- I've finished reading my book (No matter that I'm traumatized due to a sort of separation anxiety already.)
- I have 2 new CDs on order
- I've organized some bill paying stuff
- All television was avoided
- A new book has been ordered
- Spent time chatting with a great person
- The most wonderful part of the day; however, revolved around the fact that I had some time alone. It was quiet, until I filled the house with sounds carefully chosen by me and me alone. Total control...
If this would be a movie, I'd close my eyes, tip my face skyward and elegantly spin and spin with my arms stretched out at my sides - drinking in the moment. Needless to say, my vertigo and general gracelessness prevent that scenario from occurring. Either way, it was a pretty great day just for that one reason. For that, I am so grateful that I had to write a post. Dorky, perhaps, but it made me happy. Silence and privacy are very important to me and are not within my reach 99.3% of the time; so to me, this is big.

I'm glad to hear things fell into place for you - knowing your luck I'd have expected something to have come up when on your own !
Our holiday weekend is, as expected, a little wet - do you have that issue to keep you indoors ?
I've found that there is a fine line between peaceful solitude and deperate lonliness. Glad to hear that you found yourself on the happier side of that line.
Carpy - well, things do have a tendency to come up, (this is me we're talking about), but everything went quite smoothly actually and slid into place. And interestingly, other than a brief excursion out, I spent the rest of my time inside. It was quite gray with fog, heavy mist, just varying degrees of wetness I suppose- sounds like what you had there. It appears to be sunny so far today and slightly drier, so we'll see what the day holds. Of course, I've lost my privacy, but I'm glad I had it for a while.
Skrambled - You know, you are thoroughly correct. Interestingly, I have the ability to feel 100% alone and lonely in a crowd, so for me, it isn't so much connected to my surroundings as to what is in my head. And yes, I was definitely on the happier side of that line. Something tells me that you are speaking from experience here...
silence and privacy are huge and important, and you are so cool, i hope you don't mind me saying...i wish i met chicks like you...
Silence and privacy are of the utmost importance. You can really only feel at some sort of peace when you've got them. I agree with Skrambled here though, there is a fine line, but most of the time being away from people makes me much happier. Glad to hear your day was so wunderbar!
retarius - I appreciate the 'cool' statement, and as long as you mean it, I don't mind that or anything else you say. And you DID meet a chick like me... I'm right here! =) I know... millions of miles away doesn't really help, huh? Besides, I'm guessing that you have a few lurking around in Japan. If not, you have to move. It's as simple as that.
Hans - I can definitely see you 'getting' what I mean here. And there is a fine line, it just takes longer to get to that line when you feel so far from it at times.
eKapa - You have a new set of rules... you've recently moved. Now you call all the shots. Struggling to get over a social phobia is going to be tough because you could always retreat and no one would really know; but you'd know. I think you have enough inside you to overcome it, I really do. But don't forget that some time by yourself really helps you to become comfortable with you. Oh... LOVE the 'note to self'... I've found that my madness has migrated south after obviously filling the upper hemisphere. =)
