Exhausted
Current mood: worried

For the last two weeks, I've gone to bed before 9:00pm, read for a bit in bed, and been asleep by 10:00pm.  For the last week, I've been asleep before 9:30pm.  Being completely emotionally and physically drained has its benefits.

I'm leaving the city for suburbia over the weekend.  Yep.  Moving again.  I was supposed to do the large portion of the move (truck, movers, the real furniture) on the 30th, but a set of circumstances presented themselves and I jumped everything a week closer.  I'll have a long and busy weekend ahead of me, but that might be a good thing.

I'm scared shitless about having to drive the U-Haul truck from Boston to Natick, but I have no choice.

If any of my friends out there need my new contact information, feel free to shoot me a message through MySpace.  My cell phone number and e-mail address won't change.  Just my physical mailing address and landline that I never use.

Shake Your Groove Thing

Remember when you were a kid and your biggest worry was, like, if you'd get a bike for your birthday or if you'd get to eat cookies for breakfast. Being an adult? Totally overrated. I mean seriously, don't be fooled by all the hot shoes and the great sex and the no parents anywhere telling you what to do. Adulthood is responsibility.

I Got Tagged!

Pamphilia tagged me.  My barometer for weird is SO far off that I have no idea what constitutes weird at this point.  I'll try to think of things people may not know about me.

1. Nancy F. knows this.  And she's the only one.  In early January of 2006, my toilet overflowed.  I had to build a towel wall between the kitchen and bathroom to contain the water.  Those towels were not adjusted, moved, or thrown away until October 2006.
2. On New Year's Eve 2005/2006, I attended a Gavin DeGraw concert at The Electric Factory.  The owner of the bar or the promoter or some guy who was kinda in charge told me I was "so fucking hot" and made me get up on the bar to dance.  He then got enough girls on the bar to dance that we broke the previous record of number of girls dancing on the bar.  The bartender kept lifting my dress in the back while he served cocktails to look at my ass, and even showed Gavin DeGraw when he went to bartender as a photo op for a little while.  So I can say that a VH-1 You Oughta Know artist has seen my ass.
3. Though I'm from Beverly Hills, at the L.A. junior high I attended I was shot at, in a hostage lockdown, and held at knifepoint.
4. In my life, I've asked three men out.  And been rejected all three times.  I've only had three guys ask me out, and I turned down all three.
5. I can juggle.  I can ride a unicycle.  I could become a clown and join the circus.
6. I suffer from near-crippling panic attacks and anxiety before attending gatherings.  Even though I'll be around friends, the harsh glare of judgment and my own self-loathing tries to win.
7. On the day before the six year anniversary of my father's death, I found out my cholesterol was 233.  I'm still struggling with the implications and making the changes I need to.  But the headfuck is worse than anything.
8. Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to be a stand-up and become a writer for Letterman.  Through junior high and high school, friends thought I would end up on SNL.  (Yes, I do some pretty good impressions.)
9. I have an almost photographic memory for details and facts.  But over the last ten or so years have had a hard time distinguishing between reality and dreams to the point where it's caused confusion in my conversations/daily life on a semi-regular basis.
10. I like being sweaty and stinky.  I've been wearing the same long sleeved t-shirt for almost six months straight without washing it…and I love it.

I'm sure there are other things.  And more interesting things.  But that's off the top of my head over the course of an hour or so.  Okay, Nancy F., Pamphilia, and Mary have already gone.  I guess I'll tag my Kelli/ys.  Bloody, Wenchie, and Withani.  I guess it's easier to pick people for the softball team when they have the same name as me.

DON'T!

Don't mention the war!  I only mentioned it once, but I think I got away with it.
