I don't really do enough with my life right now to warrant having a journal, but I'm reassured by this quote:
Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.
-Tallulah Bankhead
+My life has finally started making the gradual transition from borderline degenerate to somewhat managable.
+I'm still learning French,
-but I'm still quite terrible. I have a lot learn.
-I was hoping to rekindle the meaning to old words by learning a new language. I'm slowly realizing it doesn't quite work like that.
+I've seen quite a few movies in the last few weeks. How I've missed them!
-I still smoke
-I still like smoking.
+Starting eating healthy again, and it's not too bad.
-I feel healthy.

After looking over my (lack of) posts over these few years, I noticed a common theme--"It's been awhile since my last post."
I'm hoping to break that theme starting with this post.
in English
Recently my cousin died. He was a year younger than I. I suppose the gap will increase steadily with time. It's been about a week since it happened, but I'm still largely unsure of how I feel about the situation.
en français,
Je m'ennuie tous le temps, et pourtant je ne sais pas quoi faire.
auf Deutsch,

I feel so disconnected from the world and the people in it.
I'm tired of being merely content to get through the day.
I feel like it's time to start a new livejournal; I feel like it's time to start a new chapter in my life.

It seems as if I've forgotten how to micromanage (and macro) my time.
I'm not very good at dealing with free time, but at the same time I hate being overwhelmed. It seems like there is a delicate balance between the two that so much of my happiness depends on.
The last few days (in particular, my five day holiday from work), I've spent so much time waiting---and not just for others.
Waiting for people to get off work,
Waiting for the movie to start,
Waiting for work to start,
Waiting to feel motivated,
Waiting for a response.
I like interactivity, especially those that require no waiting. That may be why I'm so attracted to my trivial pursuits.
Interacting (meeting) with new people is funny, and by funny, I mean strange. The most frustrating and probably the most rewarding aspect is figuring out what a particular person actually means by a given action or statement.
"We judge others by their actions and ourselves by our motives"
As easy as it'd be to use myself as a frame of reference from which to judge(1), I realize that other people have different circumstances are at a different place in their life. This isn't the first time I've considered the question of people's motives.
(1) I.e. The only motive I can think of that'd cause me to do an action must be their motivation
