I had a very strange night the other night. It started in that oh-so gleeful outside word. It started out quite innocuously with getting my car back - finally. Then we went to lezchat (lesbian chat at the LA LGBT Center). We've been going for a few weeks, and it's fun and social, a nice way to meet other lesbians in a fun and non-bar way. We went out for dinner with the group afterwards, then met up with Omar.
We definitely found it tough to get a drink. After waiting for about ten minutes while others were served, I finally pulled out my old school bar mannerisms and smiled coquettishly at the bartender. That worked. We got gin and tonics and settled into a back booth.
Later, when I got home, I found myself just a little too wound up to get to sleep. I attributed it to the iced coffees I'd downed at dinner, or all the walking around we'd done, or the adrenalin when the kareoke
Hours passed. The internet got less exciting. Katie fell asleep. I got less coherent. I could not sleep. I redid the tumblr. I celebrated at 4 am when Stephen was featured on cute boys with cats. See here. Super-awesome, no??? I was so manic, so pathetic, so ridiculously bored yet excited by the minimal, the ridiculous...it was all in all just like I would be if I was on all sorts of illicit druggy drugs except I was not. All I can attribute it to was that I had switched medications to wellbutrin and topamax that week, and those are both powerful stimulants. Powerful stuff. I was up till 11 am the next day. My god!!!!
Finally, finally, on Katie's urgings, I slept. I slept until about 9 am the next day, and I was so glad to finally get some rest.
