I suppose it's time for me to come out of the slump of losing my hard drive, and thus most of my hard work for the past couple of years, and keep on going with life. I really need to clean my apartment...feeling despondent and drained tends to lead to laziness and I let things pile up (like the dishes in my sink and the clothes on the floor). I seem to have lost my apetite again. I go through these phases where I'm constantly hungry and can eat anything and everything in sight. Then I go through times where I know I should be hungry, and I kind of am, but nothing sounds good. This evening I was watching City of Angels on TV. I love that movie and hate it at the same time. Kind of the same as with Moulin Rouge. They just don't end the way I think they should. But they both put me in a really cuddly mood where I just want to cling to the guy I love and never let go. My entries in here tend to sound so depressed and negative. I'm not really that way most of the time...or at least I don't think I am. I am emotional, and there are times when I get thinking about things so large and complex that I become overwhelmed, but I'm really not such a downer in person (or at least I hope I'm not). I do tend to analyze things and ask a lot of questions, but it's not because I'm trying to look at the negative side...I just like to know about things from a lot of angles. We had a guest speaker this week who had a wonderful analogy for the difference between the way men and women think. Men take things step by step, like a ladder. They start at the bottom and work their way up, going through each logical step. Women weave around, like a web. We start over here, work our way over there, then across and back down and over again until we've covered every angle. Even though our approach seems scattered and illogical, a web is actually one of the strongest structures. It's amazing what I choose to talk about when I really don't have anything to say. I just thought I should update since it's been a while. Things have mostly been same ol' same ol'. Travis and I did make cloaks this last weekend, though. And we'll be wearing them to RenFest this Saturday. So if anyone else is going, maybe I'll see you there! Until then, take care!
