new slang

its amazing, really, how restless i get and how quickly i get there.
and i like to think that i'm at least a generally rational person. i mean i make my big leaps and i have my huge "emily what are you thinking?" moments and i get hung up on situations i probably shouldnt, but still. wow. sometimes.
the only other places where i've really felt this way were at camp and in israel. and in those instances, i had a group of people with me who were equally restless. my mismatched gang of causeless rebels who also were inclined to create a 3-D fake fire or make a lanyard or dye my bangs superhero red or play Most Likely To or draw with pudding on our front porch or dance in the rain. these activites made sense because we were going-out-of-our-minds bored with all things conventional. my restlessness here results in much less productivity. in all honesty, its usually more along the lines of watching top chef or window shopping online.
i dont know. its the new year. i'm never one for resolutions, mostly due to the aforementioned restlessness. that isnt to say that i dont follow through on things, but i dont like the forced something-news. i like playing things out and seeing how they work.
in the next four weeks, i'm going to new york, toronto, and boston. hopefully some adventure and change of scenery will help.
