So, I've taken to long walks with Ippy, my Ipod. In the interest of science (and an apparent OCD disorder) I write down the first 5 to 10 songs Ippy plays in order to glean some insight into my own mental state. I clearly need to be medicated, but here's some playlists from the past to weeks.

Sorry Mnementh... 
As for the good thoughts, they must be working. I'm feel well rested and I'm in a great mood.

i love them finger puppets!!!!!
So, woke up yesterday to bad dreams. One where I was being chased so I was trying to run away and hide. And one where I was in school, but I couldn't remember anything and felt lost and alone.
I've had both kinds of dreams before, but not like these. I think perhaps they mean something.

My dad is still on my mums dressing table...5 years on.
Even though we had a really up and down relationship i still find myself thinking ' i must tell my dad about that' when something happens that he would have appreciated.
And sometimes i wish i had somewhere to go where he 'was' so that i could tell him. [ dropping round to my mum's to have a chat with my dad would make me feel silly, even though my mum would understand, but just having to explain what i was doing would make me not do it]
*deleted a load of stuff *

I liked Northfork. Any movie with a hermaphrodite angel is ok by me. 
So, Trixel is gone back to Canada and I won't see her again for a month.
My work situation will be changing somewhat drastically tomorrow.
The last two weeks were ridiculously stressful in terms of getting the family properly synced to our wedding plans.
And grief still sucks.
And yet, I think this particular wave has passed. I'm feeling a little hopeful about things. Ippy,...

I miss Ippy. Oh, and I miss you as well. 
So, Trixel is in town, just in time to see me go all quasi-hysterical about nearly every facet of my life right now. She is a lucky woman.
In other news, my sister flew us to Portland for Easter to be with family. That was nice, though too short a visit. Nice town.

I hope that the two of you have a lovely time! 
sexybeast:
I really hope you two can make it out tomorrow night.... I'm assuming you know that I'm having a party. If you didn't know, there is a thread about it in SGLA.
So, I'm back from Kauai, after spending 8 days with my mum. We're both doing ok and keeping each other moving forward with lots of travel planned. In addition, I ordered her a new Dell laptop and put in an order for cable internet. (My folks had been using the eMachine my sister and I got them 6 years-ago. With dial-up.) It will be a...

I am so sorry. A very genteel man he looked to be.
arachnequarius:
still thinking of you all. ♥
So, I went to Kauai for four days last week to visit my Pop. He was in the ICU. My sister came from Seattle as well. We essentially said goodbye. This week he's been more out of it and my Mum and the doctors finally decided to move him to another room to make him more comfortable. He doesn't have much time left.

Keep strong man. Ill say a pray for you and yours.
trixel:
I love you. I think I may have said that already.
So, the last two weeks have had my head spinning for two main reasons I shall divulge here:
1. My father's health has gone from not-so-good, to bad, to worse, to ICU.
2. I got engaged to 730A_trixel_fem at Disneyland.
Yeah, yesterday was quite the emotional rollar-coaster. The morning was spent in tears. My Pop head taken a bad turn and was being moved to...

Hey bud, it seems silly to me that I didnt request your friendship earlier.
Best wishes to the family and major congrats on the announcement! Disneyland is a wonderful place for such things.

So, Trixel will be here tomorrow...my place is a mess, I have a ton of work to do...and I'm not wearing pants. Not sure that last thing has anything to do with anything, but I'm a little scattered.

So, this week I was told of a deeply sad state of affairs within my family. This news in turn, ricocheted off a separate state of affairs (this one good) that was brewing and propelled it forward much faster than expected. I'm a little spun.
How's that for being coy? I'll offer details eventually.

I was joking about marrying Tide. He's too clean for me.

so, I'm in the kitchen this morning, thinking about The Brood, and slowly realizing just how creepy the movie was... and then this power drill goes off super loud near my door. I almost peed myself.
So, went to an Oscar party. My friend Mike always has a big shindig at his place, but it got to be too big for his place, so this year he rented out a restaurant called Sebastian's in Toluca Lake. Lots of big TV's and alcoves and such. Cool place.
