Update for a pre-retrograde Period
May. 24th, 2008 11:12 pmFor those of you unaware, Mercury goes retrograde on Monday and will stay there until the 19th of June. Expect messed up communication and misunderstandings.
There's usually a period of time before and after that is also a bit messed up, too. I don't know if this one is dead on or what, but things have gotten interesting around here.
M is moving out. Yeah, she's done this in the past, saying she's movingthen not doing it, but this time it's for real, because the moment I find someone to take her place I'll cart her crap out to her car myself if I have to. I'm done. I can't be the one who doesn't say anything just to spare her feelings. She's loud, abrasive, creeps out my friends, goes into a rage at the drop of a hat, shows strong signs of social ineptitude, and refuses to accept responsibility for anything in her life. I'm through. Yeah, we've been friends for almost 24 years. So what? I'm still upgrading my friends, and I want people who don't have constant problems paying their bills, people who can take care of themselves instead of always looking for the meal ticket. I'm not even going to relate how much she owes me, because several of you would slap me silly for letting her spounge off me that much. But that train stops here, because I've had more than enough, and I am not going to take it anymore.
This has been like lifting a 900 lb gorilla off my shoulders. I can't express the relief I feel from taking this step, and everything seems a bit happier now that I'm out of that situation.
With any luck, the studio will be fully functional by midnight tomorrow. Words fail to express how happy that'll make me, because I can create again. I have several things running around in my head, and I'm looking forward to getting them realized. I also have the drum kit in place and set up so I can play it, and I've come to the realization that right now I suck on drum kit. I'm working on improving that, however.
A friend of my mom's is changing out her living room, because she doesn't like the leather couches she's got, and she's going to give them to me. That'll mean I have a couch, loveseat, and chair, all in matching leather, for free. This should be rather cool.
I keep finding other things I like about Denton. It's a really cool place, and there's a lot of fun stuff to do around here and great places to go to.
As for school, my first semester turned in a 3.5. I almost made an A in my Multicultural Music Therapy class, but missed it by a few points. Guitar is another matter, and it was the main thing that brought things down. It's such a foreign paradigm to me, I'm going to have to work extra hard on it to get good enough on it to pass my proficiency exam on it.
We're still planning a housewarming party when we get the furniture in here and M is gone. I'll post details when I'm sure of when it'll be.
