Care to dance?

So this is why I love New York: Ballsy people.

So S and I were walking home after dinner and a trip to Ricky's on a hunt for Gwen Stefani-red lipstick and possibly some wigs, and as we crossed the street, there were two guys heading toward us. I quickly skirted to the right to avoid them, but S got a little caught, and stutter-stepped with this guy, who, when he realized she was a looker (which she is), said to her, 'Would you like to dance with me?' She laughed, and replied 'No thank you'..and then as I turned to see his reaction, he stopped in the middle of the crosswalk, and said, "I mean, I took ballet!" It was cute. And charming, and not at all creepy--snaps for having the courage to have a little harmless fun on a Sunday evening.
Ah...New York, Je t'aime.

I go walking in my sleep...in the middle of the night

thoughts to ponder:
why you ever begin to question the circumstances of your life, especially when you know that you have contributed in some way to be in the place, in that time. and then why you feel the need to question whether you are deserving of such circumstances...and what that might say about you....

i wonder as I wander...so many papers to grade, but it's a long night tonight, and I'll be lucky if I get through half of its, since there are about 4 letters that I would rather be writing, and people I would rather be emailing. and rooms that I would rather be cleaning.

why my apt is cold--to the point where I can't feel my fingers (although that doesn't take much)...it's when my nose gets cold...that's when I know, it's cold in herrrr....

the sacredness of life, the value and impact of knowledge on one's life; watched this film called, "Everybody's Fine" this weekend. cried my eyes out, possibly because on one level, there is a real overlap between the character situation that Robert DeNiro plays and his actual self; and because that part of my life seems to be happening now--where I worry about my parents, about the state of their health and well-being...it left me conflicted about whether to tell them to watch the movie--because of what they might get from it--(coming from me) hopefully it would be all the good things, and all that I want to not do, or all that I want to change. but here I am...still conflicted..

and then I flipped on the tv to two movies: The proposal, and Because I said so. Both are movies that I love...for two reasons: Ryan Reynolds and Gabriel Macht. I won't go on in detail, but both are actors who convincingly play their roles and perhaps, possess to a certain extent, characteristics that I hope for in a man.

anywho. lost in the middle of a silent and unconscious night; where productivity and awareness are held both in questionable existence and significance....
