(no subject)
I got an iPod, finally. Yes, I have succumbed. It's not my fault they provide the best product I've been able to find.
It needs a name now. When I bought it I thought for sure I was going to name it Dana (after Dana Scully from X-Files), because that's what I always thought I'd like to name a white iPod, but now I'm not so sure. Other tempting names include Fred (from So You Want to Be A Wizard or Harry Potter), Jaxom (The White Dragon), and Moony (Harry Potter). The thing is, I'm tired of naming all my inanimate objects after men. I think I need a woman, and a white iPod seems the most feminine of all of my techno-gadgets. But at the same time, I ususally name the gadgets after literary characters, and Scully's from TV. Hm...advice?
Nothing much else is happening with me. I've been going out sporadically, staying in and reading primarily, trying to resign myself mentally to the idea that in two weeks and six days I leave here. It's not working too well, I can tell you that. I really don't know how I'm going to manage.
On a slightly related note, I really need to see my friends more this summer. I'm realizing that I've spent most of it alone. That's not cool.
I should probably go eat lunch now, and then maybe read, and then work on not worrying about cramming meaning into every second of my existence.
