yesterday i was in an awful mood because it felt as if all the forces in the universe were conspiring to make me feel lonely and unwanted. so i did what i always do when i'm feeling depressed- i cried for a long time and then went to sleep. and then when i woke up i thought some hershey's might make me feel better, but since i had been crying intermittenly the chocolate only made me feel like choking. this always happens, but i never learn. so of course i started crying again and feeling miserable about how the tears would totally ruin my complexion, which just made me cry even more. and after all this i was quite tired so i went back to bed for the 4th nap of the day, whereupon the sister barged into the room and committed herself to milking my misery.

which is how i hid helplessly under my blanket as i listened to her sing variations of her very original "Sulky Face" song. which was basically a song dedicated to me, in case you hadn't realised. and even though i pretended to be asleep the whole time, she persisted in singing at the top of her lungs for the next HALF HOUR. it's a good thing i spent the past few weeks cultivating the zen-ness, because the old me would have done grave physical damage under such circumstances.

anyway, thankfully today was markedly better, especially when i woke up and was surprised to find that i wasn't even in a grumpy mood. the only bummer was that just now i was hoping that the sunday movie would be catch me if you can, but turns out this week it's Planet of the Apes. and movies about animals are near the top of my Hated Movies list. plus, the extra bummer is that it stars MARK WAHLBERG, who used to be one of my favourite actors. i mean he has this rugged muscly cuteness about him, but i think it peaked in the italian job and went downhill in all the rest. it's like getting johnny depp to act as a singing banana or something, which would be a nightmare from hell. =p
