Tomorrow, there's a very high probability that I'll stick to almost the exact same routine, with a few minor adjustments here and there, like what video game I'll play, how much reading I'll do, or what I'll eat. (I need some variation in my life) I've recieved pitying comments from friends and family about how bored I must be, about how they'd have simply gone nuts had they been placed in my position. However emphatic and sincere those comments are, they're simply unjustified-- I'm content because I've always been one of those people who are perfectly capable of keeping themselves independently entertained. I'm absolutely thrilled to have been able to finish so many good books so far this season and I'm looking forward to reading the rest that have found their way onto my prestigous to-read list. The same goes for the video games I've been meaning to play for a long time. (I've been way behind on my media consumption, though now I have time to catch up!)
So despite the fact that almost everything I do now falls into a relatively strict routine, every night as I go to bed it's very reassuring to be able to think about the next day and basically know exactly what I'm going to be doing. I like adventure and variety, but in controlled doses. At the moment, surrounded by no one of exceptional importance, I embrace a patterned lifestyle. When my best friends return from their scattered locations, party on.
New favorite book of all-time: The Solace of Leaving Early, by Haven Kimmel.

hm. i was hoping for a review. also, are you on good reads? because i would really appreciate reading your reviews of books that you have recently read.
Party! Party! Here i come!
for real though, i want to read it when i get there.
The patterns of the summer are so convenient - I love that. Although I admire your contentment with your schedule, I have to say, in this we are not the same. I'm a throw caution to the wind type of girl. Where you find reassurance in the ease of the following day while you drift off, my mind keeps me up thinking about the next days possibilities. But, I'm also guessing you already knew all of this.
Two more weeks! And then your salad days are over - swiftly replaced by your friends. And then, the party will definitely be "on". Believe it.
ah taylor: the simplicity of living just for yourself.
and i'm serious when i tell you to enjoy it. as life continues its onward and upward march through time and space, you will find that there will be less and less time for you and for what you want. if you are wise (which i know that you are), you will find that time now and then be not so selfish in finding it when you have other (better) responsibilities (aka, wife, kiddlets, career, church responsibilites--you know what's on that list...)
p.s. i miss you!
R U Kidding. I would love to wake up at like 10 AM. Must be nice. Do yourself a favor--do it as long as you can!!
If you could give more detailed information on some, I think it is even more perfect, and I need to obtain more information!
