I hope everyone had good holidays! Mine were okay. As nice as it was to spend time with my family (including my sister, whom I hadn't seen since she moved to Seattle), it was great to get back to my place in Philly. I have lots of errands to run in the next week or so, but nothing too unpleasant.

Not long after I got...

Yay! As of today, I am officially registered for classes for the spring. Here's what I'm taking:

-Intro to Women's Studies (cross my fingers, hope to meet lesbians in class)
-Musical Acoustics (physics)
-Love and Sexuality (philosophy)
-Ceramics
-Acting

It SEEMS like a fun bunch of classes, on paper at least. Tuesdays are sort of brutal, especially with peer counseling (though I might change that...

I guess some of you may recall that earlier this year, I was planning to open up a piercing room within a salon.

For my own reasons, I wound up deciding against doing that. And you know what? The salon went out of business. About 2 months ago.

I feel bad for the owner, who is a very nice woman and a friend of mine,...

I've really been isolating myself a lot in this past year, through the good and bad. I'm not entirely sure why, but I have been having trouble opening up to all but the closest friends.

When asked about my own life by friendly acquaintances in casual conversation, I just really don't want to get into it. I used to be less private. I had a...

Off to the DC area for the weekend, to work on getting my driver's license. I am just gonna be in town for 2 days, and I am less than psyched about going.

However, winter is coming up, and waiting for the bus when it's freezing out is even less thrilling.

I am still not sure if I can justify how much it makes sense...

I am applying for a job teaching African jazz dance in Mt. Airy. I hope that I get it. I've never taught dance before, but I think I impressed the studio owner. It's a pretty small studio.

Also, I am going to begin volunteering as a peer counselor at the local gay community center starting November. Rock.

Oh, and I kind of turned 24. I've...

I got a new job working in an office. It's called ECFMG, and it's basically an agency that processes paperwork to bring foreign doctors into the country. The work is sorta boring but it pays $13.50 an hour, so I can't complain about that at all. It's 8-4, which means completely re-vamping my sleep schedule, but I am pretty good at being a morning person...

I've been on SG a lot since returning from camping, but now after the pictures and threads have wound down... ehh... time to spend less time on here. Especially when I ought to be sleeping.

August is starting to look pretty busy. Maybe I will go bury my head in the sand somewhere.

In the meantime, if anyone wants to talk on AIM, my screenname...

I got back from camping.

I slept 45 minutes this morning. Not one wink last night. I had a very, very wonderful night though. Couldn't have been better.

The weird thing, despite sleeping almost not at all, despite feeling a bit physically crummy I feel perfectly rested. It's really unusual... normally I'd be dead by now.

The plan was to take a nap as soon...

Well... things are going a bit better in my world.

I'm making an effort to isolate myself less. Working on my own business lets me off the hook from, well, leaving my building if that's what I feel like. But it's not what's good for me.

I signed up to volunteer at a gay community center. It's in center city, and it'll give me a...
