being zen (nostalgically)

rhyllThere are a range of things that I am fretting about rather a lot at the moment, and I am trying quite hard to think about just the time I am in rather than getting caught up in worrying about the future. I need to work on my thesis, I need to be nice to people around me, but I do not need to get myself worked up into a panic by extrapolating a few weeks of unproductive time into my failure as an academic, or some current dramas into me ruining all friendships and dying alone and bitter. So I am concentrating on looking at the blue of the sky, the way it frames the leaves in King's Park as I cycle in to uni. The fresh, cold, air at night. Things that I can do right now that make me happy.
Also:
Last night I went out with friends, and we made up stories about who we were. I like that part of the evening best, I think. Dancing was fun, too, but I still haven't found a good place to dance where I like the music. For a while there was a band at The Library, and they played music it was fun to bellydance to. I had forgotten how much I enjoy bellydancing, even when people can see me.
Also:
There were pro-China protests in the city today, and they made me kind of angry. But I am also intrigued...I want to know why the people there think what they do, and who is organising them, and how they manage to hold up signs calling for 'fair media' without being overcome with irony.
Also:
I find myself wanting all the things I used to do in the beginning of the century, way back when. I have been wearing boots and taking myself on rambling missions through the city. I found a walkman, and I have been listening to my mixtapes from nina, who I have been missing a lot of late. Much of my time, these days, seems to be filled with wanting music.
That is all, I think.
