Got up (late, I was planning on working on my slides in the morning but my phone died and I didn't realize that until after I woke up since I wake up too early every day). Decided to not go climbing (my membership runs out soon anyway and I need to call and see if they're doing a student summer deal again. Went to a professor's wedding shower that the department was holding. That was nice. Food was good and it meant I did most of my work socialization for the day. Finished my presentation, sat through 3 hours of presentations and then did mine. It was pretty bad but I don't really care.
Rushed over to the park so I could make a 20 minute appearance at the department picnic before meeting up with people from church to go to dinner and a blues concert. Did my rounds, had a root beer and some (real indonesian!) satay and then off I went to the church. Could've stayed a bit longer since everyone else was late, but that's beside the point. We went to a Laotian restaurant which we thought was next door to the venue but actually was attached to the venue (which was really convenient for us since we could eat during the show). Listened to the music and eventually got up and danced (poorly, but energetically). Carpooled back to the church and rode home in the drizzle, which was actually pretty nice.
I'm really glad that I went to the concert. I wasn't sure when I decided to commit to it but it was really fun. Plus I got to get to know better some people that I only sort of know and some that I barely know. Sure I didn't know any of the songs so singing along was a bit hard and we were by far the youngest group there but hey, don't need that to cut up the dance floor. Which I did because why not. Also we might do karaoke night, so hopefully that goes somewhere because I love karaoke.
I think all the socializing today has mostly kept the dysthymia at bay. Probably because it was mostly low key and with lots of escape points, which are. Plus I like music (the word is now out that I have made music in the past, so I'll let that rumor spread for a while and see if anyone finds it. Not that it's hidden) and that's a distraction from all the people when I need it. So I still feel decent even now. We'll see how tomorrow goes.
Also, it is Kierkegaard Day. So I changed my profile picture (as is tradition) and posted a cryptic "210" status. Which had one friend text me asking if I got hacked and more worringly, has multiple likes. Why would anyone like a no context "210" is beyond me.
