Realizing that I don't have to impress anyone has been the greatest relief of my life. I've always had this idea in my mind (what better place to keep an idea, after all) that I had to be the best at something, or that I couldn't let people down by choices I've made, or that I had to make other people happy with what I do.

It's not that I never knew that I didn't have to impress anyone... it's that I didn't actually REALIZE it. I've told myself for years that I live my own life, so I'll do what I want in it, but only now have I really accepted that as a truth. And it eases the mind more than any idea I've yet had.

I'm not really blonde. I was for a short amount of time, and I donated that picture to The Dane as my choice of how I would be seen for the main page-o-rama thing. I don't know why. I don't really look like that. And to be honest, I like my hair less blonde. So, I really don't know why I put that picture up.

Sorry for the lies for your eyes.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this: I've officially decided to start using classic cliches at inappropriate moments. Just because I can. Officially.

If you like Kevin Smith, then you love Clerks. (If you don't, see me after post for a firm punch in the throat.) You should know that the Clerks Tenth Anniversary DVD, titled Clerks X is finally available. Also, word on the street is that he's making a sequel to Clerks. Should be interesting.

Well go read the article, ay?

And also, seriously... go see Garden State. No, I don't care. Go. Go.

Go.

That's all there is to it. Also, I need some money, since you're offering.
