Gray days, mini-freakouts, and more

So Halloween has come and gone. Quick synopsis of that weekend:

10/29 Went to my roommate’s friends party in SOMA as a potential Supreme Court Justice. Expected more from my liver than it could deliver.

10/30 Recovered from previous evening. Nature mocked me as it delivered a perfect San Francisco day. I cursed it.

10/31 I forgave Nature because it delivered another perfect San Francisco day. Yay outside! Rented a bike and rode out to the beach with my roommate. We checked out camera obscura and watched the sunset. Later that night, 4/5 of the 1515 Haight posse went to the Castro. New pictures on Flickr.

Last week, I was offered a job. This week I accepted the job. This troubles me on several levels.

1. I am returning to the 9-5 office gig that I never really wanted for myself.
2. I am working for an agency that doesn’t have the “shit, you work there?!” prestige
3. I am 26. I eat too much ice cream. I don’t have a bike.
4. Having a job makes me feel tied down. I won’t have the freedom to do what I want, when I want. I have relinquished a part myself to someone else.

So that’s the update. Any thoughts on growing up are appreciated.
