completely distracted from anything to do with safety

that was a quote from a voicemail i got from mike eariler, but it describes how i've felt lately. like 85 percent awesome and 15 percent totally bottomed-out, but either way just absolutely unconcerned with long-term consequences. for once. there are a few chances for me to make a major ass of myself in the near future, and i'm definitely going to take them. stay tuned for the fallout.

get out from under the hindenburg...

oh, the huge manatee?

i wish i had something cool to say. i think i might survive this grad school thing after all. i don't want to get ahead of myself...i'm not even to the metal-rocking stage yet.

what is this blog post about?

hmm...i miss flowers and am looking forward to snow. and backpacking. and getting out of here occasionally. but also to working on shit that i actually care about. to actually caring about other people who don't just turn out to be like love-drains. w00t. i'm becoming less scared each day...and thusly more likely to do something insane. but that's cool. that's my thing. banking on other people's understand is scary, but when your only other choice is a life lived in fear of doing your thing...why the fuck are you here?

something more coherent later, hopefully.
