I'm doing alright. Lately I don't feel one way or the other long enough to coherently explain how and why I feel as such, so I'll just recall some random moments from the past couple weeks. They have to do with my time spent in downtown Boston, because life at home is boring and I've been slipping back into antisocial/avoidant/not talking to anyone mode (which I'm working on, but when I'm stressed and or unsure of myself I tend to fall back on solitary comforts):
I got to talk to a priest from South Boston and a student from Munich who is studying to become a priest. They were looking for a place to research the history of the clergy in South Boston. Both were very kind and I enjoyed talking to them, especially the student because he was cute and soft spoken and I was thinking "aw why do you have to be celibate, that's such a waste of sexiness!"
One of the guys whose job involves dressing like a colonial and educating people in character--they come into the gift shop to shoot the shit sometimes--is a die-hard Alice in Chains fan, which is awesome. We both got all excited about it and talked about AIC/Layne/that time period for a good 15-20 minutes for what was supposed to be a brief cigarette break. The guy is 29 years old and got to see Alice in Chains live a few times, which I'm jealous of.
Karen Chaney walked into the store unannounced to sign the copies of her her book, cause all the books in that series are supposed to be signed by the author and she hadn't had a chance to sign the batch we had. She, my co-worker and I got into talking about Lizzie Borden and true crime in general. It was a neat conversation. I'd never heard of Ms Chaney before, the woman isn't really famous or anything, but still it's not every day a Harvard Scholar walks into the room and exchanges thoughts with you. Well, unless you go to Harvard...
That's enough for one entry, I suppose. My classes begin tomorrow, but I'm kind of ambivalent about school right now...I don't know, and I'm not sure if I care ::shrug::
