Austin 001

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

I fixed my computer problem. I believe I can connect to wireless internet connections now. I’ll take Lappy down to a Starbucks and see what happens.

Last night was slightly ridiculous. Robyn lit her bangs on fire. That was probably the best part, well, most entertaining at least.

I am excited for Thursdays, The Office plays at a local theater here. Big screen. Nice.

Haustin.

In Austin. Took awhile. All day.

New laptop sucks balls, so none of that for awhile. I’ll try to update as often as I can, but I can’t promise much.

Until then.

Practically everything I owned–gone. Given away. Now my life amounts to two plastic tubs, two cardboard boxes, and a suitcase full of clothes. I have yet to pack my dishes. Then I might consist of up to four plastic tubs instead of just the two.

I have given away loads and loads of stuff. In some cases, things I spent a good amount of money on, merely given away. It’s freeing. I have read so many articles about people and all of their material possessions that in turn own them. I wanted to avoid being that person at all costs.

One entire plastic tub: DVDs and video games. It amuses me that those things mean so much to me. All of this picking and choosing what stays and what goes really sheds a light on what is most important to me. Art supplies went out the door. Half of all my books went out the door. Tons and tons of office supplies, out the door. But not that NES. Not those dusty N64 games. I’d have never agreed to give those up.

So, Wednesday. Almost exactly two days. Two more days of knowing exactly what is going to happen. Then I will be tossed into a world of total uncertainty and I am excited.

Couchsurfing.com. Ever been? Am I crazy enough to attempt something like that? Quite possibly, like I said, total uncertainty. I have a real itch to visit Minneapolis.

Fuck. One day at a time, girl. One day at a time.
