Today I am just hanging out by myself. Dana had to work this morning, which is weird. She normally has Sunday off. I like our Sundays. We lay around in bed for too long, then make breakfast and just hang out all day. It's ok though, she'll be back later.
Today I submitted her work to two places, and made the packet to mail to another. (Well I formatted it and she is printing it at work for us). I hope she gets published soon. I hate waiting lol and I know she is good. Someone just needs to recognize it.
If anyone knows of any literary magazines, online or elsewhere, that we should submit to, let me know.
I went grocery shopping yesterday. I like going grocery shopping. It is almost meditative for me. I like to stroll through the whole store and just look at stuff and people. an old lady talked to me yesterday. She couldn't read a package and had me help her. It was scary but cute.
I am trying to work on my social anxiety. I just have to keep telling myself that I've never been hurt by speaking to someone and that they don't wish me any ill will. I am just so wary and skittish. It is hard to overcome. Right now I am trying to learn to look people in the face when I talk to them. To try to make that connection. I am going to try really hard this semester in class. Both to prove to Dr.Chandler that I should be in this program, and to help myself.
Last night Dana and I made margaritas, well tried to. She had this Mezcal someone gave her and we tried using it. It was so gross. I touched my tongue to it, gagged, and spit it out. It tastes greasy, like motor oil, and it smells wretched. DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME KIDS!
Well Dana jumped on my request and asked me some questions. I answered the first two for her all ready so I thought id move to another one or two.
do you find that emoting is exhausting or revitalizing?
It depends on what is going on. Generally emoting is both. If I get something out it tires me but I feel better in the end. I get tired because it takes so much explaining and talking for me to feel like I have fully fleshed out whatever is going on. I normally feel like I have figured things out though or gotten a better handle on them anyway and so it revitalizes me.
If you had a choice between feeling emotionally hurt or physically hurt, which would you pick?
Thats a hard one. Physical pain tends to be shorter and not re occur the same way emotional pain does. But physical pain is hard to suppress and ignore, unlike emotional pain. I think I would go with emotional. At this point in my life I have been through a lot more emotional pain than physical pain, and I know i can handle it. I also know that emotional pain can be helped along whereas physical pain just kind of has to go on its own.
