good! Im glad!

If that car was at the swap meet I've been going to the wrong swap meet!

Those mornings are the worst, but I always realize that if I get up and get moving, I can usually keep myself distracted from my troubles. Seems like that is what have of my life is, keeping a healthy level of distraction.

It doesn't help that today seems so uninviting. Poor weather for labor day. Winter's coming again.

Haha, I'm going to have to have a talk with that girl.

I'm not planning on visiting per se, I mean I'm always planning on visiting but I have no specific plans. When I do, we will most definitely have to meet since from what I've read and Rin has told me you seem like a pretty interesting person (who apparently writes pretty interesting journals).

I often get accused of lacking compassion, being brutally honest, and not knowing how much power my words have. It's something I can't really help even when I try, but I think (hope) people also appreciate that I never bullshit them, and that they look to me for honest opinions.

TV, Ice cream, and no obligations, I thought that was what a holiday was for.

Yea, I never made it out of the house either. Went to sleep late, woke up early for no apparent reason, and just about the time I was ready to get out of the house, I realized I was exhausted and just said screw it and went back to sleep. Maybe with the extra rest I'll be functional tomorrow. So the day was spent reading my book and fidgeting around with guitar and poems in between bouts of sleep. I like it

I think there is a good reason that I live on the other side of the country. If you, Rin, uproot and I ever got the chance to hang out it would be a wall of seriously harsh snark No one would be safe and retreat would not be an option.

Cool new toys

who the heck buys a car at the swap meet? oh yeah, you do. and it's super pretty!

Interesting necklace. I don't think the zoo lists camels as endangered or anything.
. . . and I thought I was the only person on SG w/o pierced ears. . .

"At least hers is pretty." Beautifully said.

ah well, the car is still gorgeous. holy crap.

this blog actually choked me up a little. are you a writer outside of the blogosphere?


also, your computer has a bad case of double post disease.

"I need it or I will explode! That happens to me sometimes"

Gee thanks, I never thought the sight of a sweet blue Mustang could make me feel sad. However, I absolutely agree with your points in said previous journal.

It's up to you, I guess. Honestly it's one of the most baffling things I've noticed about otherwise rational women.

I knew a girl who was working towards her PhD in cognitive neuroscience. She had degrees in biology and psychology and her life goal was to cure Alzheimer's. In other words she was pretty well put together...except she was dating a guy in jail. You'd at least think this man would be thankful for his good fortune, but he was manipulatve, ungrateful, and disrespectful; the general kind of attitude you'd find from someone that can't keep himself out of prison. "That's just the way I am" he would shrug.

I know another girl that continues to date an alcoholic. They break up occasionally and she tries to have a healthy relationship with someone else, but she always goes back to him. It's become so much of a joke that I made a website for them. I could give you a dozen other examples but I'll spare you.

Of course, it's easy to look at these things objectively, quite another when you're involved. I'm guilty of my own manipulative and unhealthy relationships and the muddled vision you develop in them. I guess it all comes down to will power and learning from your mistakes. I'd like to think I won't make them again.

You think dinner backstage at the RNC, post-Palin, was like this?

I was thinking a bit of your neighbor, particularly here:
"...finish this act
which seemed
to have no ending,

much less meaning."
That blue car in the driveway has haunted me.

That clip's from Freaks. Ever seen it?
