so the one advantage of getting up really groggy is that the day is halfway done by the time my head levels out...
like i functioned through this morning.. or tried to... but its now like a distant dream.
and at least the phone stopped ringing off the hook.
but, being awake also means the bug bites i received on Saturday night are bothering me more.
i really don't understand why mosquitoes like me so much, but i am debating getting portable bug-repellant to carry in my purse at all times.

so yeah... my weekend...
Friday night i was here till six, and then was stuck in traffic for another hour before getting home. i'm really curious about how i used to deal with traffic before cell phones - now, its just such reflex to call someone when the roads get hellish, as that distracts me just enough to keep me from getting (more) road rage.
got home, de-stressed a bit, and headed off to harvard square... and the weather was just so incredibly gorgeous, i was really glad that i can just walk there....
to my disappointment, hootenanny no longer takes newbury comics gift certificates, so i went to newbury comics, where i was again disappointed by the lack of cool things i'd remembered them having - no oversized dali posters, and a beyond shitty makeup selection.
and walking around the store gave me an anxiety attack... on the one hand, i felt like the biggest moron because i kept walking in circles without being able to find anything i really wanted, and on the other, i was made rather claustrophobic/self conscious by other people that just stood around in the isles and wouldn't move to let me walk by.
in theory, i should have just gone back home empty-handed and tried going to another store to get the pleasant shopping experience i wanted, but after more than an hour of wandering around and second-guessing myself, i walked out with a dvd player cleaner (to see if that will make the dvd player he gave me stop skipping), a lava lamp, because i've wanted one since junior high (and its got a black base, purple liquid and red lava - i can't wait to assemble it & plug it in once i find a spot for it that will not leave it vulnerable to kitty-curiousity) and an edward scissorhands tshirt (which i'm wearing today : ) ), so it wasn't all bad...
after that, getting back and showing off the new acquisitions to him, i showered & stuff & headed to his house...

saturday i went to walden pond for the very first time, and really really liked it : ) the pond itself is much bigger then i imagined, and much to my surprise, the people that raved about how clear the water is were not exxagerating - it was really nice to be able to swim out, look down, and see from how clear my feet were that there's so much visibility still there... and because we got there pretty early, and the whole day was mellow and drawin out, it made the whole day seem much longer then most of my weekend days : )
much to my surprise, i also didn't get after-sun-super-cranky when i got home, which is a very good thing. although i did get more color in that one day then a whole week in jamaica *shakes head* the only bad thing is that i couldn't eat for some reason... but i think thats mostly past me now, as i had a full dinner last night.
saturday night i went to a party in NH... which was a lot less crowded then i expected/usually find there, but it was good to get out, to see the people there that i knew, and to just be away from the norm. my only complaints are that i got totally eaten by mosqutoes, and that at times, i felt rather crowded by a couple of guys... it seems my two safeties were not as vigilant as i would have liked them to be ; P

yesterday i didn't get up until 2, and after degrogging, i spent most of the day cleaning. the house is nowhere near ideal, but now i don't cringe whenever i look around, which is definitely a good thing.
by evening, my mood was going downhill, but when he asked if i'd go to the bastille day thing at axis, i said i would go as long as he kept me company.
and i'm really glad i went. it was good to be out of the house, i was really glad i finally got to see the dresden dolls, and it was good to just sit back and people watch in a new club. it was also amusing to be at a 'goth night' at axis : )
on the other hand, i don't like the fact that i needed a babysitter. despite being able to enjoy being there, my mood was still off, and i don't know if i would have been able to force myself to stay if i didn't have someone who was sitting next to me (for most of the night) for a weird level of emotional support.

and then i went home, slept, and woke up very groggy.
but, i also seem to be hitting the snooze button less the past week and a half or so, which i think is a good sign...

and tonight is the first day of abnormal psych. here's hoping the professor is cool, the syllabus isn't insane (no pun intended) and that class gets out early today : )

And you wonder why people fear getting in the car with you. ;)
