I was interviewed by a guy for an oral history documentary (www.bodegavision.com). We played connect4 and talked out @ Riverfront Park. I kinda wished I hadn't done it. I guess i'm more private than I thought and it got me thinking about things I hadn't thought about in a while which was kind of hard.
Oh well, too late now.

I was in the parade last night, as part of the book truck brigade. It was actually pretty fun. And difficult. Amazingly enough it didn't rain.

ok, that's enough

Well, I just spent a ridiculous amount of time messing around with how my journal looks.  I'd choose something only to find that its text was too small for my old lady eyes to read from my chair.

So here's what I've been doing. I finally moved out of my parents' house, which was good for me.  Then I moved in again, which was ok.  And then I moved out again, which was good.  i want to buy a house, but my money management has not been the best of late, so I drool over homes and try to behave myself financially.

I've been working as a youth services librarian for about a year at the downtown library, which I really like.  But I do think that working with the public as I do has made me something of a hermit.  I've always been kind of a homebody anyway, but it's worse now.  I did spend a chunk of time at Riverfront Park yesterday.  It was really nice - maybe the sunshine will convince me to leave my cave.

I just found out I might be in a documentary.  And I know I will be doing a spot for city cable.  I'm a little worried it'll be hideous, but if it is I'll just ignore it.

I recently spent three weeks in Thailand.  I hadn't been in 13 years, so it was really good to go and see family I wasn't sure I'd see again.  It was damn hot though.  I also got to see lots of elephants up close and personal.  It was terribly super.  I took about 1500 pictures (some were pictures of flowers for my mom, though.  She's taken to painting).  Some things about the trip weren't so wonderful, but I survived :)

That's the gist of it.  I should be cleaning up my spare room now.  It currently serves as the 'stuff repository' which renders it almost unusable.  How did I end up with so much stuff?

After completing a distance education program that involved being online quite a bit, I have rebelled by ignoring my computer.   I might be ready to enter the cyberworld again. I'll have to start by updating my profile.  I'm not 25 anymore...

My heart breaks and I hate it.

I really didn't mean to post that just now. My brain is no longer cooperating. I am so excited I don't have to go anywhere for the rest of the year. One more homework assignment and that's it.

so i guess i could put up soe sort of update-y thing. I am still working at the library, and will continue to do so after the first of the new year despite all the budget ickiness. I go to school, I have a boy. that's pretty much all I do. I suddenly find the effort of doing this very difficult, so I am going to quit now.

I'm hoping I'll post more. I miss checking in with everyone.

bye

Hi everyone. I haven't posted in forever and forever. I think I feel guilty being on the computer if I'm not doing school stuff or something because I'm reallly good at not doing my homework. I should be doing some now, but I just had a class weekend so I don't really feel like I have to. I'm stuck in the airport. My flight was supposed to go at 5:30, but there was something wrong with the plane (i believe they fixed it now) and now I'm leaving at 7:30. I'm tired and I wanted to watch that stupid librarian quest for the spear movie at 8 tonight. Sure it's on at ten but I wanted to watch it at 8, dammit!

Hey folks, here I am again. Since my last post I've gone to New Orleans with David. It was fabulous, and we still like each other. Things are even better, i would venture to say. It was good to see Cristela and see some places I'd never been. or hadn't been to in years. I think I'm still recovering a bit though. i've been pretty tired these past few days. maybe that's just laziness. I'm not thinking very well at the moment. I think I will watch a movie.

Somehow I've gotten sick again. Or maybe I've already complained about that. I don't know. Yesterday I was very good and I cleaned. I also made one mat for a picture. Of course there was no homework getting done, but that's alright. Now I'm settling in to do my taxes and finish my laundry. And drink more juice. I love juice.

I got two calls to work as a sub today. i said no. No extra money for me. If I'm sick doesn't that mean I should sleep a lot or something? hmmm....

I hope spooky doesn't catch any squirrels or birds today. that's just gross.

A full day for me. I got to see crafty things and I spent too much money, and I went to the kosher dinner with library people. but then i discovered how much of an idiot i really am when I found out i locked myself out of the house. Which was reallly a good thing, because then I got to see my darling friends. I hadn't seen them in forever and I really have no idea what's going on with them because I don't check livejournal often enough and blah blah blah. I got yelled at for that. Anyway, we had enjoyable talks and i remembered how good it was to be around them. Thank you my pretties, for letting me be a gropey monkey. although it's not like you had a choice. And I had to do it to everyone--equal opportunity and whatnot.

I'm going to go now. I have a very important phone call to make. ;)

Here I am again, popping up ever so infrequently. The time I have to spend on the computer for school makes me not willing to do other computery things. But I've gotten a technology upgrade so i'm more likely to play online more.

News to report--
school is scary, I really tend to doubt myself as a student, but that's mostly because I know I'm not doing the work I should be doing. And that's really up to me to fix. I can't wait to be done with it so I can enjoy "normal" people life, where reading isn't such a guilty pleasure.

