IT'S FRRRRI-I-I-I-IDAY!!!
I drank The Forbidden Drink (Red Bull) and am now VERY VERY SUPER SUPER awake. Call it blind stupidity, or...astrological compulsion, but I do like the stuff. Luckily I can sleep in tomorrow morning, so the inevitable insomnia I can see nearing ever closer from a great distance will not affect me so adversely as it has on previous nights here. At least I hope not. There are only so many instances of me standing around like a crazy person in my pyjamas having stupidly awkward conversations with people I don't know that I can live with.
I have been here for...three weeks now, and haven't really found anyone to hang out with comfortably on a Friday night. I have made conservation class friends, and lunch friends, and housemate friends, and lunch outing friends, but no Friday and Saturday night friends. I suppose this may change when classes do get into full swing. I have always needed that comforting late night conversation with drinks (alcoholic or non) to keep me feeling loved and alive. If I don't find something I'll lapse into loneliness, I'm sure of it. And I can't become a crazy cat lady to fill the void, as I'm not allowed pets. So, the list of things I need is:
* Friday night friends.
* An afternoon or weekend job, preferably museum related.
* Miraculously appearing large amounts of money.
* Someone to love.
* Volume 2 of 'Science for Conservators'.
Or more concisely: A LIFE.
