Oh, Right, I have a Blog.
My life has been absolutely insane since I got back from my trip, and I haven’t relegated much time for updating. I’ve been working constantly on a large-scale freelance development project for a client , and along with working at the office, trying to make promotional materials for senior photos, and everything else I’ve been up to lately I’ve been slightly manic.
I also had the joy of being due for an upgrade from Sprint, meaning I am now the owner of a shiny new red Blackberry Curve. I’ve owned a Blackberry before, but eventually returned it because I was paying too much for things I didn’t use. Now Sprint has an Unlimited Everything package, or whatever the fuck it’s called, so not only am I paying less than before, but I’m also actually utilizing all of these awesome features.
I’m a grouper. I like to group things. So the more insane my life gets, the more I feel the heinous need to put everything short of wiping my ass in my date book and task list. So needless to say, I believe this was a good decision. And dude, I can Tweet. From my Blackberry. Anywhere. Enough said. If there’s one thing I didn’t know how I ever lived without, it’s the ability to complain about shit in as many different places as I want.
I can already feel the ugly desperate Ohio residue starting to build up in me again, and even though I was only in Florida for one week, it was good for my soul. I felt totally refreshed and free and the atmosphere was so much more conducive to not clawing at the walls with anxiety. It’s strange because normally when spring fully sets in here, I come out of my winter funk all together and am in a fabulous mood until the scorching green-house-effect-in-your-car-burnt-ass sets in, and although it is wonderful not to be freezing constantly, I still miss being in Florida.
One of the reasons I brought up my purchase of this new-fangled cellular device, was because while I was at the Sprint store, I was going through my contacts and deleting people that I a.) no longer talked to, and b.) had no idea who the hell it was. And it made me realize just how few social connections I’ve held on to over the years, and how much I miss having my best friend around all the time. It’s really hard to find people you connect with on that level. Over the years I guess I just gave up on a lot of the relationships I’d formed, because people tend to let you down.
I’ve always made friends really easily, and usually don’t have any problems in a social environment. I always had a lot of friends and acquaintances, so deleting half of my phone book seemed to kind of cement my isolation in place. That sounds completely ridiculous but welcome to Brentville. I just feel like there should be something more.
Anyway, I’ve been working on a new section of this website in the midst of all of my post-vacation insanity, so keep a look out for that quite soon.

I’ve been thinking a lot about the people in my life lately too- particularly about how I used to be close with so many more people than I am now. Maybe I had more time back then? I don’t know, but I miss it.
