minor update
Things that are going on in my life:
I got rid of my car! Major goal accomplished!
I am moving in with my girlfriend, Grace. I am very excited about that!
Related: I am also excited because when I get my deposit back from the current apartment, I plan to go a little nuts at ikea. I need a new dresser and a new desk and, if I have money left over I will probably get a new PC.
More serious: I have decided to see a therapist. I get angry/irrational/paranoid too easily. I had problems with these things as a teenager and I thought it had just kind of gone away but I see now that these things actually resurfaced a couple years ago but I convinced myself that it was living alone in Arkansas, my general isolation, etc that was the source of my problems... of course, now that I live in Chicago and have friends I see on a regular basis, I guess I can't tell myself that my weird moods are due to 100% external causes... so I guess I should talk to a doctor? I made this decision months ago. It's time to actually do something about it because I don't want to be a jerk anymore!
Also! I haven't been listening to much music lately for a combination of reasons... I know it's weird but I never got very comfortable in my current living space. What's that got to do with music? I don't know. They seem connected to me? That and failing PC hardware and multiple reformats made it a pain to access my collection. For whatever reason I have hardly listened to any music at all lately and that's gotta change!
Lastly! I have gone pretty batty for muppet show/sesame street-related stuff the last few weeks. I want to get some little action figures (to put on my new desk?) but the ones I like are made by this company called Palisades who I guess went out of business like 3 years ago! So they're all kinda over-priced! Oh well!
