From the little cave of my bedroom...
I think I've officially become a hermit. I don't know what it is other than financial crap, but my drive to go out isn't what it used to be. I haven't seen most of my friends in forever and they're starting to call to find out where I am. I think it's a combination of good books and no money. Now the good books are starting to run out, but the money isn't coming in any quicker.
So to continue my state of isolation, anyone have any good book recommendations? I'm looking for stories (true or fictional) that I can get completely lost in. I'm talking losing sleep here... Give me something good!
This weekend I'm most likely going out to Long Island to visit my amazing grandparents. I haven't been there in a while and I'm driving out with my great aunt. I'm hoping for possible kite flying with my grandma and going on Grandpa's boat. They help me stay sane a lot of the time because I think more than anyone else in my family, they are my greatest allies. My great aunt is a character. She's very funny despite the fact that she has had a lot of sadness and a lot of loss in her life. Her granddaughter is not really in her life right now, her husband (who never really treated her that well) just died, and her daughter-in-law is horrible. She has in a lot of ways adopted my mom as her daughter and me as her granddaughter. Since her husband's death a year ago, she is trying to do all the things that she couldn't do when he was around like go visit my grandparents. I think it'll be really good.
The weekend after that, there is a possibility I might go see my brother. I have only been to visit him once, and I had this weird infection thing and spent a lot of the time either in the hospital or fucked up on painkillers. So, hopefully this time I'll actually get to go see his new place, and meet his friends and get the real tour.
So, my dear friends in the New York area. I would really like to see you. My absence should not be taken personally. Urge me to come out. I think I just need a little bit of a push.
