Rude Awakenings...
I'm starting to hate sleep. I thought dreams were supposed to help you heal; instead, mine are repeatedly bashing me over the head with rather un-insightful thoughts that I don't WANT to dwell on. Thus, I've been awake since 6:45 this morning. My brain must think my sanity is a big joke. The one thing I'm grateful for so far is that while this stress has resulted in numerous annoying physical manifestations, at least I haven't gotten sick! *waits for hand of god to smite with plague*

Thank God there's a vacation approaching. *Technically,* today is Friday. I take off tomorrow for Seattle... it'll be nice to see the family.

Anyway, back to the topic: Justin also pointed something out to me last night that I find rather disturbing. It's becoming apparent that I can only be around a person for so long before I start nit-picking them or the relationship to death. This is manifesting in current conflicts with my housemates and I don't even KNOW the girl that well. It's also meant the demise of countless friendships and some major romantic investments. It's beginning to seem like it's precipitating the end of this one. God damnit, how the hell do I lighten up? Maybe I like change too much, even in the sense that conflict provides it. Bleah. I'm a little worried here, cause I'm gonna end up bitter and purposefully alone if I don't stop being such a PORCUPINE. I'd much rather be a hedgehog... they're a little softer and much nicer to have as pets. O well.

On a completely side note, I'm rather weirded out to find that this naturopathic supplement I'm taking has a stong aftertaste of raw tomatoes. YUCK.
