Chapter 10: Walking, Talking, and Bumping in the Night

Is it my imagination, or is everyone having a miserable week? Sick, angsty, unhappy, irritated -- it feels like everyone I know is the recipient of bad shit from the universe. Maybe it's the time of year, maybe it's the weather, maybe it's a complete coincidence. I don't know. But whatever is causing this low-level misery, I decree it must stop. Leave my friends alone!

Also: Things that make you go Ewwwww

I'm very tempted to check for Mercury in retrograde and all that. or else the weather-the weather is such a convenient culprit.

and, yes, all things bad happening to people I care about can end now.

You have to go out with my boss. He sent me the same link with the same 'Ewwwww' subject line.

I'm pretty optimistic this week - though it's been foggy and raining, we might have to move shortly because our landlords are wank-o-ramas, and I have three weeks left before I find out if my job is permanent or not...

But I've been christmas shopping, reading a lot, and we have tickets to both Oliver and Peter Pan as performed by the Victoria Operatic Society! Planning christmas activities makes me happy.

I don't think I'm receiving any bad shit from the universe, unless you count the end of daylight savings time as bad shit. I always get a bit more hermitty at this time of year because of the weather. Oddly, in Vancouver it doesn't happen until January and then it's full-on depression. Here, once there's snow everything is bright and exciting again. Hooray! I knew snow was useful for something.

But I do think that it is the time of year and the weather, as my response to your post. People feel gloomier this time of year. There's nothing exciting to do until Christmas and that is one big stress-inducing mess in most cases. So it's the beginning of the time where we bide our time until Spring. And Easter candy.

If it makes you feel any better, Dean got some free money at work because he kicked so much ass in his store. So that's pretty good. :)

Dude, SERIOUSLY. And the part of my flist that doesn't overlap with yours is going through it too. What the hell is going on?

I am sick. I just spent the weekend with two people who had different colds than I had. I fear for what will happen once the other two start battling it out with my original cold.
