The Moon was Huge Tonight.

I know, I know. That's what she said.

But really now.

It was absolutely gorgeous. So impressive that I was inspired to drive past my road, into town, and around the roundabout just so I could drive back with the moon filling the sky in front of me.
Trust me - those of you who are trying telepathically to yell at me about driving through town at 2 am alone because it is dangerous are so wrong - it was far more dangerous to drive forward while staring backwards. Yes, it was just that beautiful.

Be happy I didn't try to take a picture while driving.

Tonight was filled with philosophical conversations for me (with a little Immunology thrown in for shits & giggles). I'm not sure if I'm just too introspective right now, and am therefore expecting that of others. But it seems the people around me are seriously resistant to the idea of looking inside. How can we expect to build our lives, relationships, dreams if we have no idea who we are inside? If we're afraid to find out?

I've recently reconnected with a number of old friends from years past. The memories have made me quite nostalgic for the days when things were simple and happy and secure. A part of me would love to go back to sixteen years old: getting my license (ah, freedom), going to the prom (I had the best dress that year), looking forward to becoming a senior (and therefore invincible). But geez, I was so retarded in those days. I had absolutely no clue what possibilities were out there for me. If I had it to do again, the absolutely one thing I would change is to take more advantage of the opportunities that knocked. I missed out on a lot of possibilities due to fear and the fact that my priorities were so screwed up back then.

Perhaps one day soon I'll crawl out of my head and be content with the person I've become. Perhaps not. Stay tuned.
