A Word A Day Keeps the Dr. Away: twiddle one's thumbs

2/1/11

twiddle one's thumbs

twiddle one's thumbs: to pass the time by twirling one's thumbs, to wait or idle.

I have officially finished all my applications to the rest of my life (i.e. grad schools and the Air Force). Big huge sigh of relief. ahhhhhh.

Now all I need to do is sit and wait, wait till April, then May, then June 2nd to hear back and then formulate the plan that will be my life. What a weird place to be in. Sitting her twiddling my thumbs.

Eat My Words

I was once prescribed to keep a journal. I was told, write anything down- mundane occurrences, incoherent thoughts, complete nonsense- ramble on and on if I must. I did such and quickly found "what a power there is in words; later for those who hear them, but first for the one who finds them; a healing power, a solution, like the breaking of a barrier" [ayn rand]. I learned that "it helps to write it down even if you then cross it out" [nada surf]. I mean, think about it...most great authors wrote from a place of pain, their words laden with suffering, but through this inked art form I would like to think that a shred of health and sanity was salvaged just by sharing their words. and to that I dedicate this blog.
