yes, yes ... cold, bitter heart


Current mood: giddy

in celebration of the fact that it is slightly less freezing tonight than it has been this past week, and the fact that i printed some absolutely exciting pictures tonight, and in honor of the overdose of caffeine coursing through my veins, i have decided to be in a good mood. sure, heartache like thunderous hunger makes me double over at regular intervals, and i have dug myself a variety of graves lately, being irresponsible and generally not very nice, and this morning a lady in a wheelchair made me feel absolutely horrible for locking my bike on the sidewalk, but i have decided to look beyond all these disastrous occurences and feel downright ok, even, how do you say, happy. and sure, war doesn't end and our "leaders" are murderers and my friends are often sad and crazy and NPR is telling me how to invest my money, but still my smile rages on. is this amount of chipper terminal? will i damage myself with such fateful optimism? perhaps.

so i'm off to drink some wine, stare at my lovely photos, pass out with my glasses on and see how i feel in the morning.
