I feel empty tonight, just totally void of any sort of passion, sorrow, any sort of emotion. Well, maybe I feel somewhat angry, but it's so minimal an amount that I only notice it if I really think about what I feel. This hasn't been the only time though. It's been the past couple of months actually. I look back on all my old crushes and give myself a mental smack upside the head and tell myself, "What the heck were you thinking!?" I feel like I could survive right now, very happily, never knowing another person, never having a relationship ever again. Sometimes, when I don't feel this way, I do still think about relationships and have to admit that I don't really want one. It's not that I'm afraid of commitment, it's more like I just don't see anything that catches my interest enough to know I could tolerate the person in close proximity for a long period of time.
This apathy is very annoying. First it got in the way of clothes shopping (either clothes these days are just no good, or I just don't see anything that catches my eye), and now it's spreading to my love life.

I'm struggling with periodic apathy myself. Once the week is done, I've completed my weekly problem set, and it's time for the weekend to begin I feel lost. I ended-up climbing campus structures with Shandor and then writing to Eve a longish e-mail in which I argued against free will (she is pretty naive philosophically). I oddly enough felt like drinking tonight (it should be noted to the reader who does not know me that the total number of times on which I drink during a given year is best modeled using a Poisson distribution whose expected value is 3). Yes, that's evidence that I'm lamenting my week of p-theory now being over-with... :)

Hopefully going to sleep early tonight will mean for you a good tomorrow. How odd it is to address in writing a person as she is sleeping! :)
