Honestly, I don't even know how to post without just being very disparaging about your mother. Because, TWO O'CLOCK IN THE FUCKING MORNING? SERIOUSLY? Unless you have severed an artery or the house is on fire, or it's a booty call that you KNOW will be well received, there is really no possible justification for calling someone at 2 o'clock in the fucking morning.
Hell, some sleazy stranger was in the habit of calling me up with heavy breathing shit when I lived in Egypt, and when he rang me at 3am on a school night (my father not being in good health at all at this point, I was certainly not about to ignore any middle-of-the-night calls) and I was so beyond enraged that, in addition to bellowing
"FUCK OFF AND DIE YOU SHITHEAD!!!"
down the phone in my best, most thoroughly unsexy, 'Totally Livid And Prepared To Stick A Chainsaw Up Your Ass, Cut Out Your Heart And Feed It To You As You Splutter Out Your Last Bloody Gasps, Before Chopping Off Your Head And Shitting Down Your
Neck,
And Your Mother Would Totally Back Me Up, You Fuckstain'
tones of rabid righteous fury (he did start to splutter an apology, which was the first time he'd shown any sign of registering that I was not, in fact, a random whore, despite being an English speaker) I slammed the phone handset down so hard that I broke the phone.
Ahem.
Not that I am suggesting you should be threatening to murder your mother, or breaking the phone. But I am
astounded
that she would imagine 2am is an appropriate time to call anyone for anything that is not immediately life-threatening. (Or a bootycall. From Johnny Depp.)
Today is my "niece's" 3rd birthday party, and I will get to meet her little brother for the first time. I should be super excited, but I can't seem to muster the tiniest bit of enthusiasm.

don't beat yourself up... Tom and I have been pretty anti-social all weekend too- sometimes it's tough going to get the energy to, well, get going. Once you get there, I am sure you'll have a lovely time- it's ok that you aren't bouncing off the wall in anticipation beforehand...
Nora is wise.
Vortex, I...don't even know what to say. Fay said it pretty well, actually. I'd be furious with her. (Your mom, I mean. Silly vague pronouns.)
Seriously. No calling at 2AM unless it's life or death.
Or a pre-approved drunk dial to a missing F2F Buffista.
Thanks, Nora. I'm sure I will have a good time once I get there too, but right now I am exhausted and sore. I'd much prefer a cup of tea and a book followed by a long ass nap.
((((sj)))) I hate the days when it's a struggle to want to do anything, even fun things.
I'm having the opposite problem. Drew's gone, and I'm on break. I could do schoolwork (I have a couple of academic books I need to read) or write or sit around and watch a movie or go work out at the gym I pay for for no apparent reason, but what I really want to do is go hang out with a good friend. Alas, two of my best local friends are away, and the others are busy. I'm not depressed about this, but I am fighting inertia. I need an outside motivator to get myself moving, it seems. Behold my lazy! It is fierce!
Kristin, you should have stayed in Connecticut longer! We're heading home today, and I would have loved to see you again.
I know! No way I could have, though. I'm only home for a total of 12 days all summer, and Drew's home a lot less. The poor pets need some reminder that they have humans. Plus, it is nice to be home. I'm just filled with teh lazy.
