"a lot of my anxiety about interacting with other people wasn't because I was afraid of their reaction, but because I was afraid of my *own* motivations and potential actions"
Ever spend a lot of time worrying about the 2- or 4-deep effects of your actions? There's a recipe for paralysis.
I'm not sure whether it would be better to haul you to the ATL, or to go visit Austin. If life starts to suck, I'll have to bother my contacts in that city (though it's still too far south, damnit. Why can't I ever meet people who could get in a job in, I don't know, Vancouver, Portland, or Seattle (or, for that matter, Ireland, Iceland, or New Zealand)?)
