jianantonicThe insomnia virus in me has mutated so that it is now immune to NyQuil. Instead of putting me to sleep last night, the shot I took just made me stupid for a few hours. I finally fell asleep around 2, woke up at 5, and have been pretty much fully conscious since then. Bah.
Yoga today should help. It always puts my mind in a calm state. Unfortunately, no time for napping -- I'll have to come home and get some work done, then head out to Crozet for an appointment with Leanne's mom. She's a Mary Kay lady, and I'm giving her all my old unused Mary Kay stuff from when I was into that. Other than eyeliner and fruity lip gloss, I haven't worn makeup in years, but I think I'm going to trade all of this stuff for maybe a few things I will use. I used to get a lot more compliments on my looks when I wore makeup, but in the end, that just hurt my self-esteem more, because it made me feel like I had to disguise myself to be attractive. Meh. Still, it's fun to play dress up every now and then.
Gail and I reopened the subject of tattoos yesterday. Two years ago, we were planning to go get them together. We put that on hold when I broke up with Ahren, though, and the two of us haven't done a lot of hanging out since. I think that's going to change, though. It's nice to know she didn't take sides. I always worried that she hated me for that whole thing. But I think she was just trying to be there for Ahren, and that meant that the two of us drifted apart a little. But we had such a blast yesterday, I feel like our friendship is totally restored. It was really refreshing. Anyway, I've had the same tattoo in mind for about six years now, so I think it's safe to get it. I'm just not sure if I want it on the meaty part of my shoulder, or on the bony part (side of my arm vs. back, basically). But I think I'll get it as a leaving town present to myself in April.
Everyone who has them says tattoos are addictive, and I guess I'm a little worried about kickstarting a habit, but I don't think that'll happen. They say that about piercings, too, but I've only ever had holes in my ears and tongue. I think I'll be satisfied, once I get this one tattoo.
Time is just inching by today. I think it's because I have so much to look forward to. And honestly, I could give a fuck about the SuperBowl. I guess I hope the Steelers win, since it seems that's what will make most of my friends happiest. I've just never been invested in pro football. Can't wait for the college season to start back up, though. I really hope I'll be in VA for the VT-Nebraska home game this year. I'm seriously considering skipping Thanksgiving for the first year ever so I can be in San Diego for the whole fall NABC. Chris and Tam are getting married there, so I'd like to see that, too. But missing Thanksgiving also means giving up my ticket to the VT-UVA game. Sigh. We'll see. Maybe I'll just fly out to SD on Sunday, but then I'd miss the wedding. Decisions, decisions...but I've got time.
Peace.
