Technology is the elaborate scaffolding I've put in place to prevent myself from failboating.
That sounds so much better than "my adulthood is a long con".
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Putting your purse on the floor doesn't twig me, but putting your LUNCH on the floor rather than your desk? That's strikes me as rude.
That's fair - even if I moved something off a chair, I'd put lunch up on the desk.

IDK, Zen, "my adulthood is a long con" has a ring to it. But who is the mark? And what is the score?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When it comes to adulthood I zig wildly between imposter syndrome and trying too hard

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I bet if you tried harder, you could pull off both at once.
Or at least make people think you did.
Actually, I've heard you unlock a special achievement if you do that, so I've been kind of low-key working on it.

Heh.
Crazy Ex-girlfriend just reminded me I need to get my car smogged, so I will be all kinds of adult and look up where I need to go for that now. When I will actually get it done is another question, but, hey, single step.

I sometimes wonder how life would be if I actually did all the things I thought I should but don't. Like, today I got to Fresno at 11am. What it belatedly occurred to me I should've done: plan a quick trip to the national park for a few hours! What I actually planned to do: a couple hours work, work out. What I did: napped for two hours, ate too much at whole foods, shopped for shoes.

The show or a person? I'm trying to parse this phrase.
I'm now down to 17 miles before the end of the month. I can do this. Maybe.

The show.
That sounds like a lot of miles, but you have been getting through a lot of miles so far. Good luck hitting the number in time!

After a crap professional day, opened the random package that appeared in the mail. "A Singularly Unfeminine Profession: One Woman's Journey in Physics" by Mary Gaillard, an autobio. Pretty sure dad is the sender. Aw, dad.
