I firmly believe that you can affect how you feel about your circumstances. Not that you can entirely control your reaction, of course, and just get rid of a bad one or make up a good one. But if I'm reacting in a way that's unreasonable or unhealthy, I can at least examine why I feel this way, or figure out a healthier response and give myself reasons why I can work toward that response.
But sometimes it's hard, and today I'm in something of A Mood that's making things difficult. A mixture of actual (though small) bothers and possibly some physical/hormonal stuff. I'm working through it, but I'm going to distract myself with other things that are not bringing me down ...
1. Movie night at
jfrog78's was awesome! Of course we talked some about Warmakers, but we also watched Hot Fuzz and ate good food and just got to hang out. That's something I miss about the Warmakers campaign as much as the game itself. I hope to do something like this again in the future (with a
mimerki this time!) but I'm glad we got to do it while
coramegan is still in town.

jfrog78 also lent me some Kamelot CDs, so I have some new music to tide me over until my CD order arrives. Also, Kamelot was one of the bands I was looking at when I made my order, but I held off on them because I wasn't certain how much I'd like them based on the online samples I heard, so now I can try them without risk. :D
3. Emailing back and forth with
ratzeo this morning, since he didn't have class. I ♥ my boy.
4. On an utterly vain note, I am feeling pretty good about my hair. When I originally got it cut (and, more importantly, styled by a talented hairdresser), I thought it looked fabulous. Then I slept on it and washed it, and thought it looked dumb and kicked myself for trying to get a fancy haircut. Aaaaaand now I'm not freaking out anymore, and figuring out how to make it work, and even though it's not fabulous it looks fine. :P
5. Going out in the middle of the week tricks my body into feeling like the next work day is Monday. But tomorrow is Friday, woo!
