I want to be 3


What a gorgeous day--I will make this short so I can go take a walk.
Do you ever just feel like lying on the floor and rolling around and screaming, but you aren't entirely sure why, and the feeling isn't either good or bad, but both? What is that feeling? Someone in a class described feeling like there are so many choices, yet he hates having so many choices. I wanted to yell and thrash at hearing that, so maybe the descriptor I'm searching for is "ambivalence"--that overused Mars Hill word that I swear I will have tattooed on myself before this is over...I have soooo much emotion roiling around in me, and I love and hate that. So can I just have a little tantrum and release some of it?
Actually, I did have an intense cry last night; it was somewhat of a relief after a week or more of feeling numb. Class was hard for me--Dan talked about parenting styles, and when he described "the sociopathic home", tears started dripping on my shirt. He nailed it. Yuck. But the sweet part was, I stopped him after class to ask him about something he wrote on my paper, and he was very kind. I have been sort of afraid of/pissy about him all year, so to actually see him as a fellow human was good. Things are stirring in me; I am thankful, scared, angry--ambivalent.

I say, walk down to the beach and throw rocks. If you hit somone, just shurg your shoulders like you dont know whats going on. Shoplifting used to make me feel better in my pre-christrian days.You could also join me on the beach for a Maragrita if you're game. You're always welcome under my palm tree :)

I will let you know the info on it soon--first I have to re-find it.

Dan is one of the stranger fellow humans I know...I wouldn't have favorite moments though if I hadn't gone to the very first office hour of his in the fall (before people start filling them up) and venting for about an hour.I think though that it is hard staying whole when everyone wants pieces of you. I am very happy to see him more rested generally than he was 3 years ago.

I keep thinking, "I want to get all my classes with him done before he has the heart attack I just know must be coming". I pray for him.
