wow....some actual time to update. now that the vagrantcafe forums are down, maybe people will resort to reading my blog! haha. maybe i'll get lots and lots of emails from people who've never actually read the content on the site before! maybe even some hate mail!

ok...i'm just being dumb b/c i went to bed around 3 a.m., woke up at 8:15 a.m. after what was my first good night's sleep in quite some time. i think it's cuz i switched sides of the bed last night. i've been sleeping on a borrowed futon, which aren't known for being the most comfortable beds in the world. but it's soon returning to its owner, and i'll be borrowing a twin bed (first twin bed in like, three years). and it has one of those foam egg-crate thingies on it. luckily i only have to get up "early" 3 days a week or i'll never want to get out of my new bed.

so yesterday i posted about how maybe i shouldn't talk about myself so much, and today i'm going to go ahead and talk about myself anyway. i think what i was trying to say is that when i don't feel like i have anythign to talk about, i'm going to talk about other things than myself. (sorry, i'm super caffeinated at the moment, and am prone to rambling.)

so the coffee shop i've been helping a friend is getting closer and closer to opening. we're probably still a week or two away...but tonight we're gonna set up a little table outside the shop while the jazz festival is going, and just serve coffee and answer questions and stuff. hey maybe the news will be in town!

ok ok ok...lately i've been more or less avoiding talking about anything "deep" in my usual style. to be honest, it's because i haven't been feeling all that "deep" lately. i think i've just needed to take a break from it to have some fun. like, last week i got to go to charleston and go to the beach. and i've been listening to a lot more music again lately, which is something i hadn't been doing for awhile. and just generally hanging out with people, instead of staying home alone all by myself all day. i know that sooner or later i'll probably get back into some level of "deepness", but i'm really in no hurry. mostly b/c i'm so tired of talking about those things with people i don't know well. maybe that's why i'm so looking forward to visiting home in a couple months. i'll get to hang out with jill (best friend) for two weeks. jill and i have been best friends for going on 11 years i guess. i had such a good visit last time..she and i would stay up way too late talking, drinking tea. i guess i just miss having someone around who i have history with. who i don't have to explain everything to. where there are no walls. seriously. so yeah...i guess sometimes the reason i don't get deep with many people is b/c i've already got people i don't have to establish anything with. maybe i'm lazy, i dunno. it's not that i don't want to get to know new people...i just don't want to waste my time telling people things if they're not the people i should be telling things to. that probably doesn't make any sense.

anyway...go buy the new coldplay album. 'tis lovely.

well, i didn't get the haircut yet. oh well.

i was thinking today that b/c i have this journal, i feel like i should always be talking about myself. but maybe i'll take a break from that. i'm not really sure what to talk about at this moment, mostly b/c i'm at work, and am getting ready to leave, but i think i might just start talking about other things, and in that, you'll probably still learn quite a few things about me as well.

if you want to see pictures of where i live, go to www.opuszine.com and look at his new vacation pictures.
