Today's entry finds me at home due to the impending "hurricane". To say I think work jumped the gun a little yesterday by closing today would be an understatement.  While I enjoy the free day off, I also have stacks of work which by tomorrow will be a mountain with wildfires burning everywhere.  As a born and bred Northerner, I suppose I don't ( Read more... )

I was flipping through a certain fruiT's memories and clicked on an old entry of mine from 2001.  And as I was reading the comments it hit me that I have "LJ-known" most of my friends list for 5+ years.  I have shared more of my life with a bunch of people I've never met (ok, so I've now met quite a few of you), than with half of the people in my " ( Read more... )

You know your life is complete when someone you went out on a date with is on a reality TV show.  You know it's even more complete when everyone else sees that person exactly as you did--a rotten bitch.  My life, and the people that enter it, are truly meant to be a comedy sitcom.  Everybody might love Raymond but let me tell you, every freak loves ( Read more... )

My roommates are most likely moving to Austin, TX very soon. They want me to come with them. Part of me says, "Heeeell no!" and part of me says, "Well, why not?" Can't hurt to try, right? Or can it ( Read more... )

You are the sun, I am the moon, you are the words, I am the tune... play me.

Oh yes indeed.  Who doesn't love Neil Diamond?  Seriously now.  If you said you don't, shame on you.  You are either cold and heartless or well, you are cold and heartless.  Sunday night brought me close to the legend.  There, in his sequined shirt, stood Neil.  Behind ( Read more... )

I've been prone to placing a personal ad or two.  I fully admit it and I am fully ok with you mocking me about it.  The people I've met over the years have been both wonderful and kind and terribly kooky (someday I'll tell you the "fairy mobile" story).  But nevertheless, it's always been an experience and has always provided me with stories to ( Read more... )

I feel... accomplished.  I have pulled more weeds in the past two days than I thought even existed on Earth.  My body is sore, my hands have blisters and little cuts (damn gloves), and my skin is a shade darker but all in all, I feel better doing this than I do sitting in a cubicle.

Speaking of which, interview tomorrow at a place that I ( Read more... )

Even though I was effectively destroyed in air hockey, basketball, skee-ball, pool, and darts, I again had a great night. I think this new attitude is really working wonders for my spirits. It has really hit me over the past couple of weeks just how wonderful a group of friends that I have built up. And though I still may not have a job (though ( Read more... )

Too much fun. Far too much wine. Good people, parties, poker, and a date to play tennis tomorrow. All in all, a night that I really needed. And imagine this, I didn't even want to go. I've said it a million times already but... thank god for my roommates. When I say no, they say, "Uhh, no, you're going." I seriously couldn't ask for better ( Read more... )

It's funny how things go in circles and how people are connected. Out to dinner last night and what nugget of strangeness do I stumble upon? Well, an old ZuluHell co-worker (Girl Next to Me) now directly reports to one of my exes. My, my... small world. I'm always amused when things like that happen. From what I heard last night, she's still ( Read more... )
