Busy day. Ish.
I've been thinking hard about what time I woke up today, but I can't seem to quite grasp it. All I know is that I definitely had my 7am, 11am, 3(ish)pm and 7pm so far today, and that is obviously a good thing.
I went to Poole with Tim today. We hit up Burton's first because it was freezing and I needed a jacket. Since most of my clothes are up in Cornwall and I'm lazy with doing my washing, I currently have a very limited amount of options when choosing what to wear.
First I tried on this ridiculous wool Jonathan Creek-style overcoat that(despite being a size small) proved too big for me, which is lucky, in retrospect. Then I noticed a fake leather bikerish jacket in a nice brown, so I tried it, bought it and wore it. I feel bad about throwing the coat-hanger away.
We went to Paradox to pick up some comics(Tim wanted to get Thunderbolts #110, I wanted to get everything) and I unfortunately did not get to show Andy the site as I am nowhere near finished. The code for putting comics into the database is proving complex and I keep making rookie mistakes, which slow me down. Plus I need to work on the presentation.
Andy also seemed a bit cold to me, which was a shame. Now I'm a bit scared as to what his reaction will be when I do show him the site. I hope he takes it the right way and sees what a powerful tool it is/will be.
We then went to Pizza Express, which tasted great, as usual. I couldn't finish my pizza, though. Guess I had a small-stomach-day.
We hopped over(yes, like gay little sailors) to Waterstones, and talked for a good long while with the best shopworker in the world(besides me). He was, as always, awesome.
On the train back the guard heard us make a remark about the speech software on the train, and he told us that the trains actually ran Windows 98. We had some fun dialogue("At least it's not ME." "At least it's not Vista!") and a fun time was had by all.
We hung out in my funnel web, reading comics 'n' stuff, and Tim was kind enough to realise that I needed my 3pm nap, and said he'd better go home.
I spent the rest of today browsing the net and not working on the Paradox site at all, because I needed a break.
Today has been fantastic. One of my best days in a while. It's amazing that I was able to go out and interact with people without nearly dying from anxiety. I think a large part of that is Tim, who is funny and nice about it, as opposed to other friends of mine who I get uncomfortable around. That sounds gay, but it totally isn't.
To round out the day, I just did something totally cool that no-one will know about until the middle of next week. Awesome!
