defragmentation
cripes! there are so many things i haven't done yet. i just went on the cumsa website after ( finally) booking my tix, and found out that you have to do things like carry your x-ray plate in your handluggage, buy surge protectors and do lots of little things that you need to live. its surprising how many details there are that actually constitute your life. i mean you minus away the big glaring things like food and clothes and computer and books and money, and you find that the big rocks only fill up one tenth of the glass. or one tenth of the suitcase, in this...case.congrats evan! all the best milia and chelle. diving licences.. in the first few weeks and from my experience at least, are very empowering-- as a concept. its like nice to know that you can hit the roads without fear of being stopped and asked for your licence, but there really isn't alot else that changes. the qualified drivers give you hell as ever, and roads are a pain to drive in. so many cars.
idea fac is getting me on another gig. dunno whether i'll take it on. nowadays there are opp costs. not tangible financial ones, but opp costs in terms of time and company. its like trying to coallate all the relationships you have, big and small, individual and communal, into some semblance of order so that you can update all of them. its like doing defragmenting, to be so unromantic. i am convinced that it is a real gift to be able to do such things. some people, like stella, or uncle aaron, just have it. its like, effortless. for me, i have to invest in it. however it is almost always rewarding. people are generally rewarding.
but of course, there are always exceptions to this rule. and here is where blogging breaks down again, cos i have the sudden urge to spew a profanity followed by your name, but i don't want everyone to know how gross either of us are.
