In my wandering through europe, the left-right brain war was a recurring theme in my self-absorption. For me, the tool of choice is chess, where raw calculation is only useful when informed by intuited understanding.

Not that it's any relation, but Jason just made a cool observation about me; it led to more of my own self-awareness. After having moved into my new apartment at some point in April, I have still not unpacked, completely. I have shit lying around in each direction. He said, "I think it's mental." Of course, I don't think he used 'mental,' but it will work right now for a lack of better terms. He went on to say that maybe it's because I do not want a "permanent" life in Shreveport, and that maybe I ask myself, 'Is this it?' I graduate, live in an apartment (with occasional roaches) and work in nonprofit? I'm too worried that I'll be forgotten or unseen, so I typically stay out, letting go of ever taking up a hobby. (Of course, the liquor is good, too!) I've always wanted to play an instrument (musically speaking); cook; - really, all sorts of things. Now, working, struggling, living pay period to pay period - my brain's creative side has a war with the, "Can I afford this?" side. Fuck. Thanks for posting, Christine.
