Of how over time I have let go some of things I love and moved way from "some life" that once met a lot to me. <BR/><BR/>I think about it even more during my PhD process--of why exactly I am doing this, what does this mean to me, and what am I becoming.

So funny I had to watch it twice to make sure I saw everything.<BR/>Also I joined in your swap, truly fantastic! Can't wait. But I too am a list maker of sorts...not the 'bucket type' but what I need to accomplish or finish up, etc. In fact I need a list to list all my lists! *snort* lOL!<BR/>Miss you come by and say hello girly!<BR/>RobynAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08105529545402805909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545649522016852351.post-82546737733420373232008-06-24T17:37:00.000-04:002008-06-24T17:37:00.000-04:00Faycat, I totally know what you mean. But somehow...Faycat, I totally know what you mean. But somehow, I can't stop loving lists...<BR/><BR/>It's funny about the "grown-up" apartment. I think A. and I are still struggling with that for ourselves. I mean, we're not that far from futon-and-boards-on-cinderblocks-bookshelves-and-milk-crate-storage-units...not far at all. This weekend we put together a new tv cabinet (from where else but IKEA, of course) and I was both pleased with the look and also had that feeling you get when you're tacking in the cardboardy faux wood back of a piece of IKEA furniture--you know the feeling? Like, will I ever be someone who doesn't have furniture backed with pasteboard? Oh, well. Now I think I might adopt that goal of yours as one of my own. <BR/><BR/>Then it begs the question: will I ever feel like a grown-up? And do I want that as a goal?<BR/><BR/>ergh...<BR/><BR/>xoxoLeahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14061893047279652658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5545649522016852351.post-30212384062043987022008-06-24T17:19:00.000-04:002008-06-24T17:19:00.000-04:00This gives me anxiety, pressure to accomplish some...This gives me anxiety, pressure to accomplish something. Is it bad that the only thing I can really think of is to make my apartment a non-cluttered, aesthetically pleasing grown-up home? I just find that goal so overwhelmingly out of reach (due to my own laziness) that I can't get past it.<BR/><BR/>I think I just have an aversion to writing goals down because it feels like it boxes me into specifics, and then I'll feel disappointed in myself if I either change the goal or decide that I don't really want to do it. So I'll just keep my mouth shut.faycathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08676598931665463761noreply@blogger.com
