My time of day is the dark time...

yeah. It's pushing on towards 2am. I'm going to be very unhappy when I have to get up at six-sevenish, but I'm just... awake. I guess if I haven't managed to conk out by four I'll just start pounding coffee and plan to totally crash when I come home from work tomorrow. Or this afternoon, as the case may be. Goddamn it. Why can't the whole damn world be on Swahili time? It would make explaining point in the future/past so much easier. Bah.

*sigh* I should find something useful to do. I've already jotted down a few notes for the story idea I toyed with on the bus home, and started the annoying process of shrink shopping again (though I was derailed by my insurance web site being down - I need a replacement card before I do anything in that direction). I suppose next stop: shower and/or dishes.

...s'gonna be a long night. And can I just say that nothing makes me miss NYC more than not having a 24 hour bodega/fruitstand/newsstand within spitting distance? Cause you know, them 3am cravings for apple danishes... and taking the ten minute walk to Sev's is just not the same.

Shower time.

and IIII will walk 500 miles and a-III will walk 500 more

So I just poked our walk from Sunday from Park Slope, over the Brooklyn Bridge to Chinatown into google maps. Just that walk alone was about 4.5 miles. It didn't feel like it at all at the time, WTF. (And my achilles tendons say "maybe not to you, bitch.")

What is it about walking in the city that telescopes actual distance? Walking 4.5 miles here seems akin to Peter O'Toole slogging his way across the Sahara, complete with classic movie score. New York? Walk from the heart of Brooklyn to Harlem? Sure! Not a problem! When I was growing up I used to walk across town from the subway to school at least four times a week (it often beat the bus). That's at least a mile and change.

Bah. Clearly I just need to plan some routes and get my walk on again. I defy you, suburban mentality of needing to drive everywhere! *shakes fist*

A quote stolen from badrahessa, who has in fact stolen it from someone else

" I am sexually and emotionally attracted to people with potential, and who spark the drive for potential in me. I want long term relationships with people who are truly willing and able to work, and work hard, on following through on that potential and willing and able to push me towards my own potential as well. The issue - these look the same from the onset, and thus I have had a habit of investing in those I am attracted to to an extreme level before finding out if they can in fact deliver on their potential at all. "

Amen sister. *drinks*
