it's been kind of an issue since we've been in houston. me being bored. and in general i don't have much of a problem with it. i'm not a socialite. crowds and loud places make me want to cry. but i miss my friends. i miss sitting around and drinking coffee and playing canasta. i miss spending lazy friday mornings on the couch waiting for leah to get ready. and going to the occasional (and very very rare) show. and having lunch in a place that caters mostly to rich housewives and making fun of them and looooving the food.
but i suppose the issue is that i seem to be avoiding making friends here. and i'm okay with that. i know i shouldn't be such a hermit, but honestly, i'd rather spend 3 hours making shrinky dinks than having awkward conversation. and that's that. if i found someone who could do both (talk and help bake plastic), i'd be ecstatic. good friends are hard to come by.
back to boredom: i read an article last night about how boredom is almost a lost art. i happen to agree that some of the best things in life come from feeling bored: deep thought and creativity. for instance, my job requires very little thought, and i end up coming home with lists of new project ideas almost daily.
also, i have no idea what i'm talking about.
i need to start taking german classes.
they played the mountain goats on the bryant park project today. (yay)
hello.

where did you move from? i am just curious. i don't think i've ever made a shrinky dink, but i think i'd love it.
last night i sat on my couch making a small brown bunny out of felt, watching wayne's world, and it was way better than any awkward conversation anywhere! oh yeah, it involved a thai falafel wrap and soy delicious too.
we moved here last summer from oklahoma city. it's been a pretty serious shock to the system.
oh man, shrinkies are the best. and so is felt. they tie. and thai, too. it's a 3 way tie.
we should craft sometime.
i would love to craft with you! i was looking at your older blog entries, and saw that you might live near rice? my parents live right by hermann park, and i stay with them sometimes. maybe we can hang and craft in houston (or if you're ever in austin). i am from bartlesville, oklahoma originally!
we are totally doing that! i live in montrose, right next to la strada. i've never been to austin, but it should be arranged! also, my sister lives in bartlesville :)
