It's been, uh, a good five years since I've moved and done any kind of massive purging o'stuff. So I'm doing a slash and burn of everything right now, from paperwork to clothes to tapes to random junk what hides under my bed.

Why do I still have a broken lava lamp in my closet? Why?!

Yay purge! This is the excellent time to get rid of crap. Not that I'm any good at that -- it always seems easier to pack everything, somehow.

Throw it all out! You won't miss it!

My trunk is still full of crap I intend to take to Goodwill. Someday. Ugh.

I think the magic of Google just turned up a very good friend from college. I lost track of her several years ago when she moved to Istanbul. And she now lives 3 hours from me. If it's her, but I'm 95% sure it is. I just sent an email to confirm.

Eeeee. I'm never gonna fall asleep tonight. But I should go try. But my brain's stuck on OMG.

I am throwing it all out! And it's fucking great!

toss, shrift, toss!

sleep, perkins, sleep

sleep, strega, sleep

and that's all I got.

But it is all very sound advice, Beth.

Hey, when are we going to Shiok! again? I think I may need some crab soon.

I am in a weird mood right now. I think some of my ideas about my career path are crystallising, from all different directions. Stuff. Bouncing around in head. It feels weird.

I'm going to have to make some life decisions sometime soon. I'm so not feeling up to it.

That's always kind of unnerving stuff, ita, even when it's for the best. Anything you feel like bouncing off of others?

Anything you feel like bouncing off of others?

Not yet. It all seems so very obvious, but I'm also very tired. Why can't the rest of the world go on hiatus until I'm ready?

I hope the nervous feeling is just because I've only just now realised it, and not something that's going to last.
