at the zoo, and beautiful buildings, and green parks, and spending time with my wonderful roommates, and warm weather, and pretty clothes, and king crackly phone calls, and mail, and organic fruit and veg, and MSN conversations with the people I love are ALSO many-splendoured things that have a propensity to cause me joy, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Though there are still some rocky patches to work out, like missing the comforts of home, and still missing my friends, and not knowing enough people, and not liking coffee, I'm working on these things slowly but surely, and eventually it'll all be worked out.
At the end of the day, anyway, my glass is still half-full and I love every bit of my checkered crazy life, even though it's sometimes frustrating or sad or confounding (I'm missing out on a lot of drama back home right now, for example). That's what life is; a mix of everything - and I never felt that as acutely as I do now. Growing up and learning about myself were things I thought I had covered, but I still have a long way to go. I welcome the chances to expand and enrich myself, though. How else am I going to become an even better person?
Now, though, I need some enriching sleep. Sweet dreams, LJ land, and maybe tomorrow I'll be writing a new post while sitting on my new bed...? One can only hope. ;)
