If you watch Fox news, I feel sorry for you

I'm just chilling, waiting for work to happen. studying and trying to get myself up to speed on the whole "electricity" thing. Trying to get involved in some other stuff so that I can stop going to bed feeling slightly bored. Last night we ate dinner at Carrie's with a group of people and Kim made a comment about how she misses the subculture and activity of the East Coast. That totally hit the nail on the head when I thought about it. I was trying to figure out why I seemed to be surrounded by forward thinking people, yet not having as much involvement in any specific activity and I realized that things just aren't very organized out here. It is nice to be away from the dominating social cliques that tend to take a lot of metaphorical dick sucking to even be invited into, but at the same time it's unfortunate to see a whole lot of small circles meander aimlessly with no greater purpose. I don't know exactly what problem I'm trying to solve or what cause I'm trying to support, but I definitely feel a little less important not participating in any sort of big picture events these days. I know it still has something to do with not knowing as many people as I did in Richmond and not being as familiar with the events and places that they are "happening", but I also don't want to let myself use that as an excuse. I need to spend some time pondering what I want to accomplish and start working on how I'm going to do that. I'll let you know when I know.
