shifting gears

Alice is almost complete. Time to shift to Greetings at a theatre across town.

Ever get to one of those times when you wish you could just be a hermit? About now, I really dislike people. Not just one or two, or several, but people as a whole. Nothing antagonistic, I just don't want to be around ANYBODY. I'm tired of the whole damned inter-personal relationship thing. It confuses me, and I'm inept at it; and I'm not willing to put in the effort right now to try to understand it. I just want to go away with my dog, and live in a cave. Dogs are ok. Nothing complex with them. You love them, and they love you back. Even when you have to take them to the vet, knock them out, have a stranger scrape their teeth and make their mouths sore, clip their claws so that their feet are sore, and cut away those annoying cysts around the sensitive areas, making them sore, they still love you.

I'm thinking more and more about quitting this place. The people were the reason I enjoyed it so much. Now, everything I do either rankles me or somebody else. It's no longer pleasant. I hope I can at least last the season, but wouldn't be surprised if I didn't. Open-ended straight draw with a flush draw on the side; almost even money. (yes, cable is showing WSOP and WPT a lot)
