Speed Up

I've noticed when I want to deal with people like I do normally when I'm feeling pretty down, I just... speed up. Everything, it's like I kick my metabolism into a higher gear, my thoughts start whipping by, my hands move faster (which is about normal again, but more... spastic). And I feel terrible afterwards, much like coming down off a narcotic-induced state: very very similar actually. Something one would ingest, stomach-cramps and a slight dizziness, like a hangover but different.

I don't regret doing it, last night at my aunt and uncle's was really cool. I forgot how much I like arriving at family functions sans immediate family. Reminds everyone subconciously that I'm not just a David and Barbara attachment (oh no, you all know my parents names now, what am I to do?) but someone who's been living on their own for going on 8 years. It's nice, my family is full of funny very structured mores of interaction. Alot of it is probably my fault too, I'm not claiming immunity by any stretch of the imagination, but it's just nice to be placed in the "independent relative" box.

Had really cool conversations, got to see a stupendously talented edited video of the youngest's high school life. Man, he loves video media more than anyone I've ever met, I am very glad he's going into film. Might actually get the oldest out to Korean Movie Mondays.

Actually, now that I think of it, he should probably be awarded "most effective use of peer pressure". And just to clarify, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Or a good thing. Just a thing.

Hahahahaha.

Currently Listening: The White Stripes - Get Behind Me Satan (full album)

And, if that one isn't working and you require some of my musical taste, check this dark hip hop out...

Obie Trice - Average Man
