I woke up at 7:30 this morning. Or 6:30, depending on how you think about it. Which is WAY too early to be up on a Sunday morning, particularly a Sunday morning following the week I've had. Particularly a Sunday morning following the week I've had when I spent an hour and a half last night watching light move and following considerably less of the conversation than usual. Particularly a Sunday with last week and last night and the fact that I was extremely teary all yesterday, which is a sure sign that I haven't gotten enough sleep (or that I'm miserably unhappy, but in this case it was the sleep).
Last night was the time change! I was looking forward to being able to sleep in without really sleeping in, and finally having enough sleep. And it should be stated that I did get enough sleep for last night, a good nine hours or so, but I think that it would have behooved me to spend this morning catching up on other sleep I hadn't gotten.
And while I'm complaining about things, why do most of my friends have the annoying habit of rambling on about things that I really don't care about? (or that I have only a very mild interest in and don't care that much about?) I thought it was bad in high school, with the Buffy obsession. Then last year everyone was talking about Vampire, and I realized that having just one friend ranting isn't really that bad, because she doesn't have anyone to bounce off of and escalate with. So last year we set the moratorium, and I cultivated friendships with people whose every other word did not relate to game. Now this year, those friends I made while avoiding the LARP? They're all talking about The Window! Constantly. And I hear from all their characters, too. And this is worse than last year, because I hang out with one group of them, and they tell me about an in-game incident. And then later, another person will join us, and I'll hear all about it from her character's perspective! And they say that I shouldn't hang out with them if I don't want to hear about game, but I made friends with them before they joined this crazy rpg, darnit! And I liked hanging out with them.
As you can tell, I'm feeling rather grumpy right now. I'm also feeling very hungry. These two things are probably related. However, since I only had one proper meal yesterday, and a distinct shortage of hot food, I really don't want to go to the continental breakfast and munch on stale bagels and cold cereal. Also, I still need to read the last third of El Collar De La Paloma, but I don't want to do that, either. Maybe I'll get dressed and borrow Inda from the SSFFS library, and then sit in Chase/Duckett and glower at passersby until hot food emerges. Who knows, I might even get lucky and the dining hall staff with have forgotten to change the clocks. Probably not. But they might take pity on us if there are enough hungry time-changed people and set it out a bit early.
