What are the years we gave each other ever going to be worth?
I'm doing what used to a be a bi-annual ritual: I can't sleep, it's the early morning, so I'm at my computer listening to "Get Lonely" and rereading "While You Were Watching". I think I skipped it both 2012 and 2013, as it in part requires leaving a sleeping person and also insomnia of a slightly peculiar kind.
Also I couldn't listen to this album, or tMG for quite a while. The problem with being pretty abysmally broken for a while is you stop being able to enjoy things. And with John Darnielle's ability to predict periods of my life alarmingly well, that's weird and scary (have just thought about how well Get Lonely maps onto some stuff from the last couple of years)
I've had a weird feeling lately, like I've suddenly become grown up in ways I never really expected to do so. Like, I've started to sleep at normal hours most of the time, and put porridge in the slow cooker overnight, and like having a clean kitchen, and enjoy grocery shopping and think about things like ISAs (only think about them though). I honestly thought this was not part of my make up, and I felt so defeated by the various rubbishnesses of 2010, 2011 and 2012.
That said, dinner tonight did consist of pizza for which Alex and I paid entirely in exact change, having found the place on Just Eat with the lowest delivery charge.
