Explaining SG to feminist friends
Anyone else having issues with explaining to your non-SG-aware friends what you're doing when you're spending so much time online? Especially if you're part of one of the regional groups, and thus spend several nights a month going out with people they don't know.
"Uh...I know them from...uhh...work-related endeavors."
It's especially tough for me because several of my friends are...

Wendi and I finally filed the Summary Dissolution papers yesterday, and afterward I was thoroughly drained, both emotionally and physically. They sent us to five different places, each one telling us, "Oh this isn't where you need to go, you need to go to the building over there on the 8th floor." She and I joked about how they make you jump through hoops to...

beanery!
dude I just helped my friends move into their LBC pad last month. i can hijack my dad's van again and help you move your bed and some of the big stuff, as much as I hate driving the van I guess I'll do it for you.
that thing about getting divorced, don't mean to bring up any bad memories but I would think it would be odd to spend that much time with someone you don't want to be with anymore...it's always seemed like a wierd concept to me to still talk to somebody you get a divorce from...

I'm trying to remember what size my friend's bed was...it was either a queen or a full....hmmm well I'll ask her and stuff.
I still don't feel comfortable in Long Beach. I need to get off my ass and get settled in already so I can start being productive again. I've been slacking on exercising my visual creative side. I want to start painting again, but fuck if I can't just get settled in and feel comfortable in my space.
Comfort is not something I find easily these...

Yessss, aren't we all so hip, so happening?
I hope you recall where I'm really from. I know you must, since you described the exact concept that drove me out of LA in the first place, to head northward... the Baywatch factor. The plasticity of it all -- The Plasti-City.
I know you'd probably love it here, too. But then again I think EVERYONE should love the city I'm in love with.
I also agree on the point you made about "real" friends. The ones that can handle it when you come back.
For now, I've kind of given up on having chick friends. They suck way too much. And not in good ways like our hentai-monster friends.
Guys are just so much more low-maintenance.
Hm, now I know what to post for today. Thanks, bean.
Have a
Day.

beany bean beanery! I left early last night....

eep! I think all of my friends updated their journals all at the same time. Sorry if I don't get a chance to comment in all of them. I can only stay on the site for so long while I'm at work and the productivity nazis are lurking. Especially right now, as we've got some nasty e-commerce bugs that have suddenly popped up.
So...still no...

I got challenged at a bar one night...

Wow, when I ordered one and said, I'll buy you another, if you can take that whole thing
he didn't know who he was dealing with.

Wheeee! I'm sick! Well, my nose and sinuses caught a cold, but the rest of my body miraculously escaped illness. Odd.
I guess the stress of moving and getting a divorce, along with getting 2 hours of sleep for a full month followed by a week or so of playing pool, drinking a lot, and sleeping on floors and couches tends to...

Oh yeah, I am applying to school up Northeast... Temple U in Pa.
I'm doing a lot better now. Thank you all, again, for everything. 
This has, in fact, been a very interesting week. Since Sunday I've slept on the floor of my old apartment, wendi's linoleum floor, the driver's seat of my car, the floor of my new place, and my friend clint's couch, in that order. And right now my personal coffers have been drained by...

dragonreborn:
i was actually in the middle of taking a big drink of iced tea when i read your entry and nearly choked to death. i guess i would have bean dead.
My bed is in storage. My clothes are in the car, ready to be shipped off to the storage space in the morning. I sleep on the floor tonight. A blanket, a couple pillows, my computer. Knick-knacks and whatnot. All that's left of this place. This apartment I've never felt comfortable in. I've never really been happy here, and I'm glad to go. But leaving...

hey bean!!! yay for beans!!! aww so whats the deal with your cat?? fuck man, when my cat got sick, i rushed him to the hospital, all he had was a cold but still, dude, that one sneeze freaked me out. so you're moving to the lbc now or what?? i don't have much time at this internet cafe so i kinda just skimmed through your journal entry. hope all is well.
Wendi moved out tonight (thursday). I helped her set up her bed at her new place, and as soon as I got home it began to really hit me that I'm alone for the first time in four years, and living alone for the first time ever. I had been looking forward to the opportunity and the freedom, but until I get settled in my...

Oh, he knows. I compliment him every time I feel the urge, and I often pet his hair and kiss his forehead.
A week isn't a lifetime, but I finished the new Harry Potter book in 7.5 hours.
I wasn't trying... it just happened. I was really into it.

I wasn't trying... it just happened. I was really into it.My life, at a glance:
- My finger is healing nicely, if a bit itchy.
- Wendi and I are getting along much better now that we're splitting up. Odd how that works. Although, we're pretty odd people.
- I've got about half my stuff moved to Long Beach. The rest will go this week and this weekend.
- I'm feeling really pretty good about...

Random question:
Tell me something about yourself that might surprise people who know you...a guilty pleasure or odd fact. I'll start: I like the Disney tv show, "Kim Possible." I'm not sure why, since it represents everything I hated about high school and everything I hate about pop culture, but it's true. There, I've...
