I've been quiet lately, I know. A lot of it's been due to massive busy-ness, although over the long Easter weekend when I could have posted or written emails, I just didn't have it in me. Instead, I opted to nap on my couch and paint in my studio. Selfish, maybe, but therapeutic.

On Saturday I felt drained like I might have the beginnings of a cold brewing in me, although it never really grew into anything substantial. I give credit to the many hours of extra sleep I was finally able to get.

I miss Rommel and seriously considered getting a new bird, even going so far as purchasing a bag of parrot food. But then, having thought about it more, I think I need to wait longer before I can make that kind of huge commitment. I'm gone all day until 10pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays because of my German class, and it wouldn't be fair to have a pet that I couldn't devote the necessary time to. Parrots require a LOT of time and attention. Hell, I hardly have time to update my LJ, so what am I even doing, thinking I could have enough time for a bird.

What it really boils down to is that I'm beginning to feel lonely here. I need to get out and meet some people, make some friends. I have a lot of acquaintances here, but I'm still looking for some people I can really click with. The German classes I'm taking are necessary and worthwhile, but they rob me of so many hours that I don't have much energy left over to be very social. And while the people in my class are all very nice, none of them would be a good fit for me in terms of a do-things-outside-of-class friend.

There's an art opening on Thursday and I'm going to skip class to go to it. My friend Fabian is in a group show and it would be great to see what he's been working on since I last visited his studio. See, Fabian would be a great friend for me, but the fact that he's got two little boys and a wife at home makes me cautious. So I prefer to think of him as a professional friend, and a fellow comrade in the battle of paint vs. canvas. He knows a lot of other artists in town, so hopefully over time introductions can be made.

I just need to be patient.
