dorchadas | Happy birthday to me

Almost a third of the way through to a century, and so far my plan to live forever is going splendidly. Also, when I woke up the weather was cloudy and cool, my favorite weather anywhere. That's the upside. The downside is that I've felt nauseous since I woke up for no obvious reason.

I don't have any kind of major celebration planned.

schoolpsychnerd and I might go to Jin Ju tonight, if it's open and if my stomach ever decides to settle down. I was originally thinking about having a party, but I really wanted a weekend where we didn't have to do anything and I could just relax. I have WFRP on alternate Mondays, Japanese tutoring every Tuesday, book group most Wednesdays (and

schoolpsychnerd is gone much of that evening too), Fridays and Saturdays are often taken up with the socializing, and Sundays are sometimes quiet but sometimes not. Maybe I'll still do something next week, but probably not.

I've been in a questionable mood all day. It might just be being stuck in my bubble:

...but honestly what often happens is that if someone does talk to me, my spines go up, I'll respond tersely in the hope that they'll get tired of talking and go away. I'm amazed that

schoolpsychnerd puts up with me, frankly. Emoji Sweatdrop

But even then, right now is the most sociable I've ever been in my life, with the possible exception of university. And you really can't compare a time when you live five or ten minutes' walk from all your friends with any other time in your life. So obviously I have some kind of good qualities that convinces people to reach past the spines. Or maybe they just look sharper from the inside.
