"just imagine them in your underwear"

For some reason when I was typing out the title, I wrote "your" instead of "their". I thought that was funny, so I kept it as is.

I was just thinking of one performer at AF who mentioned the old saying about public speaking...just imagine everyone in their underware...and how his audience was naked. I don't think it made it that much easier. (But hopefully a little more fun.)

I've been a little depressed this past week. Made a dental appointment for The cat. Need to make an appointment for myself, but I'm not exactly sure how to go about making an appointment for one of 10 possible people at a therapist practice that I found online.

School starts in 11 days. Crap. I am going to drop a class, and I think it will be sociology. The possibility of interactive/group work is higher in a class like that. I signed up for it mainly because I already had the book. I do have people to sign up for classes with though, so I'll have to keep that in mind for next semester.

I do have a sense of failure though. Like, I'm setting myself up for it. That is bad thinking, I can't be negative about this because that increases my chance of failing.

I'm opening up an art site to sell paintings through. I don't know how successful it will be, but I need to make some extra cash to pay for the BFC debt. I did 1+.85+.20 paintings last night. One that is most likely completed, one that was almost completed, and one that I got a lot done but still have a ways to go. I also sketched a bit last night. I was at it for a couple hours and wanted to do one of me from a picture, but it got to a point rather abruptly where I was sick of it. Drawing seems too much of a process for me.

I visited an old friend today. I haven't seen him in...almost 2 years? But we've still talked. I just had an anxiety about visiting him for some reason. I thought that we did not have enough in common anymore. Well it went fine today, but I got dizzy about in the middle of my visit. I sat in close range to him and looked at him talk the whole time, and it felt like it did when I was in class. I think focusing on something that may be visual/verbal like that for extended periods of time might be the trigger. I also developed a headache soon afterwards (my visit was about 2 hours), and it is located behind/in my lifet eye. Yeah, I still have it. Eating helped a little but it came back. This is not good, especially if this happens in class.
