Things are going well
Apartment is all sorted out. I'm moving in less than a month (no exact date yet) to the apartment directly beside me. It's a one bedroom instead of the two I'm in now, and they're almost done renovating it already, which means as soon as they're done, I can move over. So that could be next week for all I know (but I doubt it. I'm sure I'll get more warning than that).
I am "ugh"ing about packing because I want to cut down all my belongings to as little as I can (I'm fighting pack-rat-ness) and it's more than a little overwhelming. But, I woke up today and went about sorting out my entire second bedroom into books, computer, office, child care, misc. paper to sort through, empty containers and resource books. Feel pretty good about all that. Now just....everything else. X_X
I've read a couple of Big Bang's recently, and I really enjoyed them. The one I read yesterday (in one swoop, lol) was...Lay Yourself Down, Next To Me....or something? I'll have to find my iPad to remember the title. But it was great. Basically a story of Sam being turned to a vampire as a result of following one of Dean's orders, Dean's despair after, Sam's determination to get Dean to leave him alone, and overall it's just awesome.
I really freaking want to get my tattoo. I'm soooo freaking close. So close. A month, or two maybe. As soon as my Visa is paid off. *bounces*
I'm itching to write more, but I'm afraid to dive into any of my previous works (like what I was going to do for the Spn_J2 BB) because those will take a while and I need to focus on packing now, and it potentially won't be good for school--when it starts again. So I'm thinking little things now.
As for the Reel Pride...I don't know what's going on. David responded to me talking about how he thought Carman and Derek were just giving up and not giving anyone a chance, and he appreciates that I've been trying and he doesn't want to see the festival end. But then I think...what does he do for us? He reviews films, and he has a lot of knowledge in his head, and he signs as a secondary person on checks. He doesn't order films, he doesn't talk to PR people or whatever, he doesn't manage finances, he doesn't organize bookings or reach out to even the U of M paper or clubs (and he works at the U of M). So, yeah, sure--yay I have someone who would back me up to keep it going. But, how much will he really back me up?
So I'm back to 'I don't want to see it die if I could have tried' versus 'I don't think I can do this'. I'm feeling pulled a little too thin in every direction, and maybe dropping something is what I need. But then, I won't have much of a tie to the community anymore, I won't get to see films... I don't know. Just, frustrated. A lot.
I'm going to go cook myself supper.
Maybe ask Resident Manager (Eve) if she'll let me see how my suite's doing. Mostly, I want to see how big the freezer space is on the fridge, because then I might be able to consider getting rid of this apartment size freezer. It takes up a lot of room, and frankly, lets me store shit forever and I don't need that. But I do need something that can hold pizza, ice cream and frozen left overs / lunches. Hmm...
