Tonight, Laurel abducted me after having a crappy day at work. She took me back to her place, made pizza, and made me to eat it.
I wasn't in a position to say no.
Previously in the day, I decided that I would take Miriam out to the nearby park I love so much (I'll get pictures on day) and get some reading and writing done (and actually ended up getting my Math Test done, too, so there's the arithmetic). This was done mostly because it was so pretty outside today, and I've been so wrapped in gloom lately that I'd forgotten what I think most everyone forgets: the world is beautiful.
Getting out of my room, onto my bike, out in the sun, and being honestly, creatively productive was probably the best thing I've done all year.
After dinner at Laurel's, we decided to pull out one of her DVDs and watch a movie, but we couldn't decide on which. I was just about to grab "Love Actually" (which I really like, and have wanted to watch lately) when she asked if I'd ever seen "Saved." I said no, but I'd been told I should see it. So we watched that.
I loved it.
It actually made me think of Rachel, not for the content of the movie, but because the situation reminded me of how I'd ended up watching "Dogma."
Mind, much like "Dogma" I had a few quibbles with "Saved," but I loved it. It's now on my Amazon.com wishlist.
Today was possibly the best day I've had since getting back from Home over Christmas.
And because of thins, I'm going to try and renew my efforts to get up earlier in the day. I've been meaning to get up early so I can get showered and dressed and make it to Morning Mass every day before classes, but I haven't been able to wake that early. Since Laurel needs to be up for work anyways, she's going to give me wake-up calls. And I really think this will make me happier, both because I'll be getting up and riding my bike daily, and because I think getting back in touch with spiritual reality will be a good thing for me.
So, yes, a good day indeed.
