Choosing Figs | Neurotic as Hell | A Travel, Lifestyle, and Life List Blog

I guess there was a lot more penis.

Friday night I met up with Nadia and Bryan. We went to IHOP for pancakes and then went to see Zack and Miri Make a Porno. I actually found the movie to be both hilarious and sweet. Yeah…it made me cry. Is it a bad sign though that this movie which was basically supposed to be rated NC-17 didn’t really phase me as being that bad at all? I mean, I guess there was a lot more penis than most movies. But whatever.

Thursday I watched Everything is Illuminated because Jeff told me to. It was really good but confusing so I think I have to watch it again. It probably wasn’t confusing but I have a tendency to forget to pay attention when I am watching movies at home. I didn’t even realize that the guy in it was the guy from Gogol Bordello until afterwards when I looked it up. And I so want to find a sunflower garden and live there. Or at least visit and take pictures.

And some random musings…

I feel like I’m walking on eggshells.

My nose ring was in too tight and I woke up and it was kind of sucked in a bit and so I pried it out and now the hole in my nose is bleeding. I’m sure you needed to hear that.

I hate the stupid things banks do to try to keep your account secure but also guarantee that you can’t access your account yourself. I’m trying to access a credit card account online but it won’t let me through unless I tell it my safety word. I don’t think I have one of those.

Thanks to Target and the internet I got most of my Christmas shopping done today.

I don’t know how to buy clothes for babies. And I have to realize that I can’t buy a boy cute pink things.

Apparently the camera I ordered is being sold in China. I want mine now! It’s supposed to start shipping at the end of November. But there is no guarantee that I will be in the first shipment. I want to take my 20 megapixel pictures and take HD video 🙁

Everyone who reads this should leave a comment with two things you think I should do/see/experience in my lifetime. Gogogo.

Hi, I'm Val. I spent most of my 20s in a standstill, unable to pick which path in life I wanted to take. I wanted the nomadic life of a traveler but also wanted the husband, the condo, and the kitten. Unable to decide which life I wanted more, I did nothing. When I turned 30 I’d had enough of putting my life on hold and decided to start “choosing my figs.” So, I quit my job, bought a one-way ticket to Europe, and traveled for three years. Now I'm back in Chicago, decorating my apartment in all the teal, petting my cats, and planning my next adventure.

    Chris, I agree.
    Sid, I agree with seeing India. Deep Sea Diving…let’s just say I am terrified of heights and I would jump out of a plane before I went diving. But I guess that makes it a good thought.

    I accidently went and saw the christmas trees with you. It was purely by accident though. I had class at the museum and when i got there i inadvertantly walked into a huge christmas tree exhibit. i’ll still go back though, i get in for free.
    it was pretty.
    in other news, my most annoying nose ring thing is when the post gets covered in boogers and snot,a nd then when i try to take my ring out i have to pull it all out through my nose ring.

    Well…I DO want to go to Australia…
    It’s Ok Heather. You can never see the trees enough!
    And yeah, I’ve had that happen with my nose ring. It’s kinda gross. Right now I took mine out because it was hurting. But I think I need to put it back in so it doesn’t heal up and close.
