missroseroseFunny how when I get emotionally stressed, my mood swings become much more pronounced. (Didn't I say something similar about a year ago?)
I was feeling like utter shit yesterday. For one thing, it was three days before my period, which means that I'm usually a hormonal wreck; for another, I'd been under a lot of emotional stress, which meant that I was an emotional wreck too. Ryan and I had planned to go see Metamorphoses (local theatre's most recent production), but he was an hour late getting here and had forgotten his wallet, and (due to some problems with my new check card and being out of regular checks) I had no way to get money out to pay for tickets. In addition, I was headachey and incredibly grumpy, and probably not much fun to be around. Work was hell (and considering how undemanding my job is, that's saying something), and life in general seemed pretty insurmountable.
However, once I'd gotten off work and taken some Tylenol and a nap, I felt a bit better. Ian invited Ryan and I over for the clamsauce dinner he owed me; it ended up being scallops instead of clams, but still quite good. And for the record, Covey Run 2000 Chardonnay is actually pretty decent (and I'm not a big white wine drinker).
Today was decent, if not great. Feelings of betterness continued through the day (I actually got some work done, woo!) and acting class wasn't too scary - we were mostly doing intellectual stuff, which (of course) is a bit less scary than actual hands-on type things. Also, thanks to my mother, I was able to buy an awesome surround-sound 5 speaker set (four small speakers + subwoofer), which has much better sound than my laptop speakers. Admittedly, I only have a 2-channel soundcard, so it's not like having speakers in the back of the room makes that much of a difference, but it looks cool, dammit. Plus it's easier to hear from my bed or whatever.
And this evening, I discovered the joys of Karaoke Night over at Marlintini's. In honor of the life lessons I'm currently working on, I sang Irene Cara's "What a Feeling" (I actually got a personal thank you from the DJ for picking a different-than-usual song). I've always loved that song, being as it was on the first CD I ever owned (the soundtrack to Flashdance). Plus it was a lot of fun to wait for all the other people to finish singing/hiding at the back of the stage, grab the wireless microphone, and start dancing all over the floor while I sang. Yeah, I probably looked like a total fool, but I had fun, dammit!
(And for those who are curious, the only thing I had to drink tonight was a Shirley Temple. So there. Sugar's more than enough to get me hyper, when I'm on an upswing. =)
Some progress is being made on the car question, but I really need to get to bed. So I'll talk about that another time. If only my dorm had a bathtub...I need something to relax in.
