vastad

that isn't cool! hehe

figures. convince her you're worth a side trip to reading.

you ARE spring baybee.

things in life are going well for the moment. i am just enjoying all it gives me. i don't want to taint these moments of joy.

i am glad to hear that you have begun the blossoming. you are heading into something amazing munir. i know it.

i remember linda. that brings back memories of when we first met here.. the wonderful journal entries of your sweet, mad crush . you are a love, i can't see how anyone wouldn't open their arms to you, over and over.


i am so glad you are back on SG, i missed you sooo much. you are part of my SG world. stay with me, play with me!!!


much lovins seXXXy boy

I think you wrote your Journal wrong. You're supposed to complain about a bunch of things, like traffic and school and money. Don't you see the other Journals?

But I think I might like this kind better.

I thought you'd remember, we discussed eye surgery... unless (now you're making me think I'm forgetting) it was someone else. I just feel like nothing's perfect-- glasses, contacts, and now this... but this is a lot less hassle. My vision's fluctuating still, as in details at long distance... but I'm still glad I got it done. If my vision weakens a bit (and the doctors say everyone needs reading glasses eventually) I'd just get some glasses for odd moments when I cared about details (movies, shows, stuff like that) and feel fine about it.

I never did answer your question from before! Tell you what, here's a realization I've had lately, call it an epiphany of sorts-- I have become way more of a loner than I ever thought I'd be, by default at first... but I think it's surprisingly good. I'm able to fill time pretty handily when nobody else is around. Being a loner is not about disliking people; you can also observe the world very closely, learn a lot, and experience things sharply, alone. (Well, maybe this is all obvious...)

I'm so glad that you aren't grey anymore!! It's so good to see you back.

Wowie!! New digs (which sound absolutely amazing!), new travels, new vision! Yay for you! Isn't life amazing. I'm totally in love with it lately. *glows*

I can't wait to see your webspace. I think that I need to start building a virtual home of my own as well. The Boy and I keep mulling it over anyway, so it could happen, perhaps . . . maybe.

We will definitely stay in touch! I'll hook ya up with my contact info before 7/5 for sure.

Oh yes . . . I have seen the Junko toys. They have them at the "alternative" media store across the street from Powell's. But alas, I am unemployed, so there are to be no Junko toys for me. Sigh . . . must. get. job. so. i. can. buy. Junko toys!!!

Good luck with it all !!!

liza rocked in cabaret, though - gotta give her that.

I don't speak any French even though I should be learning some. Schlumberger is sending me to France in April for schooling. I'll get to spend a month there. The school is located in a small town outside Paris named Melun. Ever heard of it? Actually it's more like half an hour outside Paris.

Geeze Vastad, I just don't know if I can respond to everything you wrote me. You out-do yourself every time.

I read that article about NEWater. It's pretty interesting.

I now understand what you meant about the WMD thing. Yes, bio-weapons are certainly classified as WMD's.

It's not impossible to answer my question about God. Just tell me yes or no. I say no. It's easy for me. Just kidding. It's impossible to comprehend anything about that topic. I have beliefs just like everyone else. Mine are usually a little different from the rest. I don't believe but I believe in at least something. The Universe it'self is my God I guess. Until we find out what is beyond that, it willl be my God.

I like the other link you provided me. All that theoretical mumbo-jumbo can be cool ut usually it is just too much for me. I prefer to keep things simple. I like yes or no questions, not stochastic calculus.

Well, now it looks like I'll be going offshore on Friday. I'm not sure if I'll ever get to go. It would be nice though. I could always use some extra money. I'm gonna try to take pics. Maybe I'll get some pics of us in action on the rig floor. That would be sweet!

Talk to you later.

I don't have any set religious, or atheist, belief. To me, the world seems pretty godless... I don't mean that life is bad all of the time. I just never feel like I'm seeing a direct intervention or message from a deity. Things seems pretty random and chaotic, although funny coincidences come up from time to time. That's pretty much the extent of "Things I Am Sure Of," which is to say-- naught.

I'm still trying to think of (nonreligious) epiphanies of childhood. The one I have is really not worth mentioning... really... when I was watching the Chicago Bears the year before they won the Super Bowl, I realized 1) they were really good, 2) it was mostly because of the defense, 3) they would win the Super Bowl soon because of this.
I know, it's not very personal...

hi-ho!

I sincerely hope that you are feeling ever so much better. Being ill in such a drain on body, spirit and brain. *sending uplift thoughts across the hemispheres~dootdootdootdoooootdoot*

Junkers Juno! Teehee! It makes me think of something out of Cowboy Bebop. A space ship repo firm or parts yard. I may have to save that name for my own scifi story.

You have called my bluff. I am more gregarious in the company of friends and beloved, but it takes awhile before those comfort levels are established. (I have a wickedly sarcastic sense of odd-ballish humor. )

My family is all "born again" fundamentalists, so my dad has been asking when I'm off to see The Passion. Hmmmmm . . . I think I will wait for the video. Maybe. It's not like I haven't read the book. Poor family . . . deathly afraid that their wayward daughter is going to hell. Sigh . . .

Congratulations on the eye surgery. I would love to be able to see without little bits of plastic in my eyes. Blessings and safety to you on the day and a speedy recovery afterwards.

*hugs, well wishes and big stari squishes*

Edited because I can't spell fundamentalists.

Cheers for the email! I'll have a good check through that when I finish work. By the looks of it I should be able to get it all set up without any problems. Speak to you soon

aww crap....sick sucks hope you feel better!

and lots of fluids!
maybe you're better now, since it's sunday-- hopefully.

The easy rules for haiku are 3 lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables respectively. Traditional japanese haiku have a reference to the season/natural manifestations of the season (i.e. cherry blossoms)/ or just nature--Basho-"frog jumps into pond splash"
To get an idea of what a really good haiku is supposed to be like you have to read a bunch.

My haiku are not really good--they're rule breaking haiku! they're not verey enlightened or naturalistic.

I'm looking for the andre norton/mercedes lacky book- I know it's here somewhere!

Feel better!

What a coincidence! That's awesome. I had really good grades in college. When they came to my school they noticed me and asked if I would be interested in interviewing with the company. Here I am today working for them.

You are studying some really interesting stuff. I had to work on some basic A.I. stuff in college. I don't know about you but I think all that A.I. stuff could eventually lead to our demise.
