Distraction.
Aug 18, 2001
How much of mood is chemical, and how much is mental? I don't know.
Last night was one of "those" nights. I once explained to somebody that,
"when I'm moody I realize that it's mostly chemical (and not your fault)
so I just try to 'ride it out' and not take it out on you". She told me
that that was a mark of sanity. So what is the non-medicated population
supposed to do when sadness hits for no good, immediately fixable reason?The answer: Distraction! We're supposed to stay good and distracted. The structure and rewards of working usually goes a good job of keeping me distracted. So does reading. So does sex. Sleeping works remarkably well too. Music.
I now understand the anaesthetizing appeal of television.
Idle hands are the Devil's playthings. And that's a fact, Jack.
I moved my computer around on the table here. The Feng Shuy is much better now. No more hunchy back. No more staring into the corner. Yay.
Check out how secure a boyfriend I am: I'm going to build Natasha a web gallery so that leering Nintendo-playing internet weirdos may better drool over her luscious perky breasts. ;)
I've got one job prospect now. When I want something I really go for it. After the technical interview on the phone I got on the internet and found the answer to all of the questions that I missed and mailed them to him. I was surprised at all the isoteric computer knowledge that I have kicking around in my head. I'm SO ready to really ENGAGE again. The great thing about computer stuff is that the answer is ALWAYS answerable for the resourceful.
Yeah, time to find a job. :)
