Hammy And The Gnats

Tonight I am all alone in my apartment. Janssen is off visiting her cousin and Vicky is in Puerto Rico, which leaves me here. I'm all alone except for Hammy who is working out in her wheel (she's the apartment hamster...her full name is Miss Hammy The Ham Ham...I named her!) and the gnats who beg for my attention by landing on my glass of wine every thirty seconds. Oh, what a quiet Saturday night it is.

I never really like spending the night totally alone. It's always been a comfort thing to know someone is at least in the other room. I should learn though; I can't always be with someone. Tonight is a good night to just read a book, maybe make a CD for a friend (Mark, I promise it's coming!), or just watch a movie. Hell, I might do some laundry and start packing for my big adventure...that's if I'm feeling really crazy. But, back to being alone...

It's crazy to me how you can be alone even when the room is full of people. There are moments in life where I am surrounded by people and yet almost all of us are disconnected. We are checking our phones, listening to our Ipods, or blatantly trying to ignore that there is anyone around. Then, there are other times when you are by yourself. You can call someone up and the conversation, the connection, you are having at that moment makes it seems like they are sitting right next to you. I don't know where this thinking is leading to, it's just me rambling...I suppose just opening up more. I should be the friendly stranger and at the same time stop being the friend who's been a stranger. For now, I won't make any calls because it's late and I'm not sure who's up and who's not, but tomorrow is a new day and it deserves more of my attention.

Now it's time for randomness:
  • I think that if I'm wearing an obnoxious red hat and all purple it's probably a good sign I'm not getting laid. Oh no, I might have to start wearing that now.
  • I decided to go tanning today and got burnt. The front side of me looks silly.
  • When you cut your hair short, it does indeed take forever to grow back. Not so silly.
  • My end of August goal is to increase my cardio skill level. Right now it's at poor on a scale of piss poor to freakin' badass. I'm shooting for an alright, not so shabby.
  • Finally, I'll leave you with this picture:
