Edit: figured I should actually post something substansive. I've been lost in a book all day (Robin McKinley's "A Knot in the Grain" all day long, and have finally re-emerged into the world of the Conscious of Anything But Books.

After spending awhile at my Mom's place out in the country (with no real Internet connection to speak of, it connects at about 20k!) I'm back at my Dad's place for a couple of days so that I can be more serious about searching for jobs and places to live, since there's a good Internet connection at his place. So this week is going to be all about job searching, and also renewing my driver's license and other things that I need to do prepare for moving.

Wherever it is I'm moving to. Right now it looks like my top choices go like this:
1. Moving to Atlanta
2. Staying in Charlottesville
3. Very unlikely, but worth mentioning: D.C.

The choices go in that order, as well. It's terrifying no matter what because I'll be moving with less than a thousand dollars to my name and no matter where I go I'm going to be building a life for myself from scratch. But if I do it, and do it well, I'll be very, very proud of myself.

Wish me luck on job-searching.

As far as everything else goes: no medications as of yet, I haven't been able to find a doctor that I can see that's willing to prescribe anxiety medications. I'm still working on that. I'm sad, of course, and need to cry like a baby every once in awhile (or to choke back tears, I do that about once a day) but I'm not falling apart, and that is a huge improvement over how I've reacted to prior breakups. As much as I'd love to fall off the face of the Earth for a week or two and just spend all my time either crying or reading, I can't, and knowing that I can't is keeping me sane. That and seeing old friends again who I had really missed (without realizing it) and seeing my folks again.

In other news, The Dark Night was amazing and Watchmen needs to come out immediately.

I guess I really am the only person who wasn't blown away by this Batman flick. And I don't even know what it was that didn't work for me!!

Atlanta would be good for you, methinks. It's more interesting there than most think, and the SG Community is thriving.

I have yet to see the Dark Knight. Should I see it?

Why Atlanta?

DC is awesome, but it's so fucking expensive to live there unless you get a roommate. That's why I moved to Philly. It's cheaper.

Did you get a PM I sent awhile ago? It was about me mailing you something. If you didn't get it let me know and I will re-send.

Break-ups are horrible and take time. It is good that you are feeling it now so you won't have to repeat it all later.

We all have the capacity to love ourselves, and love again.

Best of luck with your job search. Job searching has got to be one of the crappiest "jobs".

I haven't seen the newest Batman yet. A housemate suggested waiting, given the frenzy it's stirred up. Movie-going is unpleasant enough with your average crowd of punk-ass teens, cell phone talkers and, in my case, drunk people throwing up rum next to you. I'll wait until the crowds die down a little.

When it is time to cry, please cry. When it is time to hang tough I know you'll hang tough. Tears can be an excellent conduit to get the pain inside to the outside. Getting that pain outside is a big step to healing. I hope you'll take each step as it comes.

Know that you're cared for and are deserving of both love and happiness.

What's in the ATL? I mean, besides Outkast and Flux's parents. And Ludacris. And World of Coke. And Ted Turner. What was I saying? I'm busy booking a flight to the ATL.

No problem. I'll still give it a try though since it has been ages.
