weighted companion cube nooo
I have also played Rock Band, and it is good. Really good.
Dan came to visit and it suddenly made me grippingly aware that we haven’t had a social life with real people in a really long time. It wasn’t awkward, I didn’t feel like a crazy shut-in or anything, it just made me realise that I have been wrong to shut myself away in a place where people view the unfamiliar as untrustworthy or inappropriate.
I am NOT going to go chasing off to Comox or Victoria before I have had a good long while to think about it, but believe me when I say that yes, I AM thinking about it. My mom isn’t happy about the idea, and for all of my complaints I’m not happy about the idea of just LEAVING her here alone, but she’s making friends and she’s starting to have a life of her own. This is good.
SO many things to think about!
And Dan! And Alison! Dan was wonderful. His general personality comes out in text over the internet, with no problem, but he’s a billion times better in person. “Live and in 3D,” as he put it. If I ever get in legal trouble in Oregon, I know who I am calling – if only for the chance to hang out with the coolest people possible before they shut me away for ALL TIIIIME.
