On not going...
Jul. 8th, 2004 10:19 pm"So this weekend is Anthrocon, the big furry con. And I'm not going.
Next weekend is Artscape, the big artfestival/artcar show in Baltimore. And I'm not going.
Partially it's the lack of funds, and the poor-running (and not yet decorated) car. But I'll be ho0nest partially it is a disinterest in trekking way out somewhere. I've been hermiting for so long it's being really hard to break out of it. I'm trying but it's hard. I want to go out and do stuff locally, but getting the nthusiasm to go out on my own and do something is damn near impossible. I need to just start going to stuff, like I did back in college. But I also need to find stuff to go to. To that end I have started trying to organize stuff on various mailing lists I'm on.
I really need to get out of htis apartment more. And not just 'go to a friends house' (though that is also good), but out doing things and seeing things. This is the only way I'm going to meet new ppl and expand my social circle in the local area.
What I also need is someone(s) to drag me out of this chair and haul me off to do things. If I have partners in crime I'm, more likely to think of things to do, things I wouldn't bother with by myself."
