sigh. so it's hump day, and i'm supposed to be happier. but i'm not. my usual wednesday night dinner (ok, we've only done it a few wednesday nights) with alan was cancelled, because he has a lot of other stuff to do. so i'm sort of bummed about that.
sometimes i surprise myself at how quiet i can be in social situations. i'm not sure what affects the amount of gregarious output i can dish out, but all i know is that i can go through a meal with a bunch of people and not say a word. i wonder if people like my coworkers know how talkative i can be. *shrug*
i have this blister underneath my psoriasis patch on my left foot. it hurts. i wonder if i should try to pop it tonight, because this shit oozes. it stains my socks with this yellowish liquid. ick. i hate having skin problems.
i've been getting good sleep lately. it still takes a while for me to eventually fall asleep, and i'm still sensitive to early morning light, but i've been very snuggly lately. my blankets, however, are disintegrating. i need to go out a buy a sewing kit to patch them up. where do they sell sewing kits? drug stores?
so tonight may or may not be the last night i live alone. tom, my prospective roommate, arrives tomorrow. i hope he lives with me, because, like i said, i need a financial break from paying for two people's rent; i'm surprised that i've been doing so for this long already... yes, i am that lazy in my not wanting to move.
i am jealous of people who love their jobs. i think if you can find a line of work that makes you excited and happy to be there, you're extremely lucky. i can probably count on one hand the number of people i know who love what they do, and i am very envious of them.
for lunch, a group of 7 of us went to tanto, this japanese restaurant near lawrence and el camino. i got this udon/oyako donburi set for $7.95, which is pretty cheap for japanese food. however, it wasn't that good. the chicken had all this skin and fat on it, and while i usually like that, i just couldn't chew through the gelatinous mass. and the udon was like the stuff you get at a train station kiosk in japan, i.e. cheap and not very good.
i'm looking forward to the long weekend. i hope there will be people around to hang out with. i know it hasn't hit me yet, though, but i might have a roommate by then, and i hope we get along well. i'll get to take him to stacks! hehhe. i LOVE that place.
ok, off to a cig break. take care, people. i'll try to cheer up in the meantime. :)
