$24,961.51...

That's how much debt I have left on my crippling loan. Paying in $1000 per month, I'm looking at being debt free by August 2012.

That seems like such a long ass time away. I'll be 34. Ouch. Just hearing that makes me feel old too.

All that debt because my ex fiance couldn't keep out of other guys pants. Whatever. I got debt,...

So this 365 thing isn't so bad.

Sure. I'm only on Day 4... but whatever. I said the same about my beard project, and by the end I grew to hate the whole picture a day thing.

The melatonin seemed to do its business. I was surprised. Yeah, the 'fast dissolve' tablets tasted like the sweaty ass of a camel, but within 30 minutes of...

I spent money today.

Bad, bad me. I'm not really supposed to be spending, but saving for a trip to Utah instead.

But I kinda had to. I bought a Nikkor 50mm f/1.8D lens for my DSLR. Total camerageek speak.

Because I want to improve my photo quality (the 'kit' lens that came with my camera sucked ass) and spending $$$ on this camera will...

Oh me oh my. What have I gotten myself into now.

In the great quest for more local friends, I unknowingly befriended an ex of a member of our scooter club. No big deal right? Well, I already she knew she was kind of 'not all there' after talking to her for like 5 minutes. THEN she adds me to Facebook. THEN My friend Magda...

More sewing today.

Seeing as how its pouring rain out, and I'm kind of broke, I decided today was a good day to tackle some more sewing.

This time I'm making a 'tool wrap' for some of the common tools I take with me when I'm out on the scooter. I'm using a basic idea and again, no pattern, and its kind of tricky so...

Do I post again about my bad luck in women?

Nah, I think I've established that.

So lately I've been on this huge sewing kick. Yeah, I sew. And I'm straight too.

I made myself a messenger bag, took roughly 5.5 hours to complete (with swearing breaks in between) and I gotta say, it turned out pretty awesome.

I've got more plans for random things...

So yet again... it didn't work out.

I went down to Seattle to visit her. We rented scooters and she showed me around the town.
I took her to a Seattle Sounders game (fucking scalpers took me for almost all I had) - they won 3-0. It was her favorite team.
We went for drinks with friends later. Laughed. Had a great time.
On the...

So here's the problem.

I've kinda sorta fell in love, again.
It's basically one sided. Again.

So here's the score:

We met at a scooter rally (A Vespa convention) - I mentioned this in my last blog - and we got on real well.

Basically we were at each others side 95% of the time. We had one of those long-drawn-out goodbyes before we parted...
