Forgive me Livejournal for I have sinned. It has been... over 3 years since my last confession?!?!? Huh. I checked back a few pages and it seems like the most prominent posters on my Flist are George R.R. Martin and Wil Wheaton. How strange. I wonder why they still keep a livejournal, acutually I wonder why people still continue here in genereal, ( Read more... )

My birthday's coming and I feel a bit blue. The last few years I've had a brilliant birthday bbq which has made me quite happy with umbrella drinks and burgers and hot dogs in the snow. For some reason I'm just not into it this year - maybe next year. Anyway, the day approaches and I have nothing planned and don't know if I want to have anything ( Read more... )

I'm sick right now. It's like me and C play leapfrog with catching colds. For some reason, after a bug has been in his body I WILL get sick. I don't get it. I was sick just a few weeks ago and no one else caught anything, so why me? Nothing to do for it but wait it out. I went into work today a little late to catch a bit of extra Z's but by the end ( Read more... )

I have been eagerly awaiting cute new shoes that I bought on Ebay. They arrived yesterday but I wasn't there to receive them. My partner stayed home sick today and I figured he could receive them for me. I was chanting "shoes shoes shoes" as I pulled up to my house. I saw the DHL tag on the door and no package awaiting me. "I guess they didn't come ( Read more... )

I keep telling myself and others that I'd like to find my way back here. That I'd like to write more. That I'd like to write at ALL, to go through the process of collecting and gathering my thoughts and committing them to virtual paper. Of course things come up, I distract myself with this that and the other and I forget about it ( Read more... )

Just got back from Breitenbush and seriously, I can't settle down and get to bed. So many amazing, confusing, unexpected, curious things have come my way that I almost don't know what to do with myself.

Let me start at the end, shall I? Just now before I got to my house I swear I saw a big white owl flying low over Marine Way, across my path and ( Read more... )

Sigh. C was sick most of this week and last night I felt it starting for me at the back of my throat. The recipe for wellness? Superdoses of Vit C, sleep, warmth and fluids. That's what needs to happen. I hope I'm sick all weekend and better for work on Monday. Wish me luck ( Read more... )

Feeling vaguely unsettled today, but otherwise doing well ( Read more... )

This year is my year - the year of the tiger. Any other tigers out there? Anyone have any Chinese new year info to share?

Popped back here the other day and wow, something about this place feels like home. I like how my page here is all dark and cozy instead of the sterile, homogenous whitey mc white white of ipods, macs and facebook. I like how I have history here. It's a shock to recall that I started LJ in 2001 - nearly a decade ago. I miss the insight and the ( Read more... )
