Professional pet photographer.

I’m going to use this summer to start building a photography business and hopefully that will pay the bills in the near future.

• Why did you choose a liberal-arts degree when your entire family urged you to go into finance?
• In what year did you begin working on your novel?
• How many weeks away was graduation when you dropped out of college?
• What was your score on the civil-service employment exam?
• Where were you sitting when your girlfriend told you she was pregnant?
• Where did you never end up going for your honeymoon?
• In what year did you begin working for the post office?
• What is the name of the hedge-fund manager your ex-wife married?
• How many hours did it take you to drink that bottle of Jack Daniel’s yesterday?
• What time was it when, in a drunken rage, you threw your novel into the fire?
• If you could do it all over again, what would you do differently?

My boyfriend and I talked on Friday and things are good now.  After a lot of thinking and talking with a lot of friends, I realized that I was kind of freaking out about being tied down and giving up opportunities for him.  I didn’t realize how much pressure I was putting on myself.  So, I told him all of this and he understood.  We both agreed that we need to spend less time together and make sure that our time together is quality time.  Living together in August is an option, not the plan anymore.  If I find a job far away, we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Or is it the other way around?

Pep Talk: Quick! Now’s your chance to live the way you want to. You can go with the flow, blaze a trail, whatever! There isn’t one perfect way to do things. If you have a misstep, we’ll get over it. You do the best that you can and I’ll do the best that I can and life will unfold the way it’s meant to.

Today remind yourself: Now’s my chance.

Now IS my chance…but I haven’t yet figured out the life I want to live.  The reason I’m on this break with my boyfriend is to figure stuff like that out, but I still really miss him.

who constantly thinks about the names of future children even though that whole thing is so far off it’s not even funny?  like i really spend a lot of brain energy on kids’ names and whether or not they’re original, pretty, and the first and middle work well together.  i don’t even have a boyfriend so i am thinking that this is pretty crazy.

Nope, I have many friends who have already picked out their future kids’ names.  One friend even once told me (in high school) that she would not marry the man if he refused to name their kids the names that she had picked out.

I even looked through the notes of the Jan. 18th Question of the Day “What will you name your children?” a while ago.  Then I stopped myself and made a mental note to find that post when I really have children.

I feel like my friends and myself, at this point in our lives need a collective shake. A collective slap in the face. We are brilliant, creative people and some of us are working, some of us need to find work, but all of up are feeling this dark cloud. I an pretty convinced that if someone just slapped all of us, and screamed ‘wake the fuck up, you brilliant idiot!’ maybe some of us will start moving. And start doing more than what we need to do in order to survive.
