Smooth

[biodrew]

I think I must be a paranoid person by nature. I get more worried when things seem to go smoothly. My apartment, no real problems. Within my price range, landlords seem very nice, practically across the street from where I need to end up. Two bedrooms so I have plenty of space (*hint* to all friends and family out there). I talked to the

I can definately understand that feeling. I usually feel similarly when things are going good. Then I remind myself that no matter how much I worry about the next bad thing to come along, I never really will be prepared for it when it hits. The best I can do is roll with the punches when it does. Perhaps some things are meant to happen. I certainly think so, good or bad. But then, those lessons in life wouldn't be put in front of us if we weren't the sort to ultimately confront them one way or another, ne? It definately takes alot of effort, and alot of courage to get through to where we want to be in life, but once there take the time to enjoy it! :)

In the words of a good friend, 'If yellow is the color of joy, may I walk through a field of sunflowers sneezing my head off!'

I like that saying... and am allergic to sunflowers (plus bright yellow tends to give the goth in me a headache...).
Someone once told me that if you expect the worst, you will never be disappointed. However I think if you expect the worst ALL the time, you tend to bring it on. Dunno... not that I take that advice, just a thought that seem right.

Have to agree about lessons in life. I know SOOOO many people who bitch about such and such event that occurred... but they need to remember that it was those events that were so horrible, that helped to make them stronger, and the wonderful person they are today. So yeah, confront!

Note: Have to still do lunch before Labor Day (which is when I take off).

Hehe. *pets the goth in you* Well, I very much agree with that statement. If you expect the worse in life all the time, you definately bring it on yourself. And very much agree with the latter as well! Actually follows around with my perception of parents as a whole. Parents ineviatbly(sp?) makes mistakes, and do something that theier kids will remember and dislike, or will consider as one of the most horrible moments in their life. But if it weren't for those mistakes made by our parents, and our blatant differing opinions on them we wouldn't be free-thinking! We wouldn't be differant! We would just be clones walking along in a line. Least, that's my opinion.
Yay! Confront!

Oh, and definately. Well, lemme know when you're free. I can do evenings mostly, unless you want to come to my office for lunch sometime. At this point, I'm working two jobs so time is a bit crunched.

This week is pretty insane, I am currently teaching a group of elementary school kids science in a summer camp format. I do enjoy it, but it really wears me out. I think all I do is teach and sleep lately.

Next week is not too bad. Going to have some moving companies come in to give me estimates for moving... but that should be fairly quick and only in the morning.

Email me your phone number and I'll bug you on a more personal level to make plans. drd42@yahoo.com

*hugs* i'm glad that for the most part your life is going smoothly, though i know the feeling of immense paranoia. Every time something goes right in my life i'm constantly wondering when a catastrophe big enough to cancel it out. but i hope nothing does go wrong with yours, i would hate for that to happen to you.

[biodrew]

Just live for the moment... not the catastrophe... I think... yup, sounds almost like wisdom so I'll go with it!
Not too worried, going to a state that is wonderful, my prof is a really cool person (I have connections who told me about her)... it is the leaving part that is upsetting and putting me on guard I think.
