On a lark I took an abbreviated on-line MBTI test; yeah, results may vary. (ENFP. When’d that happen?) But it got me to thinking about the P and about mapping inputs/outputs in my head and wondering how well that can work when I’ve got the filters running: “Everyone hates me”? Sure. “Gaussian blur and lens [...]
I just need to get this out. It would arguably be better (for whom?) to wait until morning, but I want this out of me–and of course, it’ll take me a bit to put it into words. It’s what’s been going through my head for the last couple hours. The Halloween party was great. D. [...]
Last few days: Found more costume parts. Getting used to Nashville. Pretty sure I got screwed getting my car’s 30k check-up. Paid electric bill in Cookeville. Turned in old DSL modem. Took out trash and recyclables. Started to get rid of the beard. Shada went outside Friday night; made it about two minutes before she [...]
Atox and I spent yesterday driving around south Nashville, looking for random bits of thrift-store costume-parts. It was entertaining, and I learned a bit more about my extended neighborhood. Last night we had pizza and watched American Beauty on TNT. Some of the editing-for-television was amusing. I’d forgotten how thoroughly creepy that movie was. I [...]
D. referred to herself a few weeks ago as “a pretty blunt and straight forward person.” I’ve been wrestling for a while with this concept. I admire these traits in others, and I always thought I was a straight forward and honest person, myself. Lately I’ve begun to suspect that I have been going about [...]
Today I moved the last of the stuff from the old apartment. It turned out to be just about one full carload. I’ve got a lot of clothes I don’t think I’ve ever worn. Talked to S. this morning; about the cats, the house, the divorce. It ended predictably, but it’s still rough. Haven’t heard [...]
My plan for this weekend was to go to my brother’s house Friday night to watch BSG, and maybe crash there. Move the last load of junk up here from old-apartment Saturday morning. Whoops! I didn’t get off work until later than anticipated last night, and was really run down–so instead JS and I went [...]
I spent this weekend moving to Nashville. Carl, Ross, Derek, David, and Ariel helped–by which I mean they did most of the work. Carl and Ross got the couch up the stairs and into the new place with no problems (something about which I was worried). I brought Shada up here today; went about as [...]
Simile for these kinds of changes: It’s like trying to play a record on the ridges instead of the grooves. Alright, not that difficult, but it’s the feeling.
I want someone to tell me what to do; but no one should have to or be expected to. I want a way to figure out what I need to do in the “big picture,” but I feel that I can’t figure it out on my own–but I have to, because no one else should [...]
