Just talking to chad about life philosophies as they relate to Kidlet. This is my basic shorthand for one of my practical approaches to both expressing my philosophy and having a generally happier and more joy-filled life; try to give at least twice as much compliment as critique (or in any given situation generally try to be at least two times as likely to compliment than to critique)
Damn do I love me some Olympic women's weightlifting.
Ah, fuck-a-duck. Just overslept through my first appt today.
*sigh* now I'm freaked about going back to bed and risking sleeping through my gp appt too, even though it's not til 12:35. Insomnia is most annoying in its absence - once I need to be awake is often right when the fatigue catches up.
Baby Grasshopper!
Amusing, but I have to quibble with the implication that the Doctor wasn't present and acknowledged; there was a distinct TARDIS sound during one of the musical interludes. I listened twice to make sure.
Poll: Which Doctor Who Villain Is Mitt?
Book sale AT my doctor's office? Dirty pool! Sneak peek at the goodies! (Fuzzy toe socks for me, all else for kidlet including light up saber and light up magnifying glass!)
Home from the doctor. Love my GP so much. She's totally awesome. Also had a number of really enjoyable interactions with random strangers on the trip home, including getting to share some of Kidlet's new books with a couple kids bored at the bus stop with their mom. Naptime now. So tired.
In terms of things I've done this week that I might not've if I weren't in this mood state:
1. Send the best apology I could to a friend I wronged repeatedly a long time ago. Hard to do, still kind of hard to have done, absolutely no regrets -- it was long overdue.
2. Told another friend something revealing about how he had influenced me. A touch nerve-wracking, but glad I did it.
3. Told a casual friend how glad I was that he existed. Not even the teeniest little regret.
4. Because I've been on OKC more often, made some unexpected and potentially interesting contacts*, including reconnecting with a sexy long-distance friend who is apparently now living substantially less long-distance, and having an excellent conversation with a local couple who may be awesome new friends in the making. We're currently trading sex ed geekery, which means I'm thoroughly enjoying myself. Nothing heading in even casual "new partner" directions at the moment, but new interactions with people are fun, so I'm all psyched.
5. Had a bunch of positive interactions with random folks on the street yesterday, including sharing books with kids and their mom at the bus stop, going out of the way to leave compliments with the manager about my excellent lunch server and hostess, had pleasant casual conversations with probably a half a dozen other folks while I was out and about. I enjoy being chatty and friendly. Cool stuff in my life has happened as a result. Therefore, I like when I'm in a state where I'm more likely to interact with the world, because it's just generally more chances for nifty experience and connection.
*usually the case that I'm more likely to at least read messages there and reply to some of then when I'm feeling more social and interactive, unsurprisingly -- this, of course, means I suddenly show as having recently logged in, and more people therefore message me. It creates and odd sort of progressive and cumulative effect that can get overwhelming quickly, but it can also be fun and interesting and casually flirty.
Downside of mania? Still haven't fucking slept. Argh. Maybe now that I've shaken most of the words out of my fingers I'll finally be able to.
