The phone hates me

In the last 24 hours, I have been woken up by phone calls 3 times. GRRRRR.

In completely unrelated news, I'm probably going to Pagan Faire this Saturday, since both Cecilia Eng and Heather Alexander will be performing (separately). I've never heard Cecilia Eng live before. She's only playing for a 1/2 hour though. Is anyone else going?

I wouldn't go otherwise since it seems to be run by the wom(a|y)n-centric type of feminists who can really set my teeth on edge (I'm all for people being treated equally regardless of sex or gender, I probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to take many of the classes I wanted otherwise, but I find the whole "women are special and need special spaces" part of the feminist movement really insulting and smacking of the Victorian era), but I figure I'll give it a shot since they have good taste in music.

I don't plan to stay for the ritual though, since I have things to do in the evening. Dad's working a booth at the golf show this weekend, but he'll be home for dinner and we have some projects to do.

edit: It's next Saturday (the 22nd). I'll probably still go, but I think dad's busy that weekend. I probably still won't stay for the ritual though just because. I'm not one of those "group religion" people.

restless

I'm having one of those moments when I want to throw some crap in the back of my car and drive until I have no idea where the hell I am, then settle there and start looking for work. I'm frustrated with my life and I can't quite figure out why or what specifically is getting to me.

I haven't been sleeping well for weeks.

RING RING RING

I got woken up by the goddamn phone twice more this morning. The first time I didn't feel motivated enough to run into the other room and answer it (this was a bit before 8) and the second time it was the irritating people who insist on talking to my father, won't explain why, and speak with an east coast urban black accent that I find hard to follow (not to mention having names I have a hard time spelling). They called yesterday too. I told them goddamn yesterday that dad was at work, we are on the Oregon No-Call list so they better not be solicitors and that I am a daytime sleeper. They called back in the middle of the day today anyway. They insist that they are not solicitors, but dad has never heard of them and it sounds like a call center in the background. I'm really tired of this. I need a good night's sleep. I need people to stop calling and waking me up. They always call after I've gotten enough sleep that I'm not tired, but not enough sleep that I am well-rested. If they are solicitors after all this I'm reporting them to the goddamn attorney general. I've had it.
