Hang in there, comrades.

With my debatable skills at multitasking and general impatience with my surroundings, I think I may be on my way to really 'getting' how to do this.

I'm aware that I can become overly invested in my stories, and that the shock of certain truths can catch me by surprise, but I've noticed that the more I do this, the easier it is to jump between subjects.

The easier it is to disconnect from unpleasantness.

Or at least that's what I'm claiming.

I'm at school waiting for the presentation from Ethan Watters. I've been flipping through 'Crazy Like Me' like a mad woman trying to squeeze every ounce of his excellent research and calculated preparation into my own psyche.

I'll let y'all know if it works.

See you guys in about half an hour.
