Bob Dylan

This is probably the best interview ever recorded.

Do not be fooled by the fact that it was published in Playboy.

It is Bob Dylan. Enough said.

Interview

oh, life.

The past 5 months have been a crazy roller coaster I never really expected to hop on and ride out. I always talked about how stuck I felt while living in Tallahassee, but had mostly resigned to the fact that my life would be a sort of limbo until graduation. Well being home for the Summer, working hard at a job I loved, and being around the people that mattered sparked something inside that made me refuse to go back to live in the wasteland of Tallahassee, Florida. It literally hurt thinking about attempting to settle back in to a place that never really felt like a home.

After a week of convincing and gathering information, I was on my way to drastically changing the way the next two years of my life would pan out.

I tore my room apart, reorganized my life, started picking up babysitting jobs, and decided to never second guess my decision. Taking the Summer to really figure out what made me happy and what would continue to add that spark that had been missing was well worth it.

Sure, nothing is perfect. There are still nights spent eating cookie dough and watching 12 episodes of 30 Rock in a row and wondering where my friends are - oh, away at college- but I have another job I love, and slowly but surely starting to discover new things about myself.

Things that are making me happy right now:

1. library books

2. the ribs i ate for dinner

3. the chocolate/peanut butter ice cream i ate after

4. the gallon of water i just drank

5. talking to danielle

6. andy samberg

7. the potential job i may have in september!

8. i'm not packing all my crap up to go back to shithole usa tallahassee

9. the smith's cd nicholas brought home

10. dom being my sister

11. dolly owning a car in 4 days!

12. my horoscope hitting home all this week

13. the amazing friends i have

14. my cluttered desk

15. my broken dream catcher

16. ashley coming home tomorrow!

17. the 23425 pillows surrounding me

18. the whirring of my fan

19. my full ical

i'm loving this feeling. i guess i should start taking advantage of it.

i thought for sure this streak would only last about a week, but it's been going strong for some time now.

i am completely happy being single. i find myself wanting to spend time with my friends & family much more than attempting to pursue any guy.

i think i also have my internship to thank for this new found independence i havent felt in years. I have something i'm incredibly proud of, i love where i live, i love the people that are in my life everyday and i love sitting in my pjs and watching tivo for hours if i feel like it.

there's something incredibly freeing about really not caring whether you have someone to text, call at night, or hold hands with. sure i love that. i love finding that person you want to do all those things with, but for now i'm more than happy spending the summer focused on the stability in my life rather than chasing after something/someone who may not really give a shit.

every day just points out more and more how lucky i am to live the life i have. this summer will probably be one of the most memorable and not because of some Grease-like summer love, but instead because of the time spent on what i truly love and enjoy.

i want to write a book.
i just don't think i'd be able to successfully organize all the thoughts in my head.

my home is being remodeled.
