restlessness never suited me well. home is...well...tame. and of course a far distance from the spanish misadventures and 3am double decker rides home. i always thought of myself as a homebody, but perhaps the taste of travels has released the wanderer in me. patience, i still have and it's only a little more than a month until the half marathon followed by the long-awaited trip to the philippines.
in my restlessness, i can't sleep thinking about tons of things (faith, family, friendships, the future...my mind might possibly burst.)
often, i ponder cities and lifestyle. you might think i'm crazy, but i must confess that it annoys me that i have to drive everywhere. call me a new urbanist, environmentalist, or what-not, but i would really prefer hopping on the bus/train/tram to work, walking home with a bundle of groceries. the bedroom community lifestyle might have been good for my parents, but for various reasons (regarding lifestyle, sustainability, diversity) it no longer has the appeal to me.
while we were chillin at rick's before going out for mark's bday, jae & kitty mentioned they'd marry a military man for the lifetime of healthcare and commissary benefits. i guess if i could make a comparable yet ridiculous statement, i'd marry a guy who had real estate in noe valley. =P
only a few people have taken up my offer to hang (and hardly anyone has taken up my offer to go for a run!). i'm seriously free...ALWAYS.
