I got back from camping.

I slept 45 minutes this morning. Not one wink last night. I had a very, very wonderful night though. Couldn't have been better.

The weird thing, despite sleeping almost not at all, despite feeling a bit physically crummy I feel perfectly rested. It's really unusual... normally I'd be dead by now.

The plan was to take a nap as soon...

It was nice meeting you at ECCT this weekend.

I slept more on Saturday night than any other night - by then I was just exhausted. I'd have stayed up later but I was definitely sleep deprived going into the trip so that didn't help blackeyed
doxie:
Man, was this the weekend for camping or what? You're the third lovely lady on my friends list to write about camping this weekend wink I'm glad you had a good and restful time.

Well... things are going a bit better in my world.

I'm making an effort to isolate myself less. Working on my own business lets me off the hook from, well, leaving my building if that's what I feel like. But it's not what's good for me.

I signed up to volunteer at a gay community center. It's in center city, and it'll give me a...

So it seems that, rather unexpectedly, I may be moving and getting a roommate.

My good friend Kate was apartment hunting in my neighborhood, and I went along with her to navigate. She was sort of driving around aimlessly looking for For Rent signs. Well, we found this awesome house that was converted into apartments. It's a 3 bedroom, and we'd both be paying less...

shocked it's not that weird. she just kind of sounds like maggie simpson. For a similar sounding artist, but totally different direction, check out Mr. Sister
dominanefret:
I think that might be good for you.

Sorry I never texted you back about the dogs/cats. I thought about a response, and therefor thought that I had sent one. But umm.. apparently didn't.
I've been sick lately. Sick makes me kind of stupid.


I wanted to point out to you, in case you hadn't noticed - AnnaLee is back!

I am sooo addicted to The L Word lately. I've worked my way through the whole first season and am starting the 2nd.

Also, um, I have been really attracted to women more than men lately. In fact, I have very little desire to be with guys at all.

I love L Word - and I love ladies, too wink
girlysound:
I miss the l-word. Whenever I go home for Christmas I catch up on the missed episodes and literally rent them all in a couple days. I think it freaks the block buster guys out.

My Internet is down. Even the internet in the business center of my apartment building isn't working for me. I am posting this from the library.

I probably won't be around anytime soon because of this.

Thank you. ^_^ I really love him.

Thanks, I really appreciate the support. I'm really at a loss as what to do, or if things will change in July. I dunno.

Why do I feel like I lose a couple of brain cells every time I go to the Veggie group?

Seriously. I can't quite bring myself to leave it... but it seems that some comment in most threads there gets under my skin. Generally it's something sanctimonious.

In other news, I injured my wrist yesterday from carrying a 30 lb. bucket of cat litter...

well I miss you and I hope to see you soon

I stop by the Veggie group for recipe ideas once in a while and some of the threads do get a bit heated. I guess it's like anything else that people are passionate about. On the other hand the cupcake threads in the kitchen group stay rather polite biggrin

Well, I am back to home sweet home. I had a decent time in Vegas... not a lot of room for fun with the conference taking up most of my time, but California was pretty fun! I saw my good friend Lia, whom I haven't seen in over a year... plus a few friendly acquaintances that I also hadn't seen in ages.

It is great...

I think it depends on what city you're in when showing some PDA with a girl you're going out with. Minneapolis is pretty gay, at least the area I live in. And yeah, I hate the looks guys give us, which is why I don't think I could ever date straight guys ever again. If vandroth blew up tomorrow I think I'm just going to say to hell with men and just date women. Bi guys seem to be one in a million. Guys just don't seem to get it.

I'm pretty comfortable being out in Minneapolis. The whole "Minnesota Nice" is really a "Minnesota Indifference". So I could probably wave a rubber chicken around my head and everyone would pretend they don't see anything.

morgan:
Thank you darlin'. I'm doing the whole "hope for the best, prepare for the worst" thing for now.

I am out of town. Currently in Las Vegas for the Association of Professional Piercers' conference.

When it's over, I am going to California for a long weekend to visit friends. There's some I haven't seen in ages, and this is the closest I am going to be to CA for a long time.

Ah! I'd so love to go to the APP conference. I definitely don't pierce but I bet it's full of cool information. Lucky! Have fun!

My mom has been trying to push this grape fruit seed extract oil thing on me for the pink eye. Buuuut, I am kinda nervous about homeopathic medicines the same way some people are nervous about man made medicines. I ended up asking my veterinarian boss to recommend an antibiotic ointment that we carry at work... they're all the same! Tee-hee.

Hope you are having a good time.

Yesterday and today the weather has been amazing... today it's a bit overcast, but both days it's been in the 60's and up to 70.

Yesterday, I found myself looking for as many excuses to get outdoors as possible. I ran errands that I otherwise would have put off running, so that I had a purpose for all of the walking I wanted to do....

Has anyone else been having difficulty looking at sets? Every time I've tried to do so in the past week or so, either the window it opens is of the main side, or I get a message saying "album cannot be loaded". Why does it seem like every time they change the layout of the site, it goes downhill? Sigh.

I had a good weekend...

I know, I am definitely one of those people that don't keep in touch.
The other issue is my other friend here who is having twins is having her baby shower the same weekend.

Oooh, that sounds nice! wink Both the free exterminator and your trip to your friend's house! wink

What are your favorite fruits and vegetables? Least favorites?

This may seem like a silly question, but I really love this topic. Produce is my favorite food group in general.

-Blackberries
-dates
-Pears
-Bananas
-Grapes

You could classify any of the following as fruits, because technically they have seeds/pits, which is what makes something...

Yeah, I'm hoping that the "organic girl" at work is just educating herself and considers our job a learning experience. But she's kind of an airhead. lol And I do feel bad for her because she never eats food that coworkers bring in. More power to her cause I don't have that kind of willpower.
First shift had a potluck lunch today, and I made some organic mashed potatoes that she could munch on while our second shift munches on leftovers. I just hope she doesn't have some sort of weird potato allergy because I found out that one of the people on our second shift is allergic to pork, but no one can remember who it is. So we now have dairy, fish, and pork allergies to think about.

I'm just waiting for someone to eat my food and explode. eeek
