It is amazing how much brighter my day is when I am well rested and have sufficient coffee.
Ah, yes. And I'm not a coffee drinker, so I pretty much rely on the former (though I am naturally a morning person, which helps). At least you've got the artificial safety net, I guess?
One of two of those things isn't bad for me.
This is in NO way meant to rub it in at ALL, but: I am so, so sorry for you and your insomnia. I actually think that chronic insomnia might be my worst nightmare--I don't even know what I would do. (Start drinking coffee like everybody else, I guess. Heh.) So you have my respect for toughing it out, not that you exactly have a choice.
And your community group sounds pretty darn cool. Maybe better than Bones reruns, even. Maybe.
You know, they ARE pretty darn cool, in lots of ways. They are extremely, extremely nice people and they are very thoughtful about their spirituality, which I appreciate. So even though I sometimes feel like I'm not on their common wavelength, I do quite like them.

Comment-butting/ I often feel this way about the folks at GAMe. I feel like most of them don't necessarily understand me, but I also think that they are so much more spirituality thoughtful than I am and that they love me just because I'm me and I'm there. And I want to be more like that. So I stay and hope it will rub off on me. God's got stuff to teach us from everyone, no? And hey, I hope everyone else can learn stuff from us. :)
This is an excellent point--I very much like being around people who get me, and whose wavelength I'm already on. But I think there's something to be said for people who *don't* get us and who have wavelengths that are completely unlike our own. You're right--this is where God teaches us stuff.
Glad you had fun at community group last night! Be sure to tell us all about your Jenny Lewis concert; mine is in less than a month now, and I can't wait!
Where do you get your Gilmore Girls icons? They're always so fun.

Will do! I'm exciiiited. I have some weird supernatural gift for just missing shows by people I like, so I feel like actually going to see JL is some kind of huge coup. Take that, concert curse!
(I would still like to see Rilo Kiley some time, though. And the other band that's at the top of my to-see list is the New Pornographers. I think they'd be AMAZING live. Besides, since they're all in other bands, I feel like getting them all together in one place is some kind of big cosmic event. Which is lame, but hey.)
Where do you get your Gilmore Girls icons? They're always so fun.Oh, gosh. They're from all over, and most of them are ancient. But if you go to my Profile page and click on my userpic, it'll show you all of my userpics, with the icon makers' names (...mostly; I have somehow ended up with a few uncredited icons, about which I am embarrassed, but it's not like I can just track them down

Oh, man. It is so, so, SO fantastic, and you are going to fall deeply in love with the town of Dillon, TX. My advice: Like anything, give it a disc's worth before you decide anything. The pilot is lovely in a lot of ways, but you know how it is--everything starts to jell around episode four or five.
Eeee, so good! (Also, possibly the most different show POSSIBLE from DW. Yay for your summer of TV diversity!)
Seriously. He's usually pretty good about sleeping through the night, but this is NOT a good precedent.
(Actually, what I've heard you can do is to set up a vacuum cleaner right on the other side of the bedroom door--and then, when they come to wake you up, you turn it on really fast, so that they think the evil kitty-eating monster is coming to get them because they bothered you in the middle of the night. This sounds super-effective to me, but is unlikely to happen in this apartment, as I cannot make it work without getting out of bed and waiting for him to scratch/meow, and I am incredibly lazy.)

Also I'm glad you're feeling more warm and fuzzy about being in DC. Because this increases the chances of me being able to visit you there again ;)
I can't promise this one way or the other, but if I am here, you know it's ON! Yarny touristy chocolatey fannish goodness ftw!
HI.
We should phone-talk one of these days. What do you think?

And you mentioned Away We Go, I'm so excited for that movie! I'm a huge Dave Eggers fan, so yeah.
