addiction

We bought a fan yesterday, because the nights are too warm for Andrew, so he can't sleep well. (I don't notice a problem, I even have a quilt I use - but I love the warmth).

It's really loud, though, and that bothers MY sleeping patterns. Even when I wear earplugs. I had to turn it off in the middle of the night when I got up to pee.

I don't know what we're going to do about that.

I just finished reading Isaac Asimov's Second Foundation , and I'm moving on to Foundation's Edge. I've also got a Sherri S. Tepper book I'm looking forward to, The Visitor, and I've got various other books at home to read. It's a good book season.

I go through cycles. I'll want to do nothing but read for weeks, just read read read, and then I won't have the impetus to pick up a book for a while.

I think the only thing that keeps me healthy is my incredible non-addictive personality. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING gets boring after awhile.

I once had a sheet of acid for a year, because I'd think "Maybe I'll do acid this weekend" and then when the weekend came, I'd think "nah, I don't feel like it. Maybe next weekend". I'd sell it or give it away, and STILL it took me a year to get rid of it. Of course, I didn't make any effort to sell it (just sold it to friends who asked if I had any). I wanted to have the acid in case I was in the mood for it... I just wasn't rarely in the mood for it.

And I LOVE acid.

I'm lucky that I have this kind of personality. My mother's side of the family is full of alcoholics and drug addicts. My brother has an addictive personality too, but all he's ever been addicted to has been exercise and video games. He's got the smarts to stay away from things that could harm him if he did too much. Either that or his prejudices (i.e. all drugs are bad) are useful to him in this case.

Last night we went to Flying Star for dinner. I got the chicken pot pie, and it was this HUGE bowl of excessively creamy chicken soup with a huge pie crust that looked and tasted like a ritz cracker. It was tasty - but wierd. I had about half, Andrew finished it up after he ate his tempeh burger.

We also shared an apple pie with ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel. It was really good... but it wasn't on the diet. I felt like a bad girl, for a while.

Not long enough to matter, though.

i just started re-reading foundation, although i fought with myself for a few minutes considering reading prelude to foundation first. every once in awhile i go on asimov binges. love it. it's brain massage for me.

i miss acid sooooooo much, but am resigned to never dropping again because i can't score. how sad is that.

One nice thing about acid and shrooms is that if you do them too much, the effect gets lost. So its actually a plus to not do them all the time. One more reason I'm so fond of them. :)
