So Quiet ...
Sorry I've been kind of inactive lately. I've been feeling fairly anti-social and inarticulate since I came back home. I don't know why, it doesn't feel like I transitioned back into Baltimore very well. And going home to visit is really a strange process, its like slipping back into an old life one that you're really not in anymore but its still all close enough that you know you could slip back into it easily. It does feel occasionally like living two different lives, I was one person with my mother and another person now and when I go to visit her I become that old person again at least temporarily. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone or not, but its the best I can do. Helping to exacerbate that feeling is that I'm called by a different name at my mother's house, that definitely adds to feeling like two different people. :-)
So I've just kind of been vegging the last few days, letting my brain work through whatever the hell it needs to work through. Watching a lot of TV. Spend my New Year's watching the Twilight Zone marathon on Sci-Fi; I don't generally like old TV (especially old horror) but I wanted the chance to see some of those classic episodes you always hear about (I saw To Serve Man about twelve years ago, never saw any of the others). "My name is Talkie Tina, and I'm going to kill you," has become one of my new favorite cheesy lines, right up there next to "To Serve Man, its a cookbook."
It also seems lately like every time I watch one of my crime shows (Forensic Files, The Investigators, American Justice, etc.) they're always talking about cases I'm already familiar with. I'm not talking about episodes I've already seen, but cases I'm familiar with because I've read about them or saw an episode on a different show. Hasn't anybody been murdered that I haven't heard of? I mean, I know that my knowledge of the subject is frighteningly vast, but still I don't think I've heard of every murder that's ever taken place. Do something new, people!
I've have some New Year's resolutions I wanted to make (and I never do things like that, I kind of want to hit myself :-)). I decided at the grove Yule celebration that I was going to focus far more on spiritual development this coming year and perhaps for all the coming years; it is really the only thing I have in my life that means something to me, that I want to focus on and really build something out of. I wanted to set some goals for myself for the coming year and I'm still working out what those things are going to be. But when I do I'll post them here.
Weird feeling should be passing soon, then I can be more active again. And we all want that. :-)
