The Importance of Absurdity

Don't you just love it when you write a novel of a post and then it won't publish for you? Yeah, me too. Although, I didn't lose it. But I did decide not to post it after all. You didn't miss much. Just that I feel completely out of place in Durham now and hardly even know my own city, and that I'm having a hard time finding a new job (and thus quitting my current job) because my assistant manager is so frickin' cool. Like I said, not much.
On a mostly unrelated note...actually, scratch that...on a very much related note, I went driving today. It drove me crazy to be in the house all day. I know that it's Easter and you're supposed to spend it with your family, but I just couldn't. I had to get out. But, of course, nothing's open. So I just went driving. For a good hour or so. More, actually. I started driving out to the lake, on 751, but I decided that since I'm probably going out there Wednesday, I didn't want to drive there and back twice in a week. So I just started making random turns whenever I felt like it. And I somehow ended up in Wake County. That's always fun. I just love driving by myself. I mean, it's always great to have someone in the car that you enjoy talking to. Car rides bring forth good conversation. It's like a rule or something. But I really enjoy driving by myself too. Usually, when I'm driving by myself, I talk to myself. Or rather, not so much to myself, but to absolutely no one and nothing. Today though, I went a good 45 minutes before saying a word. I had SpencerAcuff Live at Cat's Cradle on (which should come as no great surprise, considering it hasn't been out of my car's cd player for more than 24 hours in the month and a half I've had it), but I wasn't really listening to the music. I was just enveloped in my thoughts. And believe me, I had plenty to work through. I dunno, driving (especially in the rain) is just good for my soul.
