"Fucking electrical oompa loompa"
Got lunch with Sto and Lawrence today. Hadn't seen those guys in a while, so it was nice to catch up. Ended up getting a couple SNES games from Sto (he was gonna sell them at Gamestop anyway) so next time, terriyaki is on me. Fine by me, means an excuse to see my friends again.
Seems a lot of people on my flist have stuff from back in the day going on. That got me thinking about my situation. The bulk of my past refers to my time in California. I have the...luxury? Of not having to deal with a lot my past except on my terms. I'm in Cali only when a bunch of things come together; time, money, desire. Aside: Looking like May, people. When I'm down, I only seek out friends, and rarely encounter people I'm not so fond of, since I'm as busy as possible with my friends. Sadly, I don't get to see everyone each trip, but I'll be back again. On the other hand, most of my Washington friends that I don't see much anymore I still randomly encounter with some frequency, and since most of them are in the same industry as I am, I never know when I might wind up working with them. Hell, I work with a guy I hadn't seen since I dropped out of dP at my current job. But it's a bit different, because most of those guys are transplants, too. I wonder how they chose to deal with their pasts; how much they changed (deliberately) moving up here, and if they change back when and if they are back where they grew up. I'm not sure where any of this was going, but yeah, being transplanted like I am is a strange situation sometimes. Perhaps when I go back to where angels lose their way I'll gain some clairity on the issue.
I wrote an article for the Compendium. I had noticed that the events of Zeal left open an allegory that directly opposed the more mainstream interpretation down that line of allegorizing. If any of that didn't make sense to you, I didn't expect you to care ;) I'm happy with having figured things out and having done a bit of writing. Hopefully the article will foster some good discussion. That reminds me, I want to write the outline for a story I want to write. I want to be able to decide the order I do these things in, but the flow just sort of flows regardless. Oh well, more stories for me to tell.
My toe hurts. This upsets me. I'd been missing my walks out of laziness, two days back in, and now I'll have to be missing them out of pain. Whatever, I'll still be at CTF.
