A bit bummed

You know, I never talk on the phone.

I call or am called by my mom on the weekends to chat. pierceheart calls me to tell me he's on his way home. That's it. I use maybe an hour's worth of cell phone minutes a month. I never hear from anyone just to chat, or get an invitation from them to call just to chat. I would like people to know that they should feel free to call me whenever they like, just to chat, and if I can't talk I'll let you know when I can.

I also haven't socialized in person with people outside of a particular group in months, with the exception of one or two nights.

I'm starting to feel alienated and disconnected from a lot of my friends. It's really bumming me out. I crave conversation, fun, gossip, silliness.

I would really like to get out and see you all, or talk to you, or SOMETHING. Maybe after my damn recital is over, I'll be able to do that. And no, knittingkumquat, I realize now that I WON'T be able to make it to your impromptu craft night--I will be too busy ironing stuff, painting my nails, and getting ready for my recital the next day. Sorry. I really, really, really would have liked to do that. :(

I need a party or something.

And I feel bad that I forgot to wish geoogo a happy birthday. I hope it was a good one.

Has anyone here read the books in the Saga of Pliocene Exile by Julian May? If you have, and if you are also familiar with Celtic mythology, did the books make you cringe, or were they any good?
