Moody Meow

It just dawned on me that we left Florida a year ago. We’ve missed a year of tropical storms, mosquitoes, palmetto bugs, opossums (sort of…they have them in OR too), shitty drivers, rising crime, and bazillion dollar electric bills from running the AC. And on many fronts, a year of silence. It’s partially my fault. [...]

I need to know by the end of today. I spoke with the lady from Spirit Cruises. She can reserve for up to 8, but not for long. We would all have to call in with our credit cards to reserve seats and the price would go up because of the size of the party [...]

He dealt with Valentine pissing in the house, in my Chrome bag, in the sink. And I thanked him profusely for giving the cat his meds. Val uses his claws, and tore the hell out of D’s arm. D vacuumed before I got home, and is generally an all around saint…but he forgot to water [...]

Heading home tomorrow…. and I am happy about it. But it’s been a great residency. I’m just over-tired and in need of a hug.
So, wish me well…. for now, I go to bed.

Flight leaves at 10. I will meet my schoolmates around 11 tomorrow morning. I just realized how much I’ve missed them.
Thank you Amanda for the clarity.
Thank you Cat, for a lovely evening, good conversation and being willing to go adventuring to new restaurants with me and D.
We found Trebol, I heart that place. The margarita/tequila [...]

slept through the rose parade.
woke up after 1 on Saturday.
feel strangely guilty for sleeping most of the day away.
played Halo twice.
made a pact with D regarding drinking.
am making preparations for my Grannie’s passing. It’s imminent now.
not sad that she’s going to die, just sad that we couldn’t have been closer.
am proud of myself because we [...]

In my sad attempts to try and eat healthier, I went to Subway for lunch the other day. Chill. I wasn’t anywhere near Portland, otherwise I would have stopped in on one of my favorite restaurants. Every Wednesday I drive to Battle Ground for a meeting, during the lunch hour, and they don’t have much [...]

I did you wrong as a roommate and a friend. We were young, and I never apologized. I learned to  never let a man ruin a friendship. He wasn’t worth it.

I’m going to be phone-scarce for a while. I smoke when I:

play video games
talk on the phone
am stressed
am manic
am depressed
need a break from the beagles
hear other people smoking
see other people smoking

You get the picture. Have patience. I need this to work

Thwap - that’s what this would sound like. When I was half asleep, trying to wake up and uncurl myself from around a particularly cute pile of beagles, I listened to the morning talking heads chewing on this story with a kind of sick relish.  What do I think about this?
Fucking duh!
But I am now [...]

So named for the gifts, not the drug use. My first geek admirer, too bad you were a creep and made my life hell. I traded in those D&D books asshole..

When we moved into this house, we were excited. The pictures didn’t do the kitchen justice. It’s quite large. The granite counter tops, lovely. But once you live in a space, you find the dangerous bits, the areas where you should tread lightly for fear of rabid opossums or low-hanging ceilings just waiting for a [...]

I was negligent in linking back to Claire, who began this thing. Sorry
And now, to the silliness….
What were you doing five years ago?
May of 2003:
1) Living in the duplex in the Delaney Park neighborhood of Orlando.
2.) Still able to drink a gallon of wine with D without getting wicked hung over.
3.) Going [...]

Slept like shit
Woke up and used the elliptical
My girly bits are sore from yesterday’s ride. I decided not to wear bike shorts underneath my spiffy pants.
Our home improvements from the weekend have made the house look better.
We still have to put another screen door up on the back door.
If it looks nice - D wants [...]

Beautiful, dangerous, primal, strong enough to dominate me. Do you know why I didn’t choose you? When you gave me my Valentine’s Day card, I saw someone else’s name scratched out.

Birthmother, wise eyes, sweet smelling office, you guided me down the path, and let me find my own way. You told me I’m not alone. I think I finally believe you.

This has to be one of the funniest essays I’ve ever read. Of course it piqued my interest because I’m a vegetarian, but honestly, it speaks the truth. Living in Portland, I’m spoiled by the many choices out there. And I know full well that when I go back East for school I’ll be living [...]

Brilliant, loud, enthusiastic, warm, a gifted professor. You inspired me to become a fearless writer. Besides David, were the only one who liked my shaved head. And you gave me gold.

I didn’t ride to work.
I had nightmares all last night, and D said I woke him up screaming “I hate you!” in the middle of the night. My weeks is not starting off as smoothly as I’d hoped.
The glasses thing really bugs the shit out of me. I can’t see. I’m going to get a [...]

was not impressed with Ironman, but D liked it. B was entertained as well. Oh well, at least I got to see the trailers for Indy and Batman.
The weather is amazing right now. Sunny, clear and just cool enough to keep you from overheating.
Making progress on the school stuff.
Saw Amandapants @ Cup and Saucer and [...]
