the blahs

i've had the blahs for 2-3 days now. a little blue, a little lackluster, a little low on energy.
teaching: blah
weather: blah
self-confidence: blah
everything else except maybe one or two things: blah

whence and wherefore? i have no firm explanation. perhaps it's the post-holiday, post-new year, pre-birthday blahs. it doesn't seem to be identical with the impending global doom vibe i wrote about the other day. this is more personal and local. i want something *fun* to happen, and i'm getting to the point where i'm going to start instigating mischief just to stir up the sediment a little.

what do you do, to chase away the blahs?

I recommend dancing! It's good excercise, it's good fun to get all gussied up and looking fancy, does wonders for the self esteem, ya might even meet someone interesting but don't count on that, it's the best for people watching, I even feel like it gives me some sense of community.

Or there's tequila.

...I've got something that'll chase away your 'blahs', baby, c'mon over here...

Seriously, I agree with the material goods and bad dancing ideas. In fact, I bought a rug and a new tube of mascara today just for that particular reason. It's a whole lot more vain than I would like to admit to being, but all the same...

i've been thinking again about that food processor i wrote about awhile back. but some new shoes would be nice too. or a cool skirt.

what kind of mascara do you use? i use clinique skin care stuff, so i always end up getting little tubes of free mascara when they do their gift with purchase thing. as a result, i have an assortment of mascaras, and no idea which one i like better (because i wear it so seldom). i am almost convinced that they are all the same....

that sounds like a great idea--i was actually thinking of asking my friend A (not to be confused with your A, or my other friend A who i don't even think i've told you about. lol--she's C's competition.....) to go dancing this weekend. if A doesn't want to go......perhaps i'll go myself. i've never ever done that before. but where would i go??? maybe noc-noc. i know one of the bouncers.

Noc noc on saturday nights rocks. Maybe you could invite C if A or A don't wanna go.
