Return to Blog-Land

I haven't been broadcasting my thoughts all over the internet because they have been very confused and turned around and also I've been making secret plans. It's very hard for me to write when I have secrets. Even about celebrities or food. It's even hard for me to return emails when I have secrets.

Here's the secret! I'm moving to New Orleans! I'm moving to New Orleans to volunteer doing construction work, which I've never done before, and I am excited to learn. I think I may have ADHD or something, and I hope this is something I can do that I can actually stay engaged with for a couple of hours at a time.

I'm scared, but I think I'll regret not doing this, even for just a little bit. If I get down there and I'm miserable than I'll have a breakdown and move home and forever point to this moment as the point I screwed up so bad I could never recover from it. That'll be a good story. And I still think that if I'm not on drugs I'm doing ok. Is that naive?

I'll miss Chicago, but I'll write about that when I'm just about to leave town and am feeling really sad, or when I'm already in New Orleans and feel really sad. Right now I just feel that- oh shit, what do I need to do? feeling.

Things I need to do
- put my bike back together after taking off the wheels to replace one, and then fit it in my car
- get rid of my bed
- drive some things to Cleveland
- clean out my room
- spend some money on my brakes
- buy some work boots, and gloves, and how about some goggles too?

So hopefully now that I've told you this, I'll be able to write more.
