So this weekend, I went hiking and climbed the highest mountain in Massachusetts. Granted, we're a pretty flat state, but that's still 3000+ feet. And it's fucking February.
Saturday morning, after eating tasty waffles, we drove the two hours out to Pittsfield (on the NY border) and set out around 10 AM. I had three layers of socks, two layers of thermal underwear, fleece pants,...

Wow, um, that sounds like... fun. Actually, honestly, it kind of does. I like shitty adventures. I had a boyfriend once who was all into hiking, and I haven't been since then, and I kind of miss it.
monkboy:
If you were hiking south on the AT, the next mountain bigger than Mount Graylock is in West Virginia. A random AT fact I know. Good luck on the AT. Hike your own hike. Enjoy the PUDs. I miss talking trail. Go to Shaw's, Pie Lady sucks.
*empty update*
My pack for the trail is almost all packed. I'm going on a practice hike with my friend Bill Saturday into Sunday.
Camping in New England in February? Yeah, I'm stupid. So what?
Sunday night the Roxy is having a party for the L Word premiere. Ninedayjane and Sarah (the girl I've been semi-seeing) wanr me to go with them. It might be fun, but...

i like how you describe yrself as "Mostly Straight."
that's brilliant, if i may say so.
You might wanna try being a bit more aggressive next time. maybe that's what she's waiting for?
she might be trying to draw you out.
if that doesnt work, tell her how yr feeling.
that'll most likely work.
Good Luck on the practice hike!!

One minute it's "let's not go out, let's just stay in" and all kissing and touching me. The next "I don't want to give you my cold" and "I have to get up early". There's always am excuse.
Am I wrong, or is she just having a little power trip by working me up to let me down? I mean, she's the one in a...

Tonight, was gonna go out with Sarah.
She called said she'd prefer to "stay in".
This is attempt #3 at breaking my "no sex" streak.
Hey, if the Red Sox can win one, so can I: REVERSE THE CURSE!

Valentine's Day #25 without a Valentine. I'm trying my damnedest to feel pathetic and weepy about it like usual, but the best I can pull off is a mild sarcastic resentment. Sorry to disappoint, Hallmark. Maybe next year throw a few more sharpshooting Cupids and gut-wrenching jewelry commercials at me. But buck up, Hallmark. You'll always have Mother's Day to make me feel guilty again.

A moment of silence for Arthur Miller.
He was one of my favorite writers, right up there with James Joyce, Wilfred Owen, and Yusef Komunyaaka.. By the time I was 15, I had read "The Collected Works of Arthur Miller," twice, including a made-for-TV screenplay that never got made, and some really godawful poetry. He died yesterday at the age of 89.

All I've ever read was "Death of a Salesman", and actually, I'm not sure I even read it, just watched it in some class. Maybe I should read some more of his stuff, eh?

I was talking to my mother today, and I think I was born with this desperate need to prove I'm independent. I don't really like it. It messes a lot of things up, and when it comes down to it, I really really really do need other people, a lot.
The Maine beach sounds wonderful. The Oregon beaches are almost always rainy, or at least sprinkly. That's what I always hope for, light rain, and a little wind. And we have lots of nice cliffs and rocks too. I don't really understand the purpose of a beach like in California. What does it do?
I have no control over when my sets go up. If I did, I would try ever so hard for you. As it is, all we can do is hope a lot. I want them to go up too, of course.

Got a nice email from Sarah. Things are okay, and she wasn't just blowing me off. She told me some more about this big work project, and showed me the webpage for the proposal she's writing up. It sounds pretty cool. She told me she really enjoyed Friday and is excited to see me next week, and suggested Tuesday or Wednesday. So that made me...

jerk. and you doubted me. the sooner you accept that you don't know everything and that I do, the better off you'll be.

It was whiney and pathetic.
"If God moves across the water
Then the girl moves in other ways
And I'm losing sight of either.
Night and fog are my days.
I wanted only to be gentle,
But I gave her jealousy and rage.
Who knows exactly what I'm after?
Night and fog are my days."

Totally oblivious, most likely. That and I put off extremely strong don't-talk-to-me vibes, which I think work better than I would like them to. Maybe I just had my guard down or something. 
The longer I go, and the more I try to change myself into someone I like better, the more I realize that I am exactly the same as I have always been. Things kind of suck like that. I'm sorry you're sad and lonely.

Sarah cancelled our date.
She "has to work late" and will "check her schedule" to see if she can "maybe find some time next week". And so my sexless streak lives on.
Whatever. Who needs fucking when you have Mogwai records and porn.

You changed your name, it totally confused me!
I would also love someone fully clothed in bed with no sex to just lay there with, but that never really works out. People always want more than that, I've found. Which is why I decided I just want friends, because if you have really close friends, sometimes you can have that anyway.
