so, i spent most of my day traveling and waiting and traveling and waiting and traveling some more. it made me a little nervous and anxious - i don't like anything too far outside my routinized daily life, i guess. at the moment, craving nicotine. had 2 packages of smarties - why is something as chalky and almost tasteless as smarties so damn good and addictive? i guess it must be the same part of my brain that considers smoking to be the closest i've gotten to having a religious experience. people at work are being friendly and playful today - it's catching me a little off-guard. particularly since i tend to be guarded and paranoid while at work. my neck is starting to ache from the sudden movements. someone is yelling *yikes* down the hall. yikes, indeed. i am officially hooked on sudoku. just so you know. oooohhh...usher's on. no sense in trying to concentrate on anything now.
