Time for an update. Of course the girl situation is foremost on my mind, but I'll save that for last.
First of:
Fucking bureaucracies!!! Has anyone tried getting through to a human at any county agency? It's not even funny.
I'm starting a new class today. Which means I finished my first 10-week project, a short film. If you want to come to the screening, which showcases about 12 student films, it's on Feb. 1 in Emeryville. Message me for the details. All I gotta say is it was written by four guys in about a day and it's pretty random, but hopefully comical.
And now what you've all (not) been waiting for:
So I guess the "fight" (for lack of a better word) triggered some serious psychological shit in my girl. I just found out that much of this actually has little to do with me, though it affects me in some pretty actual ways. So at least I know where I stand, because I was starting to wonder why she wasn't digging me--it was a drastic and abrupt change. I'm usually all for laying issues bare and such, but in this case I almost think some things should stay repressed. I say almost because I think they would have come out anyway at some point, and better sooner than later so that there's time to deal with them. And even though I told her I don't have a savior (or "Florence Nightingale" she like to say) complex--I believed this when I said it--I have to admit I would be highly gratified to see her through this to some sort of conclusion. I know it's going to be tough; it has been already. Am I an emotional masochist? No, I don't enjoy pain of any kind. Some things are just worth it.

a) We all know that <i><b>I</i></b> am the emotional masochist, not you...there is more proof of that coming in every frickin' second these days.
b) Tell me about it, DoR still hasn't reassigned my case, and thus, my tuition is still unpaid.
c) As for the last bit: Dude, that's what spoiler tags are for. Seriously though, I hope she is doing alright. And you too of course....Florence.
