I just got in from L.A. This is gonna be short because I need to unpack, unwind, and get to bed.
L.A. and Disney was... wow. The people were amazing, the park was awesome, and the after party was a fucking blast. I abused my body terribly, but it was all totally worth it. Man, I had the best time I've had in a very...

Thanks for everyone's kind words regarding my grandmother's passing. Some of them really meant a lot, even if I didn't reply.
I'm doing a little better. But when I actually put it in the front of my mind and think about it, I start to cry, so I have to shove the thought away. Eventually I'll have to really face it. But I don't want...

I lost my uncle this past year, it's heartbreaking.

About two months ago, my grandma went in to have surgery, because she had rectal cancer. Everyone was assured that it was a routine, easy surgery. We were told after the surgery that she had no other cancer in her body. I scraped together all of my money to fly and see her during recovery. She looked good.
Late last night she died. She was...

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother passing. I'm sending you good thoughts.
evillyn:
I'm so sorry. 
The Diagnoses:
1.) I'm slightly anemic. I have to take iron supplements my whole life, and greatly increase my red meat intake (so, from none to a lot).
2.) My tonsils are infected.
3.) I have a nasty sinus infection.
4.) I go under the knife for a tonsillectomy Nov. 11.
The Drugs:
1.) Enough antibiotics to last me for a month. And I have...

tonsillectomies are not that bad, surgically - pretty simple. they are, however, very painful to recover from as an adult. I had my tonsils removed as an infant, I'm sure it sucked then too, but I don't remember a thing. guess I am lucky in that respect.
the anemia is a tough break, especialy with all else that you have going on. I'm sorry to hear all that and sincerely wish you the best. good luck and keep us posted - and if you need anything, lemme know and I'll jump a cross-country flight and be there in 6-8 hours depending on layovers...

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother, dearie.
Time for another post-zoo update 
For those of you who don't know, I volunteer at the zoo on Sundays. Today was my third week, and I'm getting more and more contact with the animals! Last Sunday I made a post with some links to some of the animals I work with, and it's time for another.

Oh that's awesome! I would love to do something like that if I lived closer to somewhere that something like that was offered. Although my parents have a zoo in their house so I guess I could just visit them more often

i'm glad to hear you've found a heartwarming stress relief.

1.) I feel very mortal today.
2.) I'm so fucking lonely I feel like I'm going to fucking die.
Lovely day, huh?

i think you are not alone.
i was so excited to be single again for like......2 months or more.
then one night, boom! i'm so fucking lonely i'd ask a crackhead for a hug.
i took a bath. didn't help. walked the dog. nope. cleaned. worse. drank. worst idea ever.
just hang in there i guess. at some point someone will come along and sweep you up, and then 6 months into it you'll be wishing you were single again.
cosmic irony.
but loneliness is the fucking best thing in the world for creativity. and your relationships with your friends gets better, too.
i'll stop rambling now.
good luck

Hang in there things will get better!

How many people can say they've had a tamandua lick their fingers? Or had a night monkey about a foot from their face, just watching intently? Or how about a sloth directly over head, waiting for you to give it dinner?
I love volunteering at the zoo!

You had a sloth over your head and you fed it?
I am so envious. I love sloths.

I have a friend at the fire station who works as an EMT there.
I hope your not mad at me. Every time I see you on line I IM you and you never respond. That, or your not around your computer.

Be warned: I'm going to sound like a crybaby. Also be warned: I don't give a fuck.
I feel like none of my "friends" like me anymore. People who used to come over to my place and watch TV and just chill... don't anymore. People who used to invite me over for movies, or out for food, don't anymore. People who used to love coming...

Change can be good. There are a lot of people that will be friends for awhile because it suits their purpose. Not meaning to be too much of a cynic, but that ends up being the case. Your real friends will be with you forever, wherever you go. You should go somewhere else. Life should be about living not existing.
grandillusion:
For whatever its worth...i think friends are overated!
I'm going to steal Elise's and Flick's kitties. Cuteness overload.
In other news, I almost burned down my apartment last night. I got home from volunteering at the zoo and preheated the oven. Forgetting that I had a huge plastic bowl with leftover popcorn in there so that my cats wouldn't eat it. I was on the phone with EricAllen when I opened...

if you steal those kitties plus your kitties PLUS yourself there, that apartment will officially violate public statute and zoning laws for overwhelming cuteness quotient!
I'm glad you're ok and the kitties too!
that sucks about the oven though.
but I'm REALLY REALLY glad you're ok.

it is TIME to STOP now, mac!
There's something wrong with me.
You know, no one's ever been in love with me? No, honestly, I've fallen head over heels in love several times, and not one of them fell in love back...
Sometimes I wish I could disappear.

Sometimes it's falling in love with yourself first that helps. At least for me when I'm feeling most confident and secure is when things usually go well.
justcraig:
I have suuuuch a hard time believing that.
Wow.
Oh my god.
IT'S SO DIFFERENT!! I think I'm getting used to it after playing with it for a little bit, but.... wow.
And now I have three favorite girls!!!! Yay!
And... wow.
