So yesterday, I managed to piss off two close acquaintances and play a terrible concert. Life felt sort of bleak when I got home, so I decided to transfer my roommate's keyboard (which is stored in the garage) to my room to hopefully cheer myself up. The toy like sounds that came from my four year old earphones sounded miserable... but maybe that was just my playing. Gosh I think the highlight of my day may have been an argument I had over movie aesthetics in the afternoon... or maybe the roast beef subway haha.
Anyway, I didn't really like yesterday, but today I had a ton of fun to make up for it!
I got new headphones in the mail from Amazon (two day shipping is pretty awesome) which made my mp3 player pretty good (and later the keyboard!). I guess I did a well at work because one of my fussier tutees actually admitted she learned a lot today. I had an EXQUISITE dinner (courtesy of Popeye's) with some buddies and brought some chicken home for my roommate.
Man... I think I know how my Dad must have felt when he bought me Pokemon Yellow back in the day... Because my roommate literally screamed when he saw the "present" I had for him. It was like Christmas at the end of November. Our house glittered with festive spirit as we watched Celebrity Jeopardy videos.
For all the nonsense that happened yesterday, just a few good events with the right company can really pacify the anxiety. And thinking about it, the weekend before yesterday was pretty damn pleasant and so was Thanksgiving break. I guess it's pretty easy to get really sore from one day of the month when the rest of your calender has had good fortune. I should just stick to counting my blessings.
Merry Christmas Eve^25
