I found out about the AFSP's (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) Out of the Darkness Overnight walk this past weekend, and I can't shake it from my mind. I think that means I'll be going to Seattle at the end of June...
If anyone would be interested chipping in for the cause, I'll let you know how to do that once I'm all signed up...

Lucky you I love Seattle!
I need a vacation from parents... who wants to go to the beach with me next weekend?
dmac:
Oooh! Oooh! PIck me!! Oh, wait, it's roller derby weekend next weekend..... can't miss THAT!!! 
My parents flew into town last night. This is the first time mom has ever been to the west coast, and only the second for dad. They put their stamp of approval on the apartment and The Roomie.
Tomorrow, we're driving out to the coast... I'm going to try really hard to not forget my camera. I think it's going to be a good day....

I hope you have a great time with the family!

Happy familying! I'm going to be a fully functioning alcoholic hopefully, I aim high!
I was manhandled by an Amazon last night. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
The annual "Day of Debauchery" was reduced to "A Short Evening of a Few Drinks and Strippers". It was not quite the "Fear and Loathing" running of the gauntlet that either of us had hoped for, but it was pretty relaxed and satisfying in its own way.

The post-birthday update:
Nothing to report... really.
It was a rather quiet evening. I went out and enjoyed a nice birthday dinner, which I washed down with a nice birthday beverage.
I didn't sleep very well, though. I spent the better part of today looking/feeling like a zombie at work. I hit the bed as soon as I got home and am still snuggly warm...

No fair! I'm too far away for the reindeer games!

Yes please, reindeer celebrations sound like just what I need!
Stupid man, not men I suppose..I'm not usually induced into such bigoted rants...I don't know if i'm going to have to cut my man loose..It's possibly the final straw in a looong story but to shorten it, I just found out (via the classiest of mediums, facebook) that he lied to me; this weekend he was in fact out partying with his old housemates... documented by a ton of pictures of him grinning with his arms round them. Wouldn't ordinarily be an issue aside from the fact he told me he was playing computer games at a mates and that said mates comprise of one girl, would've smacked me in the face for no reason (other than that she tried it on with my man before we got together, got the knockback (or so he says I no longer know what to believe!) and has had a vendetta against me ever since, the titless witch!) and another girl who took great delight in making snipy bitchy comments at me for months, right under his nose. He allegedly didn't 'realise'. It all came to a head after they'd all chipped away at my self worth for months, the first girl tried to knock me flat on my birthday, so I refused to see them again. He made out he was pissed off with them, wasn't gonna talk to them etc., because of how they've treated me...this facade goes on, then i see these pictures. I'm being taken for a total mug, surely?! And now i'm waiting for him to get back to his house (he's spectacularly late to top it all and i'm just sitting it out shaking i'm so pissed off and betrayed) so he can talk to me in person. Which is going to make things better how? I'm so sorry this is such a doubtless incoherently and poorly written rant i'm just seething and gutted at the same time.

Happy Birthday!
ferretbite:
What, you thought I wouldn't wish you a happy birthday just because I'm in Vegas!?!? Shame on you!
Oh, lethargy, my old friend. Why do you taunt me so?
I'm looking at the clock and it's only an hour and a half away from the time when Kaki King will be at a local music store for a meet and greet. I'd sure like to go, but I'm pretty damn tired and not feeling like getting ready to leave my home any time...

I took The Roommate to see Les Claypool at the Roseland last night. Oringially, another friend of mine was going to go with me, but a last minute engagement with his death bed put the kibosh on that. He got a cold. That left me with an extra ticket and no one to see the show with. I figure I owe Roomie the price of...

thank you 
I'm trying to be a bit more positive today. I really, really like your profile picture, where's it from? (I'm hazarding a guess it's Animal Farm related?)
