The real world is sneaking up on me. I did my best. Really, I've spent the last seven+ years of my life in this Neverland fantasy. Constantly putting off responsibility, not taking anything seriously, least of all my education. Recently I've been on this life-change kick. I've got a plan, that puts my graduation next fall.

So, here I am. Still a 25 year old...

undeserving is pissed. Even if he doesn't know it yet.
Scared of Chaka reunion show. Madison, Wisconsin. End of september. With Dillinger Four.
He'll be in Georgia. Getting paid to ride ATVs.
Not being (pop) punk rock with me.
Lame.

Anyways, I need to be awake in about five hours...I really doubt I'm going to get any sleep at all tonight. I finally got to...

I suppose its finally an acknowledgement of my seemingly constant commitment to failure, but I finally went back on medication. My psychiatrist put me on wellbutrin for my dysthymia. I'm still adjusting to them, for the past few days I've been really moody and twitchy. I really hope this stuff works out. I'm so sick of never feeling good about anything...

In other news, drunken...

Despite the fact that if you are observant you would already know this fact, I am going to say this out loud (typed out?) for the first time in an open public forum.

Hello.

My name is Jake, and I like to wear women's clothes on occasion.

Also, I am often bi-curious.

There, I said it.

Baby steps...

Back in Milwaukee now.

Lots of roleplaying, and talking about roleplaying. Dungeons and Dragons, fourth editions sucks nuts. First edition Deadlands on the other hand is way better than the D20 version. Also, I found someone else who likes Rifts...and she is a girl! WTF?

Didn't win at trivia last night. We're not scientists I guess...

More as it happens.

I love this city. I always forget how huge it is though...It took us over an hour to get downtown to see a movie on Sunday...AN HOUR! Even it rush hour traffic (that would be theoretical rush hour traffic, as all the roads that lead to downtown aren't really that busy during rush hour) in Milwaukee getting downtown from our old place took about ten...

Finally got internet back!

In Chicago, and things are keen, Sharon is resetting up the Tivo, but otherwise things are pretty much finished.

The new place is awesome, but if I had to pick my favorite thing so far, it would be the shower. Good lord. Seriously. Best shower I have ever taken. Hands. Down.

The only bummer, no time to go out and explore,...

ok...what am i doing?

Oh, fuck it.

I just wanna ride my bike!


...and listen to Less Than Jake REALLY loud.

So, my meeting with my advisor went pretty well. Things are looking good for next semester. I need to talk to the chair of my department to figure out where to go from here...

I want to take the Experimental 16mm production class. Hopefully, Rob will let me take it pre-portfolio.

I also want to get my PXL fixed/modded. That thing is going to rule,...

Christ.

I really hate loose ends and hovering about with no direction. I just wish I knew!

Ok, so...I have been in college for seven years (five at my current institution.) After all that time, I am still not officially in my major, and my GPA has slipped below a 2.0. Basically, I have a choice, I can attempt to stay and fix all of...

Ok. So. My trip was amazing. Except for that part where I got stuck at the Minneapolis airport for an entire night. That sucked. But, otherwise? Yeah, totally amazing.

Its strange to say, but I feel more connected to the members of Sharon's family that I've met, than to my own. I think I mentioned this around Christmas time, but my family has really started...
