I went skydiving again* last weekend, something I organized with people from work and friends in the area – things went well and everyone had a good time. I’ve become the activities list manager for the NG PDP program also... so I’m going to be trying to get more of these engineers to do whacked out shit.
Homecoming is this weekend, it should be a good time – if you’re going and I don’t know, drop me a line at four43 five twenty seven tripple1 four. I'm looking forward to seeing many of you.
Other than that I’m just trying to do well at my job and take care of all this crap that you have to deal with as an adult (read: auto insurance). Oh yes, I have a new assignment at work (already) - I’ll tell you the story sometime if you want to hear it. So far my new assignment is pretty cool. I’d love to tell you all about it but I’ve been getting in a bit late, so I gotta go to bed early (sheesh!).

Too bad I'll miss this. If it wasn't on a week day I’d consider taking the train up for it.

So far, since I got to Baltimore I’ve done virtually nothing right. Not in action (well, some) but in attitude. Except for, perhaps, starting to organize a large tandem skydiving group from work - that is my saving grace right now.
Cleaning and furnishing my apartment, my job, setting up utilities and finding my way around, dealing with the moving company, eating at local places and the rest... all approached as chores. I realized it today after I came home, cooked dinner and went on the internet and did NOTHING (well, feeble attempts to do things). Why didn’t I take a walk? I still don’t know the area all that well. There are things to be photographed, local shops to be seen and exercise to be had. The realization that since I got here, I’ve taken maybe two exploratory walks really made me think. Getting wicked jealous of Ed’s adventure pointed me in the right direction also. I've not been pushing like I feel I should.
This isn’t the first time I’ve felt like I lost it. So often I have it. Then I forget it... only to remember. I suppose that’s part of it.
Enough. Now it’s on.

Today I declare myself an adult.
Legally I've been an adult for the past four and a half years, obviously that’s not what I’m talking about. I didn’t have a sudden insight as to what maturity is either. The defining action was simply taking my 2$ IKEA scissors and cutting apart my dad's credit card.
good bye old friend For a little while now I’ve been taking care of all my financial responsibilities, something I've done on and off before, but always relied on my parents for some help. Now I'm totally off the sauce. And it’s something I’ve been dreading and looking forward to for a while now.
Weird.
