The earth is not a cold dead place

Mboy posted yesterday and said that everyone was in a depressed mood recently. I read that and thought- I have actually been in a really good mood recently. I went to my company xmas party Friday, and played piano while others sang. I really enjoy this. I am not a good piano player, by any normal definition. I have bad fingering and technique. However, I am good at "fake music"-- I seem to have a knack for improvising and interpolating chords to create a rich accompaniment, especially when others sing (so I can relax on playing the melody lines). So it was a lot of fun!

Saturday, I spent a lot of time with my mom, which was fun, and hung out with friends last night.

Today, I started the day alone at Starbucks working on work stuff. Then I went christmas shopping with one of my good friends. When we were finished, he had to eat with his parents, and I probably needed to do more work. So I went back to starbucks. For some reason, when I got to starbucks, my mood shifted strongly. On the way there I had been thinking about my dad, which depressed me. Then I listened to my voice mail and heard messages from my friends a few nights prior that were trying to get me to go to a party at midnight.

All in all, I found myself very depressed. This of course after I responded to mboy saying things were really well! I don't know, I guess christmas shopping just for one person (my mom) made me lonely.

Although, only two days of work until I am off for a week and a half!! I cannot wait until new years.

Much Love,
Steve
