Exhaustion

I'm just coming down from one of the best weekends ever. It was so incredibly busy.

David and I had this conversation recently wherein I told him that at any point now one of two things is going to happen. Either a) I'm going to collapse from exhaustion, or b) everyone will stop hanging out with me because I'll be so grumpy from exhaustion.

I worked all day Friday and then Friday night I partied with Jason & Brigette, Kenneth, Vidya, Candace, Craig, Ryan, Kim, Jerry, Jet, and Jed. And by "partied" I totally mean hanging at J & Brig's for D&D and then hitting the Barnes & Noble (or was it Borders?) for the Harry Potter release party with Ryan, Jason of Brigette, and Vidya. Oh, and there were nuggets. I got home sometime after 2 or 3 (I honestly don't remember.)

Then on Saturday I got up at the butt-ass crack of dawn to go back to work all day. After work I went home to shower and then drove to Jason's (not Jason of Brigette...the other Jason) and picked him up and we went to Jet & Jed's to party Buffy style with Ryan, Jason & Brigette, and Anthony. After that party (at around 2ish, I think) Jason and I left and I spent the night at his place.

Sunday I got up at Jason's and got ready for work and then worked yet another full day. Once I got off work I drove back to Jet & Jed's and we then went to the Plano Studio Movie Grill to hook up with Ryan, Anthony, and David to see "Willy Wonka". After the movie I ended up at Jet & Jed's yet again.

This morning Jet, Jed, & I woke up and we drove Jet to work and then Jed and I spent most of the day at Six Flags riding KICK ASS roller coasters. At around 3:30 or so we went back to Jed's and hung out for a couple of hours waiting for Jet and Ryan and then the four of us went back to Six Flags for more roller coaster goodness. Once we closed down the park we hit Chili's for salads and fluids and then the four of us went back to Jet & Jed's where we hung for a few more hours.

And now I'm home. And I'm freaking exhausted. Today was, I do believe, the best day I've had since moving to Dallas. It was so awesome. I had a great time today - starting with the time Jed and I spent together this morning - and ending with the time Ryan and I spend together this evening.

This group of people is so special and I feel as though I've seriously stumbled upon situations that I've been waiting my whole life to experience. The last two months have been some of the most tumultuous of my life and yet also some of the most exhilarating. Jet and I started a dialogue this evening that really excites me. I don't know what it is about her but I just feel like I can open up to her and talk about anything.

I feel more free right now than I ever have before. It has nothing to do with anything except for the fact that I feel that I am finally figuring out what it is that I want from this life. I think lots of people figure it out way before I did but I'm just grateful for the opportunity to get to know me well enough to be able to finally start understanding what some of my desires and inner conflictions mean.

But now I'm freaking exhausted and I must sleep. I look forward to exploring the me that I hope to become...but not until tomorrow. 'Cuz today I'm sleepy.

Oh, and in further BEST WEEKEND EVER news, Anthony is going to take me to Oklahoma in a couple of weeks to see Jack. Since my car is shit I haven't been back since May and I haven't seen Jack since mid-June. I'm so excited!!
