I saw the film Juno twice over winter break, within 3 days of the viewings. One of the lines that stuck out most (and you may have seen it in a trailer or teaser) is after Juno confesses her pregnancy to her parents, and her father states
"I always thought you were the kind of girl who knew when to say when."
She responds, "I don't know what kind of girl I am."
(paraphrased by memory)


For whatever reason, I'm reassessing the sort of girl I am. Not just the 4 years of sobriety that was high school, and the years of not sleeping and anxiety attacks that was everything up to college, but just about everything. Future career. What sort of girl I am. I guess it makes sense that it's all happening now, what with the foreign country, and wading into the real world, but still... I'm enjoying it enough, and the state of flux is enjoyable once I learn better to run with it. This by that will fall into place- internships, my future collegiate experience, where i'm spending the next few years of life, and so on. There's not much more I can do but sit and experience and try not to drink too much.

I'm in Dublin. I'm alive, and well. Tonight is the first since Saturday that I haven't had something to drink. I'm hoping the continues to happen, because much as I enjoy having a good time, it's nice sometimes to spend the day sober and go to bed. I'm planning on going out tomorrow though to Crawdaddy, home of ANTICS. Basically.... life looks pretty good for tomorrow night. Even if I have, you know, class. Thursday. Tomorrow.

I need to return to running. I miss it, badly.

I wrote a poem yesterday, and I'm working on one today, but I can't think of how to end it.
