Black Friday
What an ironic name. It was kind of black and drizzly and boring.
I wish I could figure out why I only feel halfway normal in the middle of the night, when everyone else is asleep. Seriously, I feel like crap and desperately want to sleep all day, but at around midnight, I start to perk up and feel like doing things. Also, I wish I lived in a city that has decent public transportation. Why, when Las Vegas was growing by leaps and bounds each month, didn’t they think about growing their public transportation the same way. We should all have an easy, affordable, time-efficient way to take a bus/train from our homes to downtown, the Strip, UNLV, and the airport. Instead, it takes miles of extra walking and hours and hours of extra time, because in Las Vegas, most buses run once an HOUR. In San Francisco, the bus that had a stop right outside our apartment building ran every 8 minutes during busy times and every 20 minutes during slow times…although it seemed like every 2 minutes when we wanted watch something good on tv. But, as much as everyone complains about public transit in SF, they know they’re complaining about one of the best systems in the country and they just want it to be a smidgen better. You can get to just about everywhere you want to go in the city (and outside of the city by using BART) without having to go miles out of your way or stand for an hour in 113 degree weather, which is what the temperature was when Leigh-Ann and I took the bus to the car dealer when we first moved to Vegas. We had to walk about a mile to that bus stop AND wait about an hour for that bus.
(These thoughts brought to you courtesy of the repo man who wants my car) We never should’ve let the slimy car salesman convince us that the Aztek wasn’t worth repairing. For one, I actually liked the Aztek better than the Equinox, and for another, the Aztek would long be paid off by now, even if everything had to have been replaced in it, mechanically-speaking.

Are you a vampire? Seriously, I understand that vampires want to sleep all day and start to feel lively and normal around the middle of the night. What you think is fibromyalgia may in fact be a symptom of your refusal to yield to the vampire call. You’ve got to admit, it would explain a lot.

Ah, that makes sense, and it explains why food has been making me feel kind of queasy these days, too. Apparently I need some fresh blood. Mmmm. I’ll really miss cookies though.
No more will I refuse to yield to the vampire call - I will live my life as it is meant to be lived, at night. The rest of the world be damned. Whoops, it’s starting to seem like that, isn’t it? The rest of the world is kind of scary. It used to be that nighttime was scary, but now it’s what happens during the day that’s scary.
