I'm sitting here with a half smile on my face. Just sitting here. And there is no real reason I should be smiling.

Just saw Garden State after waiting forever. Worth the wait. I really enjoyed it. Bits of it made me laugh really hard. And bits of it made me cry. I won't spoil it for anyone. But go see it (just to warn you there is some sap involved - not chick flick sap - more indie chick flick sap if that's even possible). Anywho. Two thumbs right up. Plus the soundtrack is just great.

There was a line that was said in the movie a a few times. Basically the just was - this is life. What you're doing right now. Procrastinating or eating marshmallows or whatever. There's nothing to wait for, this is life baby, and you're in it. So just do want you want to do or what makes you happy or feel good because why the hell not. And it totally just hit me. Even though it's pretty damn simple. I think I forget that sometimes. I plan out things that are coming up in a week or a month or a year or whatever. What about right now? That's life. I think my goal for post-university (I realize that's being hypocritical because I'm planning not to plan - sue me) is going to be just that. Live life just the way it is and be happy about it. Live where you want when you want doing what you want and it that doesn't work - who cares. Because this is all we get.

Well this smiley girl is going to bed. Finally.
