I really hate restaurants and bars where the music is way too loud. I don't mean like at most bars, which is loud, but I'm talking loud beyond that. I went to a Middle Eastern restaurant tonight and they had a belly dancer. The music was so loud I hate to shout to even hear the person sitting next to me. It was much louder than most bars. This ( Read more... )

There's nothing better than coming home from work to find that Barack Obama won!

In response to Alayna's post about the creepy guy she met online, I thought I'd post this. About five or six years ago I met a guy online. We went out once and he seemed normal. Well, as normal as the people I hang out with get. I wasn't really attracted to him, but he didn't seem like a freak or anything like that. That is, until he sent me ( Read more... )

So Jeff finally emailed me on Saturday. He said he saw that I had signed up for an event with Single and the City and he wouldn't mind going to that. Yes, I had signed up but it wasn't just a singles event. If Jeff had actually wanted to do something, I would have skipped it. And do you ask someone on a date to an event you think is a singles ( Read more... )

So, I went out on that date with Jeff last weekend and he sent me an email saying we should go again *soon*. That was on Monday. Thursday I emailed him and asked if he had any plans for Saturday. I didn't get a reply but then I thought that maybe he didn't get it because I had sent it to his work email and he's not at a job where he's at the ( Read more... )

Before I forget it, I have to write down what I do remember about this dream. It was a weird science fiction-like dream that alayna and Gus were in. Other people too, but I don't remember if they were real people. We were in some city (not Atlanta) sitting at a café. Then Alayna had left and was calling me from a parking garage nearby. I think she ( Read more... )

from Spain and back from Cincinnati. I forgot how un-ergonomic my parents' computer is so I didn't end up spending any time writing on LJ. I had a great time but I'll have to write about that when I actually have more than a few minutes. I didn't gain any weight--I must have sweated off all the calories I gained eating ten tons of bread there ( Read more... )

For those who don't know, I'm off to Cincinnati tomorrow. Not looking forward to the 7 hour drive. Mom and Dad are watching the dogs while I go to Spain! I'm flying to Madrid Sunday, then back the following Monday. Then I'll be in Cincinnati for three whole days and since I'll probably be very bored, I'll actually be able to update LJ. I've never ( Read more... )

because he's the only one who's going to understand how excited I am about the book that just arrived in the mail. Back when I was a poor college student, I would sell whatever books I could at the end of the semester. A lot of them I would have liked to have kept but I was desperate for money (something that hasn't changed since then either). ( Read more... )

I really should be doing homework right now, but instead I'm going to write about soft porn. No, really. Today was the end of my six free months of HBO, Cinemax, and Starz. So, no more soft porn, ha ha. Having seen very little porn of any sort, I found it amusing. Amusing in a non-sexual way. Where should I start? I wonder what type of ( Read more... )
