aprilstarchild1. Was biking home, and going through downtown. Was near the Hawthorne bridge when something felt...different. I scratched my head thinking about it and--
aah. I left my helmet at work.
I know lots of people (gives an evil look to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
common_as_stone) don't ever wear helmets. I see non-helmeted people all the time, although they're not the majority. But I still felt kinda naked. And sheepish, in much the same way I do when a light turns red while I'm in the intersection (the lights are timed for cars, not bikes). I mentally frown at people who aren't wearing helmets (especially if they have kids! Gaah! That annoys me so incredibly much!), and here I am riding during rush hour without one. Oy.
I'll be riding without one tomorrow morning too, dammit. I suppose I could ride the bus to work and just carry my helmet home, but....nah.
On a barely-related note, girls with beat-up cut-to-biking-length pants and fitted tshirts and converse sneakers with no socks, and messy hair and big ear piercings, riding fixed-gear bikes...are totally hot. Shit!
jenhowell got one of the tshirts that has a picture of a bike and the text "Put the fun between your legs" and I'm starting to think I want one too!
2. People are going camping for a music thing in the desert this weekend. But not me. I'll be allll aloooone. In theory I'm going to see VNV Nation tomorrow night--I should call Coral from work tomorrow or something. It's at the Hawthorne Theatre, maybe I'll just bike there in my goth stuff and not drink much. Heh, I haven't worn any of that stuff since Convergence. I love wearing a skirt on a bike, though.
But, yeah: Tonight I'm the one going to bed early, not Jarrod. So strange.
3. Damn, I forgot how much better I liked the XR version of Adderall. Holy effin' shit. Good timing, too; today work was hellacious. We were so insanely short-handed! And so busy!!
But no more "get to work barely awake--suddenly feel really 'up' and talky--able to work for a few hours--suddenly tired and spacey...until my next dose..." I take it, and then I notice a bit later that I'm focusing way better and getting things done like crazy, and it wears off in this barely-perceptible way, so that around four or four-thirty I'm looking at the clock and thinking, "Huh, I should take some short-acting for after work."
I was taking just 10mgs three times a day, but my after-work dose seems best at 5mgs. I'm able to not feel completely exhausted when I get home, I can still accomplish things after work; but I can still eat dinner and get to bed at a reasonable hour.
4. I poked around the Stardust movie website and now I'm mentally running around in circles "Squee!!!"ing like the fangirl I totally am. BPAl came out with some perfumes for Stardust and Good Omens and I totally want half of them. Even though I never remember to wear perfume!
5. Okay. Bedtime. G'night, world.
