dan just left. he came down for the weekend, well at least saturday to sunday. he was here about 21 hours total, but its the best weekend I've had in ages. months even. and i did a lot too. usually my weekends are so lame and uneventful, full of work and television and aloneness and weariness and depression. but this one, well since wednesday its been great. slept, not as much as I would have liked really, but its better getting up at 930am than 530am. i did nothing all day thursday. did work all day on friday. saturday i did work again, but then dan got here. we went to walmart, talked to adam, dropped off some film, went out to eat with jeff and adam at bw3, went bowling and played some pool, then came back to my place for pie, scrabble, and lots of simpsons episodes. it was good to hang out with my friends, nearly all that are left around here. if randy had been around it would have been everyone around here. sure i was very bitter and sarcastic last night, but we all ripped on each other, we all had a good time. even though dan himself wasn't in the best of moods, slightly depressed, he still was the catalyst for much of the humor. i fed off his energy. there a good vibe in the air around us last night, old friends getting together for a rare weekend of fun and socializing. not used to that at all. i needed that. i need more of that. and now that dan is gone i feel like i don't know what to do with the rest of my day. i need to type up plenty of documents, plan plenty of stuff for tomorrow and the rest of the week, as well as watch two videos I'm showing tomorrow and tuesday, yet i don't feel like doing any of it nor do I feel like doing anything. yet i'm slightly ansy to do something. this weekend was the first time i'd really done anything in a long time, anything social and saturday was so full of fun activitities that I was spoiled, I want to do more of those things. sigh. oh well, back to my life. only 3 weeks left. only 3 weeks left. I can get through it.
