You can't swim in a town this shallow - you will most assuredly drown tomorrow.

ok. i don't think houston is that horrible. i just had a slightly off day with this slightly off city. i guess today we didn't mesh and i let it get me down.

i also made the mistake of looking up the cnfr results from casper so far. i had that place for the last four summers. and to not be there now kind of hurts. it was always my escape. but it had an expiration date i guess and i can never go back. not in the same way i used to.

days like this make me miss the hole of vv. and not seeing people for days except my folks. it was usually just tex, my bike, and pi. i spent everyday strictly with things i loved and adored.

problem is i still felt trapped there. and like i wasn't contributing or doing anything fucking useful. i can live that way for a few weeks. sure. but not months and months.

now i have thrown myself back into society. and life has never seemed more real. and scary. and full of opportunities. and amazing. and...let's just hope i don't fuck this up.

rise up with fists

so. last night. first night out in my new town.

we went and took our chances at chances first. =) thanks cory. it was actually a lot of fun. there was dyke idol. and a super neat dance floor. fun times dancing with amos. and watching chatt acting like he was scared of all the lesbians. he was afraid they hated him. then we went to boondocks. also fun dancing times. there i spilled to chatt about how i don't think i will last here for more than 2 years. there were a lot of people on the back porch. i felt really overwhelmed. i missed wyoming.

we'll see what happens.

fun video time? i have never been a fan of goldfrapp. and what i mean by that is that i really disliked the first album. but now i think they are amazing. i'm loving it.


never write off a band entirely i suppose.

anyways. i am going to start being a little bit more positive about the new life here.

forget your politics for awhile

i have been a fan of mates of state for awhile. their sound has changed slightly over the years. in a good way. still very lovable. and twee. and catchy. and just really amazing.


so i made the jump. now living in h-town. and i will begin work on monday. i am very excited.

and scared shitless.

i left a lot behind. and i am still not ready to deal yet.

but it has made me realize what i think i really want to do. this lawyer jazz was something that had developed over the last year. i had gained a new appreciation and a slight love for law. and especially construction law. i studied for the lsat. i knew where i wanted to go.

but i couldn't commit. it wasn't a passion. and i was really scared that i would get a year into law school. and that much into debt. and realize that it wasn't what i really wanted to do. for forever.

something that i have always been a fan of is green construction and sustainable design. there's a program at UT that i've been interested in ever since i started college. so, i think i will stick with this job for awhile. save up. and then try that out.

slightly different from law. but something i am way more passionate about.

Whoop Dee Doo

i don't understand ssion. but that's ok. cos i can still dance to it.


fun stuff kids. oh and this was them performing live on a children's show. and they make out. yay.
