The last time I made a to-do list, I deviated from it, fell off a ladder, and fucked myself up pretty well. I have learnt my lesson: the list is king.

• I'm so sick of it. Not only have I been working on it non-stop for the last week, I spent two weeks before that worrying about it.
• I can list about five things that I failed to do in the chapter. But I'll always be able to make a list like that, because that's what perfectionists do. I need to ...

• So tired.
• Had a most excellent conversation with Sarah, and found myself thinking afterwards that we still lived near each other, because in some ways (the best ways), it was like every conversation we've ever had. What we talk about has changed over the last two decades, but the way we talk hasn't.
• Wrote another page for the analytic chapter. Not a lot, but I didn't sit down to it until ten pm, so ...

X Cut stuff from gay chapter and put here

• Concluding paragraph that segues into gay chapter
• Go throw folders and find everything I've written on hemophiliac orgs, gay orgs, and NSM. Put it all into one doc, format it all the same, and print it. Then merge all the little docs into one big doc, because I have so much stuff everywhere that it's driving me crazy.

• Could not fall asleep until 6 am. Did not wake up until 1 pm. Must get sleep schedule back on track!
• Took yesterday off from thesis because I'd been working on it ten days straight and was going to go mad if I didn't have a 24 hour period where I didn't have to write the words 'community,' 'group,' or 'movement'.

Awesome discovery of the day: As long as I leave it on the playlist, my iPod will hold onto a song that has been deleted from the iTunes library. iPod for the win!

• I don't have anything to say about ACT UP and New Social Movements. Nothing. This is bad, because I'm pretty sure that's what my thesis is supposed to be about.
• I have to write a page or so about the Gay Men's Health Crisis.

• Was out of the house by 10 am!
• Spent an hour trying to find a Starbucks that is about five minutes away. Didn't actually find it, but I always knew where in the city I was, and I didn't ever feel lost, just frustrated. Eventually ended up at a Chapters, where a nice barista showed me where the shop I was looking for is. Stayed there anyway because it was a great place, with wireless!
