Well – we’re moved. With the new zip code, I’ve technically moved back into Baltimore City again and I think I’m very, very happy. I’ve got to do some address change crap, call some companies and make sure they know where to send my bills, that sort of thing. Heather’s dropping off a desk tonight and I need to buy two lightbulbs, but other than that – completely moved.

One of the biggest challenges of my move was moving my queen-sized boxspring. After determining that there REALLY was no way it was getting in whole, I took my friend Mitzi’s advice and cut it in half. Or rather – Brennan cut it in half. I feel it gave him a strange kind of wicked joy. [years later, with no memory of HOW we got it INTO the basement, Brennan let me borrow a device he called his “Satan’s Tool” to cut it further apart to get it OUT again… – rob 9/29/19]
Hee! I have friends with spectacular dreadlocks! I’m so freakin’ tempted! Though I’ve drawn myself with dreadlocks for as long as I can remember (going back to self-portraits in high school, where someone pointed to the drawing and introduced me to the word) I don’t think I’ll ever have the guts to get them. I like my silky locks.

Thank you so much to Rowan and Paul and Ash and Brennan and Kristen and Amy for helping and clearing and moving and sweating and making it all really painless. And especially thanks to whoever got Brennan that awesome saw that allowed us to cut my box spring in half in like… 30 seconds.

INFINITE POWER!!! (no longer an itty bitty Living space)

Unfortunately, though I’m in Love with my new room, I woke up this morning… or at least returned to full consciousness, after having barely slept at all. I feel like I’ve hitanother one of my hideous non-sleep cycles. Tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling, closing my eyes and feeling my hair twitch around me with every shift of the air.

Today my body and my mind are exhausted and I’m fighting the urge to be snappish and growling. I hate feeling like I just don’t want to be bothered with people. I LIKE people – but right now I want them to just leave me alone while I do something quiet and methodical.

Oh so quiet. Oh so methodical.
