thoughts from an overactive mind

this was written at some crazy hour in the morning several days ago... had to edit before I posted!

I've been bursting at the seams to write something for a little while now. Funny, though, I can't remember what it is I've been wanting to write...

So much has happened in the last two weeks - and yet so little, as well.

My last post kind of skipped over the YACtasticness of Young Adult Conference. wow. w-o-w. I have never had to come down from the mountain from YAC like this before (well probably NYAC 2004). Unfortunately my valley is here in Indiana. in my apartment. alone. ugh. Sorry Hoosiers, it still doesn't feel like home to me. and this whole having-the-place-to-myself thing - uncool. I'm not cut out for this. At least I was welcomed back to Richmond by our lovely group of GLEE fans - had it not been for that, I think I would have been uber depressed (or stayed in Cincy an extra day). Also super thankful for the road trip back with B, for many reasons, one being the wonderfulness of only having to drive half of the trip! thank you.

Next random thing I thought about blogging...creativity!

I'm a fairly creative person - I don't have the fabulous musical stylings of little sister M or crazy awesome artistic abilities of other sister H, but I can hold my own, I think. My brain thought up a new way of journaling (which I am reeaaaaally bad at doing, by the way): daily creative thoughts!

Creative thought #1 (8 June):

The positive side to a broken washer and 2 broken dryers in 1 house: a colorful bathroom draped in wet tie-dye :)

Creative thought #2 (9 June):

I want to squish these bugs together and make one that looks like the world :) Maybe I'll Gimp it someday...

The original title of my blog when I was dreaming it up in November of 2008 on a lonely night in Denver, CO (yeah - it's that specific, I can give you a date, too!) was "thoughts from an overactive mind" but I later settled on "more Mary, less Martha" more as a challenge to myself than anyone else. So the title's not for you (I know you're surprised), it's a reminder for me. Anyway back to the overactive mind (see how I can get sidetracked?! this is also apparent by the many, many parentheses in my posts)... the creativity journal is an attempt at letting you all into a little part of the craziness in my head. As I walk through life I really do have random thoughts like, "ohhh I want to squish these bugs together to make one that looks like a globe!" And then a smile comes across my face and people probably think I am crazy. I also sing in my head. a lot. which is why I am so in love with GLEE - it's what my life is like in my head: a musical

...and the daily creativity journal stopped the next day. I'm so good at habit forming...

end post.
