I've been having a lot of random thoughts lately. None of them amount to enough for a blog entry in themselves, but they're still worth mentioning. I might expand on some of them later, but for now I just need to get them out of my head.

* Grey's Anatomy is by far the best show ever. Yes, even better than Friends.

* The one thing that feels better than giving in to the pain is facing it and getting through it.


* Time heals all wounds, but some wounds take a lifetime to heal.

* Girls can be crueler than guys, and in fact, they often are.

* Girls can be more comforting than guys, too.

* Every single word in the lyrics to Hung Up by Madonna. Yeah, it's corny, but it's so, so true for me right now.

* Being sad all the time isn't all it's cracked up to be. Why be sad when you can be happy?

* Running feels better now than it ever has. (More on this later.)

* It's really shallow, but after years of hating my hair, I finally love it.

* Facebook is the best way to waste time. If you know what it is, you know what I'm talking about. If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's best you don't know. Your productivity would go down drastically.

* The cream cheese mashed potatoes will taste better than ever this year at Thanksgiving.

* Some people just don't know what they have until it's gone.

* I didn't get the office I wanted in my sorority, but it's okay. Now I can do what I've always wanted. England, here I come!

* Working on Friday and Saturday nights really sucks.

* Two hours at a coffee house with a good friend is better than two hours at a beer party with people I barely know. In other words, alcohol doesn't equal fun. Not all the time, anyway.

* Catholicism has set me back when it comes to religion. Right now, ten years at a Catholic school has done more harm than good. I expect that to change in the future, but at the moment, religion just isn't for me. God most certainly is for me, but religion is not.

* I love my friends and I know they love me, but I've done something to distance myself from a few of them. I don't know what it was and I don't know what I have to do, but I need to fix what I've broken. The sad thing is, I have no desire to get back to the way things were. Why is that?

* I feel too sheltered. I want to experience more of life, the good and the bad. I'm making decisions now that I know might end badly, but I know the consequences and I'm prepared to deal with them. Don't try to protect me. It will only increase my desire to go against what you think I should do.

* Listening to music is one of the best experiences.
