My right shoulder hurts like a sonofabitch right now, and I have no idea why. My best guess is [possibly] overextending while changing a light bulb at work earlier tonight. All I know for certain is that it hurts like mad, and light massage doesn't seem to help any. I have financial pain aplenty (as most college students do). Especially so this semester, as I spent almost $200 on books. So Matt needs to do some penny pinching so he'll still have the money to build his computer this spring/summer. He also needs the money so he can get his tatoo. ~*Sigh*~ No real emotional pain to speak of--longing would be a much better term. Tina has been in Scotland three days now; it's been almost two weeks since I last held her in my arms. I think about her constantly when my attention isn't intently focused on something else. She is like that sliver of sunshine that draws your attention from the corner of your eye while you're driving. Not that I am calling Tina an unwanted distraction--far from it. I feel safe saying that meeting and coming to know Tina, and now having feelings for Tina has been one of the best things that's ever happened for me. Well, my shoulder is seriously bugging the shit out of me now, and I need to head up to the SRI meeting anyways. Peace and painkillers to all.
