run and run and run.
I got to dabble in light-istry to an even greater extent tonight. When I was doing the channel check (flipping through lights and making sure all of them work), of course one of the bastards was out. So with about 15 minutes til go I had to run to the light shop, find the right light (I had to make two trips, of course), then figure out how to change the damn thing so that it would work for the show. Hectic, but I felt productive.
Hopefully I'll be getting my laptop back tomorrow. Apparently I had to get a new hard drive. Boo on technology and my lack of understanding thereof.
I feel like I've been run rather ragged this past week, and I know it's just going to get worse. I'm glad, though. It's let me slip into a sort of elated catharsis (if that makes any sense) that distracts me from all the other God-knows-whats that would otherwise be infecting my brain. By the time reality and everything that goes along with it checks back in, I'm usually halfway asleep. As a result, my dreams of late have been much more vivid...in a way, I feel like I'm living vicariously through them. Sort of a strange way to achieve emotional fulfillment, granted, but at this point I'm taking what I can get.
Speaking of emotional, I got in a shouting match the other night with a guy from back home. He thought it would be a good idea to call me at 1 in the morning and violently cuss me. Or rather, have his friend call while he violently cussed me in the background. I'm not used to dealing with volatile people...in fact, I have a tendency to avoid them because I don't trust my own temper. I'm not overly proud of the things I said to him. I can't really remember the last time I just let someone have it to the full extent of my anger like that. It was strangely natural, though, which kind of horrifies me. Mental note to continue keeping that in check.
I stayed up far too late last night and as a result am now exhausted. Besides, I've got a whole world of pleasantly skewed reality waiting on me.
