Garou national tomorrow and I really hope that my enthusiasm grows by then. I'm currently sitting here having had a fairly good day. I got my tele fixed today which is good but I'm still not in the best of moods. I'm feeling anti-social and don't want to have to make an effort to have company or be in company. In my current mood socialisiing will be a lot of effort because I'll have to try to act "normal" and happy.

Usually these sorts of moods disappear after a nights sleep so I'm hoping that by tomorrow I'll be feeling a lot happier about things.

So what to do for tonight. The few options that spring to mind are either a) go to bed now b) waste the evening in front of TV c) DVDs.

Oh well, I'll be alright tomorrow I dare say. Otherwise I'll have my laptop at the national and can find a quiet corner. My character has enough things on his mind that I will happily justify him being antisocial.

Oh for a simple life.

Why exactly do you have to go to this event ? Surely nobody's going to have a go at you for not turning up if the idea doesn't appeal ?

As for sleep - yes, get some, it's good. No need to be so conventional about your hours either. Nothing wrong with going to bed at 21:00 then getting up at 06:00 to do fun stuff then when you're more up for it. (Heh - that sounds a bit double entendre !)

It's surprising the extent to which people's moods are influenced by sleep, food, activity level and so on. Sleep particularly, though. It's quite spooky how, when tired, I can imagine that particular things bother me only to find that when I wake up next morning they don't bother me at all and it was just my conscious mind feeling a need to map reasons onto my mood.

Well, two people might have a go at me for not turning up. Those being the two people that I am giving a lift to, one of which I don't actually have contact details for so wouldn't have been able to warn.

The other thing being that it was just a whiny self-pitying post. I was in one of those moods where I wasn't making serious sense and was just after supportive comments (such as the one you kindly provided). I do this from time to time as you may have noticed. :)

I am actually quite looking forward to it. ITs a nice chance to see people I don't that often. From an IC point of view I am not sure how much I am looking forward to it but I dare say my characters general sociable nature will win through and I'll have fun (though probably nod off to sleep during the main moot when it is just so dull.... ). That and the whole thing will probably give me flashbacks to the event last year and bring up lots of memories that are not going to help his mood. I think he needs a holiday... Might have to turnsheet for a fortnight in tenerife or something. :)

I don't know if my mood is particularly influenced by sleep etc. I get the effect you are talking about from sleep but I don't need to feel tired before hand. I think it is more just that when I stop concentrating on it the stupid ideas leak out my ears and leave me alone. Or something like that. Its the effect I have noticed tonight. I started playing uplink and distracted myself sufficiently that I didn't even remember I was distracting myself. Thus problems disappeared and weren't significant enough to come back. :) Just as long as I don't think too hard about the causes... :)

Anyway, as you say, sleep good. I've built myself up a nice dual processor high bandwidth computer system with all the software I need to hack everything up to and including banks. A nice string of missions waiting to be done... It'll be fun time next session of uplink... :)

Oh, and the reason I try not to go to bed at 21:00 is because I won't get up at 06:00 I'll get up at whatever time I would have got up at had I gone to bed at this time. :) My mind is morally set against mornings. :)

Yet having said that I know find that at 8AM on a saturday morning I am sitting in my lounge bouncing along to a couple of great songs on MTV2. *yawn* I do feel that come midnight when today's game finishes I am going to be absolutely knackered. At least I have company on the way back to keep me awake. I could probably do with some nice ice cold drink to drink on the way home but I can think of no way to make and keep such a drink cold (yes, freezers would do the first but I have nothing suitable in them at the moment).

Anyway, I have plenty of time at the moment but I won't if i keep arsing around so I should have breakfast and shower and things I guess... And I will resist the urge to boot uplink up for a bit... :)
