That's Not What I Meant!

Story of my life. And it has now infiltrated my sleep, so even in my dreams I'm awkward and misunderstood. And klutzy. Go figure :(

On the upside, I have just reread AND rewatched Alice in Wonderland (which I absolutely love... I'd love to fall into some sort of ridiculous nonsensical world) and found out that they're doing a NEW movie with Johnny Depp as the mad hatter. It's coming out around my next birthday, so happy birthday to me! If I'm in New England, I already have a date to go with me :D

Thought for the day: I really hate the question "so what did you do all day?" Why is it that that question immediately serves to do nothing but put the person it is directed to on the defensive? It is not idle curiosity that prompts that particular phrasing, but a demand that the person justify their own existence over the past 24 hours. I don't like justifying my existence. What did I do all day? Maybe I just chilled or read a book or something. Why shouldn't I? It's MY day. Maybe that's exactly what I wanted to do with it. Or maybe I just don't feel like telling about each of my various activities. What if nothing I did makes for a good story? What if I was really busy and productive all day, but it's incredibly boring? "Nothing" seems like a better story than a detailed play-by-play of a dull, average day.








I want to go back. :( I miss the random parties that seemed to be just wherever we were. What did you do today? Nothing, but it was an amazing nothing, and we had a blast.
