Never ending math equation

in Miscellaneous, Reflections

I listen to the shuffle of iTunes: !!!
I peruse archives.
I get ready to swim.
Wait, what’s that? Is she actually going swimming!?
I run my fingers through my new pixie cut and envision Winona Ryder, Reality Bites days: Witty banter, sarcasm, too many cigarettes, too many Big Gulps™. Do people even drink those anymore?

It’s a lightly snowed weekend and I’m wasting time.

Her: As long as we’re mostly busy with good stuff, I think we’re doing ok.
Me: I wish I could say that I busy myself with good stuff, but sometimes I think I spend way too much time drowning in the depths of twitter.
Her: Twitter. Is. Ridic.
Me: Doesn’t it feel like a total time-waster?? Like it’s killing your brain one letter at a time? Sometimes, most of the time, that’s how it feels to me…
Her: Yes, yes, and yes.phishmr818c

Come waste your time with me.*

* Thanks, Trey (and Tom Marshall), for a nice lyric. And thanks, Modest Mouse, for a nice title.

It’s only wasting time if you hurry yourself too much. Sometimes it’s nice just to go with the flow.

And yes, people do still drink Big Gulps unless I imagined the one I had on the way home from church.

I know, I know. But I can’t help myself. I’m glad others feel this way too.

I spend too much of my life planning FB status updates, which is why I should never, ever join Twitter.
You made me long for a swamp water Big Gulp!

Love Reality Bites, indifferent towards Big Gulps, never used Twitter and don’t intend to. Kinda sounds like a personal ad doesn’t it? SWF, 23, seeks fellow opinionated Twitter hater to enjoy long walks on the beach, soup, indie rock with.

I just joined Twitter and I’m not feeling the pull yet, but I have a feeling I’ll fall for it sooner or later!
