(no subject)
Jul. 29th, 2002 02:04 amI'm back in I.V. after a fun filled weekend at home. I need to finish more homework than I've gotten done so far. I need to write a story, but the ideas just aren't coming. I need to assemble a portfolio of creative nonfiction, but that shouldn't be a problem. I need to do a shitload of journal entries, and that will take some time. I must get me to a library for a few evenings in a row.
In other news...a big marker of having grown up is when friends start moving not only out, but away.
Someone who I hold tremendously dear, even though we hardly ever talk lately, has left her family home right after having finished college. She's developed a life that totally suits her in Los Angeles; I'm excited for her.
Lauren and Ben are moving to Seattle after the family home sells. They desperately need a move away from L.A, and all the stuff here that is so nasty for them. I really hope that things go esy for them.
Richie and Tiffany are looking to start their life together in earnest. Like...their real, practical, united life together, by moving in together. I wish them the absolute best...they, and the Jilberts, deserve nothing less.
And now, I have no idea where I stand in all this. I don't know whether I'll be able to live on my VV paycheck in SB; if not, do I fInd a job here, move elsewhere (I've got this panicked urge to leave), go nearer home (I've got this other urge to be near my family, who I love), subsist while I apply to MFA programs...? Shit.
I feel more self-possessed and calm about stuff than I've ever felt, but at the same time, I have no idea what the fuck to do now. It's pretty confusing.
but I guess if I were a Donnie Darko character, I'd be Donnie. Cool.
