it’s time i did this.
AUGUST 25th, 2002
alright. i’ve decided to start keeping a journal. if nothing else it will help me think about things more, which is something i just honestly haven’t done in a while. i mean i do, but when you write things down it kind of forces you to really look things over and dig a little deeper. maybe i can finally make some sense out of where i’m going right now.
i’m also hoping it will just help me get more done. i figure if my day’s journal entry consists of “i had some oatmeal” i’m going to feel kind of pathetic about it, and maybe i’ll try a little harder to actually do something interesting the next day.
so.
i live in north carolina now. this is an odd thing, as i’ve never lived anywhere else besides michigan until this week. twenty-five years in the same thirty mile radius. living with my folks though, i almost feel like i’m back at home, even though i’m so far from it. the hardest thing is just not having any friends here. not to mention there just doesn’t seem to be a lot to do unless i want to drive two hours. i’d drive that far to see a show, but driving back is a different story…
at least i’ve been making some great online friends at the moc. miss holly and emma in particular. it’s just so nice to have people to talk to. especially ones i’ve got so much in common with… i mean… okay, just looking back through instant messenger logs quickly, holly and i had one conversation about screen printing, video games, and imperial teen. how many people back home could i have that conversation with? one. frank. except i doubt he’s heard of imperial teen. renee could probably manage all three, but then, she lives in chicago.
anyway. it’s just been a while since i’ve had anyone to talk about the stuff i really like. now i just need to get back to the point where i can have a profound, three-hour conversation with someone that really changes the way i see things. now that has been far too long. i’m not even sure if i’m just not capable of it anymore, or i just haven’t had the right person to talk to.
probably both.
i suppose it’s time i got some rest. i need to set up my new room today.
