party girl... sorta.
so last night i was going to go to a party, then to 506 to see the cure/smiths show, but by the end of the day i was really tanking... my knee really hurt, my arm hurt, and, well, there were cramps. instead of going out i wound up taking pain stuff and falling asleep for three hours.
tonight, d. s. and i went to the yearly company party. s. has been curious about it for some time; i had not been to one in many years, so i figured, what the hell. (that's why i bought the shut up shoes, actually.)
the party was the same as the last one i went to. it was even in the same hotel. it is very large, very crowded. the food is ok as long as you eat meat. i don't know very many people to talk to. the bands are almost all bad, except for the funk band, who wore green sequined jumpsuits and had the moves. the highlight was playing bingo, at least in part because it was a place to sit with a table, handy if you want to eat.
somewhere along the line, my contacts started to really bother me a lot. after a while, i realized that i was probably allergic to something. given that i was wearing makup and crap in my hair, there's really no telling what it was that was causing the problem. as soon as i got home i took the contacts out and washed my face thoroughly. i still don't really feel all that good, the reaction was sort of starting to make me feel all-over sick, not just making my eyes itch. i think i'm going to take a shower and make sure i've really washed everything off.
i've never really known myself to be allergic to much of anything. i've got new-found sympathy for people who do have allergies.
maybe tomorrow i should stay home and avoid contact with anything else that might make me ill or cause me physical pain. i'm a wussie, i've had quite enough for one week.
