What's this? A sort of real update?
I just watched the first episode of Firefly and I'm already obsessed. How in the world have I not seen it before?
I've been in Rochester, NY since Saturday visiting vyncentvega and will be leaving this afternoon to go visit some of Merritt's friends and eventually end up at a wedding on Long Island this weekend. Awesome. Wedding + Long Island = Christine's nightmare. Hope Long Islanders don't mind hairy legs and armpits because while a couple of weeks ago I was motivated to shave for the wedding that motivation seems to have passed. That and I'm too cheap (and broke) to go buy a razor.
I'm exhausted. Not in a sleep-deprived way but more in a 'I've been on the go for months and haven't had time to stop and think let alone reflect and process some of this shit that has happened in my life recently and at this point I really just want to stay in one place for longer than two days so I could - oh, I don't know - make friends or something silly like that.'
We're renting a place starting next month. Moving out of the storage unit and into a place where I can run around in my underwear, leave my shampoo in the shower, and always have my favorite cheese on hand in the fridge.
I've been in a lot of physical pain recently [yes I know why, no I don't want to talk about it here] - chronic sort of pain that while dampened by pain meds [like Vicadin!] never really goes away. It's exhausting and I'm starting to understand why people get addicted to drugs. Not that I'm planing on getting addicted to drugs but right now I would love something that would just make the pain stop for a little while. I want a break.
I came to the full realization recently that work is my home. I sleep better there, I have a reliable support network, I belong, I have control over what happens during the day, I decide where shit goes, and it's just a comforting place. My students probably think I'm insane.
Starting to seriously look at application stuff for grad school for fall 2007. I need to take a couple psych courses to improve my chances. I'm thinking of trying some online classes so I can work at the same time.
