hey...I see the code name...& if you met me on my birthday you know I don't remember much...no picture up on yours either...but you live with mephausto so I'm sure I'll run into you again & place the face with the name...

Glad to hear that the move worked out. And I'm sorry to hear that the harpies of finance at nipping at your heels so soon. And a burnt finger? Do tell.

Things are chugging along over here. Thankfully, no serious problems, and a smile that is only slightly lopsided.

It was cool speaking to you on the phone. You sounded bored with me, so I thought I'd let you go. Whatever. Looking forward to the weekend........already.

I'm depressed, officially. The last three days I have had to pry myself out of bed and then I spent all day looking forward to 10pm so I could go back to sleep. I'm avoiding my reality, because my reality is very painful right now. I'm in over my head and feeling a bit overwhelmed. I hoping to make it to the weekend to call my parents and ask their advise. That's something I haven't done since high school.

Deary, breathe. The laundry will get down when there is no other choice. Meph is always having a relaxing time in Santa Cruz. Everything will be all right.

Sorry to hear about the dream/nightmare. I can only say you have made your bed.

The trip should take about 2.5 days, as I made it from PDX to MN in that time when returning my ex after I broke up with him. That is a story in and of itself.

Get sleep, finish packing, and if you don't start your journey westward "on time" don't worry, there are no deadlines you're working against. At least not to my knowledge.

Good luck with the journey. If you've never driven cross-country it's something else to watch as the terrain changes.

I think that's why I'm so loathe to go through the stacks of stuff in my closet, storage area, and room. I have no idea what I might find, and most everything has good and bad memories attached. It'd probably take me a year to get through everything if I started today.

heh. I think I want to stand up and yell that at my sister the next time she's here.

Sorry to hear about the lack of closure for your triangle situation.

ARRR! back atcha.

I understand the memory lane stuff. It happened to me on the trip from MN to OR.

Check out my journal! There's a surprise.

Oh, we're not quibbling over labels. Hell we're not even talking about that level of commitment yet. We like what we have together and we really don't want to be without each other. We are going to see how things go, and where it takes us, it takes us.

Happy?

See you soon...

I've seen the Reverend in anti-war speeches and in those....Democratic candidate....things, and I have to say he's the only candidate with any charisma, and makes the most sense when he talks. Pretty weird turn of events.
If I have any consolation on your last few entries it's-- hey man, no work! Sweet!

Hmm. There's some Cash that's decent, I think, though I've never heard a Toby Keith song that didn't make me want to pop an eardrum. RATM never struck me as consistant, though I did adore their cover of "Maggie's Farm." Cash I can pretty much take or leave; he's got an amazing voice, but his lyrics don't really do much for me. When he does covers, though, I rather like him.

re: celebrities, you were lamenting the fact that actors you liked and/or respected were in films you disliked and/or felt were soulless commercial products (specifically Kevin Spacey in Goldmember and Samuel L. Jackson in Attack of the Clones). Doesn't really bother me for some reason. Spacey was, to me, the best thing about Goldmember, and I've avoided all Lucas projects like the plague since The Last Crusade. All artist I enjoy will eventually do something I don't find appealing, so I don't sweat it.

You mentioned Batman for some reason in relation to penguin quotes.

Yeah, I think I know you too.

I'm more a 'kick life in the jimmy' kinda gal, personally.

wait where are you moving too?

He's moving in with Mephausto.

I'm counting the days until you arrive. Sounds like you've got your transition pretty well laid out.

Good luck with the exit interview. I remember mine from November - ah unemployment.... I dressed in full antiquities goth regalia, pale/black make-up and all. I scared the shit out of my 'supervisor,' but the HR woman doing the interview was pretty cool with it. I love being me.

So you're kinda like Sputnipyrat. heh.

The humidity out here is rather bad too. Yesterday there was something akin to a fog at around two in the afternoon. Very, very strange.

Is it just me or it did Thora's nudity kinda undermine what they were trying to do with the scene. Jane didn't believe she was attractive and that she needed larger breasts to be attractive. Ricky saw that her beauty was elsewhere. When he's filming her disrobing he focuses on her face. Had we merely gotten that, I think the scene would've worked better. That we also get a shot of Thora's rather nice...ahem...assets seems to work against the idea that they don't matter. Perhaps I'm reading too much into the scene.

I actually thought that the Spacey cameo was one of the few enjoyable parts of that film. I'm in the minority on that one.

I just write what's in my head, but thank you.

You're a good writer, too.

Neons are total girl cars. I guess that's sexist, but I'm a girl. And I'm not a girly girl, yeah? I would not drive a Neon. No! I'd rather drive a Hummer.

Okay, I'm kidding. I would not be caught dead in a Hummer.

I couldn't make it through your entire post, but I get the general idea.

CONGRATULATIONS! on your move to Portland. I'm excited to meet you. Let me know when you begin the journey westward.

Thanks for the warm wishes re: Miss Tallahassee. And as for my business partner, I had dinner with him last night and got things back on track. I'll keep you and Josh in mind next time though.
