sweet november
its been a month.5 since my last post. Theres really not much to report. I've had a good month. Its been relaxed, i've spent time with friends, spent time thinking and unwinding, working hard and playing hard. I really couldn't ask for more. Yet, whats missing? Am I overanalyzing? Am I ungrateful for what I have? Most importantly...why can't I be "normal" ? If there is such a thing. Probably not.
We had a Halloween party at our place on saturday. It was incredible. Everyone was in a great mood, i'd made like 70 jello shots (which turned out to be very mild), i got to spend a lot of time with some friends, including one i hadn't seen in a while :) It was tiring as hell, i barely got any sleep and I was cleaning all day Sunday, but it was worth it. Everyone had a grand time and the costumes were amazing. Wish i'd put some more thought into mine, but hey. After my drag social...i didn't need to prove myself anymore ;)
The new Atlantic Station has opened near my place in Atlanta. Its strange how Atlanta is growing its own identity. It was like LA and any other southern/midwestern city, but now, its like...Atlanta. Its unique. Its made of small little disconnected areas, all in close vicinities, each with their own flavor. Theres Midtown, with the park and the restaurants and bars, East atlanta, definitely more for the indie music/alternative crowd, Little 5 points, for the REALLY alternative crowd, Cabbagetown, for the artsy loft living community, Canterbury Hill (its new, also artsy), Atlantic station, yuppie, residential, flowing into tech campus and Midtown, and then of course GeorgiaTech and the new downtown Georgia Aquarium which is going to be the biggest aquarium in the world.
Its exciting, and I suddenly want to live here. Its an affordable city, liberal, lots to do and friends. What more could I want. I just hope it lasts. What i'd love to see a big push for the arts scene here. Definitely lacking a bit.
I have realised that I cannot go home to see my family for another few months at least. I'm extremely disappointed and sad, but for some reason i'm blocking it entirely from my head. A year ago, i would have been very upset and made a big deal about it. Now...not so much. Kinda strange, knowing me and my dramatic inclinations. This may or may not mean bad things. Perhaps its good to bottle up feelings inside. Thats the way the rest of the world likes it. Maybe it has something to do with the growing emotional disconnection I feel with my family, friends and the rest of the world in general. I can't seem to stop it.
Oh well, another question to add to the growing list. Eventually they will all be answered. I'm almost sure of it.
Good night, and good luck. google that sentence. or imdb it. god i'm so all over the place today. good to be back at the talkies :) peace, happy diwali and eid mubarak.
