Apr. 8th, 2009 05:15 amI have accomplished absolutely nothing today- or at least nothing that I'm aware of.
I've been journaling in my head lately and that's pretty good clue that I need to be journaling outside of my head as well.
Things vaguely suck at the moment. I mean they are what they are. Through circumstance I'd rather not discuss my car is no more. I have a job doing what I've been wanting to do for a while now, but paying not quite as much as I'd like. Faire is coming up. I'm excited that I'll be doing something this new year, a little sad that I'll be leaving the Test of Strength and my Scotsman persona behind, and slightly apprehensive about how I'm going to manage without a vehicle, but I know I'll manage, at least I have so far.
Work.
It's kind of weird working in South Dekalb Mall. As far as I can tell I'm one of five white people who work there, most of whom also work in the booth. It kind of puts the question of race and culture in mind which honestly isn't a bad thing. For example, I've been having Jamaican patties for lunch fairly regularly, and I can't help but wonder how many suburban geeky white boys know about these things, and what else I have been missing out on all these years because of the circumstance of being born into my particular set of sub-cultures, and what have I gained from them that you may not have? I don't know. It's something to consider. One person's exotic delicacy is another's comfort food. Come to think of it, I count Thai food as a comfort but I'm not sure that counts.
Right, So there's that.
Despite the lack of car I've been oddly social lately. I've come to learn that 80's night is exactly as I remember it. The actors have changed, but the cast characters will pretty much always be the same. In fact, some of the actors are the same.
Stuff with the apartment is weird, but acceptable, and possibly improving. I have no idea what's going to happen in October when our lease is up. If I have to move during haunt season again I may just have to shoot something.
So... that's how I'm doing. Aren't you glad you asked.
