I feel as if I'm high as a kite, hyper as a balloon that was just blown up and let go without being knotted. Lately whenever I get into a book I have to finish it as quickly as possible, then when I'm finished I can't calm down for a couple of hours, or I can calm down but I really don't want to.
This time it's Douglas Coupland's "Miss Wyoming". Thank you Steve for recommending Coupland, by the way. I bought the book that still smells brand new at Books 'R Us, hardcover, $2.50. Goddamn it was worth every penny. It's happened with several books lately. Orsen Scott Card's "Ender's Game" and Findley's "Spadework". I can't wait to get into the next book that will lead to such joy.
Now I don't know what to do with my mood, I'm in St. Philip's, it's lunch time. Nobody's home. I don't have a cigarette, I do'nt have any pot. There might be some beer there, but I really don't want that. I want to be out, playing a sport of sorts, or even in playing a sport of sorts. Or maybe meeting someone new, or wandering downtown. With people though. I want to be happy and with people who aren't shitty. Or something. Well, that reminds me, Julia you're coming home thursday, right? I'm looking forward to seeing you. And Mike, I'm in practice until 9:00 tonight as it turns out, but I think I'd be up for something after that, and maybe Kevin will be too. I know nobody reads this on a regular basis, so that message means nothing, but what the fuck. I'll give you a call all the same.
By the way everybody, I have a date tomorrow, I think. Or at least I would like it to be a date, it's something along the lines of a date. She gave me her number on friday (this girl with whom I have a might be date) and we made plans for tomorrow evening, now that Mike's gonna work that shift. I think we'll be heading downtown and wandering the streets, hopefully going for dinner. Hopefully it turns out half neat, cause she's really awesome.
It's strange, last night at work I was in such a crappy mood, but I think it had to do with me being tired and only having eaten fucking pizza pops all day. Once I got home and ate some toast and cheese whiz and toast and bologna (separately of course) I was feeling a lot better. I just watched an episode of Law & Order and went to bed. And not once during law & Order did I switch over to check out Wild On, not once. That feels good for some strange reason. Now today I just woke up and read for 2 hours and am still feeling great. I think I'm gonna go eat now, maybe another bologna sandwich and then it's off to start a new book. It's nice to have a day off, not have to worry about school and just sit back and read. Very nice. I thought I was gonna be bored today. I'm not.
Goodbye everybody. see you soon, or at least some of you soon. How soon I'm not sure. yeah...
