Maybe if they were 12 or something. 10 is just a tad bit too young. 
Ok, I'll plan a trip to Portland so everyone can come visit ya. That would be a fun trip.

visit with e
just saw my friend e off to the train station. it was a brief but good visit. we only got to see h's last dragon boat race in which they didn't do so well. had an unfortunate argument with my friend j. tell me, if you knew something bad that your friend would want to know, would you tell them even if you thought it...

And let me remind you, I'll still be here long after the sailors have shipped out and e has returned home.

how were the boat races ?

so, people who complain all the time really bug me, but dammit, i am so miserable. i have a very small circle of friends that i've had since high school. we all made our way out here from georgia and have gone through varying degrees of closeness, but currently, they are all ignoring me. they don't call, they don't respond to my emails or messages,...

That sounds at least a little familiar. I think i tend to be pretty demanding of my friends, so i get frustrated with them sometimes too. Feeling left out is rough. I'm one of the only singles in my inner circle too, which doesn't help.
I keep wanting to respond about Atlanta. I think Atlanta is a good city if you end up in the right place (read: intown). I can't imagine how different it must be from Portland though. I think there are good people here, and enough interesting areas and things going on to keep things interesting. Atlanta is kind of a big small town.
I'd say one of the worse things about the city is no decent public transportation to speak of. But if you live and work intown, you don't have to worry about spending two hours in your car everyday like some people.
Hope things start looking up for you soon. Don't settle for less than you deserve.

PS I really dig that ginko tattoo.
i am so out of shape it's gross. working out is not a whole lot of fun for me because i never see any results. mind you, i trained for and completed a triathlon last summer which was a remarkable achievement for me, but all that training made no visible impact on my body. i think i'm going to have to stop eating cheese. i'm...

Don't kid yourself; you're gorgeous, and you've got a great body.
hugegeek:
... and you should be an SG.
so one of the perks of my job is that i can picture everybody i see dead. dead and lifeless and missed by their family. walking their dog in the park, eating outside at a restaurant, sitting on the stoop talking to friends; i can see them dead on a gurney. wearing nothing but a gown that snaps up the sides, sometimes bedsores, sometimes catheters,...

I once thought about taking up Forensic Psychology.. Haven't seen or read of anyone have a degree in Forensic Anthropology. That's rather interesting though, I'll have to read up on it and see what it's all about. =)
switters:
Maybe you can change the way you look at the live people. think of them still enjoying life, not contemplating death. I can see why working with dead people would be depressing tho.
i just want everyone to know what a fantastic dinner i'm making:
roasted leg of lamb seasoned with thyme, garllic, sesame seeds, salt and pepper
baby green bean and grape tomato salad with garlic red wine vinagrette
fresh baked bread with blue cheese.
all this and i'm eating alone.
i don't know what else to post with my fantastic new camera. i need to take...

Dear Beatrice
Your cuteness knows no bounds
Can you tell me something? What's to do with an MA? We bust our butts, & for what? To envy the power of PhD friends? Well I'm breakin out of the mold sister.
Just a random journal driveby

Thank you for your knid words. 
We didn't have any kids, or a house, or much of anything, so it's pretty straightforward divorce. We're waiting for an appoinment for an arbitrator to see how to split up our belongings and stuff. She already got half my money. But it will soon be over.
Yeah, I'll have to start working on my next set. If I could only find someone to take the pictures.

Heya I've just got a few things to say while I'm SG surfing...
1) Nice pics form the new camera.
2) Your profession of eye-poker-outer sound more fun than mine.
3) The muppets rock.
4) Have a great day!

I'm starting to draw it up right now. Oh man. This is going to rock. Just in time for summer too. Plus I was thinking about a Peter Pan on my shoulder. Would that be as manly as a skull? I think so.
