Sweet jesus, I feel so much better. Had a REALLY good talk yesterday with someone that I've been feeling unhappy about and I'm immensely relieved.

Also, fun was had yesterday at Pirate. I took lots of goofy pictures and, as usual, ignored the "Do Not Feed Whiskey To The Louise" sign.

Today I have the privilege of being Ryan's chauffer, and tomorrow I head to...

One of my favorites from Lattimore's Greek Lyrics. But it recently occurred to me, do you think this was what the guy who nicknamed Ron Jeremy was thinking of?

I have a brilliant idea for a short film: it'll be called "It's a Wonderful Lost Weekend". In it a remorseful alcoholic, on the verge of suicide after a blackout binge is shown by angelic forces all the lives he touched and fun he had during his lost weekend.

I'm very tired after having a good time on Friday. I'm also putting off an emotionally...

I did my Annonymous Theater performance this Monday. It's this thing where a play is produced with only the director knowing who's cast in it. The actors all rehearse seperately and arrive at the theater as audience members, stepping out of their seats at the cue for their first lines in the play. It's more than a little nerve-wracking, esp. in terms of getting your...

Some things you know are going to hurt you, but you do them anyway. Heart's been a bit achey of late. Not broken, exactly, but a trifle torn perhaps. Caring about someone who forgets that you exist the moment you leave the room can be... difficult.

Truth is, I knew it would end up like this, I just hoped it wouldn't be this soon.

But...

My capacity for dawdling in the face of deadlines is truly epic. Why does everything frivolous seem much more fun when you have some actual work you have to do?

Yay, I'm feeling mostly better. And the sun is shining and I think I'm gonna go a-skippin' in the park. Or something equaly active and frivilous.

But now that the winter of of my discontent is looking like it's at an end, it's also time to get to work. i've been more or less resting on my laurels--which are rather scanty anyway and don't merit...

The sickness continues. I've been sick for three weeks now, which is not helping my occaisonal struggles against depression any. And it's just sooooo unjust. Why me? Why me, lord? What have I done to offend you? Other than in sinning and profaning your name and generally not believing in you?

On the plus I got my first good night's sleep last night and my...

I did something today that I'd been meaning to do but felt rather nervous about. And for my trouble got told that she "was flattered". Man, that phrase is like the kiss of death.

Still it feels good to have laid it on the line, even if it smarts a bit. A coward dies a thousand death deaths, as the man says.

I think I'm...
