First of all, being around human beings for very long exhausts me. I like people (except for the ones I don't), but just being at the non-paying job yesterday--not even working much, mostly talking & joking & trying to convince them they need to pay me--left me wearied and wishing I could find a dark hole somewhere and remain there all weekend.

Second, I stayed up late last night re-reading an old C.J. Cherryh novel (Gate of Ivrel for those interested: either her first or second novel (I forget which) and not her best, but the start of one of my favorite series ever).

Third, when I did finish the book and try to sleep, I was kept awake by a neighbor's car alarm. The noise, of course, drove me to get online and chat until 3 a.m.

I am in desperate need of clothes, but for the above reasons am finding it very difficult to get myself out of the house to buy some. Please, somebody, kick me until I go and do something...

"I'm not unsocial, but I really don't need it as much as I need time alone."

It always used to amaze me that, when a person needs to be alone, most people around them assume that they're upset, or depressed, or evil, or in need of a group hug, or whatever. Now I'm no longer amazed by that, but I am still somewhat amazed by the number of people who are simply afraid to be alone even when they clearly need some time apart.

No, you didn't give me much of a kick, but I think it might be just enough to get me out of the house for a little while. Thanks!
