Adjustments
Well, I have officially been at school for a week now - well, actually 9 days. I am very bust settling into everything here. Getting a feel for my classes, the same for my roomates...relearning my way around College Park. I am gonna be *damn* busy this semester. The list of things I'd like to do with my time grows daily: Classes, Rocky (Mon. & Thurs.), The Vagina Monologues, Bisexuals at MD group, the Queer Women's group at MD, Speaker's Bureau, Open Mics on Tuesdays, Hillel on Fridays...and possibly, hopefully, maybe finding someone somewhere along the line to date. I've met a few cool people so far, including a beautiful girl I met at the Perk last tuesday night, but I am gonna try to be realistic about relationship-y things, and not go running headlong towards something just cuz it happens to be there. I might, for once in my life, try to not throw myself at anything with legs and a brain and a set of genitals. The Scorpio will attempt to be a little less...Scorpiatic (?!?).
Last night I had a quiet evening watching "Calender Girls" with Megan at her place, then got back to my dorm around 11:30 and decided to check ouit the party in the apt. above me. Well, I apparently vacated my braoin briefly and decided I'd be fine with drinking 8 shots of vodka in about 40 minutes. For those of you who know me, u know I dont drink too often, and that's a fairly large amount for me. Well, I was fine and dandy for about 2.5 hours, and in fact quite enjoyed myself talking to a cute little 19 year old surfer-boi wanna-be....but after i went to bed...well lets just say I reviewed my whole night. Three times. Rather unpleasant. :( Ah well, I am paying the ucky consequences today.
Right now Gwen is sitting on my bed looking at my Suicide Girls book. I think that we are gonna take me grocery shopping and then go out with Megan for her birthday. My ittle baby is 22!! I can't beleive it! However, I shall be forced to avoid the alcohol tonight, I think.
Settling in is...weird, and tough. I've had quite a few moments of inside-out upside-down worlds colliding deja vu. Memories keep rushing back over me at completely unexpected times, completely drowning me briefly but intensely. This happened a few times at Perk last Tuesday, and I found myself tearing up and not being able to articulate exactly why, had anyone asked me. Oh - hands down, the best part of being at Perk last week was that LJ & Charlie came down with the baby!! I got to see her for the first time since her birth August 12th. She is absolutely perfect. I held her, and just looked at her tiny little sleeping body with wonder, and thought to myself: "This is a real little person, and my best friend made her. She is a real live little human." I cried. She is so beautiful - I was overwhelmed.
Well, thats it for now. I miss you all!! Leave me some love here people, or IM me, or call me, or email me, or something!!
