Had horrible, terrible, no-good, v. bad dreams last night. And the night before. And, am fairly certain, the night before that. Have no idea what is causing them and have spent several minutes discussing with officemate the reason for such nightmares. Stress? Perhaps. Diet? Hmmm... most likely.
Am going to cut caffeine out for a bit and see if that helps. Being cracked out on Diet Coke all the time just may not be the most helpful thing.
Had dinner with J on Tuesday night. Or, rather, J invited yours truly to his new place and made dinner. Was nice and perfectly platonic. On all accounts. Really and truly. Had moment of "What am I doing here" when got a call on my cell phone and stepped into J's bedroom to answer. Sat down on the bed and chatted, but halfway through the conversation, looked down at the sheets (new) and was stuck with the bizzarity of the situation. (Bizzarity. New word. Say it five times and add it to your vocabulary. It will be on the quiz) But overall, was v. nice experience.
J does seem v. melancholy and negative though, after latest break up. And spent most of the evening teasing (with merciless roommate). Note to self: J does not take well to nicknames like Mr. Poopy Pants and Ye Olde Crybaby.
Am missing sisters quite intensely lately. So, as soon as paycheck is securely deposited in account, am buying a plane ticket to opposite coast for extended-weekend visit. And that is that.

Posted by: me at September 4, 2003 10:40 AMI thought "bizzarity" was a person's propensity to shop flea markets.
Posted by: Texas T-bone at September 4, 2003 10:50 AMSo J and Hot Tub Chick broke up? Did she break up with him? Hmmmmm
Posted by: Sara at September 4, 2003 12:14 PMT-bone: wrong spelling. That would be "bazaarity", of course.
Fish: I am glad to see that you are the happy one in the relationship for once. I'm glad things are nice and platonic. I hope to read more good things
Take that trip home. My sister recently went to school on the West Coast and I miss her bunches.
I was originally going to suggest that hanging out with J was giving you nightmares and bad sleep. But if you say diet, I'll buy it. (Hey, poetry!)(And that's not like "Hey, Jealousy" but more like "Eureka!")
Posted by: Michael at September 4, 2003 12:41 PMi'm looking forward to trip to coast myself. :)
Posted by: sas at September 4, 2003 03:46 PMNow, that's some bizzarity right there. Interesting coincidence. Poopy times afoot for the J's of the world, apparently. *sob* :)
Posted by: Jay at September 4, 2003 07:20 PMany chance you get your starting sentence from the children's book titled "Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day" by Judith Viorst.?
or a cool coincidence... ;-)
Take care. : )
Posted by: Laura at September 4, 2003 08:52 PMPoor poor J, suffering like that. Life is so unfair. :) Perhaps the bicycle needs a fish? P.S. I find just before my period that I have very strange and disturbing dreams, even when my body isn't suffering symptoms, like bloating, headaches, etc. Icecream before bed seems to stir up my subconscious too, especially the cookie dough vanilla variety.
Posted by: Katherine at September 4, 2003 09:06 PMEver notice that Diet Coke seems to produce ungodly numbers of severe addicts?
That dirty sugar water messes with your brain.

ps- Yay for making up words, I'm all for testing the flexibility of the English language.
