It's Friday night and what can I tell you.

No, nothing angsty tonight. In addition to no longer wishing to discuss such things, I also grow weary of typing them.

So hey, finished another script tonight. Second full length and fourth script overall this year. In the last few weeks, actually. Which would be more impressive if the first two hadn't turned out so badly....

So... do you still hate me? frown
jody:
Going out tonight? I'm not sure if I'll make karaoke. I'm feeling kind of run down and I have to model early tomorrow.

In case you were wondering, emotional repression is hard work. But worth it, in the end.

My day-to-day existence is kind of dependent on keeping everything tightly in check. The occasional rant here keeps the pressure from building too much, and it keeps me from moaning to people all the time.

Well, except you lot, but then you always have the option not to read,...

If you ever want to talk about anything, angst-wise, I'm available. I'm not "one of the boys" but I can pretty much guarantee that I won't just tell you to try to sleep with any number of your female friends.

Here's a switch, I'm gonna open with some happy today.

I think I'm back in the game, writing-wise. Yes, the rather horrid reaction to my last full-length play shook me a little. Yes, I followed that by finishing a short piece that will likely never see the light of day. But my second short piece will almost certainly be in Sacrilicious! this summer, and I'm...

Who'd you end up having to babysit? (Yes, I know I'm commenting on two entries ago, so sue me.) If it was at the cast shindig, I know it wasn't me 'cause I was watching our playwright. Surprisingly enough, I remained fairly cheerful the whole night.

And I know this doesn't help 'cause I'm one of the taken people, but you are, too, dateable.
masquerade:
When you say "someone's down at a party," I see it literally - "Man down, man down, call a medic!" Funny! Considering my last round of babysitting, I guess it's not that inaccurate either.

I'm hungry but repulsed by the thought of eating. I changed into sweatpants hours ago and haven't hit the bike yet.

Tonight is Thursday. I don't leave the apartment Thursday night. I don't talk to people Thursday night. If necessary, I'll speak to a pizza delivery man. But tonight it wasn't necessary because I had a leftover slice, and further food doesn't really appeal. Not...

Maybe if the Cadbury eggs were frozen. They're way tastier that way. biggrin

The hockey game was good. Made me smile. Especially since I told Michael before the game that (when I was in the shower it just popped into my head) Regehr was going to get a goal assisted by Huselius. And he did. surreal Sometimes I get wacky presentient thingies. If only I could harness them for evil...
er, I mean good.

I meant the cream eggs. tongue

I eat a crave cupcake by first eating the bottom nub and any top edge that has no icing. Then I get a better icing to cake ratio. After putting it in the fridge for a bit.
Of course, it's not just me. carla pointed out that FreakPirate and I were eating our cupcakes the same way when they were here.

Seems that exercise can, in fact, energize you. I went from passing out on the couch to... well... being far more awake on the couch after just 30 minutes on my exercise bike. Although maintaining a top speed over 20 kph was slightly trickier than yesterday. But I managed it just the same.

Prepare for random thoughts.

Used to be a time when I could...

Yay! Let me know when you're here, we will have to grab a beverage of some sort!
glass_cat:
you know when you last said "I love you?" Weird... at least it's somewhat positive. I am more of a "days since I was last told I'm loved" kinda guy. Way to have an internal locus of self-worth! You win the healthy person prize.

In other news... WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Also... Jigglypuff for life, yo.

The show "the black donnelys" was ruined for me by actually knowing the story thereof (well, as interpreted in the play "sticks and stones"). Dark, dark dark.

Okay. Gonna write something cheerful this time. Here goes.

Finishing the last part of Sacrilicious is way harder than I want it to be. (Bad start on the cheerful...)

At the Gates? Best twenty minutes I've ever written and it took me an hour to do. Jesus Vs. Superman? Solid hilarity, took me most of a day. The third part? I am eating it,...

Turns out I miss being wanted. No, that wasn't the big secret of my moody weekend, if anyone caught that post, just something that turned up during it.

It's not like I ever had to fend the ladies off or anything. Pretty sure the number of women who've ever wanted me is around 2, and one was the briefest of infatuations. But the other one...

Feel better soon... I understand those emotions.
jody:
I know, I suck. I really didn't think the sushi would take that long. I was pretty sure you didn't like sushi, and the bbq bit was unexpected.
I don't know why my phone was on silent mode either. Possibly because I'm stoopid.

They were going to head home on Wednesday, but FP didn't have to work until later on Thursday and laziness won out in the end.

But tonight will include both food and bowling fun!

Depressed. Don't know why.

Did a script workshop last night. Many changes suggested. But that can't be it. I didn't expect it to be declared a masterpiece. Hell, part of me thought it'd go even worse. That potential exists, that it sparked that level of commentary should be enough. So that can't be it. Can it?

It was a good weekend. Party at glass_cat's...

Submit to angry ranting, ye who enter here.

SPOILERS! (Click to view)
My laptop is the source of all my powers. It is how I write, how I connect to the internet, where all my work files live, and how I watch Rome on tropical islands during that quiet time between sunset and dinner. Without it, I can't do my job, access my email, read...

I know how you feel. I live by my lap top. Its the only means of communication in some places the gov't sends me. Imagine my supprise when it died while I was in Quebec.....and I don't speak Frenchshocked

Random vacation-based musings.

The first person to try eating lobster was hungry. But they're damned cool in the wild.

I honestly never get tired of being underwater. I went on 8 scuba dives on my trip (one of which was called off after 10 minutes due to wicked strong current), 4 to finish certification and 4 for kicks. Lots of fun. My mother had...
