I would really like to write more, and now that my school year is over I hope to be able to do so. When I started this blog (I started a lot of blogs; I love the starting) I was intending to make it into a politically-savvy networking hub kind of thing. Since then, I have realized that I am not so interested in the current events side of politics (or do not have the energy or the time to keep on top of things) and I do not have the right kind of personality for networking. Both things tend to take a lot of mental energy, my amounts of which have been declining ever since they peaked at age 15. I used to know a good deal of details about every noteworthy British band between 1985 and 1995! I possessed copious amounts of data in my brain! But I started losing the capacity for accumulating such knowledge as I got older and the background noise intensified. I am not whining, just reflecting.
So what's new?
I've got a job! Come Fall I will be working as the Writing Center, which promises to be thoroughly enjoyable *and* good for the resume.
Adam and I are going to New York on Thursday for David's ordination and Grandmaster Leung Ting's seminar. Am looking forward to that.
I am getting the feeling that my parents' marriage is not going fantastically well. I am simultaneously finding it harder to talk to my mother and easier to talk to my father. I think my father relishes talking to me as a confidante, which I love, while my mother is wanting to reach out but is unable to and ends up withdrawing, mimosa-like, whenever I talk to her.
