I got on to update. It's the first time I've looked at this stuff in weeks. And what happens? I get sucked into theremin videos. Thank you Meta.
The only other things that I've really been able to do is stare at my doppelgangers on okcupid. Yeah, I got an account on there. Specifically so that it would store the results of the fun test you can take on there and I wouldn't put them on here creating a cascade effect that takes about a month to run through the system before everyone I know and everyone they know and then on down the line are done taking that test, or tests as it may be. So it's all on there now. Well, okcupid "rates" you compared to other users, so I can see other people, male and female who are like me. I'm most interested in the males, because I've never really thought of myself as being remarkably like other men.
Well, it's addictive, because you find out you're "less kinky," "more adventurous,or "more trusting." But they've been deemed "like me." It's quite odd really. A physics professor, a fiction writer, and me, a graduate student in government sharing something on a deep level. I somehow doubt it. Although the physics guy does have a beard. Oh, one guy that's "like me" is 5' 3''. I suppose I could introduce him to my midget friends that live in the cabinets. Crazy.
So, this will be my only mention of the last two to three weeks. After this it shall be gone. Sirin and Sandy are both gone. Two for one deal I suppose. I'll be moving to Albany, Omaha, NYC, D.C., or Pitt soon, so it doesn't really matter because I've got four or so years there to make new friends and start a real life that doesn't involve high school or college as such.
The thing I'm most looking forward to is the hope that Annie and I can go hang out with people. Hopefully whatever new job she gets won't be as stressful and time consuming and we can share friends like we did in college and go out to bars and such as groups.
Part of me hopes for NYC and the New School, because I know those students will be most like me. But Albany seems so nice and cheap, and a good place to live. So does Pitt. Who knows where I'll end up, but wherever it is, at least I'll be there.
