My old roommate came to visit and having my old roommate and my new roommate together in the same apartment didn't feel quite right. It was like some sort of ripple in the space/time continuum. My new roommate thought that my old roommate talked way too much and I guess that's true. Now I'm going to feel self-conscious if I have an especially long story to share with her.

I have spent the day delving into online recipes! It is a whole lot more fun to peruse recipes than to type and reformat those of other people while under a pressing deadline. If anyone can recommend any good recipe websites, I'm all ears.

I seem to be having an existential day. I've decided that I want to do more with my life. Learning to cook is a start. I want to take tap dancing lessons and karate and swimming and drawing and maybe yoga. And get involved in the community theatre. The problem is, I don't know where to begin so I never end up doing anything.

Perhaps the most challenging thing I've undertaken recently is to get four books about how to become a better writer. These books are full of exercises and tips. I'm trying to write as much as I can, even if I feel like I have nothing to say. I just wish it were easier.   ¶ 5:15 PM
