Blogging Twice in One Week

Blogging is kind of like smoking cigarettes. You can't just have one. And since I've stopped smoking the damn things I've found myself searching for just the right replacement. Oh God, I just want a cigarette. I'm like a pathetic lovesick girl who can't stop herself from mentioning her crush every five minutes. I can't go five minutes without telling some pointless story about cigarettes. "You think Meryl Streep deserves an Oscar for The Iron Lady? Oh my God, that reminds me of that time I smoked a cigarette while watching a The Hours! *gazes wistfully into the distance daydreaming of all the cigarettes I have known and loved*"

Here's the thing about quitting - at first, you think you're superwoman. I'm not addicted. Who needs cigarettes? Life is grand. I feel great. I'm a whole new woman. This is the beginning of a beautiful new life. Look out world! Then, you realise that you've started drinking an extra five cups of coffee a day and can't go a day without a dozen sugary snacks. So you decide to cut back on coffee and candy...and then the world comes crumbling down around you. Suddenly you can't focus, you're constantly on edge, you have a neverending headache, you've become a tornado violent emotions. I've been taken to old episodes of Grey's Anatomy and sobbing myself to sleep. I am a wreck.

But I'm blogging.

Currently, I am sitting in Starbucks. I got one of the coveted armchairs by the window and I intend to stay here all afternoon. The sun is blinding me but it'll move eventually and when it does I will still be here reading about John Donne and trying not to think about cigarettes.

Also, Emma Watson and her friends were sitting in front of Spencer and me last night in the movie theatre. We saw The Iron Lady and it was fantastic. I couldn't help but lust after Emma's scarf, though. She looked very cute. Although I definitely feel a little bad for how long it's taking her to grow out her hair. I mean, she's still gorgeous with short hair but you can tell she's trying to grow it out and it's probably very difficult.

Ok. That's really all I have to say today. See why I don't blog regularly? Maybe blogging should be my new replacement for cigarettes...
