The Great Friend Hunt, Part Deux
We're supposed to have a potluck picnic in the park tomorrow with the various family-groups we're slowly attempting to mush into a Village. I am estimating a turnout of half the attendees who expressed excitement in being there, because that's usually the number that comes to any get-together I organize. I've given up on thinking it's due to some ( Read more... ) -
The Great Friend Hunt, Part 1
I suppose it's a bit of poetic....something, that when I move back to the place where I grew up, I would have difficulty finding good friends. After all, I had rather a lot of trouble finding good friends when I was growing up, too, albeit for entirely different reasons. Now I'm older, far better at socializing, and somewhat in control of my ( Read more... ) -
Real holographic simulated Evil Lincoln is back!
You know you're getting older when you decide that you're tired of the craziness of a vast majority of social media and retreat back to the (relative) sanity of your LiveJournal ( Read more... ) -
Let's recap:

A damned decent proposal
Auriel and I went to Iowa City this past weekend, so I could visit old friends and he could see my old stamping grounds ( Read more... ) -
Update to end all updates
...well, probably not end, per se, but this is going to be rather epic. I can't even believe how much has happened in the last few months, not to mention the past two years. You probably won't either, but I'm laying it out there for...some reason. Possibly pure narcissism, but more likely because in a year or two I'll be back here, reading this ( Read more... ) -
The end is the beginning is the end?
My friend Auriel (who none of you know unless you've met him, or are reading this on Facebook and happen to have run across his page) sent me a link to his blog today, as an example of what he was like in his 20s (as he's been writing in it for the better part of a decade). In return, I sent him a link to my Livejournal; as is the norm for me when ( Read more... ) -
My worstest injury ever! (The saga continues)
So yeah, this definitely goes down in history as the worst I've ever hurt myself, at least in terms of how much medical attention I've had to receive ( Read more... ) -
Wow, I did a real number on myself this time.
I'd originally thought, this last time that I cut myself at work, that it wasn't too bad. I even fought going to the hospital. Then the doctor told me I'd nicked (and therefore caused a rip in) the tendon on top of my thumb. I had three stitches put into the tendon to reconnect the ripped portions, four stitches to reconnect the muscle, and four ( Read more... ) -
I'm not usually this accident-prone..
..no, honest! Barely two weeks after smacking my head open against a truck, I manage to chop off part of my right index finger while chiffonade-ing spinach at work. On the plus side, I don't have to pay for the hospital trip for this one. On the other plus side, I have a groovy wound to play with again. However, even though I'm left-handed, I DO ( Read more... )
