After the whirlwind of the conference, then Texas, I've been dropped back down here at home in Oregon. It's a letdown and I'm bummed out and I don't know what to do with myself. Without something keeping me occupied, I have nothing to keep myself from falling backwards into my own head. It is so dangerous. I feel even less connected than I did before I left. I need to force myself to try to go out and be social and get away from my neuroses.
To keep myself occupied I organized my closet and made chili, both of which were good things to do. The one really good thing was taking a long walk through my neighborhood to the food co-op. This area is gorgeous, but I always miss it because I ride fast down one street every day.
When I was in Texas I wanted to come back home, but now I want to go back to Texas. It was really fun being away, around new people I don't have issues with yet. Now I'm back in stupid Oregon. I kind of hate this city, I'm so sick of it, but I feel like I have no choice but to stay here. I can't think of any better choices. It's like brocolli, I know it's good for me, but I'd rather have cookies.

Either that, or I'm just a nutjob and moving from New Orleans to Colorado didn't help that.
You seem to be the first SG that I've been able to find that's politically active in some way.. or maybe the others don't spell it out so much.
Oregon seems to me better than Texas, but then I'm not in either place. Texas seems like fun, but could be problematic to me politcally. But then that depends on how like "Texas" Texas is. But hearing some of the political coverage on the justice system Texas seems pretty much like "Texas" to me. Not too many boys in makeup running the streets.
Enjoying your favorite favority things. Waits, Holly, Cave, Pop (his Stooges period rather than solo) all rock. I'm only a fan of Bowie on occasion. (I tend to like 2-3 songs per album)
I prefer Cave's Birthday Party period, but enjoy some of his solo work, especially "Murder Ballads".
Tampopo is a crazy wonderful noodle fest. Lovin' it.
Otherwise I should return to my schoolwork, my fun work (music geek related stuff), and my volunteer work. Oh and 'work' work, but that always seems the least fun. If only I could combine them all.
