It's late. I don't plan on sorting my ramblings into paragraphs this evening. I'm just that lazy. I have no idea what kind of direction this blog is going to take. I'm pretty schizophrenic in terms of interests these days, so it's kind of like a verbal deluge at times. Right now, I'm at home in Erie, so I have a little bit more time to spend on writing every day. Not like it really matters - I'm the only person reading this blog - but I really want it to be useful. If not useful to me, then at least mildly interesting to whomever might stumble upon it. Granted it will be a jumble of ideas for the next couple weeks; I am optimistic that it will eventually become more cohesive. Or maybe not. Maybe I'm hoping that my life in general becomes more cohesive. I honestly can't complain about anything right now. 2006 is winding down and it has definitely been full of highs and lows. I'm not so much up to detailing these highs and lows, but, at this very moment, I'm on a high note. I start a new job January 15th and I guess that I'm both excited and nervous. To be expected, right? It's vaguely reminiscent of starting the first day of school all over again. I realize that I went through this a little less than two years ago, but honestly, setting foot in a new place never gets any less intimidating. Like I said, this isn't the first time that I'm in a place where I hardly know a soul. I definitely hope that it's not the last either. I've come to the conclusion that I thrive on this type of situation. I get distracted easily. I like the anonymity of it all. Maybe that's why I decided to come to New York. After living in a moderately sized town and then going to college in a pretty small town, I was ready for a change. Sometimes, I wish that I could be the center of attention. Most of the time, I just enjoy being able to exist in my own little world, doing exactly as I please. In Manhattan, I can come and go freely (most of the time) and nobody could really care less. I enjoy that for the time being. This is an abrupt end but it's no longer late, it's early so I have to get to sleep. Goodnight.
