In less than a week I'll be on the other side of the country. I don't know how I'll deal with sleeping, since my sleep schedule is so fucked over here, and over there it'll be 3 hours worse. I'll either have to sleep less, or drink a lot at night so I'm not really able to stay up until butt thirty in the morning. I think the latter is more likely.
It's funny how certain things can act as triggers, and bother me more than they should, more than I should let them. It's even more funny when I seek these things out. Not funny "ha ha", funny "uh oh".
I've never been on an airplane by myself before. I'm kind of scared about that, especially since my airplaning experience in general has been very limited. Is it possible for me to get lost on the way to the airplane? Because if it's possible then I'll probably do it.
Even though I have some anxiety about the flying part, I'm getting really excited.

I look at this site once every couple months, so I feel obligated to update each time.
I may or may not be going to the Olympic rain forest this morning. We'll see if my friends wake up and call me. It was either the rain forest or the redwoods, and since they wanted me to come I had to nix the redwoods. In addition to being hateful Erin I am also quite often sensible Erin, at least when necessary.
Recent history:
Spent the majority of January working like crazy. True, some nights we only worked 3 hours, but it adds up when you're working every single night, with a day off every week or two. But the huge inventory rush is pretty much over, I think. That means it's time to regroup and find something new. Also means I need to go to my other job and find out if I still work there.
Spur-of-the-moment trip to Portland the other day. I hadn't slept the night before, and around 9am I called my friend Adam to see if he wanted to go to the bookstore with me. Sometime between bookstores and burritos we ended up with the idea of going to Portland, even though he had just been there the previous morning. So we went and had a good time. Saw some people I hadn't seen in way too long, went to the Space Room and drank some moon juice (so maybe it was called space punch but I thought moon juice was more fun), laughed way too hard at inside jokes that were never that funny, spent the day trapped in Jason's apartment with an attention-whore cat.
Planning New York trip for March. That is certain to be good times.
And that's about all I can think of for the moment.
(I wonder why my 'favorite girls' were reset? Will I be able to remember them all? Or if not, will I be able to think of new ones? Do I decide to be a nerd and 'favorite' myself?)

Tonight I went to the record store. I returned with the following:
The Unicorns - "Who Will Cut Our Hair When We're Gone?"
The Gun Club - "Mother Juno"
Rahzel - "Make the Music 2000"
I'm pretty happy with what I got, though there was plenty more that I wanted. But I was determined to spend no more than $50. The Gun Club album I got is really strange, maybe because it was produced by the guy from Cocteau Twins, so there's a definite element of CT to some of the songs. I like it though.
The Unicorns album makes me really fucking happy. It's kind of faggy local indie pop with a rather morbid sense of humor. I love it.
And it's a known fact that everyone loves Rahzel. The man can sing and beatbox at the same time. It's magical.
What was the last album you bought? Was it as awesome as my recent purchases?

Apparently I like to update every five or six months.
Things are okay with me. I'm not exactly where I want to be in life, but in general things aren't too bad. I've surrounded myself with good people, I have a couple of jobs that aren't too terrible, and I just chopped off a good deal of my hair.
My internet access itself is not limited, it's just the fact that there are almost always people around, which tends to make me hesitant to look at porn sites.
So what's going on with my friends? Are you still alive?

Back from the dead, for the moment at least.
Thanks for the "happy birthday"s a month and a half ago, friends.

I am a licensed driver. Bitches.
I am also a creep who will take (at least) a half hour of her life, after she should have gone to bed, to read her own old journal entries from 2+ years ago. Well, the entries and their comments. I think since the last time I did this sort of thing the "calendar" feature has become a lot less useful.
I really like driving.

Since I think I still have a few friends on here, I might as well keep you updated.
I'm one of those "single" people now. How strange and awful. I won't be going into details about my feelings or anything. They're probably none of your business.
Also, I will be driving a car very soon, taking the drive test on Thursday. Those of you who have known me a while know how strange this is too. But this is good-strange.

Moved. Going to drive. Going to get things in order. Then going to see what happens after that.
