29 Things I've Learnt by the Age of 29 (which I will be next month...)
1. Manners matter. Always. Use them.
2. Cats are people, too.
3. Good sex cures just about anything. Similarly, bad sex is not only bad for your health, it should be illegal.
4. Things change. Wanting them not to wont stop it from happening.
5. No one is good at...

Catching: up on all the new SGs that have popped up while I have been packing, teaching, moving, getting sick, unpacking, marking essays, missing deadlines, apologising for missing deadlines, working like crazy to not miss more deadlines and so on and so on...

hello, my dear!! i hope you are well. i've missed you as well. can't wait to see what you've been up to, as i am sure it has been marvelously productive.
Measuring: furniture for our new place. Yep, we're on the move in about 2 weeks. Can't wait - very nice place with room for cats and a garden, an office separate to my bedroom and a kitchen you can actually cook in. Bliss...

the new place sounds nice. crossing fingers for your health. I myself survive on microwave hot pockets and ---exercise--that would be head banging or rocking out at a rock show. that and sex of course. (my health suffers a little too). but I hope your suffering stops and you feel healthier. good luck.

Hello chick-a-dee! I miss you.
Pining: for the weekend past. Freaky and I had a great time away. Drove around in a convertible, sat in the spa til we became prunes, had time to ourselves with no work and no plans... *bliss*
Absorbing: my spur-of-the-moment decision last night to shave off my hair. Which I did. At 10.30pm. For the first time in my life. Now it's damn cold and...

yes ~ it is soooo great the way kids just say what they want, and thoroughly enjoy the simplest things. when my neice was a tinybabygirl, her father would rub her little tiny feet every night ~ their little ritual. once she started toddeling, she would go hunt for the foot creme whenever she wanted her daddy time. it was very sweet.
hope yr wellish! are you still teaching, or is the semester finished? i start up again in june, and am really rather looking fwd to it.

Suffering: a massive hangover - ouch.
Haven't been out drinking in a long, long time and I swear I'm getting too old to manage it.
Enjoying: having more time to myself since completing my section of that research report. This weekend has been the first in about 6 months where I have not had to work at least one day. Feels like a holiday...

Feeling: dopey. I've been sleeping too much and it makes me kinda slow for the entire day. Freaky's on night-shifts though and I love having the bed to myself so I go to bed early and then sleep in. Fuck, my life's exciting huh?

Also - in the desert. Outback Australia. Swimming in a gorge in the most beautiful place in the world. Floating on my back and looking up at the red rock walls and blue sky.
Wow. Reminds me of this quarry pit we have mud fights at near my home. The pit is spring fed and ice cold. Our prairie skies are probably similar to yours Outback ones: wide open and absolutely clear. Well absolutely clear except for late on a humid summer evening when we have incredible thunderstorms.

Thanks. Lower lip piercing nice...glad to hear its doing better.
Loving: my new piercing: centre, lower lip. Looks and feels exactly how I wanted it to. Pics will come when I, you know, have a camera and scanner.

yeah, we lived in the P.I. as a kid, which is why i have pacific tendencies. the reason i went to australia was to study japanese, although what i found was that 4 years of american japanese language still did not sufficiently prepare me for the 2nd year language course. ah, well.
thinking about getting the lip done. how is it affecting your teeth?

Wow how exciting I want to go to a big GAY AND LESBIAN MARDI GRAS! SF pride is my fav holiday of the year!
Seeing: the light at the end of the tunnel on this research project on domestic violence in migrant and refugee communities. The bulk of the writing will be done by Friday coming and then it's just editing and formatting. *phew*
Feeling: incredibly humbled by the life experiences of my interview subjects. People who've spent years in refugee camps in Kenya, in detention centres in outback...

What are you studying or working at? It sounds wonderful. 
aster:
i meant to say thanks for your comment of weeks ago! i'm glad you liked the crafty stuff. i want to do more soon, but i need to take a sewing class to get really good.
Getting: very clucky. Spent another day with the nephews yesterday (a 2year old and a 2week old) *sigh*. Babies are sweet.
Sitting: very gingerly after my tumble yesterday - down the stairs on my butt and it's come up a beautiful purple hue.
Appreciating: that a relationship is a partnership. Freaky and I celebrated our 2yr anniversary on Sunday past. Quite a feat for Sprat...

Eating: solids, solids and more solids. Loving 'em. Teeth are healed enough to do so, thank fuck.
Contemplating: a haircut tomorrow. It's been a couple of weeks and I bore quickly, I do. Thinking something darker and maybe girly. I'll let you know how I go if I go - 'cos of course it's riveting information

Wow that's a lot of acronyms.
I've recently gone for the darker-and-girlier route myself, no more redheaded Moss! I feel for you on the hair-boredom thing, I'm afraid I won't make it much longer than shoulder-length before I go nuts.
I'm a little jealous of you folks in the South, Fall is my favorite season!

wooohooo! solids!! aren't they the happiest? this weekend i've barely been able to eat, so i've been juicing, and now this morning i feel like i could eat a small country - so long as it was spicy.
the show was absolutely amazing - i could not be more gratified or humbled than i am about it. i will have to process more before i can fully articulate it. i am thrilled. if yr interested, fellow pe'r, when i make copies of the tape i can send you one ... my sister's husband has a vcr that can make tapes that work in any country. (if that is too much, of course, you can say)
can i just tell you that i LOVE acronyms. LOVE them. and those are fabulous.
any pictures of the new hair? i like the old, of course, but new is always exciting. and yes, it is riveting - at least to me. gah - i'm such a drag queen.