I have a very nice boy who takes good care of me. For a while I had two, and that was oh so stressful. I don't see how the Springer people do it.

That's my quick update for now. I have to do some shopping and make my way downtown so I can do some final research stuff for my presention due this weekend. Think happy thoughts for me!!! :)

Before last night, everything was wonderful and gay. I got to see Rufus do a fantastic show. I saw Aaron and Kyle and things were great. And then last night my sister's boyfriend calls from London. He couldn't find her, and he thought she had run off with some bartender so he was just going to go back to L.A. He said he had the police looking for her, but then she called from some guy's house. She finally called us at 4 this morning. How scary, to have a missing sister. Now that we know she's ok: HOW RIDICULOUS.
He was so upset on his way to the airport my mom couldn't even get a word in edgewise. I know he must have been hurt, but I can't believe he was just going to leave her there. All of the horrible things that played through my mind....

blah

I'm back to my life again. As usual, I'm not thrilled about it, but I'm sure I'll settle right in. I'm very tired, and I have a lot to do tomorrow. So I guess that's it for this post. bye

So I'm in Pittsburgh, and I'm having a lovely time with my darling friends -- Michelle and Cristela. And of course there's the sweet sweet nealey and the little cutey ben. I got a little bit of stuff done for school, but it is so hard with everyone here. I want to stay until Sunday, but i didn't do that to begin with because a ticket on Sunday would have cost $100 dollars more, at least. But I'm happy to be here. It's like I never really left. These really are *my* people. I want to kiss them all.

I guess i could help Michelle with the turkey glaze. This will be so lovely!!!
Happy days to you, folks.

Hey folks!
I'm back. My absence was due to a painfully slow internet connection and the whole "school thing" Even now, I can feel the pull of the books. I have a project due next weekend and I'm really not where I should be. So i just wanted to say hi, and... stuff. later.

Rufus has a new cd out in September. i am so very excited!!!!!

I haven't been keeping up on my friends page too well lately. I tend to be rather lax when it comes to my online time. I'll have to fix that with all this school stuff. Time to be motivated.

What I've been up to-- I went on a last minute trip to Missoula with CJ. and we've been hanging out a lot. It'll be difficult to just be by myself again all the time when he leaves, but I suppose I'll just get used to it, as I was before. I might be taking spooky to the vet tomorrow. He got pretty skinny all of a sudden and doesn't seem to want to eat much lately. Hopefully he's just finding food outside and is skinny because he runs around. I don' t know what I would do without him.

I'll be going to Portland for two weekends in a row - orientation and first week of classes. I'm not as worried as i thought I might be. I guess I've just got stuff to think about so I'm not wasting time on silly thoughts.

on the way home the other day I saw a tree I hadn't reallly noticed before. It was so beautiful with the sky behind it. I had the photographic urge, which was exciting for me because i haven't really been feeling that lately.

This week has been an odd one with boys at work. I must be buzzing with extra energy or something because 5 or 6 of them have been really obvious about their interest (not in "me" so much as my outer manifestations). But there were some cute boys that i was happy to talk to. YAY. maybe i'll meet some nice ones in portland. ;)

Apparently my sisters were accosted by an elderly woman in Nordstrom yesterday. She started fawning over them and petting Siri's hair. Very strange. Eventually they just ran away.

And last but not least: I have developed this huge raging lustful crush on Hugh Laurie. It's just that he's so gosh durned funny. yum yum.

So my sister's boyfriend was in town this weekend. It was very interesting. I like him well enough, but having them be all cutesy and coupley kind of pissed me off so i was rather grumpy for a bit. Plus all this living at home stuff has me feeling rather surveilled even though i don't actually go out and do anything. I know if I did do stuff I would be, what? questioned, i guess. I know it all comes out of concern, but godammit leave me alone. I need to get out of this house.

I'm about to reorder checks. I'm very excited. I seem to take it as an artistic endeavor or something. it's ridiculous, but it'll have to suffice for now.

I sort of feel as though I've accomplished some necessary things today. which is good since i've been having long days. All of my lazy tendencies make me feel rather worthless. So I guess I should work on that :)

My feet are really cold.

I am finally cleaning up my hotmail inbox. But looking at the screen for so long is making me feel icky.

I have officially discovered that the priority date for financial aid was in march, but I hadn't even decided where I was going to apply back then so I guess it's ok that I didn't do it, but I no longer have an excuse. I'm not even worried for some reason, even though I *need* financial aid. Maybe that's the part of me that doesn't particularly want to go back to school. I had lovely coffee time with lovely ladies, and a couple of lovely gentlemen. I almost didn't go because I have been tired of late and I was not really wanting to deal with the bus, but a wonderful wonderful lady brought me home. :)
I am happy that I do not have to pick my sister up from work tonight (usually at midnight) since I have to get up early tomorrow. In fact I need to get a couple more things done on this goshdurned internet and then I am running away from computer. I feel like I did after playing too much sims--kinda gross. urgh i sleepy.

Oh, and i meant to say that the story of the adult conjoined twins has made me very very sad. I mourn them.
