the crystal meth incident

.
i have today off.

yes, you heard me.

an actual day with no work, no classes, no phone calls to clients, no reason not to be stoned *all* day (okay i waited about two hours to waken'bake) and go climbing at my leisure.

so far this day is shaping up pretty well. hubris and i met up at othercat's for brunch and then the three of us are going to go climbing. i'm blogging and listening to mc hawking while hubris naps and othercat gets ready.

poor hubris, he's messy from yesterday night. othercat and i are making lots of fun of him.

this is so cool ... i don't actually have to teach pilates for two and a half days in a ROW ... it's wonderful. of course because i have no outlet for it i'm doing the eye on everyone who walks by me. ahh addiction, got to love it.

i have a pretty cool list of addictions actually
pilates
movement
climbing
chocolate
coffee
breakfast in restaurants
weed
books
excellent beer
dancing
talking out of my ass
musing (:P uncle matt)
irish whiskey
rambling *snerk*
giving advice
couple of tv shows (house, ncis, gilmore girls, er, survivor, charmed)
hanging out with my friends...

you know, good stuff.

i've had some less positive brushes with addiction in fact, there was (for example) the crystal meth incident. yee ouch. i slept something like sixteen hours a day for a couple of weeks on the way out of that almost tragedy.

although the most fun that i've ever had with drugs happened from the sublime combination that is crystal, weed and booze i will tell you that i suggest that you NEVER try it. it's too much fun. i knew i was in trouble when i was taking downers that i'd never heard of to counteract the drugs that i had just done in order to get some sleep.

and still not sleeping.

for days.

it's not a place i reccommend going and i am a very lucky person. i'm lucky because some part of me noticed what was happening and encouraged stopping. lucky me because i was five days a week into a habit less than three months after i first tried the stuff.

it's no wonder that it's decimating the gay community. it's the perfect drug for their lifestyle.
.

so there's been climbing and then hubris and i came back here and ended up ordering sri lankan food. fuck me that is still the best butter chicken ever.

no dudes. i mean ever.

i can eat the sauce with a spoon or dip two entire pieces of naan in the sauce and still want more.

i can be so full that i will barf and if there's any more i will still eat it.

yes, it's that good.

and now we're listening to some xavier rudd and playing tony hawke pro skater four and all is well with the world. it's been so nice not to worry at all about what's happening tomorrow. i don't care if i sleep in tomorrow either. well i do but i really only miss a class with rr, it's not like i get fired.

course i HATE missing those.

but still if i do it costs me twenty bucks and there's no problems. well except i miss an awesome class.
.

climbing today was really cool. when i got to the gym i could hardly move and then as i warmed up it got better and better. an hour later i was climbing my favourite 5.10- and loving it. actually othercat videotaped it and if i'm feeling generous i'll post it (when he sends it to me of course...)

in other words? if i don't suck too much i'll share it with the world. i'm still not that good on a scale of one to the people in the magazines. i'm down around a three. that is not lack of confidence talking either. i climb v1 and people at my gym climb v9 and that's not even counting the people in the wild.

trust me, as climbers go i suck pretty hard.

i might post it anyway, or maybe one of a bouldering problem i didn't finish. it's shorter and stuff.

hell for all i know the whole thing will be blurry and there won't be any point.

*grin*

yes matt/bubbles that means a shoulder shot is coming...

*hee* i'm such a tease.

okay fine, in the meantime...

bubbles these are actually the shrug day... unfortunately most of them didn't turn out.


happy good friday y'all!
