To be alive...

To be alive: not just the carcass

But the spark.

That's crudely put, but...

If we're not supposed to dance,

Why all this music?

--Gregory Orr

em...thats a cop.

so...i got a speeding ticket today....and it made me happy??

very weird..but i feel like i needed a good kick in the butt to remember to slow down and relax a little. in the literal way, ive been driving like a crazy person lately, so im glad i got caught so i can stop doing it. and figuratively, since i got on my quarter-life-crisis-go-out-and-live-life-kick, i might have been pushing a little too much to do-do-do. i still want to get out and experience new things, but i want to also remember the little things. like laying around sarahs apartment watching greek. or secretly gossiping with jodi at work. or robyn and i venting our shared hatred of olivia and spencer. or wasting 23 minutes at work chatting with larissa. those things made me enormously happy recently, and i dont want my desire to live-large to prevent me from noticing these small, yet vital parts of life.

so yes. i am officially the type of person who enjoys getting a speeding ticket every now and then. whacha gonna do about it?!?!
