i am...

neglecting my friends.

no, not you people, though that happens on occasion too. I'm talking about the actual real people I know and interact with not-often-enough lately.

I did get J-girl's bday card out, which was some kind of achievement. Haven't talked to L since before I went to NYC. Haven't talked to K in months. Have hung out with B recently, but it could be months before it happens again. Haven't seen the kids on the other side of the state in a while (10 months, maybe). More or less for some other people. I haven't called K since I saw her, or indeed called E&J to find out the sex of their rapidly-approaching spawnlet.

point is, i feel like I am allowing myself to be more of a shut-in than I need to be. At the same time, my stomach is a wreck and there are a lot of times when I just don't want to be around people. I'm just not enough of an introvert to spend my whole life like that.

It's been almost an hour since I started this entry. I thought I had more to say, but I ran out of steam. Enough with the navel-gazing. Hurrah for rice cakes. No, I mean it.

this rules!

I am agitated and chilled, so I am drinking hot milk in a fervent attempt to get to sleep. What do I see, but a

cool pigeon story?

Soothes the savage, I tell you.

Talking to my friend S., another neglected entity.

Other than that, I slept a lot today and I feel icky. I have attacked my diet with preternatural force, though. I'm eating rice cakes! Rice cakes! Willingly!

(when you're hungry, they aren't so much of a punishment...)
