I spent more time driving to and being at Home Depot on Friday night than actually working on my paddles. It was good though. I ended up botching only one (silly router-bit guides not working) but hey, it was definitely worth it.
I finished in the early hours of Saturday while I was printing out business 'cards' and spec sheets.

We missed you on Saturday, but it sounds like you had a good time anyway

Except it is a matter of need. Basic human need to be vulnerable and to be loved and to be cared for. All the things you just need when you're a kid. And I refuse to let myself need anything from anyone.
So,
I totally shirked my responsibilities and didn't stay in the garage tonight and make... things. I went out with Venice tonight instead, consoled some mutual friends, and drank copious quanities of $2 whiskey with soda and sours mix.
It just makes me want to live in Portland all the more. I can't walk (or bicycle) home from these places now. I need to be...

Hehe, I kissed you tonight...
I am a very irresponsible girl. Why did you let me drink that much?

I don't remember any warnings.
I can't give myself to someone. Not yet. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to date someone, and be all committed and whatnot. But it's really hard to give myself to someone when I'm still trying to figure things out for myself. I'm young, I'm unwise and nave. These are bad things to be when looking for someone with which to share your life.

Huh, okay.
Routers are the coolest thing in the world. You can do anything with them. I'm making these paddles for vendor's fair on Saturday. It's gonna be a close one getting them ready in time. They look good though. I finally got the right tool for the right job.
Hopefully, once they're all done, they'll pay for the tools and then some. And then...

Ah, the worth crisis. I have those a lot.
I'm having one of the "I just hung out and now I'm sure I made an ass of myself and everything thinks I'm an obnoxious idiot" crises. They're fun too!

Friday was awesome, and so was Saturday:
I went out to Jantzen Beach Friday morning and I rowed around a harbor for a couple hours. That was freaking awesome. Then I went to BFE, Oregon and hammered stakes into the ground. This is what life is like with the survey crew at my company. It's wonderful.

I need to move out. I need to go to the city. Suburbia is driving me nuts, literally. The whole concept of suburban living is car-centric. When the car-centricity of it fails, then we have a problem. There was a problem today. Traffic. It was the first time it got to me in a long while.
Anyway, it's ridiculous to have so many people trying...

Interesting. That means that for the price of my monthly rent, I could buy aproximately 57 square inches at those condos. Good to know. That's about enough room to stand, right? On one foot?

You and Venice need to find a place together. Close to my work.

Just for love nothing more nothing less only love
I think I'm beginning to realize that.
Some opportunities must be seized right here, right now. For love though...sometimes you just gotta wait.

I think i might agree with it.

Except that I was legitimately sick this week too. Even if the physical wasn't quite as bad as most people would stay home for, I think that having breakdowns and crying during your lunch break is a fairly decent reason to decide you need a day off. I'm not going to make a habit of it, but I'm really glad I did it today.
Hot diggity dawg. Nothing like some communication to clear shit up. Communication works better than Oxy-pads for clearing up blemishes.
Today was fairly good at work. I was pretty 'productive'
I got my bookshelf, much to Venice's family's approval (it's been sitting on their porch for the longest time. I had to ride my bike to the MAX station to get my car afterwards....

It really sucks when you say to yourself "I'm going to take a 'me'-day" but then have things hanging over your head making it totally worthless to do so.
I need to ride a bike more--it's good stuff.
