Glance at a woman on a train platform.
Suddenly we've been married for years.
I know all the delicate nuances
in her nine dialects of silence.
Can pick her from a thousand others
just with a sniff of her neck.
We sit next to each other, as we always have.
Our elbows touch, like the tips of matches.
Exactly the way...

Ack, that sounds like a horrid dream. I really don't like those dreams. 
(hence why you called it a nightmare - damn, I'm quick.)
See you Saturday!
Are you coming for funnel cake sundaes, too?

Time for an update I suppose. Not much terribly new going on over here. Another day another dollar I guess. I just qualified for benefits at work so now I have the task of deciphering my options and deciding what plans to go with. If anybody has the word on doctors in the area...

yeah.. so I guess I'm past due for an update. I just don't really have much to report, sue me.
I've sort of settled into the groove of this new work schedule. I should probably find something to do with my days now that they're free, but I've been lazy this past week. I kind of deserve the break though, so I don't feel too...

hi!
doublec:
me, answer my own question?? ok...how about in my next journal?
So I've been on this string of Wednesday updates. I can't promise this will be a regular thing, but what the hell. I might as well go with it for now.
So I'm supposed to be writing about women here, as I promised. I had a nice philosophical discussion with one of my coworkers earlier this week that put a lot of things into perspective...

All I can say is at least you're questioning and not blindly wandering along. I repeated so many horrible dating patterns before I realized that, for me, the issue was self-esteem. It's very cool that you're actually looking at your patterns and trying to figure out what's positive for you.
I think if you continue to do things you're interested in and be passionate about life that when you stop looking, she'll be standing there looking at you.

wish i had some commentary to give but you've pretty much heard my angle already...be it, in shortened form via IM spurts
i think it's smart that you're giving a lot of thought to all this though, instead of just falling into a relationship withthe next girl that comes along...too many people in this world do that just to be with someone...yes, it's nice to have company...but being with someone just for that purpose usually doesn't work out so well
i always love to hear what people are looking for in a mate and your list has inspired me...think i'll add to my journal and ask that question...thanks!
hope that (aside from the love to give and no one to give it to situation) you're doing great!

There's waaaay too much alcohol at my place right now. Especially considering I only really drink in social settings. I might have to introduce the nightcap into my life just to start working some of it down. Or you guys can come drink it up if you want.
Currently in my bar (all bottles 750ml or more):
3/4 bottle of Grey Goose Vodka
3/4 bottle...

Based on your alcohol list alone it sounds as if you had a good party.
Dude, I'm never up that late/early anymore. Hard on the old ticker.

Product of Society, Promise of Skill. etc. The man's an enigma
So I think it's about time for some real introspective writing here, but I'm still somewhat formulating my thoughts around what I want to write about, so I'll save that for next time. Apparently a lot of you watch this space waiting for me to say something of substance based upon the spike in coments I get whenever I write something vaguely personal, so this...

I'd like to, but my boss's wife's birthday party will take up a good part of that night [not as bad as it sounds - they're basically the same age]. maybe late. we'll see what can be done.

Anyone in particular you're hoping to catch the attention of?
Alrightty then, I have officially started working overnights at the job. I get off at 3 in the morning right now so I come home, dick around online for about an hour and a half and then usually sleep until about noon or so, so I have the daytime to get shit accomplished. I need my internal clock to reset though so that I quit...

I feel so empty that I only recognized Eddie Vedder's name in your whole story. IR lame.
And if you're planning a relationship rant a week in advance, I'm kinda scared

Alrightty then. What's been going on in my life this past week or so.
Wednesday I hung out with capnvik and blackhoodie while they were waiting to see Superman returns. I had already planned to see it later in the week, so I was just wasting some time since Mann's Chinese is right down the street from where I work. EricAllen and Jujubee showed up...

i sent an email to my friend Margaret, to see if she is interested in the ticket...face value? i casn't fuckin' wait!! to see you sunday, i mean!
Can't get the stink off
it's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Circles you and not your friends
One day I'll get to you
And teach you how to be a Holy Cow
You do it to yourself, you do
and that's what really hurts
You do it to yourself, just you
You and no one else
You do it to yourself...

I took it relatively easy this week. I was literally the only person working in the office from my department this week due to one guy being on vacation, 2 people working on offsite projects and another one not really being good for anything pertinent.
I didn't go out at all. I bought a new hard drive last weekend so most nights...
