the lamb

i need to start remembering that it's winter outside and that i should remove my boots when i enter my house before the melt all over the floor.

well. i got a hold of melinda and she took me with her to the artel christmas potluck (i was the only random guest there, but was welcome just the same). after that we went to the screening room where we saw death at a funeral. it was a really crazy obscure movie, but that's probably because we didn't know anything about the plot before hand. i like seeing movies that i know nothing about. we also went to the goat where i made a bid in the silent auction there. that was neat. i've never done that before.

i got carded at the liquor store today when i went to buy some champagne for the potluck. it was difficult to keep a straight face. i was just so happy that i'm turning 28 and could still pass for 18. i don't look my age, i don't dress my age. i'll try to take comfort in that.

arriving home i felt much better. my problem right now is very circumstantial, and after being around people i was feeling upbeat again. i'm frustrated because my weeks are so busy and my weekends are so solitary. i think i should start funneling all social events towards the weekends, because on weeknights i have to go to bed at a decent hour so that i'm not uber tired. melinda and irina diagnosed me with s.a.d., i think safe to assume they're right. that's obviously not the only problem, my life is topsy-turvy, and i'm tired of being alone, but the s.a.d. probably affects how i react to that and how i cope.

this morning i woke-up at 8:40 and was fully-rested. i was still feeling a little dopey so i sat on the couch and watched infomercials on a country-music boxset.

i got to believe in you.
i got to believe it's true.

you were so not the only random guest there... there were others. and you aren't random. you are a member of my family fyi.

that makes sense, it explains a few of the others, such as our friend from the park.
