i had a really great day yesterday.

it’s been pointed out to me on multiple occasions that i tend not to blog when i’m happy, which would explain my obvious absense from the tumblr community as of late.

i spent almost all of yesterday with loren.  we had breakfast, went shopping, and spent the afternoon putting together halloween costumes and crafting.  when daniel got home, i made dinner for us all.  we drank wine and talked about nuclear arms, sweden’s lack of participation in the european union, and somehow ended with depeche mode.

it was a wonderful day which turned into a wonderful evening, and i went to bed with a smile on my face.

i woke up with a faint headache and very thirsty, but that was my own fault and wasn’t anything a bagel and a glass of soda couldn’t fix.

dan said last night that he feels like i get sad when i’m in this house all day by myself.  i don’t think he’s wrong.  but i also don’t think that it has a lot to do with being alone, i’ve always liked being alone.  granted, i do enjoy the company of others, particularly my roommate.  but, i think the reason i get sad is that i have so much time to get lost in my own thoughts, which has always been an issue for me.  overcoming self-destructive tendancies is going to be a life long battle.  one i’m slowly winning, i just hope that wins continue.

in a few hours i’m going to go pick up nick, fit him for his costume, and then go work the stupidest shift in the history of stupid shifts.  not quite long enough to make any money, or tackle any large project, and just short enough to fuck up my whole day.  but when i get done, dan and nick will be waiting for me dressed like charlie brown and linus, and i’m pretty sure it’s going to be the most adorable thing ever.

we’re going to a party tonight in plymouth at my friend biz’s house.  i haven’t seen her in quite a while and i’m very excited.

at the moment i’m still sitting in my bathrobe, running about an hour behind in my day, which is only going to snowball now, and i’ll probably be late for work.  regardless, i have a good feeling about today, and i’m pretty sure i’m going to go to bed with a smile on my face tonight.
