Thank you all so much for your birthday wishes. You're the best. If only that little red balloon appeared spontaneously on your birthday in the real world! Wouldn't that be great.
Well. I hope you're all having a great weekend. I am about to hit the books, like a good grad student. Yippie!
Well. Here I am. Back from winter break and not quite ready to go back to class. But I am here anyway. Drove back yesterday. I need to do some Sunday cleaning and go grocery shopping!
Hey there,
I had a 93 Camaro for a while. First year of that body style I do believe. I don't have a 69 Camaro yet, but I've wanted it since I was seven. Yes, seven ... It the first generation Camaro and the year I was born ... yeah old I know. Some things you just have to have so it will probably be this spring unless my brother comes across something sooner.
Last night's annual Christmas Eve celebration was a lot of fun, due in no small degree to the fact that the lovely Midnyte came out to keep me company and keep me from going all agoraphobic while all these people I didn't know wandered around my house.
Thanks for all the kind comments about the loss of Auggie. I appreciate it.
I hate that for you. Been there ... done that. It's not easy but it gets better, promise. I'm getting a tat with my baby's name ... that's how wacked I am about losin' my boy.
I plan on going to see him someday at Rainbow Bridge. Hope I'm good enough to get there.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone very special, someone who was left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; his eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly, he breaks from the group, flying over the green grass, faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into those trusting eyes, so long gone from your life, but never absent from your heart. Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together...
Wish my membership to SGAZ had been approved already. I'd love to see the pics from Saturday night's holiday party. If I were a smarter boy I would have brought my own camera.
I had a great time. Really enjoyed meeting everybody, especially Midnyte. She looked incredible, of course, and that was just the beginning. She's one of the most interesting people I've talked to... Read More
Haha. Thanks for the concern. Of course things worked out with school, they always do, that's why my habits never improve. I always procrastinate right up until the last minute and then push myself hard as I can for a few days. If I could just work under less stressful conditions -- but I don't think my brain is wired that way. I need the... Read More
Damn! I skip a few days on this site and almost miss out on stuff like the Audrey Tatou interview. Thanks for the heads up. It would have slipped into the back pages unnoticed.
As for the mystery woman - it's going OK... We hang out sometimes, and we may go to Reno over the holidays, but she is in the process of moving out of her house - and a very scary relationship where her ex has told her that "unlike Laci Peterson, they'll never find your body..." Domestic violence is a real sickness, and I don't necessarily want my name on the victims list. There's a balance between helping someone and getting in the middle of something that has absolutely nothing to do with my own life. I'm torn on how to proceed...
