Anyway you choose to give it.

Amazingly enough, performing regimental guard duty turned out to be pretty awesome. It's always cool to discover that there still are people/that I still retain the ability to engage in nonsensical talk punctuated by hysterical laughter and wild gesticulating with while on long walks in the middle of the night-which, by the way really is the best kind of long walk to have with people.

It's been sometime since I last had the impression that I was vaguely personable and it's pleasant to realise that not all is terrible and bleak in an otherwise rather dreary life.

So yes, currently life is pretty good.
