Today I:

slept in a weirdly fucked up pattern. I went to bed last night around 1 ish, due to some email that had to be written. I vaguely remember dragging myself to the bathroom at around 5:30 am, where I saw beatgoddess sitting at the computer playing Rocket Mania with the glazed I can't sleep and never will again look in her eyes. I think I gave her a hug. At least I hope I did. Ah well, belated hug, girl.
Had a late start this morning and didn't get to work until 9:30. Otherwise I had a productive day at work.
Began researching taking belly dancing lessons for real. I've been talking about it for years now, and if I don't do it soon I never will.
Betook myself to Stop and Buy crap for laundry detergent and Imodium AD.
Charged down the bike path as fast as my still sore and tired legs would take me, the inspiring stridently strains of Zombie Nation, Timekiller and Blue Lights, plus my own brooding getting me home faster even though I was taking the long way home. I maintain that Timekiller is a kickass song to bike to. It's got just the right beat for making pedaling challenging.
Said some mad inappropriate shit about primitive_boy's guest this evening that earned me a giggle and the look from beatgoddess and a squeak from sundart. Something along the lines of "If I was a dog and [guest] was a couch arm..."
Watch some seriously what-are-these-people-THINKING? reality dating show with darkling_dreams, who came up to bum some cable time off of us until hers is set up.
Did, and am still doing some hard thinking about paths, choices, risks, pain tolerance, respect, responsibility, and regret. Doing so is about as fun as drilling wood screws into the backs of my hands and stripping the screws in the process. Yep, I know I'm being cryptic, but I can't explain better than that.
Endless laundry. It's nice to have clean pants for work.

And now for my next trick, I'm going to go cuddle some girl, then take advantage of the fact that our downstairs neighbor isn't here for a week and get the rest of my laundry done starkers, because I can. :)
