Picking Up the Pen Again
Posted by Rebecca Sun, 16 Mar 2008 19:40:00 GMT
The twenty-six days that have lapsed since I last posted have been interesting and would have likely made for some very intriguing posts.
Too bad I didn’t feel like writing.
See, I have this uncanny knack for taking simple things and creating pressure out of them. Like writing.
Writing is simple. I love it. When I put my mind to it, I write pretty well. And I have good ideas.
But my writing is never good enough for me. And I’ve come to terms with the fact that it’s never going to be. Because I’m slightly insane and have perfectionist tendencies. C’est la vie.
So instead of avoiding writing, I’m just going to proceed with vomiting words all over the internet like I used to.
Hmmm. Apparently I digress easily also.
Here’s a long rambling summary of the last 26 days of my life.
States of mind: Depressed, confused, pissed, frustrated, jealous, excited, content, exuberant, stifled, frightened, happy, peaceful, hateful.
Becky and I are moving into an adorable duplex not far from our current apartment. As a result, I’m damn near broke and loving how God keeps supplying all my needs. He rocks, as always. Like that time yesterday when He brought to mind my spare change jar that I keep in my room. The coin count revealed over a hundred bucks in change that I’m going to use to pay my emergency room bill from Christmas. Yay for not getting a nasty black mark on my credit record!
I’m trucking like the doo dah man once told me you got to play your hand. Sometimes the cards ain’t worth a dime if you don’t lay em’ down.
I love how Grateful Dead lyrics often fit my state of mind. Perhaps I should be scared instead.
Dom and I are doing well. Things are quickly going slow and I’m ever so excitingly frightened.
I’m enjoying not having a class. My head would be bald and scabby from me yanking out my hair by the roots if I was still in the class. And having to pack. And having to move. And answer hard questions about relationships. And study the book of Daniel. Talk about happy headache.
I’m wrapping up my spring break vacation which saw me driving to Big D and back to visit my sis, packing up most of my room, and hanging out with Caroline’s bridal party on Friday to figure out where we’re going to put the tables when we set up for her reception in May. I ate a lot of fried food on Fryday but apparently that’s ok because H. Werle told me I looked skinny today which pretty much made my week.
I’m still upset about my face. Not sure why it’s freaking out but plan to see a dermatologist for it after the move. When I have time and money again.
I voted in the primary. w00t!
I’m going camping over Easter and will be doing lots of geocaching because no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to rid myself of my nerdy tendencies.
I’m studying astronomy from a hebraic perspective. It’s been fun and enlightening. We’ll see how it turns out.
I affixed my TxTag to my car. Finally. After having it for two months.
My toenails got a fresh coat of paint yesterday, and the warm sunny weather confirmed to me that I somehow need to get a little tan. Because man, talk about pasty.
I met Heather Armstrong. She signed my poopie list. Thanks for helping with that, Caroline.
It’s been a great 26 days. I learned a lot, but apparently I never learned when to stop. ;)
