things I should have noticed yesterday:
because, like, there is only one thing that gets me started writing the kind of overblown friends-locked pairing meta I was spewing yesterday;
I HAVE DELIRIOUS FLU!
Hot, facepalming joy! I thought I was just dehydrated and crazy, because I'd forgotten this was possible - I haven't been properly sick since 2007 (this is a yardstick for how isolated I've been for most of that time). M has the exact same thing, but he gets sick fairly often and has hitherto always failed to pass it on to me.
I can't afford to not go to work, so there has been much sniffling on people and inexplicable cheerfulness. (I don't think I babbled any pairing meta at anyone...yet. I did write some notes for that scene, but I can't read them because they're written in incredibly bad Oha.) After work I spent a couple of hours with the nomad (no really, he calls himself that, he's lived in liek all 48 contiguous states or something); he asked me to come poke in second-hand shops with him, and I came home with the second best shirt ever (I got the best shirt ever in the Monsoon sale ages ago, and the second best one is roughly the same weight and colour but otherwise fairly different and it cost liek 4x less) and a copy of The Spirits Within (I told you I was delirious); we talked about life and eurometal and the emotional unpredictability of writing stuff (he does songs), and I was reminded that other human beings exist and that some of them are really kinda wonderful. Also I probably gave him delirious flu.
