When I asked her what that meant, exactly, as I'm all Western-y and Jesus-y, not Eastern-y at all, she gave me A Look and said, "Emo. You're emo. All sensitive and serious."
She and the other girl I share the office (we're really crammed in there ...), whom I also love, are fire.
O, I wish I could be fire.
Too serious too much of the time, I know. It's kind of a problem. Even my hairdresser, Jacob, asks me "WHY?!" all the time.
As in, I say, "I really want an internship next year at Hospice" (and I really do), and Jacob responds, "WHY?! That's so DARK and DEPRESSING." Jacob has fun.
I had fun once. I think it was a year ago. I went to Hawaii. That was fun. Shoes is fun. A little serious like me sometimes, but that's probably why we get along so well (snaps for us - it's been over a year now.) Social Work school is, well ... you know, it's fun when we laugh at ourselves in class, but it's pretty serious.
As I was praying this week, even GOD asked me why I never took a break. Sigh.
Spring break is coming.
That seems like a good time to figure out something fun to do. Unfortunately for me, this is probably going to take a bunch of thought ....

Balance is so hard to find in grad school! Spring break is around the corner and all I want is to go home (I'm away at school) and sleep:)So, I know the feeling!
Oh my so serious friend... come to Italy for Spring Break! I'd show you lots and lots of fun... fun outtings, fun kiddies, fun memories. If only it were so simple as a wish and a fairy god-mother to wand you a water-proof pumpkin pulled by some mice turned dolphin to deliver you to Venice where I would swoop in and steal you away. I love how serious you are about life... but, I also know the fun side of you as well. HUGS my friend! Miss You! Wendy
Serious and sensitive is good. Finding fun, also good. You can do both with proper planning. ; )
Maria, I feel spring break coming. It's in the air. I can't wait until this term storm breaks, too. ENJOY yourself!
W, don't tempt me! ;) Actually, I can't be tempted because I don't have the money to come visit you, but I'm there in spirit. And I do seem to remember some fun times we had ... ;)
Sarah, I wonder how Quinn would have fun ... maybe I should pick up a few books on trains ...
