I'm very weird. I just went to pee and realized that I stand on my toes close to the end. Why? I have no idea. It's just a weird habit I guess. Maybe that's the way they do it on my home planet. I should be asleep right now but of course ... I'm not. I decided to take a little vacation from certain things this week. Like ... people. How do you take a vacation from people, you ask? Move to the middle of the Arctic? Lock yourself in the basement with nothing but lots of packages of Kraft Handi-Snacks? Nope. You simply try and put your mind in 'vacation' mode and try not to let people get to you.
The only phone calls I make this week will be work-related. Same with emails. I will try not be the first to message anyone on AIM or Yahoo!. That even goes for Aaron. This is the week I stay focused. Or at least try really really hard to. I'm sorta just tired of a lot of people right now. I feel mentally drained. And this is one week I really can't afford that.
Tom called me today from Seattle. It was a really nice surprise. Come to think of it ... any phone call is a nice surprise. I don't get calls often even though pretty much everyone I know has my home number. Maybe they don't like calling Jersey. They much rather prefer to leave moronic messages on my cell phone instead. People are weird.
So ... yah ... Tom called. We chatted for a while about the move and just generally catching up with what's happening with each other. I wish he still lived in Pennsylvania. Or knew him longer before he moved to Seattle. I'm selfish.
Y'know what's weird? Whenever I think about him now ... I think about the night he was here and how much his features reminded me of Chris, the lead singer from Coldplay in the 'Yellow' video. And how incredibly blue his eyes were. I miss him.
It's been raining beautifully the whole time and I didn't even know. I just heard a faint tapping sound on my window and that's when I noticed.
