February 2002

 1  But before you get too impressed with my impressiveness, I'll confess:
 4  It's so hard to get started on Monday mornings. Hard to get out of bed; hard to decide what to wear; hard to figure out what to talk about here in my journal.
 5  Obsessions. Today's topic is obsessions.
 6  I know, I know - it's too crazy to be true, but it is!
 7  You walk into the store, and three sales people swoop down on you with clipboards and professionally enormous smiles.
 8  I'm even boring myself. So today you get a bit of fiction instead of a journal entry.
 11  Go forth and read. You will not be disappointed.
 12  "Aisle nine," I said, having already rehearsed this part in my head, "between the air fresheners and the chewing tobacco."
 13  From 5:15 until six, I was only dozing, because the cat came in and alternated between being snuggly, desperately craving attention, and knocking things off my dresser.
 14  Don't ask. Just... don't. If you're not a Hall patron, it will never make sense. If you are a Hall patron, it may still never make sense.
 15  There's nothing like being a gamer for self-examination and amateur self-psychology.
 19  Halling, of course. What else?
 20  Yes, indeed, I am veritably swimming in dorkitude. Let's take a look, shall we?
 21  "That was really fucked up! But good! But fucked up!"
 22  Naturally, since I spent half my evening asleep, I don't have much to talk about.
 25  Sunday I slept in until nearly noon. I should have slept in longer.
 26  All of those seemed like reasonable requests to me. He looked at me like I'd grown an extra head.
 27  "Is there any reason," he asked calmly, "why you can't just use a Q-tip?"
 28  Or maybe I'll just eat the whole thing this weekend. You never know.
