mad dogs and Englishmen

[the_siobhan]

I've been overdoing it again, despite my best efforts to take it easy. If I'd realized I was going to end up at the club on Sunday I would have forgone walking to brunch -- one or the other would have been fine, but doing both was too much. After I sprung a small leak from standing for too long I sent the guys to throw a few innocent bystanders off their chairs so I could sit down for the rest of the night.

Still, it was a good night. Talked to quite a few people I never see, and saw at least one band that I think show a lot of promise.

I'm always astonished when people I haven't talked to for years remember who I am. Maybe it's because my own memory is so crap for faces that I forget people I see once a week, maybe it's because I still think I'm in highschool when I was casting a very successful blend-into-the-wallpaper spell over my entire life, but I never expect to be remembered.

Because you know that a six-foot woman with a mohawk just is not going to stand out in somebody's mind.


--------------------------------------------


I finally got the records from work so I can apply for EI, which led to more standing at the office. Bleah. After the first hour I also had to pee which is bloody agonizing on my swollen innards, and I was afraid to leave the lineup in case they called my name while I was gone. Of course they want me to come back with more forms than I had, so I'm going to have to go through this all again. Bastards.

All this for what I'm sure will amount to not very much money. I should get a job doing phone sex.


--------------------------------------------


I'm mostly ok physically, but my attention span still isn't back to normal -- not that it was all that great to start with, but I'm having real trouble concentrating. I'm starting to wonder how much of this is still residual anaesthetic after-effects, and how much is a result of lack of decent exercise.

Bleah. And women have the nerve to make jokes about where men's brains reside.

I blame lack of sex.

I have been getting tons of phone spam lately.

This makes me very annoyed.

!! You sprang a leak? Bad Siobhan! No donuts for you.

*sigh* I hate to nag, really I do, but you do realize you're driving me nuts with worry, don't you?

Oh, who?

You have that t-shirt too? I'm always surprised when people remember me, as I don't tend to think of myself as particularly memorable. Like you, I sometimes still think have that highschool wall of invisibility hanging around me.

if this is your best effort to relax, well. hmmmp!
you really should try things like: sitting in bed writing, having an English boy feed you little snacks of chocolate and bits of your favourite foods. Take full advantage of your acting abilities.

but seriously - please take it easy. Relax. Don't go wild, you have many years ahead. be easy on yourself.

Heh. I think I'm actually healing faster by pushing myself a little too far occasionally and then having to take a day off than I would be by sitting on my butt all the time.
