8:30am
Drifting off in a daydream; the first for today. It was another long night, starting with Dream Dinners, moving into Friction and settling for food at Denny's. Finally a few side streets back to home and into bed for a little under two hours of sleep.
Monster energy drinks are my best friend right now. It keeps the yawns away. Yawn. (Ok, most of them)
So the daydream was of me getting to know someone new. Laughing, asking questions, being playful the way I can be when I'm giddy inside. It's something I haven't really done in a while for obvious reasons and hang-ups. Life can't stop because of heart beats and breathing doesn't cease for the beats that skip. (Or skip-out)
Friction was fun--to a point. A week ago when Justin & I were there, he remarked how sad most of the people looked there. I said it was because they were lonely and hoping to somehow meet someone. We tend to focus on the music and dancing and aren't usually swept up in that loneliness in a dance environment. That's not to say we don't notice guys we find attractive or that we can't sense people looking at us, but it's usually not our focus. For me, part of that is I'm not there to mingle. I'm there to enjoy my friends and try to experience the exhilaration of the music's vibrations bouncing off my body and forcing me to move to it's waves. Not too unlike being in the ocean performing the delicate dance with the waves; swaying with the currents.
