it's my half-birthday! my people don't live long, we have to celebrate when we can. 
in other news, i gave a year's worth of homemade bread to a few family members for christmas this year, due to the constant flow of money into my doctor's pockets. actually, it's more of a trickle, and usually only after they send a final notice, but still...i'm making a garlic potato bread this weekend. i've been mailing them to my indiana family, and giving them to my illinois family when i see them. and, although it wasn't meant as a present for the boy, i usually end up making enough dough for four loaves, so he's been digging the bread situation...
you know how (or maybe you don't, in which case this will be news to you) when you're suddenly sick, or disabled, or dying, people are always saying that it doesn't matter if you can't work or you can't do stuff you used to do, or whathaveyou? i actually get a little offended by that line of thinking. i spent most of 2010 out of the world due to fucked up chronic illness and pain, and i would like to think that the world is a little less for not having me in it, y'know? just 'cause i'm sick doesn't mean i'm not narcissistic. so, while it's meant well, it's really not what i want to hear. in fact, i generally want to hear two things from people visiting me when i'm sick: 'yes i will watch bad sci-fi with you' and 'i brought you a hamburger.' actually, my liver hates on the hamburgers, but christ on a stick they're fucking dee-licious.
on a lighter note, i'm starting a project come may: 29 dates in 29 days. i'll have to plan multiple dates on the same day, 'cause i'm not usually up to multiple nights of going out, but still...i've been out of the loop so long, and i need to shake things up a bit. even if a couple of the dates are actually with people i've already slept with.

Oh, Hedy, we've hung out enough times that you know that ain't true.

I'd love to make a trip up to Chicago sometime and meet up!
