Tidbits

I went for a nice run tonight before the sun set. It was 68 degrees outside and while I was lacking the energy to run, I couldn't help but enjoy the trail one last time before I get wussy and don't want to run in the cold (I'll move things indoors!). It is the same trail that I ran and biked this past summer and it seemed so different now that the trees have turned and leaves are on the ground. It made me sad. For those of you who don't know me, I definitely express the "sentimentality" gene found in most women. It seems to be lacking in my sister--definitely recessive. She gets pissed when I get sentimental. We balance each other out well :)

A fact: I'm drawn to creative people. When I encounter someone who has an affinity for creativity I can't help but be intrigued by them. I want to know what makes them tick and move and where they find inspiration. I want to understand their individuality. I love it when someone can say something that changes my perspective and challenges my perception. For instance, I ran into one of my favorite creative friends today at Amer's and had a conversation about his PhD interests and general goals for improving society :). Just by being who he is and representing his life experiences and insights he challenges my perceptions and makes me think. I love that! My hope is that I do the same for other people. I guess it's rather relative in that contributions I may make vary depending on the person's experiences and knowledge. All I can do is represent my thoughts and experiences honestly, right? RIGHT!

Song that's currently playing on my itunes: "U Can Look" by Jump, Little Children. (they're fun in concert!)
Song that's next on my itunes: "The Blower's Daughter" by Damien Rice.
After that: "I Can't Wait" by The Sundays.
Then: "A Lack of Color" by Death Cab for Cutie.........

I could go on and on.....
goodnight!
