here i am

david sedaris has become my god. i've read each of his books so many times, but now i can't get enough. i look for articles, npr contributions, anything. i love him, and his dry, sarcastic humor is therapeutic and of course reminds me of maru, who lives so goddamn far away.

last night i went out for the first time since stupidity (random dinners and nights at friends' houses don't count as "nights out", do they?), and it was weird and funny. the best part of this whole thing is having people treat you like you're sick and trying to heal. either way, going out has never been my thing, but this whole "being single" thing is pretty strange. when i finally dragged my drunk ass home, my neighbors were having some sort of pow wow, and stayed up until way past sunrise, meaning i stayed up as well, thanks to the noise level.

my new life is great. barf.
