i'll give it to you straight and say that i woke up very grumpy this morning. no particular reason, i just assume my alarm went off during REM sleep or something. my grumpiness quickly morphed into me simply feeling sore in every way except for physically. church was fine, lunch with my family was fine (except my mom randomly invited a guest to join us, so we weren't able to have a real family conversation – joy & i were disappointed about that), then i came home and spent the afternoon in a funk. i knew tonight was tracy's austraila day party, but i felt so grumpy and sore inside that all i wanted to do was curl up into a ball in the dark. i waffled back and forth, trying to decide if i should stay or should i go, and eventually decided to make an appearance, but not to shy away from telling them i was feeling low. nothing to be alarmed about, just having one of those days. BUT, in the end, i had a very nice time. actually, simply walking there in the cold and the dark was invigorating. i plunkered-down in one spot and talked with the different people who sat the the seats beside me. it was kind of nice to chat with people i rarely cross paths with. i'm glad i went. although, the alternative probably would've been ok too.

last night i went to the banff film festival with mike & bren. it was a good time, and the films were well done. the most unexpected part of the evening was when someone started calling for the lights because a woman had collapsed or something, and we had to wait around for 20 minutes until the paramedics took her away. oddly enough, melissa was sitting right behind the woman. crazy!! mike & bren commented on the very granola crowd. i concur. it's given me heart pangs because i can't get dreads even tho i desperately want them. it's not the dreads that give me pangs, it's the reason why that hurts so badly.

well, i'm going to get ready for bed now so that i'm not inexcusably grumpy tomorrow.

what would you ask if you had just one question?
