I never write this blog with the idea that anyone actually is listening but my computer. But I suppose that's how cyberspace works. You put it out there and it's there. This blog is that silent listener for me. It's my horrendously underpaid psychiatrist.

That Concert by Myself


So, I bought a ticket to Death Cab for Cutie when they are in Eugene on April 19th. I will have to head over right after I perform my show but I decided that I was just talking about how being alone shouldn't hold me back so I went ahead and bought the ticket. The truth of the matter is that I secretly hope I will run into people I know at the show so that even if I "go" alone I wont be alone during it. I'm sure I will enjoy it either way.
I wish sometimes that I was more of a reason for people to visit Eugene. None of my friends from before I moved have visited me here yet. Yes, I know there isn't much going on in this town but I am here! I like boardgames and wine, I like going out for a beer and some darts, shouldn't I be enough? I have felt lately like I have either been this shuttle for other people or for myself to visit other people. I wish that someone else was a shuttle to see me for once. That would make all of my shuttling more worthwhile. Or something.
I really don't have much to complain about. I think it is just that since I have decided to be here over the summer I really don't want to feel stuck here. I want to feel like Eugene is an enjoyable place to be and to visit. I don't want to shuttle back and forth to get away. I want to be present in my town and in my life.
