I'm starting a new weekly feature in my journal called Why I Love Portland. It occured to me the other day that I keep finding reasons I'm happy for moving here. I remembered this again the other night at the grocery store when I discovered:

The grocery store near my house bakes pound cakes every morning!

I love pound cake. This makes me so happy...

After conquering what is hopefully the last obstacle between me and registering for school (this time they lost my placement test scores), I am once again a student. School up here is about 4 times more expensive then California, so I'm only taking 2 classes. Both are internet classes, though, so I'm sure I'll do quite well. I rock on the internet.

I still do not have a bed, but that isn't too big of a problem yet. It's different, sleeping inches above the floor, but it's not terribly uncomfortable. I have a desk, and it has a computer on/under it. The computer has a working wifi modem running to it, and I once again I have my working portal to this aspect of reality.

Today I:...

So I don't have interernet access in my room. Actually, we don't have internet access in our hourse, supposedly. Comcast Cable seems to be remarkably unresponsive when it comes to getting their service to actually work. But that's what neighbors are for. Unfortunately the neighbors seem to have been alerted to my arrival, and have position their routers in just such a way that the...

I'm in Portland.

The weather is perfect, and I don't plan to waste much of it inside today.

I'm going exploring!

Last night was some sort of wild, meat fueled dream come true. There was skirt steak, flank steak, garlic steak, pepper steak, alligator, chicken, quail, duck, and (my favorite) bacon wrapped turkey (or as I affectionatly call it when I'm excited, turkey wrapped bacon).

Violetflux and razmataz (who I see is now grey. ) left to get themselves weak and pitiful salads somewhere that didn't...

M: I only show my boobs for free.
O: Free I got. I got all the free you need!

Just a random quote from the farewell party that's been keeping me smiling. That and the hiccup incident, but I don't know how to put that in words.

Anywhoo, I'm arranging one more get together before I take off for the great green north.

Thursday, March...

I am hella-drunk. Tonight was my farewell party, and it was great. It stated at 3 in the afternoon, and I left around 4 in the morning. Any party that last 12 hours has good to be good.

In conclusion, I love my firends. I will miss them all madly, and I hope to see them all again soon.

Sleep now.

I was trying to think of a proper way to say goodbye to Hunter S. Thompson. All I can think to say is that I'm grateful he wrote what he did. My life, and the lives of people I'm close to, would not have been as wild, dark, profound, or fun if his work had not been a part of it.

Thanks for the stories,...
