So here it is Monday morning and it feels like I fell off a cliff, or have been in a coma or something.
Some of it was being in some angsty headspace wherein I despair that I am not allowed to come out and play with the cool kids ... but that's twisty and complicated and not for a Monday morning.
Spent my self-imposed snow day Friday getting my house all ready for some pals to come over and watch stupid movies. I had gotten a lot of "maybes" in response to my invite, so I was pretty sure there were only going to be a couple of us... but there were five of us there to watch GDL's Sherlock/Cyberman/Why the hell didn't anyone tell me there were tentacles?! HORROR-LARITY. Hello plot holes. We spent the whole movie going "why didn't the dinosaur eat the prostitute?" no really... we want to know. Actually, we really just want to know why no one in 1882 seems surprised to see dinosaurs wandering around London. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAH. Also random peacock? LOL.
Then. We had a pile of about six movies to watch, but after we ate, and two of the five of us left for other places they had to be, it was just me, and director Cee and our actor friend Julia.
We sat and talked for the next seven hours!!!!!! We never even got to another movie.
And I don't even know what we talked about. This and that and nothing terribly earth shattering.
I wore out eventually. Physically and mentally. My throat is still sore. And I sort of gave up talking eventually as they were happy to chat between themselves. See, I don't talk to anyone routinely. I talk to my mother for between 10 and 15 minutes a day. And random "Hi, how're you?" chat with co-workers." Other than that... I dont' see people, I don't talk to them.
So when confronted with 7 hours of discussion, I think my brain shut down.
And then Sunday I woke up with a terrible headache, was sick all day, and then had to drag myself to my parents for sunday dinner and more or less pretend I was fine. I did end up feeling almost human by the time I left there, but was still pretty fragile all evening. I don't know where these sick headaches are coming from or why I am so queasy suddenly.
So Sunday I didn't even look at the internets all day.
So now I have catching up to do. Seems like I am always behind.
And now I have to go rush catalog some stupid DVD that someone suddenly has to have today.
Welcome Monday. You're already kicking my ass...

Date: 2010-03-01 04:32 pm (UTC)As for 'the cool kids' and I am guessing you are referring to the Virtual Season? There might be another one, so you may get your chance. :) And you are plenty cool on your own, really. I'm not a cool kid either (though okay yeah N is, lol) but I don't WANT to be. It gets in the way of the important stuff! Just be yourself, really, and keep plugging away at what makes you happy. And ping me anytime, email, whatever! I'm around one way or hte other usually.
Your friends sound like so much fun. I envy what you are cultivating there. Really!

Date: 2010-03-01 05:14 pm (UTC)anyway... just the usual twisty bad headspace I get into, especially when I am not feeling well, and all that. And very much a combo of RL and Virtual Life issues... sigh. inside my head is a bit like the weird exploding jungle in Princess Bride :)
so. heartwarming that you looked for me/missed me online yesterday.
the GDL movie was very LOL-y and delightful that Cee showed up with a plastic dinosaur and we all RAWR'd through it whenever the dinos would show up. Complete with little t-rex claw hands.
OK, back to actual work and leftover quiche. I have SO MANY MUFFINS now at my house. I might only eat breakfast food this whole week. YUM.
RAWR. LOL.
