be calm

i could apologize for not posting but who reads this shit anyway? it's admittedly mostly for my own purposes.

+ schools pretty hectic but engaging for the most part. it's weird to catch myself in a moment and relize that i'm actually doing it. i'm in grad school. i'm flying (almost) solo in a new city. i don't feel old or anything, just odd.

- i'd be a wreck right now if i had to balance all of this work with a part time job/internship.

+/- being jobless and living on student loans

+ making good buddies in school from classes & the CRP student association. i'm running for a 1st year office position, i haven't participated in extracurriculars since high school.

+enjoying Columbus. it's pretty great.

+the arm is healed. i'm supposed to be doing physical therapy and wearing the cast at night but that's not been happening... whoops.

+got my car back. i missed it so.

+ my cats. they've been so chatty and affectionate lately and it still gives me the warm fuzzies when they curl up on my lap.

+re-reading old tweets.

+ i'm super pumped for halloween. sweet rager @ the schenk house, this time minus the drunken lechery. it's going to be wicked cold but i can fix that.

+totally hooked on fun.'s debut record. it's stuck in my head ALL THE TIME. the melodies, the lyrics, the crazy variety of instruments. it's all so pretty.

+ IDK my BFF alex? we've been together 4 years as of last week. we're not perfect but we're us and i'm thankful for having him in my life. no one gets me like he does, and no one else puts up with me as well either. i guess he knows what he's gotten himself into by now.

it's a beautiful thing when you love somebody, and i love somebody.

this is probably the most positive post i've written in a long time.
