I'm going to be in England in a week. That's insane.

Equally insane: I am going to be out of college in two days.

I had my house show last night, and it was absolutely beautiful. All of my closest college friends were there, and I played the best set I have in years. Some of it really hit close to home for my ex, and we just kind of stood and held each other for about a minute after the set. After that, people just kept going up and playing music or reading poems or whatever for a few hours. It was a really good end to my 4 years here, and I am so happy I decided to put it together. Maybe video will surface of it?

I would have a hard time saying that I am "good" right now, but that is mostly by choice. I am going headfirst into a lot of the darker parts of myself, and taking a really hard look at a lot of things that I have been ignoring for a while. I am working through most of them, and I am making progress, but there's still always some residual funk that hangs around when I do that. I think it is for the best, though.

Tattoooooooooooooooooo! One of my best friends gave me this stick and poke the other night, and I'm happy with how it turned out. It's something I've wanted for a while. It's an interactive fiction command, and means "examine self". It's a nice, if nerdy, way to remind me to care for and think about myself. For a while, I kept something like a diary, and every entry started with ">x self", and then listed my "stats" for the day. It's weird, but it was the only way that I could actually think about how I was doing.

flac, good for you. That is probably the hardest work because of all the stories we tell ourselves about who we are. It takes a lifetime, but better to start the journey now.
