78.

i am a queen of list-making.

i'm talking list-making mania, and when i am intensely busy my lists grow to include simple things like "Call Daddy" so I can feel the joy of drawing a single line through one of the day's tasks. this morning in this small cafe in Charleston, South Carolina i was thumbing through my old research notebook and stumbled upon this to do list:

1. write about the discourse of revolution
2. buy records
3. go camping
   

this may be my favorite to do list i've ever found. it was undated and in the back of my book which meant that these were long-term to do's with no deadlines. i have yet to do either of these and since finding it have transferred it into my current moleskin. my tiny one. the one with more long-term goals, southern phrases, books to read, authors to discover, and a list of swimming holes in the back.
