podlingThis weekend I've had a hard time convincing myself that I don't need to get up and go to work. I've been working a lot, but I still think that my subconscious could do me a favor and recognize that it's the weekend. But then again last weekend I had to be at the theater both days, and technically they were weekend too, even if I was paint splattered and working all day. This weekend I'm spending mostly alone, in my place, trying to get things done (which I'm obviously doing well, as I've posted twice now and have watched at least 2 dvds). I've decided I need to get rid of many possessions as well, I just haven't figured out what to do with them. Though I think I've found a home for some spare shelving.
Anyway, so last week I had a couple conversations with this one guy at work in which we covered... specifics about his family, my family, our vacations and holiday plans, my new job, the spending habits of each of us, the fact that he's not gay and I'm not a lesbian, whether each of us wants a dog, and how neither of us has time for a dog. And it occured to me that I often have these sorts of conversations with people (well, I often have revealing conversations, though generally not that kind of lump sum of info on a person), but I don't usually get to what I really want to know, what I think would make more sense out of it all, 'what do you want in life?' Part of it could just be that on the telephone at work is not the right time or place. But also it's so ephemeral in a way, and it's not easily defined, and it's a rude question to ask depending on your level of intimacy, and it's hard to put into words (which yes, I already said, but it is very hard, so I figured it bore repeating). I also wonder why people open up to me so freely, but that's something else entirely.
