Finishing up for the day
I am having a gigantic crankiness problem lately, particularly in real life. I can tell I'm being really irritable and snappish, but noticing it tends to make me... more irritable. At least I can hide it a bit better online, but I'm still losing my patience way more often than I should--I get really pissed off about things I know are stupid, about things I know never used to bother me, but--it's completely involuntary and irrational. And I've been like this for weeks now, if not months.
I'm trying to work on it--I cut out caffeine again (a long while back) after I noticed it was making me cranky, I've been trying to eat better but more often, drink more water, get more sun--I already take a B complex and a multi-vitamin (and antidepressants, for those of you just coming in; I've been doing really well as far as the drugs + vitamins regimen goes, and for a long time now). I just don't know what else it is. Stress, maybe--stress of the uncertain and the unfinished, I guess. People around me dumping their stress on me, possibly. To be honest, I think a lot of it started six months ago when I began getting really emotional about turning thirty but not being what and where I wanted to be by this point in my life, and I don't think I've gotten past that yet.
I think I need more alcohol in my life. Perhaps something with fruit.

Twilight
What? More kids saw Angels & Demons than, say, Star Trek or Wolverine or, going back to last year, The Dark Knight ? Did anyone go see Angels & Demons? And don't tell me it's a quality issue--Obsessed is up there. Whatever.
Meanwhile, Robert Pattinson filming 'Remember Me'--or trying to, anyway (MUTE THE SOUND FIRST) after being swamped by a crowd of 200 screaming girls. Or, as @WonderRobbie said to me on Twitter (yes, Twitter is where things happen now, shut up), "I was just 10 feet from RPattz and the whole world turned into Sparklevision... He was filming that new movie @ NYU. It was magical until some prostitot screamed for him to bite her."
