ups & downs

today was all over the map for me. i cannot divulge the biggest news of the day just yet, but when i do, hats will be flying through the air like mary tyler moore's. suspense, dear readers, makes the blog-o-sphere go 'round.
i recognized today that i am not going with my instincts with my revisions in writing -- i had a meeting with my ex-professor that was disheartening. (and when i say disheartening, i mean i am psycho-sensitive. and when i say psycho-sensitive, i mean i am not great at taking criticism.) i revised the fuck out of my work and didn't believe in what i was doing and of course it didn't pan out.
it's so hard to know when to stick to your guns and when not to! is that what i am meant to be learning here?
i then ran four shitty miles at the gym, which is the only place lately where i am not being chased by scary dogs who want to tear my sneakers and my dog to bits.
in thinking about last night with bob, i realised that it was just like old times in the best way (not in the we-are-subsisting-on-day-old-pastries kind of way). he has reestablished himself as essential in my life with the tenacity of a barnacle: so funny and fun and inspiring and smart and sassy. (is it ok to call a man sassy?) he is proposing a 33&1/3 concept soon so cross yr fingers that they see his greatness. go, bob, go.
