MAN. I moved to the Bay Area about... oh, a week and a half ago, and today I took the rapid transit into San Francisco for the first time. sdglkhsdg It was pretty amazing, but incredibly overwhelming, also. The stop I got off at (I was meeting friends) was smack-dab in the middle of a questionable part of town. I spent about forty-five minutes chilling outside the station, talking to HOMELESS CRAZY PEOPLE about, among other things: pet coyotes, poetry slams, hospital visits, what it's like to kill a man, and Joni Mitchell's Blue album. LOL WHAT. The guy who brought up that last one then performed an impromptu rendition of "California" for me while we sat there. Can I get back on the turnip truck, please?
I have come to realize in the last few days that taking time off from college is not as liberating as you might think. It is in some ways, but in others it just ups the ante of stress that much more. I keep feeling like I should be figuring things out, reading important books, and Doing Stuff, and instead I'm just kind of kicking around. I still have another two months before I'm officially eating up ~time off~ and not just enjoying summer vacation, but still. I'm going through one of those periods where I keep asking myself "what am I doing with my life??" Answer: IDK! Talking to homeless people, I guess!
I'm also working on a couple of fics. I have reams and reams of half-finished stuff sitting around on my computer from the last six months, but I think I'm finally making some progress, which is exciting. I signed up for![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif)
whenthewarsover as a kind of personal challenge, because fluffy fic has never been my strong point. I have fretted before about a fic being "too schmoopy" because it ended with Sam and Dean being happy. \o/ So curtainfic is something I would like to do once, at least. It feels good to be back in the groove of writing again. I had actually forgotten what it's like to sit down and have ideas and words flow, instead of stuttering out. This is good!
Jumping topics completely, I feel like my LJ universe is way too small.
