I noticed when I was at RISD that I could be verbally creative or visually creative but not both during the same span of time- school year was art and summers were writing.

Everyone's always looked at me funny for saying that. What are you, my long lost twin?

It saddens me because I can't recapture it. I'd like to read it again. Really, what's odd about that?

I save all written correspondence, most cards, and significant emails. Not just chitchat, though. I love this site for that, too. Kind of a record of friendships formed.

The money was in my To Be Hung Up pile. I knew it had to be in one of them.

Actually, my mom can be a bit of a wing nut. In the best possible way. She is most definitely what you'd call eccentric, but she's as charming and sweet as can be. And she's generally got her shit together, regardless of the wild kicks she goes on.

I was actually attracted to the idea of keeping crickets more for the charm and quaintness of it than for the luck aspect, although any help in that direction is always welcome, you know?

Yeah, I definitely have my cycles. My life is usually delineated into very obvious "chapters," I guess you could say. And I tend to work and work and work and work and then crash and then work and work and work and then crash. Maybe that's what you mean by cycles. I find cycles in every level of my life. More like spirals than circles, though.

my cycles deal more with mindsets than actions--like i'll go for a couple of weeks feeling like anything is possible, and making plans in my mind, but not really acting on them.....and then i get kind of down on myself for not acting on the plans, and i spend a couple of weeks feeling sort of depressed and hopeless. sheesh.

in other news, i want to tell you that i appreciate your friendship. you are consistent, and that is an important quality in a friend.
much *like* is sent your way, tj.

p.s. how'd it go today????

...sigh......no tj again tonight. good for you for having a life, ya know! i'm jealous!

*scampers over and jumps up on your lap and licks your entire face until you giggle*

....oh wait--that's what a puppy does when it's master comes home....

i'm lonely. i went from horny to lonely. ugh.
how'd your interview go?

wow! cool beer event!

bummer on the transportation thing. maybe the local job is sounding a little better??

wow, but struggling to meet THAT deadline is worth it! go for it k! you can do it!
*gets out pom poms and does a cheer*

i didn't go from h to L tonight, i was h yesterday and L today.
poor invisigirl....she just needs a goddamn HUG!!! just one fuckin' HUG!! arrrgggggghhhhhh!!!!

thanks, cutie! you're the best!

i think i've been getting kind of sad that people i like live far away and i can't hang out with them in real life, and people i meet in real life get on my nerves.

if the job pays well enough, maybe it will cover a car payment? you could use your mom's car at first, until you find a car to buy.........perhaps?

yeah, i hate it when i'm all needy on the same day that someone else is all stressed, and we don't seem to *connect* like we sometimes do.

I tend to flit. Arranging flowers, then crochet, maybe next it'll be plants, photography, meditative things I think is the underlying theme.

Okay, you're officially Well-rounded. I totally agree about wanting to walk away from it all some time. Move out to the coast, go sell plants from my house, walk on the beach all day. As soon as we pay off all those things first, I tell you what...

i had some bad dreams last night.

i hope you are rested and refreshed this fine morning!
see ya later!
