Exhale

Lots of emotion and tension during the past week. Some things stubbornly refuse to change, while others are changing drastically. The only comfort I find in this is the reminder that nothing is permanent. Even the frustrations that seem to be constant now... eventually they will fade away into new and different circumstances.

I finally got to see Joey's handsome face and bright smile on Skype today. We weren't able to talk very much at all this week, so it was a relief to finally see him, even through the blurred and distorted lens of his webcam. We talked for an hour before exchanging goofy air kisses and saying goodnight. His voice always melts my stress away and makes me feel whole again.

My stomach has given me trouble all week long. I eat and feel ill later on, or I feel too queasy to eat anything in the first place. This afternoon I ate a chocolate covered strawberry, which tasted amazing at the time, but didn't sit right in my tummy. Now I can't decide whether to eat dinner or not. I know I need to, but I really don't feel like it. Maybe just a nice cup of chamomile...

I'm going to put my pajamas on, curl up with a cat, and watch a few episodes of True Blood. A friend lent me the first season, and has been prodding me to hurry up and finish it so we can talk about it. So far it's pretty good, but I'm tired of watching the idiot brother get high and have sex with random women. I do like the vampire's southern gentleman style.

My cup of tea awaits...

Every couple of years I take the test again. At one point in my life I was an ESFJ. I was going thru some shit then and realized I percieved things differently.

As a child I was introverted, I think more because of circumstances rather than part of my being.

As for the work stress, I hear you. I also find it interesting when you see some kind of office violence and the people who are interviewed are like, "He was such a nice guy," or "She never seemed unhappy."

It's working in a pressure cooker that makes a normal person become insane.

And last but not least, True Blood. I love the series because it's campy and goofy. I liked the books much better but I still don't miss an episode when they air. They're just fun.

Ok, truly, this is the last thing. Miss T hooked me up with a BBC show called "Being Human." If you get BBC America check it out. It's like a soap opera with the main characters being a vampire, a warewolf, and a ghost. It took me a few episodes to decide if I liked it or not. It's odd and very British, but I enjoy it.
