The thing that freaks you out about my profile picture isn't that I am bald. It's that I have no eyebrows.

Another clear CT scan. Two years since my first chemo. That's about 20 months of remission. I like to round it off to two years.

This is the second time, in late 2001, after it had grown back a bit:



It was interesting, I sorta attracted other people with shaved heads, big bikers, young dykes, cancer patients; it was like being part of a club. They were always ready to talk.

Feeling better today. After my teeth-grinding wait for her to finish the term I called Tango Girl to schedule a date, per our earlier conversations, and left a voicemail. That was 48 hours ago. So I am pretty much writing this one off and moving on. She was pretty honest with me about being too busy to date. I can make up my mind later...

Oh man that was more interesting than my Saturday night. Well sort of... at least you got to make out with someone. That sounds like a good night though. Next time your're solo on a saturday you need to email me I'll go out. Bummer about the other one not working out. I hate it when that happens. As far as what listened to going up to B.C. Well does everything explain much? I just bought a new mp3 player (no not an ipod) that has a 6GB hard drive and so far I have, almost, my entire collection of music on it. Or at least all the stuff I'm not totally sick of. As far as what I sang along to... um, anything that actually had lyrics to sing!

And life goes on. Mood goes up, mood goes down. Energy level lifts, then slumps before too long. Some progress at work, then the phone rings with two crises and half the day (the productive half) is shot. Supplies arrive, and I run out of something else. It's been on order for weeks. Another week and it should ship.

Hit match.com pretty hard last week...

"When the rescue chopper picked me off of the rooftop, some debris got kicked up by the rotor wake."



I just really like the way you phrased this.
desidia:
Well it was inevitable. For a while it was impossible to not be emo about her vague entries being freshly seperated from her and all. But I've slowly adjusted (and restarted anti-anxiety/anti-depressants).

So yeah, I was bugging- make that harassing her about vague entries but after some time and effort I can once again appreciate the suffering of others. Even her's.

Its actually comforting to hear some relieving news about dating sites. I've been considering them as it is but in the eventual years I can only imagining that desire to dramatically rise. Its good knowing they aren't all crap.

As near as I can tell, I am really hitting the wall on this no-girlfriend thing. I can see little (and not so little) boundary violations and bad judgment calls showing up, but only in hindsight. Suddenly I am remembering the cute local girl I met two years ago who was not-so-discreetly trolling for a fuck-buddy to keep her satisifed between her out-of-town boyfriend's visits....

Oh that sucks you were sick. I've had a cold for at least two months now. Of course staying out till the wee hours on saturday didn't help at all.

I used to live right down the street from an Argentine Tango studio. I must have driven past it a thousand times. Then in the summer of '04, on my way to a Cherry Tarts show, I finally stopped in to check it out. Lots of people having fun, younger than me, my age, older. A real social crowd without the usual boundaries. And a...

Saturday night: Vietnamese food, conversation, tango dancing, flirting, somewhat more personal conversation, "I'm not that kind of girl," drive home. Still, I got to hold her close, dance, and smell her hair. And she said yes to a second date.

I'm a little concerned about my taste in women. I'm starting to notice a number of patterns, one of which is that I tend to...

I have a date Saturday. A friend of a friend I met a few weeks ago. This girl has a very unusual, very intense energy. I can't tell whether I am going to get action on the first date or if she's a wait-until-we're-almost-married type. But there will be dinner, and tango, and at least a little flirting. Can't complain.

Suddenly I have three new...

I think, for the most part, women expect us to swing for the fence. As men that's what we do. They're used to it by now. Of course that doesn't mean they like it or are going to give it up. I've found they prefer a little mystery, "does he like me? He didn't even try to kiss me". Girls like it when we play coy. But I could be wrong. I never swing for the fence the first time around mainly out of fear of rejection but I'm a coward like that. So did anything good happen? Anytime you're up for fire night at DP let me know, I'm just about always down for that!

Do you want to know the sad story of my life? Well neither of us has time for that. But the sad story of the past year or so is "I just started seeing someone." Every. Damn. Time.

I don't sweep girls off of their feet. It takes me about two lunches and a walk in the park to really relax and open up. Then...

What a sticky game. It is hurtful.

We should dance the frustration away. I need to come up and say hi sometime.
yumchen:
Oops there is a double post there! Who did that?

Klamath Falls is ok. I am finally making some friends with people in my program. They are actually people I want to spend time with outside of school which in nice.

The boy and I are going to be visiting the portland area during the month of December. I here Pirate Thursdays are happening still. It would be cool to say hi again in person,

OK, so I spent about an hour putting together a "20 interesting things" list. Now it's not here. So, did it get lost in the ether, or did I accidentally post it as a comment to someone's journal? I've tried tracking my last few comments and nothing stands out. It may be lost. Does that mean the gods of cyberspace consider it not interesting enough?...

Busy day ahead. Visiting in-laws, going to work, shaving my head, painting it with liquid latex . . .

Busy, busy, busy.

So it turns out my SG e-mail was broken. I think I have it fixed.

Minor surgery next Wednesday, so I'm all about livin' it up this weekend.

No flying since July. I'm jonesin' pretty bad. I've set aside two days to go...
