I just spent the last four days up in the Canadian wilds, and was sorely disappointed.

Sure, the scenery was gorgeous- low mountains bespotted with charming white homes, fluffy clouds framing the sunset as it fell through the color wheel in flares of marmalade orange, lemon yellow and even imperial purples.
The lake reflected it all, a tain of sparkling clarity marred only by the...

So in the space of 24 hours, I'll of been on three "dates." They are "dates," and not dates, simply because not all three are romantic in nature. Not mostly, anyway. Maybe some flirting went on. Maybe. That's the thing with flirting, in can mean something or nothing at all.

Last night there was some definite flirting going on: the kind that rouses hormones...

Most all my friends will soon be packing up and leaving me. It's only fair, I suppose. Once upon a time I did the same to them, but at least they had one another.

Knifebu will remain, as will Belarius, but Strong But Sad and Whitey, together or apart, will be on their way. Koi and Harlequinne are sticking around until Fall, but then life...

I used to have two jobs:

Now I have just the one I like; it's not even work, really. I play with children and look after their moms; open locked snack cabinets and put the manners ingrained in me to good use.

The other one I quit Friday: I was an impromptu case worker - apart from the fact that they were lying to me,...

Hurray for quitting bad things!

All of you, everyone: go and watch Nobody Knows, a Japanese film of fantastic quality. You'll laugh, you'll cry....okay, mostly, you'll cry. As my good friend belarius pointed out: It's good because it's believable.

So sad, so true.

In other news, a potentially nerdy Mexican girl (who practices capoeira!) snuck her email onto my backpack while I was working out.

I did a little...

That girl's kinda cute. How does she be "potentially nerdy?"
cyaluminus:
I seen her. In the gymnasium. It's good that she's potentially nerdy. You should try hitting on her in Spanish.

There are two people who want me to write books with them. I think that's a good sign that I might actually be able to write things people WANT to read. Dunno. I always figured I wordcrafted well enough to get by and entertain myself, but I never really considered doing it for reals.

Also, if there's a girl who asks you out for coffee...

Yep, that new Al set is a goody! For sure! Props on the Pink Martini shout-out!
cyaluminus:
When I was looking at Al's new set, King Missile's "Jesus Was Way Cool" came on. Hilarity, indeed. If I could I surely would be hurling Females into your quarter. However, the list of such creatures both known well to me and not otherwise occupied is short. That is to say, nonexistent. My apologies.

I went on a date, and that didn't work out too well.

I mean, she was nice enough, and had all sorts of personality, but with all that had happened up until the actual initial encounter, she might as well of had a huge, neon pink FLAKE sign flashing over her head.

Flakes drive me up walls. Honestly.

In other news, my horrible job is...

I had a friend (read- person who seeks me out as often as I seek out them) tell me I should get over being single. I thought about it awhile and decided that she was wrong.

Most people have multiple persons to talk to about the stuff they need to. Family; close friends; diaries. Me, I talk to just the one person, my mate.

I...

I promise to be a better friend. I know I don't seek you out very much and I'm sorry about that. Don't take the last few weeks personally as I have been totally dead sick. Also, I really enjoy talking to you!! Sometimes we bake pies together and they turn out really bad but I have lots of fun anyway because we get to talk about girls and life and things. I like all of that to talk with you. My feet are cold. Always.
lyris:
oh and yes! i found it the surprize! and i was surprized! and i have been thinking about a good time to cash that in... hmmm...

So...

I'm driving from Fort Worth to Portland, Oregon. The long way, across New Mexico and Arizona, and then up through Cali. I do this to avoid icy roads and the like, but it's gonna be a heckuva long drive.

There were peeps what were gonna do it with me, one even promised, but alas...they have forsaken me.

In other news: food. God, I thank...

Dude.
Bowling rocks.
Maybe next time I'll break 100, but for now I'll just enjoy the company and wild antics that the strange sport elicits.

Operation Try To Find A Girl begins in a Coffee People by my house. They didn't have any apple fritters, though. The people behind the counter talk of early relationships, and some patrons to my right discuss evolutionary theory. They're making assumptions involving a long list of logic mistakes, and it's driving me nuts. The Reedie in me is about to jump across the cafe...

So enough with the moping, already.

I'm tired of it, and you should be, too. It's no way to get on with your life, and a stellar way to stagnate. You sigh and you smile your sad smile; make comments suggestive of your heartache yet answer no questions: your whimpering is only making you a figure of pathetic irony. You have a chance to start...
