Okay, so the AC adapter on my laptop has split, and I can 't plug the computer in. I had to call Dell and order a new one. It cost me $70. Looks like I'll be putting in extra hours at the bug range. I won't have a computer for a week.

Okay, so I walked to class this morning and my hair froze, but while I was taking the 20 min hike to dance class I did some thinking. I've found myself worried lately about things I can't help, like my future, and I kind of settled into these "whoa nora, one day at a time" type thoughts. It was comforting, kind of like a call to slow down and just take each moment as it is, without thinking too much about the sidelines. Does that make sense? I just suddenly had this desire to be more present, where I was, rather than off in my other world that I spend most of my time in--my world of pondering. I think these thoughts were influenced by Amelie, which I watched the other night. Living like that, literally in each moment, would be impossible I think (esp. when I'm bored. I'm thankful for my imagination then, and right before I go to sleep I like to wake-dream), but I think it would be a good thing to be a little more aware of what's going around me, rather that viewing every noise and sight as an interruption to what's going on in my head. Because how am I going to be a writer if I never notice anything?

The next thought I had was to be more honest, and I think an attempt to take every moment as it comes would help. Not necessarily more honest with other people, because I don't consider myself to be a phoney person, but kind of like, more honest with myself. Maybe more honest with God. I think I've come along way in this area, but I suppose there is always room for improvement. But here's the thought that occured to me. "Be more honest, and talk less." Hah. Not a bad one though. There are times I feel like I talk so much, I'm not at all aware of the world outside my head. I want to improve that.

Heh, so with all this "thinking" what did I notice around me? Not much. I noticed that I was cold, my hair was frozen, and I was kind of happy to be going to a dance class and thinking on the terms of being healthy again.

Okay, now I have to go to class. I have Acting for the Camera (...) and Acting with Phillip Kerr (...). Yay for Theater. Then I have American Drama. Yay for more theater. Yeah.
