so last night i totally bought new climbing shoes that i don't even need. except there was a shoe demo event and i tried them (and like 5 other kinds of shoes too) and they edge so much better and smear better and are crazy precise and i had no idea how sloppy my existing shoes are till i tried a better quality performance shoe. And suddenly i ( Read more... )

plans are materializing. not a minute too soon. took mom to lunch today (had a $50 gift certificate from work that i figured i'd better use while i still worked there) and we both had to lie to my dad so he wouldn't pitch a fit, and then later at home we both had to sample his cooking despite our lack of hunger for the same reason. also got to ( Read more... )

i give up. the whole point of staying till june was to take advantage of the money to be made during florida's tourist season -- typically february through easter, extending as late as mother's day. however, between the economy, the crappy weather, the mismanagement of my restaurant, and the sexist politics there, i'm not making close to the ( Read more... )

lots of stuff i want to say, don't have the emotional reserves to talk about anything important or craft the prose i want to talk about the other stuff. working a ton right now (12 shifts a week) so free time is at a minimum and spent the day with a puking hangover like a fucking genius (which also means i missed my one day a week of good climbing ( Read more... )

meant to include this in last night's list of shorts, but my bank account just added another digit, i am over $10k saved for new york. yay me ( Read more... )

hell-no-boy popped up last night on fb chat, trying to start up more of the sexytalk. yeah, you may be pretty and have stellar legs, but sorry, not here for your sexual gratification, doof. you lose ( Read more... )

frustrating day at work today (i would enjoy my job so much more if it weren't for my coworkers - i mean really, when the customers are nicer it's a little unreal), so i decided i wanted a drink. so i went to my old standby, the mexican place where they have the aerial shows - you know, the aerial shows where the performers are girls from the ( Read more... )

well, it was.. pretty much what i expected. he actually reminds me somewhat of my ex patrick, and that's generally not a good thing. clearly not someone who cares about food, which is frankly important to me. and man, i should have just said yes to panera, the place we went to was possibly worse. i even called him out on going there instead of the ( Read more... )

so apparently my texting gaffe was either not so bad or overlooked or i made a good save of it, but in any case, i've got a lunch date with mr rock climbing on thursday (he works nights, so dinner isn't an option). which also makes me realize it's been years, really, since i've been on a date. didn't do that with altwin, don't think i've done it ( Read more... )

had a great, great night rock climbing yesterday. started talking to the guy climbing the route next to me (we were both frustrated) and ended up talking for the next 3 hours, good witty verbal sparring the whole time, just the way i like it, he volunteered to break out his harness so we could do some belaying together, and before i left he gave me ( Read more... )
