stop the numbing

[lilamp]

i've been numbing myself out too much for too long. too much television. too much alcohol. too much AVOIDANCE. i need intellectual and creative stimulation. i need to use my brain. i need to engage in conversations with people about interesting things. i need to read my massive backlog of books. now that the power of pharmaceuticals has brought me emotional stability, i need to get around to kicking my ass out of this trench of numbness i've dug for myself... i think i should get out and see/talk to more people more often. and stop turning on the television. i should read and write and listen to music...

thankfully, a couple nights of excessive sleep seems to have cured my cold.
