Random update to mention how much I adore SG Opaque. I have a serious girl crush! *swoon*
Blogging here for the moment, in case you were wondering where I'd run off to. The blogs come and go, ya know?

On an unrelated note, hi. It's been forever, I hope you're well.

3 AM: I'm done with my freelance gig, high on Diet Coke, and leaving for 11 days in the woods with the family in roughly 8 hours.
Never a dull moment.

im pretty much a corpse... i just got back from vacation also and im more tired after... its a tough life i tell you... i love the adirondacks i spent just about every summer of my life up there and almost retreated there in the last year to get away from everything... one day log cabin on a lake with a little sail boat and a row boat and i will be very relaxed and happy. i used to work at a camp up there and really miss it. drama sucks nuf said right?
i am applying for my new job tomorrow, 40k pay cut and huge lifestyle increase, its a bargain deal on my behalf if you ask me. that and dodging an unhappily married chick who is after me, it would be easier to avoid her if i didnt like her so much and she wasnt hot. its not as bad as it sounds i havent done anything wrong... and thats about it for me hahaha

your offer is an amazing one, however i am working straight until august 1st. so we will have to reschedule for august if it doesnt interfere with your grocery bagging
i hear your advice and have the same reservations and i guess i still dont know what to think because i know her situation and what her marraige is like so i cant place all the blame on her. its just a strange predicament to say the least
and on life and happiness, i guess everyone has different standards and values and sometimes, like myself, you cant figure them out until you give something a shot. i guess you dont know what you have to loose on an opportunity until you take the step and find out if what you lost is more important to you.
anyway we will figure something out soon

so, here's an entertaining story for you. or at least, i was entertained, anyway.
a year or so ago, when my unsatisfied libido had gotten the best of me, i posted a profile on a hook-up site. which was a totally fascinating experience in and of itself - but i digress.
a few of the men that i had corresponded with were decent human beings,...

work that pays the bills takes priority over coffee and/or tea.

so, forget everything i said the other day.
i'm starting my own business! for a lot of reasons. but mostly because i have about 6 months worth of money from various assorted sources as a cushion to get me up and running, and that sort of opportunity doesn't come around too often in life. it'll be design, of course, partially freelance but also with a...

Best of luck!
Friends have accused me of selling out. I fail to see how I am more of a sell out by getting paid to draw all day than I was when I was working a shit retail job for an even bigger company and getting paid a fraction of my current salary.
They're just jealous because you get to make a living doing something creative.
Thanks for reminding me to check on my 401k

im as terrible as always but im a few months away from ditching huge corporate life with awesome 401k and esop programs(which aparently you like) i would rather toss them to the curb in exchange for quality of life. some call me crazy i just enjoy surfing fishing and each and every summer off.
but enough of that... when are you going to start dating men?

i haven't had a sad sweet breakup in a very long time. it hurts a lot. great guy, wrong time, wrong place. and i selfish, absorbed, with nothing to give, now. someday i hope to give again. but i don't have anything that i don't want to keep for myself, these days.
everything is ending this week, largely by...

sounds like a blessing in a thin disguise. Enjoy the opportunity to freelance, relax and take a little time deciding which of these offers you'll take.
I think more than Boston itself, I'm just attracted to a city that's not NYC and certainly not Lake George. I've never actually been to Salem, But I'm currently staying with a friend in Newburyport, and I really like the old north shore town vibe.
re: ps: I didn't really go out while I was in Dot. Just hung out with my cousin and her husband and relaxed. tonight is going to be the drinking night. staying at the hostel in Kenmore. any suggestions on where to go? I want to avoid turning to my old haunts for lack of a better idea.

scott:
yeah, I think if I stay upstate, I'll have to move to 'toga or I'll go crazy. I'm all about the artsy small cities. I would move to burlington, but there's too many hippies. I don't mind the neo-yuppies being around, because without their money, there'd be no economic infrastructure for the artists and creatives to live in.
Maybe I'll check out Salem on my way back to the city today.

raise your hand if you prefer being single to being not.
*tentatively raises hand*

and how hot is mezza? frickin awesome. what a great set to come back to!
i'm random today, i know. i've interviewed for two jobs in the past...

I hear you on the single thing. Having freedom to do whatever my whim decides is amazing. Sometimes I feel like my every move needs to be discussed in committee when I'm with someone. I like the freedom to be erratic.
This weekend for example... I like having the ability to wander around Boston with no agenda whatsoever without having to clear it with anyone.
still... the idea of companionship always sounds appealing after a lot of time spent with myself.
ah... the "I miss you" call. Made and received a few of those. A bizarre experience either way.

a switch clicked in my brain, and i feel better.
and in 12 hours i will be landing in Miami. and 12 hours after that I will be headed for the Keys. and 12 hours after THAT i will be sitting in a lawn chair, drinking a beer, smoking a cigarette, talking to my best friend, my skin deliciously itchy from a swim in 75...

so fucking jealous!!!
the thing that mom never told you about dating the wrong boys over and over and over and over again is that they train you. you start to believe that everyone is like that, and treat everyone with the same suspicions, distrust and skepticism. their damage isn't the yelling, the screaming, the crying, the sting of anger and hurt and humiliation in the moment --...
