I'm crossing my fingers, I finally found the apartment I was looking for, and it sounds like I'm going to get it, though I don't know yet whether I'll have to pay last as well as the first, deposit, and pet deposit. I kind of hope not because then I'd be way ahead by this time in two months. But then again, not having to...

Yup, I'm tired of doubt, of angst, of financial and emotional difficulties. Change takes so damned much time, though. I keep thinking of that John Lennon song about hard times being over for awhile. Wouldn't that be nice?
Karaoke was cool last night, I can tell y'all are decent folks, and I wish wasn't quite so akward around people I don't know, but that's how...

al:
I'll take just about anything right now. Where is it?
freckle:
well you'll just have to come out more, then you'll know us... problem solved 
Alright, I just got back from my first 'SG event'. My impressions? It started out with a tackle-hug from Freckle, which was one helluva welcome (thanks, hon.) and then I met Dreammaker, Roxy, and some others whom I don't know the pseudonyms of. They were friendly and lovely but me, I was too tired and godawful shy to say much. Ric and Erin showed up...

amen
freckle:
forgoing the matrix!?! damn we feel special now 
I like the straight shooters; the honest, positive people in life who don't insist on dragging others down. Those sort of people rock my world and thank the guides for the ones I know. The rest of them can kiss my ass as I walk away and let them fall into the morass they chose to make for themselves.

i can a little bit ~ and when i look all the way to one side or the other. but alas, you see it a lot less than you'd think. hehe.
Strangely enough all my pics went -ffpt- but you're in luck. Or so I'd like to think. You see I posted some new pics (and a couple of the old ones) which I thought were rather pretty. Take a look if you've got the time.
Also, I'm wondering is it better to be happy or to be responsible? My job (well, really it's the people...

So I went on vacation. 'Twas an experience I won't forget soon. I slept alot, I read alot, and I had some big revelations. Here's how it went down:
Sleep: I slept 36 of my first 48 hours in Idaho. Guess I must have needed it. I went to bed, got up, ate breakfast went back to bed, got up, ate lunch, went back to...

Well, looks like I'm officially on vacation now. Unless gosh-darnit, I have to go back tonight. Probably won't though; everyone's left town.

whats a vacation?

You had some very insightful things to say in my journal. I
suppose I've been studying more Eastern Philosophy as of
late, which can make my point of view seem abstract; morality
from a Christian perspective has a tendency to be more heavy-
handed in it's views. After studying Taoism for awhile I've come to
the understanding that, esp. from a philosophical perspective, morality
or "rightness", and God are one in the same. This of course, from what you
intimated, a given in the understanding of God. But, if one's internal guidance
leads them on the path of "rightness", then they follow the word of God. In this
I would referr to the most quoted segment of the Gnostic texts; " lift a stone
and you will find me, split a piece of wood and I am there; the Kingdom of Heaven is
within you." This statement condones a path of righteousness that theoretically exists
within each one of us, if we seek it out. This is the transcendental excercise that has
become dormant in Christian thought, and somewhat dormant to social conscience. How
can this idea be proven? it can't. That's the excercise. To find the truth, which must begin in
the heart.
Yeah, end of thesis.( Went off the deep end on that one, eh?)
