damn! everyone around here seems to be hungover! ouch.......a couple of reds seem to work for me. preferably from margaret river. love their wine!
xo

Also - in the desert. Outback Australia. Swimming in a gorge in the most beautiful place in the world. Floating on my back and looking up at the red rock walls and blue sky.

Wow. Reminds me of this quarry pit we have mud fights at near my home. The pit is spring fed and ice cold. Our prairie skies are probably similar to yours Outback ones: wide open and absolutely clear. Well absolutely clear except for late on a humid summer evening when we have incredible thunderstorms.

Thanks. Lower lip piercing nice...glad to hear its doing better.

yeah, we lived in the P.I. as a kid, which is why i have pacific tendencies. the reason i went to australia was to study japanese, although what i found was that 4 years of american japanese language still did not sufficiently prepare me for the 2nd year language course. ah, well.

thinking about getting the lip done. how is it affecting your teeth?

What are you studying or working at? It sounds wonderful.

i meant to say thanks for your comment of weeks ago! i'm glad you liked the crafty stuff. i want to do more soon, but i need to take a sewing class to get really good.

ohhhh, what great books! how fun.

Wow that's a lot of acronyms. I've recently gone for the darker-and-girlier route myself, no more redheaded Moss! I feel for you on the hair-boredom thing, I'm afraid I won't make it much longer than shoulder-length before I go nuts.
I'm a little jealous of you folks in the South, Fall is my favorite season!

wooohooo! solids!! aren't they the happiest? this weekend i've barely been able to eat, so i've been juicing, and now this morning i feel like i could eat a small country - so long as it was spicy.

the show was absolutely amazing - i could not be more gratified or humbled than i am about it. i will have to process more before i can fully articulate it. i am thrilled. if yr interested, fellow pe'r, when i make copies of the tape i can send you one ... my sister's husband has a vcr that can make tapes that work in any country. (if that is too much, of course, you can say)

can i just tell you that i LOVE acronyms. LOVE them. and those are fabulous.

any pictures of the new hair? i like the old, of course, but new is always exciting. and yes, it is riveting - at least to me. gah - i'm such a drag queen.

heya sprat, have just been looking around for more aussies on the site and found you.. anyways, come check out the SGAU group when you get the chance..

oh, and congrats on becoming and auntie..

catch ya..

Wow, yes indeed, that's a lot of pet names. What an awesome assortment.
I'm sending good-luck and healing vibes your way, though I imagine by now it's a little late! When I got my wisdom teeth out it was just one day of not being able to eat much... the first week I had braces though, I got so sick of ice-cream that I started trying to come up with crafty ways of eating vegetables. Blending a salad, however, is distinctly disgusting.

back. and GAH - what an evil surgery that is. when i had mine done i was allergic to the painkiller they gave me, so i ended up vomiting up the meds/liquids and bursting the stitches -- blood everywhere. gross. it all turned out just fine, of course, but man. hopefully you are feeling better and able to eat some semi-solids. if you eat it cheesecake is kind of soft and easy to eat, but its solid enough to make you feel fed.

good luck with the house hunt!! i love the change of moving -- a new place that is all clean and sparkling -- yay. however, one must find a place of love. which i now see sounds really dirty, but that is not how i meant it. hee.

Awww poor teethies! My girlfriend had all four removed at the same time about a month ago. She didn't get any stiches either. I thought thatb was wierd. Wierder, she had pretty much no pain. Which was good for me because a week later we could play again!

just popped by to say hi. hope yr hands are still happy & that work is going well.

Happy St. Patricks Day!

omg, yr hilarious. and EXACTLY. gah. i should have known when she balked at my growing it out that there was trouble brewing!

in fact after another hair oddessy today i ended up in a different salon where they were so horrified that they practically gave me a wake. i ended up getting about 5 inches of fried hair hacked off. now its kind of purple/dk brown and -- as you said -- geometrical. its cool - kinda shannon sossamyn - but not was i going for. ah, well, colour me punk as all get out. at least i didn't have to shave my head this time.

and did i misspell oddessy? it just looks wrong. hope yr studies are going famously!

edited to add - just saw yr new pics - so cute! you and butch are an absolutely darling couple. i must admit my favorite are the cheerleaders! ye gods, how much did i loooove the cheerleaders at my catholic school. i became one just to be near them.

Wow, a PhD even - what are you getting it in?
Hmm, I've managed precisely one of those things, unless you count stickering bars for porn site advertisement!

heehee - i love the joke!! i've now begun spreading it among those in my dept ... ummm, that makes it sound like a disease - ew.

happy mardi gras indeed!!! yaaaaaay. hope you had a total blast. can't wait to hear about yr fun and adventures.

as for the family meeting - what a fabulous coordinated effort that must have been. how great. one of the few gf i ever introduced to my family ended in nothing less than a showdown btwn she & my mother. *shudder* so glad yr results are ever so much more civil.

until later --

You have the best MG pictures ever! How fun, I'm jealous, I want to go to a G&L Mardi Gras!

Ya know, I tend to find the dancing thing is far more indicative with females. Males, not so much, for them I tend to care more about what their hands and lips are doing than their hips. But definitely, when it comes to girls, bad dancing is as a big deal-breaker.
I gotta agree on the Queer Eye candidacy thing. I would love to be made over in the image of someone fashionable. And since they tend to work on guys, maybe it could turn out as something I could live with as a supreme tomboy.

absolutely hilarious! i told my philo prof the joke, and got a reluctant chuckle. this is a victory, b/c he thinks ps is rather fruity.

for a strictly fun read "The Girls Next Door" is sort of fun. Of course, I am always pushing "The Practice of Everyday Life". "Monster Beauty" is kind of cool.

ok, i must be in nerd overdrive, b/c using the "" instead of underlining is really bugging me. gah.
