i just finished reading 'The Bone People' by Keri Hulme. what an amazing book. it takes a bit to get used to, as it's written in a very choppy style, but it's so raw and emotionally charged. it's about a rich part-Maori (New Zealand native) woman who is estranged from her family and builds a tower on the coast to live out life by herself....

"but somewhere long ago it left me
the promised joys were arid nothings
the destiny was never proclaimed, and never fulfilled"
~ The Bone People - Keri Hulme
i've been dreaming more than normal lately. intricately woven tapestries of lucid thought; scents, sounds, feelings of panic, calm, confusion, passion, drifting on rivers of fluid tinged with turquoise chasing a white swan trying to save it...

I can never remember my dreams, it's so disappointing.
Echoes can be good, they drive the point home more, as much as I hate hearing it. I just have to accept that you're all are right.

I have weird dreams. So very weird. 
i am sleepy... 
it's been a long long week...what with a 3-day meeting in cowtown and having to tolerate an utterly banal whiney-ass colleague for the whole 3 days... but it's better now. it's hallowe'en, i've decorated, completed the poisoning of the candy (keeping a small, unpoisoned portion for myself), and now i'm just finding the last touches for my costume for tonight. i wanted...

i'm still alive, just busy with, well, stuff. dealing with tonnes of work and trying to get out of the house once in a while, while balancing family (as in my folks and other sorts) demands on top of all of it. fun stuff.

thanks. i've come to that conclusion too. i had the urge to defend myself, as most of us do, i expect. but when i noticed how many times he and his compatriots checked my site, it didn't seem like it had a point to it. if i said anything, they'd just be juvenile about it, so it was best if i just let them blow themselves out and go on with my life. fuck 'em

week of the geek
i'm feeling like such a geek this week, but i'm loving it. i'm planning on learning how to program blog templates so i can create my own. i've spent at least 10 hours coming up with a character for a dungeons & dragons campaign that i'm playing in. i've contributed my feelings on a character for final fantasy tactics that a...

thanks for the good luck aquarius. and you're right...phenomenal everyday would be boring after a while. perhaps a balance is in order.
my guy and i have been together for a little over 1.5 years now and it's been great. :smile:

yes. come to calgary.
things have been relatively steady lately...although not without ups and downs. somehow it just all balances out i guess.
i haven't heard from the friend that shut me down for about 2 weeks now. i think she may have blocked me from her msn and that makes me so very sad. she is an amazing woman, so sweet and caring and so very sensual...but i...

hey, thanx for your advice about college, but I think I would be able to make ends meet to go to college, I just found out about a couple hours ago, but hey it might change, who knows, it's not until January that I have to make a decision.
so, what? you have a man, but you're still searching for someone? or is this man just a booty call? I'm confused..... I know I'm still young but my problem is that I keep finding girls that all the want is just a booty call, I can't seem to find some substinence behind it, you know a "relationship." I think it's a curse, when I was younger(15-18) I always dreamed of just having girls that just want to have sex, but now that I have it's a curse. "God is punishing me" but hey, you've got the right idea, don't lose hope, but don't stop looking either and don't get down if you can't find someone, you will i think everyone will, if they try hard enough.

things have been looking up a bit... i've been in a better mood, got some good sleep, ate some spinach dip, and managed to unexpectedly get a book that i've been trying to locate for some time. so it's been a bit better. i'm still working through the rejection thing, but i'm on the better side of resolving it with myself. now all that has...

Hi Sylvan, thanks for the job ad. I might have been a little late in a applying for it though but I can still dream. So what have you been up to you havent updated in a little while I hope everything is going good for you.
long time no update...
things have been alright around here, but i've been having some problems staying away from the brink of depression again. usually i'm fine, haven't had a lot of problems since about my third year of university. but i've been crazy-stressed out lately and i've been bordering again. i'm trying not to slip into it, but it's hard. once you know that...

i'm baaaaaack! Victoria/Vancouver Island kicked ASS. best vacation i've ever had. Jay and i plan to go back next year and do more hiking. it was f*cking awesome. i'll try to scan some pics and put them up here. we backpacked for 4 days on the Juan de Fuca Trail and then spent three days in Victoria whale watching and sight seeing. best vacation ever!
The other one is a sweetheart.
