Break!
I is on break. I has 2 weeks. I don't know where the first one went.
Last week: Thursday- am: MRI (managed not to have a panic attack) pm: Neurologist thinks the brain is looking better. PT puts me through all my normal paces. God I hate stairs.
Friday- Other neurologist tells me new meds may make me gain weight. Gah. Mom and psychiatrist agree to reorganize my life to have more therapy (but since that includes more art, I'm happy) Now we just need to get the administration to ok it. Matt and I embark on an epic quest to Oberlin!
Oberlin:
1 Mapquest says it is an 8.5 hour drive. Its supposed to be basically driving into a snow storm.
2 The instant we leave Vassar (an hour late, my fault) it starts to rain.
3. Matt is morally opposed to anyone being a)faster than him or b) in his lane.
4. At 85mph in the blinding rain (when we got to Ohio, there was snow and the wipers froze) it takes about 7 hours plus stops to get to Oberlin.
5. We hang out at Yoshi's house, meet some people, then crash on their couches.
6. Sleep is followed by trudging through 2 feet of snow, and its still coming, and nasty horrible wind, to breakfast. Then circus.
7. Their balancers win. They teach us drills for 3-high. YAY. (death is imminent, but not mine, as I will be the boost-base/spotter and Matt is to be the idiot with 2 (insane) people on him)
8. WE buys some booze (crap wine) and then Food FTW. First legal alcohol purchase!!!
9. Amazing band. we drew on walls in sharpie. dancing like maniacs. Shirtless-o-wait-Grey-thinks-its-naked-time!
10. Blue scholars. Not my favorite music, but ok, and the breakdancers rocked. The DJ was awesome, and technically very good too. They have lighting up the wazoo, but the VJ sucked. They have a cage to dance in.
11. Charades!
12. Matt's car towed? No. But frozen. eventually hot water fixes. We leave 5 hours late.
13. Epic quest for Vassar. Matt almost gets a ticket (79 in a 65) about 20 minutes in. we drive at a reasonable speed (read 75, not 85) for the next 6 hours. Then Matt gets over it.
14. Crash at his house. then "berliner" at 3:30 the next afternoon when we get up. Acrop= delicious. Train home.
Since I've been home I have: eaten real food. Slept. DLed Paralyzer and A Praise Chorus. Cut up some magazines. Had several delicious baths. Fought my email server and lost. twice. watched too much bad TV.
My phone is out, and so is my email. you can call the house 637 8987 or wait for me to fix one of the two.
I want to make art, but most of my stuff is at school. I should go in to the HS, say hi to people and whatever, maybe borrow some stuff from Schomber. I need to work on my set but I don't have functional Live! must fix that soon.
I have no motivation. All i want is to sleep and zone out to bad TV. fuck. I finally have time and I cant get myself to use it.
