spraypainting generic conversation
wow, i didn't write anything in 2007 because i was too busy having a real life and 'getting my shit together.'
so, my 'shit's together' apparently.
i mean, on paper, anyway.
i am still a slovenly social disaster.
but, you know, i got a few people who don't mind it so much, so that's pretty nice.
i'm still pretty lazy, although this is the first time in my life i've confessed it and meant it. i'm working on it.
also, i'm trying not to be so self-absorbed, although judging from this livejournal and the blahhhhg i keep and the physical journal and all the talking i do everyday about myself, obviously progress is slow.
i'm reading some books now:
- notes from a small island
- society in nineteenth century england
- a people's history of the united states
also, i'd like to finish up the god delusion, but i'm reading too many things.
i've stopped reading fiction for a while, now that i'm smart enough to really appreciate and understand more nonfiction. i tried reading some fiction not long ago and i felt like i was wasting my time. oddly enough, television and movies still don't quite qualify as time wasting yet because i've been watching too much of both of them.
i just came inside from spraypainting some lawn furniture. first, i didn't think to wash off the dirt and cobwebs. i just pulled everything from the shed and started spraying. second, once finished, i found a spray paint container of primer for rusty things, which i'm guessing i was supposed to use first.
so, mom's probably going to be sort of pissed when she gets home.
i'm trying to get mandy to go on a picnic in the park with me today. what would really be grand would be to have a barbeque with a bunch of friends one evening, with frisbees and tennis and baseball. that would really be worth leaving the house.
