What Would Jane Do?

What would Jane have done?

Would she have walked across the street?

Would I?

I'm watching The Jane Austen Book Club right now. I just finished Becoming Jane.

I don't think Jane would have gotten to the street in the first place.

I think I wouldn't have gotten there...but for a different reason. I wouldn't have gotten there because I would have done the sensible thing.

Shiny, New Shoes

The bare necessities of life. For most people, the list goes something along the lines of the following: food, water, shelter, sleep, minimal clothing...

...for me? It's a little skewed: A closet full of shoes, bags, clothes, and accessories, water, a good treadmill, and my IPod.

If there is a pair of shiny, new pumps in the window of my favorite store, I will literally go for months without grocery shopping just so that I can afford them when they finally go on sale.

I usually go to bed around 2:00 a.m. - 2:00 a.m. wouldn't be too bad if I didn't get up until class time. However, that's not how my life works. My alarm tends to go off sometime around 6:00 a.m. each morning...the Health Beat's fabulous machines and I tend to be inseparable during the early morning hours of facility operation.

Water seems to be the only unarguable necessity shared by both my life and those of normal people.

I find that fact only semi-disturbing.
