Saturday, November 22, 2003 I've been a bad bad girl. On my way home from work, at 1 in the morning, I stopped at a 24 hours deli and bought some Kinder chocolate and practically eat the whole thing. I may now feel appropiately guilty. Tomorrow I absolutely must take my iBook to the genius bar at the Apple store and see what's wrong with the power supply and the CD tray (well, I know what's wrong: I dropped the thing) and whether it can be repaired. Then I'll go pick up Melissa and spend the afternoon with her. In the evening I'll be going to a little get-together at a colleague's though I am not planning on staying long. Not that I have anything against the people who are going, but I know it will be a pretty family oriented thing, very low key and there is only so much low key I can take. Maybe I should really work on my extraordinary capacity for getting bored very fast. It's always been like that. My father used to say I had no "internal life" and that's why I got bored so easily (yes, I guess he was calling me an imbecile). It might well be. It might be that I need to be constantly entertained. It might also be that I don't have much patience for the things I do not enjoy. The way I see life is about enjoying it and I enjoy doing, as opposed to watching or, even worse, "contemplating". Maybe it's not only about enjoyment but pleasure it's a big part of the picture for me. This pursuit of happiness of mine might explain why I tend to be happier than most people, or maybe just more vocal about it. I stay away from the things I do not derive pleasure from and I pursue with a vengeance the things and the people that make me happy. Obviously, I am not talking only about immediate gratification. I do understand that some pleasures are only enhanced by delaying them and that happiness is a complex experience that does involve conquering challenges and all that. Still, I like to enjoy every step of the way and I am not wiling to waste my time with things or people I do not throughly enjoy. I was in the mood to reach out to friends today but was unable to reach almost every one of them: Adriana in Milan, Italy; Valeria in Paris, France; Liliana and Cecilia in Montevideo, Uruguay and Monica in Rome, Italy. I did manage to instant message Cecilia (who was actually in Buenos Aires) and to talk to Adriana's daugther. I also had a videoconference with my brother in Madrid aroun noon. We used iVisit but I could not get the audio to work. We will ty again on Monday. M.A. is leaving tomorrow for a week. It'a a real bummer but the major one will be when he goes back to Spain at the end of December. I got so used to having him around all the time I am going to miss him like hell. I am planning on going to Argentina in January and hopefully hubby will be moving in again with me in February. That should keep me busy, and happy! 2:36 AM
