screaming wild

I don't have an addictive personality, or I don't think I do, but I do have two pretty hearty addictions. I think everyone has things they get addicted to right? I don't really know.

Either way I am addicted to exercise and coffee pretty heavily.
Coffee is standard, normal - don't think it's necessarily a caffeine addiction as it is a COFFEE one, because tea and whatever don't do it for me the way coffee does. And after working in a real honest to god espresso bar, it's not just coffee anymore but espresso at that.
The hard stuff.


Exercise is not a bad thing to be addicted to by any means but I certainly have the same patterns that you do with any addiction. I think it's the endorphins, I crave them so badly. I haven't really worked out in a week and feel shitty as a result. I went to class yesterday and felt better but it was the first one in a week, and it was pretty nonathletic so didn't quite do it for me.
I'm about to head up to the Y right now for a swim. Hopefully epic, everything I need. I feel better just knowing I'm going.

Today was weird, and last night was weird. I had a lovely little evening involving midnight walks and dinner at 1 am and collages and good company, and then at 1:30 some dude got beaten up outside my window. It was really scary, I could hear him screaming and crying. I feel terrible that I didn't call the cops but they were gone within two minutes, and I was scared. I should know better for next time.

This morning I was woken up by a parade, and lots and lots of little kids with whistles going TWEEEEEE TWEE TWEE TWEEEEETWEEEEEE. It was Portugal day. I escaped to Zoots and spent like three hours there just because what else is there to do? Couldn't get back across the street, there was a parade, with big serious floats and traditional Portuguese Euro Beats.

I had a very insular day, I found it hard to have conversations with people. I felt better when I went grocery shopping in Kensington Market. Grocery shopping always always makes me feel better about life, is that weird?


I really love dried pineapple.
