Someday I Will Learn...

[la_samtyr]

... just apparently not today. Or tonight, or tomorrow or whatever time it is.

So, earlier I am just chilling out and vaguely thinking if I should watch another movie or work on fic. Neither happened. Instead, I ended up getting a phone call from -- you guessed it -- My Cousin Donna(tm) who was freakin' *high* and decided to cheer me up. At least I *think* that was her idea. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

I will eventually go to sleep in the next few days but right now I am so wide awake it's pitiful. Worst of all, I am tired. [I was going to post all of the gory details about her call but it reads like really bad fiction. I only wish I had taped her but I didn't.] Suffice it to say that I feel all done up inside. Not good.

So I am off to bed so I can at least lie down. Sleeping may or may not happen. But at least I won't be zoning out in front of my 'puter or the tube.

I will probably be around sometime tomorrow.

*grrrr* I used to have an old college friend who did this to me - but never to cheer me up! I wouldn't hear from her for months and then I'd get a call at 1am and she'd be all upset about another relationship breakup or some other "done me wrong" sob story. The last time she did it was when I was on a 5am shift at work!

The problem is, when you get a phone call at that time of the night you think you don't dare not answer it. You think, who'd call at such a time if it wasn't an emergency? So you think it's extremely important and you drag yourself to the phone having anxiety attacks along the way... Only to find out it's her, yet again, moaning about some guy who left her to go back to his wife. *SO* glad she finally quit calling!

Donna has her very own ringtone, so I knew it was her. And since it wasn't that late and it's almost time for Easter, I decided to answer because that's the only time she calls. Right before or on a holiday, I mean. I don't mind taking her calls since I can usually hold it down pretty good, and I like to know that she's ok. My biggest fear used to be that she would turn up on one of those "AMW"-ish shows as an unknown murder victim, or something. Plus she couldn't have known what she said would have such a devastating effect on me because I deliberately choose not to talk about certain things and/or people when I talk with her. Oh well...
