Manic

The meds are finally settling in after a few out-of-control days. And the stupid thing? I didn't cut out the caffeine, so I've been exhibiting actual manic traits. Example: Hooking up with a hot guy at work. Literally, at work in the parking garage. He's a friend and we get on very well but that was risky and stupid. Also, I dragged cute delivery guy in the stairwell to make out (not on the same day). Add in the glass throwing, the insomnia, the practically kicking my friends out, and the random FB chat sex (sort of) and you have a classic case of manic behavior. My hypomanic states are apparently severely affected by caffeine, so that may be an addiction I'll need to learn to control.

Luckily, I feel a bit more normal today and I can actually get things done. Like organising finances and cleaning the house. Also, Bentley hasn't suffered a bit from all the extra energy I've had lately. He's all over the place with the extra love and attention. In fact, I've been wearing him out! Poor thing...

The online dating thing? It's...going. I have another date tonight. It should be interesting seeing as how this guy is bit...well, let's just say interesting. He is the complete opposite of the type of guy I usually attract and am interested in getting to know. And thanks to a couple of Pajibans (Lwae and Peanuts), I've discovered that he may, in fact, be a douche. I guess I'm blind to douche like behavior when I'm trying to keep an open mind. But what gave me pause was when this guy asked me to come up with 100 questions to ask him. He would be doing the same. WTF? When I asked why, he says that it will be something like an interview. Yeah, that sounds fun. This is his way of filtering out the bullshit and making sure I'm not lying or anything. Yeeeeeah...

Needless to say, I'm not really looking forward to it. But it will be nice to meet someone new and to shake off a few inhibitions today. Plus, it could be a really great story to tell. So, I'll try to be more enthusiastic.

What I really want to do? Go home, cook something awesome, curl up with Bentley and Mohawk* and watch a movie. Sad, but true...

I'll let you guys know what happens...

* Yes, Mohawk is still just a friend but sometimes I like having him around. It sucks that he lives far away now. Before, I used to call him and he'd be over in 10 minutes. Plus, he always eats what I cook even when I think it sucks and he's always down to watch a movie...
