elvendollFriday - i believe Friday sucked. work was ok, but after i came home i felt very blah. i remember moping a lot. i tried going to the club to cheer myself up, but only saw like 6 people that i knew, and wasn't comfortable enough to dance, to i just left after a half an hour.
came home, moped some more, and eventually went to bed.
on Saturday, i woke up several times during the morning, and then finally got up around 12:30. i had 2/3 of a PB&j sandwich with a cup of tea, which reinforced in me that i really have been eating smaller breakfasts lately - still don't know how i feel about that.
after degrogging and chilling for a while, an overdue bee bit me in the butt, and i did laundry and the dishes, and went to harvard square to do my holiday shopping. i was surprisingly successful if you negate the parking ticket which i got (and yes, i drove there - it was damn cold, and i was afraid of losing track of time & needing to come home in a hurry). as part of my purchases, i got my 10 year old sister a poster (and i tried really hard to find it online, but for the life of me, i can't remember/find the artists name, or the name of it - it has a little girl with a book, and different scenes as part of her surroundings - actually, its here) which, when i think about it, is simply projection. this same poster used to be in my 7th or 8th grade spanish classroom, and i liked it then. then, it showed up in an english book, junior or senior year in HS, which impressed me, then, (i am pretty sure i am remembering correctly) i saw the original at the tate gallery in london, and it somehow stuck in me - and now i am giving it to my sister. however, i think i also need to get her a harry potter poster to complete the desired effect, which would be for her room to be decorated with artsy posters rather nsync and britney spears. and yes, i do realize how manipulative this may come off - but her, if she really does look up to me, i might as well steer her towards the good, right?
along with the shopping, i also dropped by c.'s work, and briefly saw him, as it was really hectic in there. i really hate the fact that i never have a goddam clue as to where i stand with him and why *puffs up* and experience with b. tells me that a direct confrontation does not always yeild the desired results.
wandering around, i, yet again, realized just how infrequently i venture out - for weeks on end, the supermarket can be the only place i am which isn't my house, my car, work, the club(s) or a friend's house. it reminded me just how much i love being in a city, and how something is still off in me, because it takes an random (and infrequent) burst of energy to do something like that.
i ended up getting home around 4:30, in time to bring to fruition another present idea, and get ready for/stress over the company holiday party.
i don't know if it was me coming down from the emotional high earlier in the day, somewhat stressing over being late, or walking into a very full room, but the first hour of it featured some lovely anxiety for me, and by the time d & d showed up, i was very happy to run to them for cover : )
overall, and especially after the first drink sank in, it was a good time : ) (and no, i didn't end up changing). the racing was an experience - i didn't dislike it, but the way the carts took turns made it not very enjoyable for me, and i later realized that if i had gone as fast as the carts could, i would never have had the strength to overcome the lack of power steering.
after i got home, i decided it would be a good idea to catch up with tobi at tt th bear's - at the very least, to pay off my debt to her, and to stick around if i am in the mood. unfortunately, i didn't think enough to change out of my interview shoes, which i was wearing to the party, and had blisters on both of my feet by the time i actually got to the bar - definately one of those things i should have known better then to do. i actually ended up hanigng out there with tobi, scuba, and some friends of theirs till there was a concensus to leave, and at that point, to migrate to tobi's house - its been a long time, and i am really glad i got to spend time with her, and everyone else there...
i ended up crashing there, and, in the morning, was taught where scuba's house is *mwuahaha*
after dropping scuba off, i came home, showered, spazzed out a bit because bill wasn't picking up his phone, and then drove to nashua to hang out with him for a bit.
we had brunch at denny's - which is good when you only do it every couple of months or so, and then went to do more holiday shopping. headlines was actually quite disapointing, but we also made it into the maul, which was a success in botht hat i got to cross two people off my list, and neither one of us got overly aggravated (though five minutes longer in there would have done it!).
and now i am home. dunno if'll attempt venturing out tonight yet.
