i had learned yesterday that my father is filing for a divorce. it seems that this should be an emotional time for me but through the months of therapy and years of coming to terms with the fact they aren't in love anymore has prepared me for this moment. i attempted to talk to my father about it (he hasn't yet spoken to my mother),...

I'm still going to admit that banks suck, atleast most banks. But mine fucking rocks. I went in first thing after they opened yesterday morning. I walked up to the clerk, ready to cry if the situation called for it. I told him I needed to speak to someone about some overdraft fees in my checking account. He then directed me into one of those...

auntfalcon:

so why is it that banks like to take money from poor people? we don't have a lot of money to begin with, so why not take it from your more wealthy customers? huh? my landlord cashed my rent check earlier than usual so i owe my stupid bank over a hundred bucks in overdraft fees. isn't that just a tad over the top? thats...

Hello My Friend
Just back from a month away from SG. You
know, say what you want about this place, but
it so nice to return to so many civil people, who
are here to love beauty and care for one another. I think that might be as close to civilization in a world controlled by those banks
your were talking about. That stuff will put me
into a complete rage, and I just offered to edit
a monthly reader for our college library so that
people can read articles by the folks who know
this stuff, and write about it, the best. It's another brilliant entirely depressing thing to do.
I know. Fly to the Bay Area right away, and we
will get milk shakes, and make it to the beach for sunset, then we will go light samba dancing until the breezes carry us completely away...
Oh, you already have a date? Never mind,
love you anyway, Drago

wow i am way lame.
wow i am way lame.
i hate those weekends when all your friends are busy and your not. i also hate it when you wake up at four a.m. attempting to cough out all that phlem thats been sitting in your lungs for weeks.
on the flip side.
i love peanut butter toast. and i love having some time to myself to catch up reading and writing.

elephant ears must be an east coast thing, but they had them at the festival. its a fried layer of dough sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. i don't know why they call them that but they were a lot better to my tummy when it was 10.
daft69996:
Ahh! I have known your infamous elephant ears, which I'm told is a southern thing, by the name of "funnel cake" here in NYC.
For a minute I thought there was a lot of elephants watching reservoir dogs, cringing any time they heard stuck in the middle with you.

I miss rafting on the John Day and the Snake, going ot be back home soon Enjoy the concert, take pictures!so miss. amazing here cut her hand open at work yesterday morning. Two not good facts to know: 1) I have never really injured myself, broken anything, or seen that much blood in my life and 2) I was by myself when it happened. So I freaked out. I was using a sharp tool to take some stitching out of a heavy duty horse blanket...

Glad see that it was not to bad. Be careful around tools at work .

oy...i know how that goes, im very accident prone.
Food not Bombs crew used the potatos I was gonna use for house dinner tomorrow night. This means I have to go back to the grocery store. This isn't a big deal, just a slight annoyance.
I'm feeling very melancholy today. I don't know what to do with myself but I'm okay with that.

Sometimes being charitable can be a hassle, BUT... It's all for the good of the country, right?
Sorry to hear your feeling blue...perhaps a cruise on that orange machine of yours will do the trick? Nothing like a good adrenaline rush to pull you out of a funk....

Ugh. You're my new crush.
I had a great fucking weekend. It was so productive and eventful. I played hooky on friday and went rafting with my love on such an amazing river. We met some kayaking friends and went down the river with them. I love boating with kayakers. Esspecially geeky ones that are 40 and are still doing crazy shit. On Saturday I was able to replace the...

*shakes head* you should be my friend- I buy my friends beer and make them yummy food. Wow, that sound slightly creepy. *stares at feet* OK, I'm gonna go now...
I don't know why work was so horrible today. Every piece of fabric I thouched seem to be unhappy with me. I hate those kinds of days.
But, on the upside. I went to a BBQ unexpectedly tonight. A good friend stopped into work to let me know. I absolutely LOVE BBQ's. It was great. I love meeting new people in this new place i'm...

Nice leaves! I like the autumnal one a lot. lot lot. hee.

Hey Cora
Drago here.
I got your email, which was great.
Would you think about checking
me as a friend, because I think
I am,
but the practical reason is then
they send your new journals to
my site, and mine to yours,
and it's easy to stay in touch.
thanks, and I know what you
mean about Portland. You must
come visit San Francisco soon, too.
A whole new world wants to
dance with you now! That's good.
But cut them to one dance
until they show you even more.
Include me in that too, only fair
