October

October is promising to simultaneously be the most stressful and epic month of the entire year.

The weeks leading up to November 2 will kill me if they haven't started to already. I'll look forward to the finish line and the end of the elections, hopefully with Prop 23 nowhere in sight. My distaste for public speaking makes announcements and class raps painful. I'm going to give myself an ulcer.

On the plus side where the grass is greener, I'm going to spend a glorious weekend adventuring around Santa Cruz, San Francisco, and Berkeley with an Arcade Fire concert to top it all off. My life will be complete.

Back to the not-so-fun sector, I'm an exec in 3 busy, busy organizations... sleep eludes me. Once again, I spread myself too thin. I'm either doing too much or not enough, but it's a fine line in my mind.

On the plus side again, my birthday is on October 6. This means two birthday parties the following Saturday: one with mommy (<3) and one Woodstock-summer-of-love-themed one with friends. I'm looking forward to good food, amazing costumes, and an epic dance sesh.

Sadly, I have yet to find a date.

Yet the good in that is that I'm still a free bird.

I have Wednesdays off from work.

But have no time to watch Modern Family

I met a bunch of fun Europeans last weekend.

But my subtle, awkward humor's lost in translation.

There are tons of amazing enviro-events coming up.

But I don't know how to be in 2 places at once.


It's a complicated and silly life I lead, a complicated and silly life indeed.
