Right. Well I'm contacting you now, though I failed miserably while down south. I ended up having a very late night, running into an OOOOLD friend who also happened to be passing through LA from the Midwest, and ended up spending a weekend in Mexico.
That's the trouble with unstructured trips... I end up missing out on spending time with some people.
Anyway, your post made me realize I'd failed to get back in touch with you after all the hoopla. How've you been?
Well.... [insert torrid description of a sense of utter dejection and depression at having missed your LA dates], but i'm better now. }:P
what's it been now, two years? three? I keep going to SF, you keep coming by LA, shit keeps happening. oh well, at least it sounds like it was a good time with old friends.
Other than that things have been reasonably good for me. Really: I try not to give in to pessimism too much but I worry that I'm missing something secretely bad that's going on in my life. But it doesn't seem like it.
Mostly I worry that something bad is piling up and I'm missing it and it'll come to my attention as one explosive, stressful, expensive mess that I'll be wholly responsible for cleaning.
I'm not used to things carrying on as decently as they have and it makes me nervous.
Ah yes, the "other shoe" phenomenon. I went through a period of about 4 years where things were fairly consistently going well in my life, constantly expecting the other shoe to drop. It's a crappy way to live; very primitive, mammalian prey response. It took a lot of internal work for me to stop doing that.
Good luck adjusting to good times. I'm glad things are going well for you. :)
