June 6- Catch-up

Oh, hey. It's me, just looking to give a brief re-cap of how June's going so far...

I've been successful in catching myself as I begin to twirl my hair, and have been successful in not biting my nails, though I will certainly need to cut them tomorrow so that they won't be a distraction all weekend. One thing I've noticed is that these habits have become so subconscious that I get angry when I catch myself doing them for the simple fact that they are so casual. This can be altogether quite frustrating, as I didn't realize just how attached to nervous tics as it seems I am.

Anyway, I am not sure whether this behavior will warrant a haircut (I hope not) or not, since I rather enjoy being able to grow my hair out as a declaration of owning myself...(more of that notion to come as part of the 25th anniversary reflection piece, to come probably Friday when I have a little bit more down time)... in the meantime, I've done a very good job of catching myself and not getting carried away. Curbing this behavior has a few upsides, including not pulling my own hair out (I don't have a job or kids or lady friend to give me an excuse to do this, so I should probably bask in that...).

Meanwhile, I realize that I am behind in my posts. Rest assured that that is because of the fact that I AM in fact looking for work and keeping myself busy in my 26th year. I will reach 30 substantial posts by the end of the month, and HOPEFULLY will actually be all caught up by the time the weekend rolls around, particularly since I have a big weekend coming up.

Anyway, tonight I spoke with Evita- finally- and there are myriad topics to cover from this conversation. At this point, however, it is 3:30 am and so I will choose to head to bed before getting to some of the most satisfying nuggets in the conversation. Let's just say that, as always, my interaction with her has been inspiring. Goodnight, all.
