Busy Busy Busy.

This week has been crazy.

I don't even know why I'm so tired out by it. In all seriousness, it's been a pretty average week. But I think after not really having any real things going on since last Tuesday, I've been in a state of dissociation with the normal universe.

I've also been doing some serious thinking about a lot of the people and things in my life, and trying to simplify and declutter not only my room and belongings, but my mind and heart as well.

I was having a pretty tough time of it a few days ago, and I realized the people that will be there for me if I need it, and also the people that won't stand with me when I need help. And I think that's a really valuable realization. There's something to be said for knowing who your true friends are.

On a lighter note, Jimmy is coming up this weekend. He's been best friends with Richie since kindergarten, and we've gotten to be pretty good friends over the past year and a half or so. Not sure yet what the plan is for this evening (I think we'll probably just stay in and hang out) but tomorrow night is shaping up to be a very fun time! We're going to all go see Shutter Island, the new Scorcese film that opened last night, and then there's a fundraiser party for the production of Vagina Monologues that Jenni and Alex are in. I'm not sure yet how I feel about the movie; I like Scorcese, but it's supposed to be really intense and suspenseful, which I typically get pretty scared of. But going to the movies is a special treat around here, and we're going to get Spice beforehand, so I think I'll survive.

I know it's a short post today, but there just really isn't much interesting going on these days. It always surprises me when people say "Oh, you're in New York City! I bet you're always busy, going to shows and concerts and events!" I think people forget that yes, although I live in Manhattan, I'm still a poor college student with papers to write, exams to study for, and three books to read by the end of the weekend!
