Timer

I'm going a little bit stir crazy tonight. Whether it is because of the "storm of the century" making it seem impossible to do anything but stay in, or the fact that I am sick and have literally had three glasses on non decaffeinated green tea, either way, crazy I tell you. Besides, why waste time tomorrow when I can waste perfectly good time right now.

Typically when I am at this stage of insomnia and boredom, I would call someone, or smoke a cigarette, or do both at the same time. But this terrible chest pain and sore throat has me wanting to do neither and neither is what I have done for two days. The nicotine withdraw is killing me. But I said I was going to quit anyway to train for this marathon so I suppose now is as good of time as any. Besides I think it is killing me more that I cannot work out.

So I am a sucker for Independent romantic movies and I watched one tonight called Timer. It was about a company who found a way for you to be implanted with a timer that would tell you the exact day and time that you met the person you were supposed to be with. This all depended on whether or not your future husband/wife also had an implant, and if for whatever reason they did not, your time would not have gone off yet and you would be wandering around aimlessly wondering everyday if your soul mate that you knew was still out there was ever going to get a damn timer! It was a cute, made you wonder, kind of film. Perfect for a snowy evening, sick and alone with green tea and insomnia. Which got me thinking...would you get a timer? If you had the ability to know the exact day and time of the meeting between you and the person you would spend your life with, would you want to? Could you live with a blank timer on your wrist, just wondering if the day would ever come when your soulmate would want to know if you were out there as well? I had to think about this for a minute. I have wasted my fair share of time with the wrong men. But in retrospect, was it really all that bad? All that wasted time? Was it really even "wasted." I have met a lot of great people along this journey of life. I have had some great experiences and I am young and still hopeful for so many more. So would I really want a timer? Hell yes! I am just that noisy!

I'm going to go and read, do some more shopping online and dream of sea breezes and sandals as spring approaches (hopefully sooner than later)!
