How am I not the most bored person on Earth? I come close. Fortunately, I have a lot of podcasts that I subscribe to, both audio and video, that keep me entertained. I visit a couple of forums. I have a Facebook page I occasionally check. I have the LiveJournal friends. And when my head hurts too bad to sit at the computer, I'll just passively watch TV. If my head hurts too much to watch TV, I just stare at the wall until I doze off.
But, then, when I do feel like getting out and doing something, there's no shortage of things to amuse me. By spending all my time cooped up in my room, I'm very easily amused and something as simple as going for a walk in Mac Anderson Park makes me feel like I've actually accomplished something. Plus, I'm a very poor judge of patterns in my own life. There's some major mental disconnect that keeps me from realizing quite how long I've spent sitting in my bedroom waiting for my head to stop hurting. I know that it's two and a half years, but at the same time, I don't really feel like it's been that long. Days drag on interminably, but once they're done, they quickly receded into the past. I'm constantly surprised that something that happened yesterday seems as long ago as something that happened six months ago.
Hmm, this is pretty interesting. Be grateful for your "poor judgement of patterns"--that must be really helpful! :-)
I'm home all the time now too, and well, I just got curious what you had been up to all these years. And whatever happened to that cute girl named Ashley...at least I think her name was Ashley? I met her once at an SHS Band Shoney's postgame snackathon, lol.
Yep, Ashley. She and I dated for a couple years before a complex series of circumstances led to us realizing we worked better as friends. We normally keep in touch pretty well and if she wasn't working non-stop for the Obama campaign in suburban Philadelphia right now, we'd probably talk more than once a month lately.
And I've become very thankful for the small blessings that help me keep my sanity and the extremely large blessing of having such understanding and generous parents.
