Mind Over Matter
So I was sitting around playing Diablo II (what a surprise, to those who know me personally) and my poison ivy was really bothering me. I'm out of Aveeno (the really good skin cream I've been using), and I can't really take Benadryl until I'm about to go to bed.
So I was sitting around, being really itchy and uncomfortable, and then I thought to myself ... "it's really just mind over matter. My mind convinces my body that the itching doesn't matter." That's what I'm trying now. It's not easy, but it's effective.
I went to Best Buy tonight, in search of the Massive Attack album Mezzanine, and ran into Roach tonight (his real name is Steven Roche, but I've called him Roach basically since I met him). He works at BB, and went to school with Jesse, my ex-girlfriend. He informs me that Jesse applied at Best Buy today. Since Jesse and I are pretty much estranged at this point (long story, e-mail me if you really want it), seeing her is not something I'd be comfortable with. Since BB is the l33t computer gear/CD shop around here, I don't want to have to go there and duck her. I really don't want to have to go there and duck her.
Anyway ... so I bought Mezzanine (which, so far, is pretty amazing), and walked over to Linens & Things to see Sarah; she works there. It was a really nice thing, 'cos I'm so used to hanging out with Sarah in a group, with Paul and Karl. They're all really good individuals, but all I usually get to see is their "group" personalities.
So I sit here, mind over matter, listening to Massive Attack, plotting how I'm going to get my W2 forms together in time to finish my fin.aid application and not go insane in the process. Mind over matter, indeed.
