Last night brigid and plankton took me out to Ceremony, a goth club in Boston. Well, I had a lot more fun than I thought I would in a scene I know nothing about. Despite ear-defeaning distorted bass it was fun watching other people dance (writhing slowly) and meeting a lot of brigid's friends in the scene.

Today was another ten hour day at work, which ruined epic afternoon plans. On the bright side one of my pet project fundraisers has netted us an ever-growing pile of money (now $2,600).

Busy seems to be the on-going theme these days. I really haven't had a spare evening in quite some time and would like to sometime soon as I miss open pockets of time where I can freely do as I please. But I have to admit it is a bit fun to be so occupied in my life with many things. Still, I hope to make more time for relaxing once I'm moved into ( Read more... )

The last week has gone by in a blur. Even working only "six" hours a day has left me with little time or energy for much else. If I have seemed distant or inaccessible it's just me still getting used to working and still dealing with some of the ongoing issues of home. Between the two of them I don't have much time or energy for anything else. ( Read more... )

I have so many things I want to write about but practically no time to do so. As opposed to most of the time these things are actually interesting. In lieu of actual content, I'll post a picture driftingfocus took of me after my first real day of work.
