Non-Normal

Life these days is...
...working nearly 24/7 in the polar regions of ABSCBN.
...a constant battle with deadlines, timecodes, and serial numbers
...all about AUDIO/VIDEO. NATSOT included.
...a flurry of nightly vigils, morning fatigue, and costly cab rides home
...having several days bunching up into one looooong day, with few stolen hours of sleep in between.
...hardly being home. arriving and leaving. missing my bed.
...indulging in escapist solitude at the smoking room.
...being with the same people every single gawddang working day.
...loving the same people every single gawddang working (and non-working) day.
...trooping to the nearby Ministop for a nightly supply of coffee, extra joss, and Marlboro Menthols.
...singing ala Fiona, Nina, or Spongecola when the mood arises.
...learning how to sleep while walking.
...learning how to sleep while writing.

Ah, the show. An adventure in itself. In August I'll look back to these moments and wallow. Then it's on to the next adventure. And on and on and on until we're finally there.

I've since realized that non-normal girls like me won't have normal lives. So live with that, Bluey. Resign yourself to a non-normal life. It would probably be much easier that way.
