Impermanence
While posting in someone else's journal, I was reminded of a documentary about a group of Buddhist monks in Tibet I watched a couple weeks ago. They were lamenting the decay of an ancient fresco, and enlisting the help of a western art historian who specialized in the restoration of frescoes. The fresco in question, though, was so severely damaged that some parts of...

One of these days I should really sit down and put some thought and care into my journal entry. Do something crazy like tell a story. Include interesting dialogue, paraphrased from real life but re-worded to give a voice to the speakers. I should describe the setting in intimate detail, but only insofar as it aids in the telling of the story. One of these...

it's the baby toe on my right foot. interestingly enough, the toe adjacent is naturally somewhat deformed, so the splint i made between the two is really funny looking. i think it will heal well, though. it seems like a minor fracture.
WOOOOOO!!!!! I got the house!!!! I'll be moving in on the 2nd. I'm sooooooo happy!!!
This is the first time I've had my own place, so I'm a little nervous, but my landlord seems really cool and laid back but still professional, and I LOVE the place, so I'm sooooo excited about getting it.
...now if I could just get rid of my car so...

So I just got home from the emergency room...I was washing the dishes, and a glass broke while my hand was inside it. It cut a nice deep V into my pinky on my right hand. Four hours and four stitches later, here I am, bandaged and a little bloodstained. I hate getting hurt. A scrape or minor wound is no big deal, but having...

I talked to the owner of the house I want to rent, and he said that I am one of the front runners for getting it. I'll know this weekend whether that's the place or whether I'm going to be scrambling to find a different place before the end of the month, when I have to be out of here. *crossing fingers*
So, tell me...

I made it to the gym and to work on time, in the same day! Each day gives me more strength and resolve to conquer my fears and go forth to make today the worst of my tommorrows - Dear God, I am sooooo hallmark today.
Hope you get the house, it sounds like a place of much inspiration ... *crossing fingers, too*

TODAY
I woke up real late and went apt hunting myself! FUCK everything is so out of my price range.
Went to see Finding Nemo and it was just as amazing as you (and everyone else in the world) said it was. I was in a nasty mood (cigarette craving?? not sure) prior to the flick, but came out feeling ohso well.
Good stories are so inspiring. I don't ordinarily even think about wanting to work for Pixar, or even Dreamworks, but with each subsequent movie they produce, I reconsider... to a certain extent. Animation whoring would not normally be my forte. But I guess I can dream.
The best thing that happened today is beyond verbal description. But I did have a best thing, and that makes me happy.
How are you? I hope you get the place! *crossing fingers and toes*
Take pics when you do, okay?

So I found this absolutely cute little 1 Bedroom place in Long Beach today, which will hopefully be mine in a few weeks. Coming up with enough cash for the deposit ought to be interesting, and the parking blows. But the parking blows throughout most of Long Beach, and the owner lives behind the house here, so I wont have to deal with some nazi...

Hi Bean,
It would be soooo cool if you came to one of our shows! I hope that gets to happen some day. It might be fun for you to get out and do something different when you feel up to going out again.
On a serious note, I noticed from your journal postings that you are going through tough time right now. I am sorry to hear this and wish the very best for you. Your story deserves a happy ending.

So Wendi and I had this really long talk tonight over dinner right before we saw Finding Nemo. We came to the conclusion that we're both freaks of nature who are really better off as best friends than husband & wife. Seriously. Apparently, our marriage ruined our friendship. It stifled us. We're both wildly independent (she, moreso than I) which is what drew us together,...

i have just made you my friend. which means you have to be my friend.
I finally uploaded a couple actual pics of myself. They're from a couple years ago, before the hair on my head migrated to my chin, but they're me nevertheless. Someday I might get up the energy to get off my ass and get some more recent pics up. Maybe.
Seriously..I'm going to bed now. No more of this nonsense. I got out of chat 2...

Hopefully the incident will replay itself in my dreams for many years to come.

i like you're badass couch
So much sadness. I'm a sucker for sadness. I'm a hopeless helper. I'm a cuddler, a hugger, a cry-on-my-shoulder-er, a sounding board, a giant ear, an idea-bouncing-wall, a confessional. I feel endlessly compelled to comfort the unhappy, especially since I was sooooo perpetually unhappy for nearly a decade. I actually wrote a poem about the dark side of this compulsion to help, and maybe I'll...

i suppose getting my shit together will be a pain in the ass & a lifestyle change......
So what do I have to show for my sgchat marathon, during which I spent 32 of 36 hours in chat (not always chatting away, as I worked for part of that time), and slept for only 2 hours? Well, I made some new friends, which is always really nice. Did I mention I'm a total friend whore? Yeah, I love getting comments in my...

yeah, i have mad social issues as well. i get really uncomfortable and nervous if i am around a lot of people i don't know. i can do ok at shows but they get overwhelming sometimes. it is weird for me too and a lot easier to talk to people online. it is hard though if i am in a situation of meeting someone i have talked to online, it is really hard for me to go up and introduce myself. i am getting better at it but it is still hard sometimes.
have a great day.
