7 days later…I finally finished “Into the Wild”. Intense movie, necessary to take breaks, but pretty amazing, all the same. Glad I held on to it until I had time to finish it.

Tolstoy quote in the movie that I had to share:

“I have lived through much, and now I think I have found what is needed for happiness. A quiet secluded life in the country, with the possibility of being useful to people to whom it is easy to do good, and who are not accustomed to have it done to them; then work which one hopes may be of some use; then rest, nature, books, music, love for ones neighbor, such is my idea of happiness.”

Beautiful sentiment.

And before I fall asleep, I have to add that I feel my funny coming back. I don’t know if it’s the lack of sleep or the fact that I actually talk to humans on a regular basis, but it’s returning.

And when I ran in to a work superior in the stairwell and he mentioned people raving about me, I couldn’t help but say “oh, about my great sense of humor?” He had a good laugh and said, “No…I think it’s about your work.”

I don’t care if it makes me sound conceited for sharing that. I’ve been working really hard and it was nice to get some positive feedback. And maybe my paranoia about getting fired and having to leave SF can die down a little.

Okay. Sleep time. Up too late chatting with IN peeps and feeling weird at the realization I won’t run in to them at work in the morning like I kept letting myself think I would.
