Traffic Thoughts: Tears and Fears

Posted by liana in Los Angeles

On the 10 east, heading home. Yes, I am crazy and take photos while driving.

  • I haven’t been able to think much during traffic for the past couple weeks because it’s been actually pretty good. I’m sure it has everything to do with Spring break and absolutely nothing to do with the way Angelenos drive.
  • What I have been thinking about and actually doing is contacting magazines, newspapers and other various publications about freelance work. I have one copy editing stint and article coming up, which I couldn’t be more ecstatic about, but getting editors to email back is like pulling teeth sometimes. I know, because I am one.
  • The cultural studies section of the bookstore is now my new favorite section.
  • I’m excited about Easter, and that excitement has absolutely nothing to do with the religious connotations, but more with the fact that I get to dye and paint eggs.
  • Taxes went well for me this year, which was  a relief from the arm and leg I had to pay last year.
  • Every time my shoes come into close contact with another animal, be it dog or cat, rest assured, I will find Henry marking his territory on them if I leave them on the floor.
  • Sometimes I wish I was working at a bakery.
  • Other times, like this week, I write and read to keep from crying.
  • I saw a license plate that said “foolery” today. It was awesome.
  • What I want for my future and what will be my future might be two different things, and that scares me.
  • When I hear stories about animals having to be given up at shelters because of the recession, I can’t help but get teary-eyed.
  • I am afraid that there will be a big earthquake in Southern California soon.
  • I’m also afraid about the state of journalism.
  • I wish my thoughts were longer than a sentence.
