Things:
- Today is apparently overstimulation day. I don't know if I've just stayed up too late the last couple nights or if I need some alone time or if there are just too many people in the library today. Wait, no, there are certainly too many people in the library.
I haven't quite reached the point where I want to kill everyone but I do kinda want to curl up in a ball and make everyone shut up and leave me alone. I am attempting to cope by pretending I'm a robot but it isn't proving to be all that effective.
- I think that I have discovered at least one of the roots of my anxiety about calling people on the telephone. It's because calling people on the telephone is inherently intrusive. If I email someone, they can ignore my email until they feel like dealing with it. If I call them, I am making an irritating noise in their space without an invitation.
The roots of my neurotic horror of intruding on other people's space uninvited we will leave for another time. (OMG, they will hate me forever!)
- One of my coworkers told me this morning that they think moles are ugly and off-putting. How is that possible? Moles are velvety with tiny little eyes and pink starry noses and enormous shovels for paws. How is that not adorable?
I think I have to work out a pattern for an amigurumi mole.
- I don't think that I have enough tea to deal with today. At least I have an appropriate icon for the situation.

Date: 2010-07-02 06:03 am (UTC)Oddly for me I have much, much more trouble with talking to people that I don't know so well on the internet. I'd rather call someone, and be able to gauge their reactions to things I say, than the cold and impersonal of the internet where I don't know what the hell they're thinking. The internet has in the past too often lead to miscommunication for me, though, so that might be some of where that is from, in my case.
