revamping a lifestyle takes time, apparantly. i like the feeling of progression, or maybe a more apt phrase would be momentum when referring to rising from a personal hiatus or slump. you see, for a while i became stagnant worried about the much larger picture. it still is a concern, mind you, as is a while back i mentioned the idea of trying to attack a grizzly bear with a pez dispenser (it may seem frivilous, but if you spend enough time befriending it and getting it fat and sassy, it will die of natural causes or obesity while becoming more knowledgable of it's habitat and lifestyle). after vicky broke up with me, it wasn't so hard to realize that i still stood as my own person proud of where i came from and who i am. that still resounds strong within me- a good foundation, too. ever so slowly, i am improving on who i am as time goes by. every now and then, however, i have a hard time riding the fine line between impatience and procrastination. sometimes it just takes paying the bills and preparing to move to set the mind straight again.
lorna, todd, and i went to ikea tonight to check out some new digs for the apartment. i needed some bed models, as did i need amusement at every little bricabrac those swedes had...like the swedish edition of a nick hornby novella. so, it looks like i've got a place for clothes and my tv, as well as a bed and a bedside table to rock out soon. after moving in, i'll look into getting a chair and a table for my computer, and the beginnings of a pad will be set.
to start off? a dead rat pillow. i couldn't resist!
as a fun reminder, cradle of filth is on friday if you'd like to go! sunday is the superbowl...which surprised me as to how fast january went. kourtney wasn't lying when she said once you're about to hit 25 things fly by really fucking fast.
so it goes, eh? anyway, i'm slowly but surely going to work hard on myself. it's been a long time coming, but i'm fortunate and able enough to do it now. balls to the wall...
