Exponential Potentials

I woke up to a text from Julian asking me for help writing a character statement. I looked it up and it's bassically what I did for Matt before his trial. I told him how to write one and when he was still hesitant, told him to just write whatever positive traits and experiences he can think of and I'll write it for him. I love playing Cyrano.

A few days ago, Tim sent an invite on behalf of Tony for us to go to dinner in Oceanside on Saturday. To encourage me to go despite my impatience when it comes to travel, he suggested I make a playlist for the trip. I can obviously do that, but I wanted to be like a contestant on a reality show and filter my musical taste through theirs. It's one advantage in having broad tastes. In almost any genre, I can find music I like. He requested 80's music, but granted one non-80's song so I could include a Kelly Clarkson track. I meant to start it yesterday, but I got caught up listening to the Todd Roeth's version of Big Black Car by Gregory Alan Isakov on repeat instead. Try to contain your surprise. Tim reminded me so I went on the hunt. Wikipedia, for all its power, does not have a list of every song released in the 80's. And since I'd hold it over me forever if there were particular favorites that I forgot, I asked FHA's help. Luck favors the prepared. Since Colleen mentioned wanting to feed the birds down there me, I asked Tony if she could join. I also reached out to Ryan since he's not on FB anymore. It was brief, but I feel like just establishing contact outside of FB creates a positive social link.

Thinking about mustelids got me thinking about 5th grade, when I was obsessed with ferrets. And before that when I pored over every book from every mythology I could find. If the internet had just been a standard utility, I might even have been the scholar my dad so wanted me to be. Trying to map out how between that and a tiny by of self-awareness, I could have realized that I would do better with work-at-your-own-pace programs. Websliding Doorsing that out spiraled my mind out with the expanding universe of implications. I posted it as a query to others. I like that my teenage surreal curiosity could come in handy socially these days. I'm ecstatic that getting people to comment on something unique and...honestly pretty stonery, would give them a break from the undercurrent miasma of pessimism.
