events of the evening

8:16 a.m.

okay, well this morning a small group of people came over from our neighboring office. more like a small chrorale of cheery christmas joy and delightment. and i'm all for that. believe me i am. i think it's wonderful that people can be that extremely peppy at 8 in the morning. but for me it's early. too early. and then they start to wish me a merry christmas in song, so i had to get up and leave. it's just way too early for cheeriness and christmas joy. well, the reason why they came over was to bring us this gift basket full of breads and jams and stuff. oh well, i guess i don't have to worry about breakfast! so ha ha!

ugh, i'm so tired. i just want to go home and sleep. but i didn't really do anything last night. in the alcoholic sense. but i did get home at one in the morning, so i'm a little sleep deprived.

i'm pretty happy about last night. i did everything i wanted to do. it was a night to myself. i watch buffy as i always do. it was a pretty kick-ass episode. i'm excited about what's to come. then i couldn't stay home and i wanted to go out. so i considered going over to club broadway to watch "the osbournes" with joy and everyone from long beach. so i went to the library coffeehouse about an hour early before they were gonna meet. i said hi to geof and talked to him a little bit. it turns out he's considering going to south korea to teach english. which i think is a pretty rad opportunity for him and anyone else who decides to partake in something like that. it pays good and you get to live in another country for awhile. i got coffee and sat outside and wrote in my journal. it was a nice change of pace. i wrote for a little bit, and then i read some more of "less than zero." i'm about half way through it. i haven't been reading too much lately. i guess it's because i have a car now, and i'm a lot less forced to stay home. at about 10:15, i just had this urge to leave. i didn't want to go to club broadway and see m and do the whole, "hey, how ya been?" thing, and get over the initial uncomfortability that always exists with him no matter what the situation is. i know that it only lasts a few seconds and then after that we're fine as if it was never there. but i just wasn't up for it. i didn't have the energy. so i left. i didn't even say goodbye to anyone. it's not like they would miss me or anything. things feel uncomfortable over there for some reason. i don't quite understand it. it's probably self-created. but still, i feel out of the loop. like there's some angst against me or something. but then again, maybe my obsession with m is starting seep his own paranoia onto me. and i'm starting to think like him.

so i was driving home on the 605, and as i'm about to pass the carson exit, i see the long beach town center, and i decide to watch a movie. fuck it. why not. i've been trying to watch a movie for awhile now, but no one wants to see what i want to see. so i go. i cut across four lanes of traffic, almost kill myself and get off the freeway and park shortly afterward. i walk up to the theater and a large group of people are camped out on both sides. i forgot, the lord of the rings is playing at midnight. that would be so nice to see. but i really didn't want to be in a crowded theater. the lesser the better. so i muster up the trekkie inside of me and i watch star trek: nemesis. it was cool. i guess it's been a long time since i've watched star trek, that it seemed to drag a little. but i loved the stuff that only trekkies would like or notice. it was really nice to be in the theater with only 5 other people, and i had a whole row to myself.

so i got home satisfied. i thought i had a good evening all to myself. i need that every now and then.
