365 days of 40, #237

My day has taken several unexpected turns today that had left me reeling.  First of all, I sent out my first query for my script today.  I have a whole lot more to send out, but I took the first step today.  It's nice to feel like I'm making progress.  I also got a call about a job interview for next Thursday. It's another one at SLCC, this time to run a computer lab at the main campus.  We'll just have to see what happens there. 

Because I can't stand the condition of my house, this afternoon I was bound and determined to take control.  I hit Walmart and got a couple of shelving units fir the kitchen.  It's not done, but wow, it's so much better.  Lots too do tomorrow, but I have an amazing amount of motivation to get my house clean, which is all thanks to the last bit of life that happened. 

I spent time working on Confessions today and I was making up a character name.  The name reminded me of a guy who I knew back when I was in 6th grade and who I spent most of my adolescence hung up on.  Every couple of years I look up him and my other friend from that time, but I hadn't ever had any luck, until today. 

I stumbled upon the twitter account of my other friend and sent him a message to the effect of "hey, remember me?" Needless to say, he did and we spent a good hour catching up.  He then brought up the idea of getting together for lunch with some of those from the "Village", which just do happened to include the guy that I crushed on.  A few hours later, he calls me and says he'll be picking me up Monday afternoon, we're driving out to Tooele for lunch with said crush and whoever else happens to show up. 

My brain hurts.  Over the years,  whenever I would look them up, it was always just an exercise in futility because I could never track them down.  I always had in the back of my mind to the idea to say hi, but never in a million years did I think today would happen.

It boggles the mind. 

Don't get me wrong, it's going to be a blast to see them, but I now find myself facing the fear of reverting back to my beyond neurotic 16 year old self. I'm still neurotic, but at least now I can cope with much better.   For now, I'm just going to have to get my house all clean, to help keep me distracted.  Lots to look forward to in the next few days.
