Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

1. My dad and I are on a trip in California until the 3rd and we're currently staying with relatives. Conveniently enough, a friend I met over Gaia lives in the same city and we managed to get together for lunch. This was one of the happy occasions when both parties got what they expected and weren't kidnapped or raped or molested. It was pretty fun. We went to Todai's Sushi Buffet and to a Japanese market.

2. My father wakes up around 6 every day. Even on his days off. While we're on this trip, we spend the night in the same room. This means that I also wake up at around 6 now. This is super unnatural for me. I don't even wake up this early during the school year and during the summer I usually get up around 10 or 12. Also, lately I've been leaning on the insomniac side. Needless to say, I'm short on sleep.

3. I've been really lazy lately. I've been trying to cut down on food to compensate for it a bit, but I'm not doing too well. I need exercise, but I lack the motivation.

4. I've come across a situation with no obvious right solution. Either decision I make leads to unhappiness and I don't know what to do about it. If I pick choice A those involved in choice B will suffer and I'll lose something important to me, but I'll have those involved in A and it would make me happy in some ways. If I pick choice B, I'll be happier than if I choose A (probably), but I'll lose those involved in choice A and I don't want that either. I wish there were two of me so that I could choose both.

5. I hate humidity. And hot weather. And most of all, I hate the icky feeling that comes with humidity. I really don't think I could survive in such a place for very long without going crazy.

6. I'm one of those people who has trouble sleeping if there's light. I can sleep fine during the day, but if there's light at night I can't. I think I'm also getting more finicky physically because I'm having trouble sleeping on things that are not beds. Of course, there is a slight issue with both of the things I've tried sleeping on ~ the sofa is too short and not quite wide enough and it slants at an awkward angle. The futon mattresses were worn flat in the middle and super hard on both ends, causing evenness issues amongst other things.

7. I've taken to collecting memories. The memories I collect aren't really important on a world scale, or even to other people, but they're important to me on the inside or in my life. I'm doing this for a few reasons ~ A) I'll probably someday forget these things and I don't want to B) These memories are proof that I've lived to this day and C) because I want to be able to look back and see what kind of person I was (this is also one of the reasons I write in the Gaia journal).

8. I'm get good grades in school and I usually have a lot of common sense. However, there is one thing I fail at. That is thinking on my feet during face to face human interactions. For example, I recently caused a hug fail. What's even more pathetic is that I initiated the hug. The other person was gesturing for me to come closer, and I totally didn't get it.... so they ended up squeezing my arm instead. I only realized later what they were trying to do. That happens to me a lot.
