Today is Prickle-Prickle, day 41 in the season of Discord, 3268.

*squeak* I got in to work this morning to find a vase of purple tulips on my desk from my coworkers. Yay! Looks like I got flowers for my birthday after all.

I sense a potential road trip coming on: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A38069-2002Apr24.html

Yeah, I'm an utter novice like the article's author, but it sounds fun. I could be more clueful about telescopes and stargazing by August. I really hate that I live in such a light-polluted area that seeing any stars at all is a rarity.

all hair, all the time!

*cackle* So, this summer I could go see Cinderella, Faster Pussycat, Poison and Winger (WINGER!!!!) all on the same bill. Words cannot express how excited I am about this. "Behold the power of Cheese", indeed.

I wonder what's up with me? I have been incredibly weepy the last couple of days. No real reason I can pinpoint, but I've been on the point of bursting into tears at various times for the last couple of days. Someone said something to me in email today which I suspect was meant jokingly, but it ended up making me cry. Someone else said something that made me sniffle in a good way, so I suppose it evens out. I'm desperately fighting the urge to go chop off my hair (which is now just about to the bottom of my shoulder blades). Every time I get to feeling depressed, I want to do something drastic to my hair, either cut it all off or dye it some unnatural color. Oddly enough, I don't think I'm actually depressed right now. My mood is off and I feel a bit sad, but it feels noticeably different to me from the depression I'd been dealing with for the last however many months before the sam-e kicked in and the sun came back out. My boss pointed out that we're allowed to go in the hole for up to a week of vacation time (we get a week immediately which we can take, although we still have to accrue it), so I've been toying with the idea of taking a couple of days (which I do actually have), throwing some clothes and music into the car and going walkabout for a bit. Maybe that's what I need to snap out of this whatever it is.
