Twin Peaked

My life hit a tragic moment yesterday; I finished my favorite TV show.

I always fall for these shows that were cancelled too soon and therefor am inevitably heartbroken. Like the time I finished watching all of Arrested Development and wondered how I would live without seeing George Micheal's life develop any further. Now, there is no more episodes of Twin Peaks left for me, no more Billy Briggs and Shelly Johnson, no more Donna and James drama, most depressingly no more Agent Dale Cooper. The problem with fiction, whether it be TV or a book, is that it ends because it can't last forever. I hit this same emotion every time I finish a really good book and realize I can't go back to that world because it doesn't exist. This seems dramatic; I know. But don't you remember when you were reading The Great Gatsby and then it ended and you still wanted to talk to Nick just a little longer. Or when Lord of the Flies is over and nothing quite felt resolved. We get caught up in these wonderful worlds of optimal whit, romance, intrigue or whatever we seek but then have to remember that reality isn't that way. Boo.

Sam's coming this weekend, so I think I'll survive my withdrawal from Twin Peaks.

Have a good couple of days, smiles, Morgen.

Pumpkin frozen yogurt and planning a future

The weekend was spent mostly with my lovely roommate, and getting some good time to think about what I'm doing with my life. Friday afternoon was spent in Rittenhouse Square with pumpkin frozen yogurt. Can I just say how excited I am for everything to be pumpkin flavored for the next few months, I love it! I wandered around the West Philly/University City area for most of the day on Saturday, spending some quality time with myself and eating Indian food.

I finally did some hemming and started a scarf that Sam picked out the colors for, which I worked on all day yesterday while watching Twin Peaks after my homework was done.

This fall weather makes me feel a little more serious, like I need to be figuring something out and I need to have a plan. So I'm sure within the next few weeks I'll try to over-think it and plan my life out, which will undoubtedly change by next year. For now, I've come into my own as a Women's Studies major who is interested in gaining experience in sex-positive sex education. I'm hoping to start looking for internships soon. It's comforting to atleast have an idea to cling to as far as what I want to do.

Smiles, have a good week!
