quite contrary
hello lj
how are you?
that's very nice.
oh, me? i am ok.
well, i am, but also i am not.
i haven't been away, although it seems i've been ignoring you. actually, i have been reading every day. but not commenting or posting. i have been caring from afar. lurking a little, hoping for a new update from someone every time i hit the "refresh" button, but choosing not to post until now.
how am i okay and not okay? well... i've been surviving the summer financially, though my bank balance grows ever smaller. i have been enjoying the time spent with dan, though i haven't been taking the opportunity to spend time with other people, as i probably should. i have no motivation, and i get down on myself for not being creative. i have read some books, that's a plus. i have also gotten to do some random things - spent a week in point reyes at the hostel, attending a salmon workshop, getting poison oak, meeting some cool teachers. spent a week commuting to sonoma to teach a morning outdoor art class at the community center. sometimes it was fun, sometimes it was a hassle. on the last day, which was friday, dan came with me and after class we went out to lunch and then went wine tasting. we spent too much money on wine, then dan drove us home.
since i am not spending my time at home being creative or cleaning the house, you must wonder what i have been doing with myself... besides lurking on lj that is. and the obvious answer is ... lurking on facebook! and watching shows on hulu all day. i've decided that i'm getting fat, i've been craving a malt and a cheeseburger, and i've been dying to go on a walk, a hike, a bike ride or SOMETHING but instead of doing anything i just lay here pathetically. i want to go on a hike today but i'm not sure i will as my toe hurts. but i think if i go on a hike i will feel okay about getting that malt...
in any case, that is what's going on with me.
next week i will be in Maine, visiting some family and also some parks, so perhaps my urge to range free in the wilderness will be met even if i can't motivate myself to do it on my own...
okay, for now i am finished.
