Last night at dinner with friends I got a wee bit of shit for never writing here anymore. Granted I was two drinks in, as was everyone else, so the exact comments are fuzzy.
I think it boils down to…drunk people who love me still think I have shit to say. Or people are just drunk.
There are certainly times when I have something to say but then I get busy. By busy I mean I drink a bottle of wine and watch a Mila Kunis movie instead. Or do what I’m doing currently, nursing a hangover from last night, halfway watching an episode of True Life (My Parents Are Cutting Me Off! Fucking first world problems….) and halfway trying to pull a blog out of my ass.
I’ve got a few entries flopping around in my head but I suppose first I should let you all know what I’ve been doing. And yes, by you all I basically mean Anja since she’s the only one who reads this shit who doesn’t have a Facebook page so therefore doesn’t read my stupid status updates every day. So…Hi Anja, you’re lovely and I miss you. Here’s what I’ve been up to:
-We bought a truck. A big one.
I’m learning to drive stick again after years of automatic cars. It’s like riding a bike. Except for hills. I’m driving all around town in order to avoid stoplights on hills. It’s also odd driving something this freakin’ big. I’m almost positive I side swiped an old lady or a child while coming out of a driveway today.
-We’ve been being more social than normal which is totally fucking with my head as far as the moving process goes. I was going to post some social pictures but I’m too lazy.
-I’ve been working on music ( I use that term very, very loosely) due to the awesome gift of a kick ass professional music program for my computer. I was having trouble getting inspired for a while seeing as The Boyfriend doesn’t make me miserable enough for angst ridden songs and I’ve never been very good at happy love songs. Then someone went and pissed me off to a point that I was able to write a pretty dang good fuck you song. It keeps getting stuck in my head so that must be a good sign. Working with all the beats is a great way for me to feel productive even if I don’t leave the house.
-I’ve gotten back into therapy. I only mention this because I’ve been pretty open about getting on medication, how I had to go about getting it and how it has made me feel. The numbness comes and goes. So much of it has to do with how much I’m accomplishing or how much I’m allowing myself to invest in life here. Therapy has been awesome because the chick that I’m seeing refuses to let me get away with shit. She’s also helped me be more calm, more rational and more able to keep my energy and emotions away from people that I don’t need to be putting them into. That feeling helps a tremendous amount at work as well as in my personal life.
I really have nothing else exciting to report. Just cooking, baking, drinking, fucking, working, playing and any other action word you can think of. Life is good.
Now I’ll go write something funny!

i’m not anja, but i read & enjoy every post! so glad to see you writing again.
Oh Arinn, I was just gobbling up all of your posts that I missed. I go through obsessive phases where I read a million blogs then I just quit. But I always lurk yours.
Keeping up with you is seriously the only reason I have ever considered joining Facebook. Luckily I don’t have to do that since you have this lovely blog.
