It has been exactly one month since I woke up and asked myself, “now what?”; I am no closer to an answer, although the shooting pains in my knees do seem to have disappeared.

Okay, the holidays are over. The rest of the world has made its resolutions and taken its aspirin, purchased and planted spring bulbs, begun planning the Chinese New Year menu and has decided it’s moving forward with or without you.
You’re either on the bus or you’re off the bus.
Further.
/end tough love/

I’ve been off the bus for years. Somedays I still smell the diesel fumes of it driving away, but they’re growing fainter with time.

Honey, I’ll tell you what I told my ex-boyfriend when he was 18. “I just don’t know what I want to do with my life” he said to me. “Get used to that feeling. I’ve never known and I still don’t. I’m fairly sure that I’ll never be completely confident. But at some point, you just make an educated guess and see what happens.”
But be sure of one thing, you may not know what to do now, but soon you are going to Paris.

Having just spanked ‘mouse offline for the tough love, I realize, with no small amount of sheepishness, that I defined my terms sloppily en sentence. (Sorry, ‘mouse.) It’s true that I’m no closer to an answer, but that’s certainly not for lack of activity. There’s certainly plenty of aspirin-taking and bulb-planting going on; it’s just not leading to an easy conclusion—or an easy answer to the original question.
Or, as I told ‘mouse in the aforementioned offline spanking, you can always take the train. Specifically, the Metro or the RER. ;)

I like it when she spanks me!
Seriously, I only took the liberty of needling you based on your original sentence because I know what you wrote is patently false. You have done a lot, and you are much further along in the process than you claim (or even feel).
'mouse on 01/11/08 at 04:27 PM ::
Well, I wouldn’t call it “patently false.” “Insufficiently nuanced” is more like it.
(So ready for law school now. heh. :)

of course you are closer to an answer. what you mean is you don’t have the answer in hand, which is not the same thing at all, and is a good thing because if you did, you would be dead. perhaps you are searching for something that, if actually found, would not prove convenient at this time? enough with the searching, just continue doing.
loading pictures for and from the past two years up on ravelry (and also on the picasa web pages that i hadn’t realized were loading pictures for me before molly sent the link) has proved instructive: i look at all that stuff and it is work, and i say “damn! me!” perhaps your own blog archives might perform the same service for you.
i swear to you: if, two years ago, anyone had told me i would now be writing this comment i would have thought them mad and disconnected from reality, but it would have made no difference for here i am, writing it.
oh, and: go to paris.
