Cup o' Reality
I've been here too long
Drank a cup o' reality at 11:49 a.m. on Thursday, Dec. 30, 2004


Since being in California, I have felt strangely disconnected from my "real" life in Minnesota. This, desptite the fact that I have spent excessive amounts of time on the internet.

I also keep trying to figure out what the "right" length of time to be here is. This morning, I woke up realizing that I have, once again, chosen to stay too long. There is this happy balance out there- the long enough to feel satistfied but short enough to want to come back. I felt that way at Thanksgiving... perhaps it is the combination of being here for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. One would have been enough.

And, it isn't that I don't like being here... it is just that I am completely bored: TV= football; CA weather= rain; there aren't any friends who I want to see, well, not really; and my brotehr is already back in Seattle (smart kid!).

Remind me that next year, my plan for Christmas looks more like 5 days with my parents and then fly elsewhere (visit friends, etc) for New Years. The lull between the two is killing me.

And, yes, now I'm done whining
