It is down to the final stretch for my life here in Austin, and even the most irritating things I used to cringe at I now find myself cherishing like the last bite of a breakfast taco. And yes, it is greasy but still oddly satisfying. Nostalgia is coloring my every experience, and I am trying to remember what it is like to be an Austinite before life shakes things up for me once again.
In the meantime, I am tying up loose ends, and generally just making sure I have my shit in order. Doing schoolwork above all else, making sure I drink enough water, not drinking until the middle of the night and avoiding any harmful or annoying relationships I have cultivated around town. If I text you back, congratulations! We are still friends.
Yet lately I have been also finding myself less loyal to places and people, especially the relationships I have had that seem like a give-receive relationship. Those being the ones that bum rides and never say thanks, or coax me into hanging out simply to try to sleep over that evening(I seem to be attracted to the car-less and the temporarily homeless, but some of us DO pay rent.) And let me tell you, this type of passive aggression takes time, it takes finesse. Oh, and the next person who makes me feel guilty for not going downtown to drink after hours of class, shuffling from building to building, doing labor at Taos and working the sales floor at Buff Ex will get the wrong end of friendship stick, because I am really tired of the run around.
Man, that felt good.
So tonight I will have a few margaritas with Sierra and talk about our trip to Europe, and go home and read up on advertising for the rest of the evening. No more running around for people that might as well be strangers to me. No more apologizing or beating around the proverbial bush for these guys. Simplicity and necessity for the next month, and if you don't like it, sign off on me now.
