stressssssmonster!

i tend to internalize things - so whenever i'm stressed, despite the impression my outward personality gives off, i tend to keep it all inside. inevitably i'll get to the point where i explode - but usually after some lengthy provocation.

i'm getting a sore throat today, and i'm fairly sure it's because of one of the following:

• too little sleep
• too much stress
• a fervent need to keep reading my book until i'm DONE... as it's 726 pages, it's a tall order

so - essentially, i'm fairly sure it's a mixture of the three bullets above. the book i'm reading is the hour i first believed by wally lamb. the first wally lamb book i read was she's come undone and it was as if a light bulb popped when i read that book. first off, i was unable to believe it's written by a dude. whaaa? really? how does he know that's how women really feel about themselves, etc? craziness.

anyhoo - i'm trying to *will* my sore throat away right now as i type this. i need it to go away because tomorrow night i've got tickets to a badass concert ---- dar williams at seattle's famous triple door... yay!
plus, that means i get some yummy eats from wild ginger - a delicious eatery with asian fusion cuisine. yum-o.

the concert starts at 7, so i have t minus 19 hours to start feeling myself again... here's hoping!
