so... dawning was fanastic. other news:
panda fish is dead. he was a little guy who never ate very much, but it was still a bit unexpected. he looked very peaceful, though, not like dead upsidedownfish. that close-range nearsighted glimpse i got when i first found out that upsidedownfish was dead... gaaaah.
the hot water in our shower will not turn off - there's currrently...

Just wanted to say hi, and to see how you are doing. I hope well and I hope you arent overdoing yourself again, you need sleep
the kind of day it's been? well, i got up in the morning late-ish, round 11:30, and the first thing i did was get up and walk over to the bathroom, where i proceeded to fall asleep again - standing up. i was losing consciousness but somehow still tottering on my feet like a dancing bear, trying to stay upright - i don't know whether...

I really hate it when I get into one of these goto loops where I say something to someone that hit "SUBMITE COMMENT" then think of something else I wanted to say.
i should've gone to sleep at least three hours ago. geh!
things that are new:
- have finished out this week more upbeat and cheerful-like than i've been lately. go me.
- spent time with people this week. hung out with the cool ariel as well as an old roommate of mine, various mage-playing friends, newish acquaintences (dammit, can't spell and too tired to bother...

Sleep is for the weak. A third of your life, just wasted. Think about it, you could actually live with twice the intensity if we didnt have to stop and recharge once and awhile. It is sad.
Glad to hear things are going well, summer days are here!

got my business cards yesterday... gah, i'm just so corporate. i should bring them home and show em around, i guess.
had good dreams this last night... dreamed i had a multitude of contact lenses of different shapes and styles, so many that my original ones were nearly lost in the pile. but somehow i was able to keep them straight....

no no, I don't want to sleep anymore - call me or IM!
the sickness came earlier this week... was worried it was strep, but then my entire head clogged up and i developed a hacking/rumbling cough. i've still got it, but it's on it's way out, hooray. my flounder is sick, too - his fins are coming off slightly on one side, but i'm treating it aggressively and the medicine seems to be holding his fin loss...

A mystic told my mother
before I was born
that I was once a mermaid
and that I should stay away from the Atlantic,
because it will try to call me back.
I have not yet been able to test it
because I haven't been close enough to it.
But I dream about it sometimes.

sorry to hear that your sick, where in the club were you standin. the few of the sg peeps i ran into were down in front and to the left of the stage, then we moved to the middle of the balcony during the last part of the show.
OO i rem. one of my dreams today, its sad though i died tryin to save my exgirlfriend. some how we got lost in richmond and our car broke down so we started walkin down the block we were on. we rounded a corner and there were all these thugs beatin the crap out of each other, sarah paniced screamed and started to run which made everyone's attention turn to us. they started to chase us and started shootin at us for some reason, i pushed her to the ground and layed on top of her so she wouldnt get hit. and i remember something smacking my head and my shirt being wet. i touched my head to see what it was and i realized that i was shot in the ear and it came out the back of my head, blood was everywhere right after i realized that i collapsed on sarah and woke up.
it makes me wonder what it all means

on syrup: while grocery shopping the other day we went to get maple syrup, which i have not personally owned ever before. i was torn between the cheaper aunt jemimah's and the expensive gorgeous 100% pure maple syrup. i like to thoroughly douse things in maple syrup, but i wouldn't be able to bring myself to just puddle away the precious 100% stuff. in fact,...

1: What is the syrup content of Mrs. Butterworth's
Did you look, do you remember?
2: Do you only like Goth Dancing?
What about Square dancing or Freak Nasty dancing?
3: I think my neck is strong from sit-ups, also.
Which is good
because I have a very large and heavy head.
4: I know what you mean about the collaborators.
Only my problem is that I just want to do it myself
in the end when I realize
that's the only way it will get done right.
Plus, I pretty much hate everyone.

hope the SGB show was fun 
* fatespawn got me a new fish! is a flounder, a fantastic flat fish with both its eyes migrated to one side of its head and sticking up as little bumps, and its mouth off-centered on the other side. when he swims he glides like a little magic carpet. so cool. was thinking of naming him something along the lines of mobius, but then fatespawn...

Flapjack is a quite awesome name, congrats to yourself and 'spawn.
I think the fear of the eye's and teeth are bourne from the fact that they are not replacable. We have made leaps and bounds in terms of optical enhancement and replacement, but the fact is, when one of those things go , more often than not they go for good. I, many times, have hurt myself rather well but have shrugged it off in the long run knowing I would heal in time from it. Losing a tooth, or gods be good, my eyesight would frighten me completely because I would know I would be losing something that would never come back.
My .02 of course.

sounds like a fun time had by all. good luck with the new fish, just dont eat it til it gets good and fatten up. hope the summer is treating you well and that work isnt overtaking everything lol. Anyway just wanted to say hi
have had a nervous tic in the muscles of my right eye, on and off but with disturbing frequency, for about two months now. perhaps if this keeps up my right eye will become stronger and more toned, and i'll finally master the art of the right-eye-wink. currently, i can only wink with my left. so there's a silver lining to every cloud.

I would have just made up a really obscure name on the spot and left it at that. Failing that, he would have been destroyed for security reasons.

asteroth is dead. he was the black and thorny caterpillar, earned his name only yesterday. i learned from J.O.D. that he's actually got a really nasty poison in those spikes of his, and can make a person's entire arm swell up uber-painfully to great size. which is pretty cool, seeing as that didn't happen to me. it would have been somewhat less cool if it...

auf. my legs feel like they're dangling in pieces. awesome dawning; my socks are soaked through. whoooooooooooo!
methinks the dancing bit is coming back to me much better. legs ached even before the dawning, but they held up fine through many songs. music selection was great. my choice of clothing... eh, poor, but i liked it anyway: have this thrift-store multi-layered hankerchief skirt that's much...

whoa...one of the hottest profiley pics EVER!!!
And yes, haircutters will always err on the side of long, because you can always have them make it shorter, but getting it longer is a lot harder. Try finding a pic of a style you like or Photoshopping one of yourself to see what you'd look like with various styles if you're having trouble deciding.
I think long hair is sexy, especially down to the waist or lower. This is a huge pain to manage, so few people have it. Ah, well...
