Well here I am in Austin. The move was really hard, but only because I am just spectacularly lazy and addicted to the Internet. And, I did it. Now I am here in this place where I know many relatives and a few potential friends, but really don't know what to do with myself at all.

Today I will hopefully get my sad, broken laptop back from the laptop store. I really want to see the complete reel of Metropolis, which is here for 3 more days. I was down in the dumps about not having a friend to come along, until I remembered that the majority of my friends from home wouldn't have gone to see a 145 minute silent film with me either. My mom says she is going with me, even though she hasn't seen a movie in a theater for years (not hyperbole, she just doesn't). Moral of this story: moms are great and important even when you are 24 and think that you're an adult.

Yeah, I miss my friends so much. This city has a lot of really exciting things to do and I am doing a lot of them, by myself. I'm excited, but it's all new and overwhelming. It's ok, we got this.
