i'm moving in with my girlfriend, as some of you may know, and the truck comes to my house thursday. a lot of my "good stuff" is at her place already - my books, records, nick-nacks, shoes, etc. - and i'm wading through the junk i could take or leave, desparately hoping my landlord will see fit to refund my entire deposit despite the fact...

from whiskey to wine i've traveled in my long journey from hopelessness to where i'm at now, which is to say somewhat rehabilitated. it's most present in the nights i falter & revert, only taking an inch to do a mile's damage. this time last year is like looking through black pantyhose at an unglamourous snowglobe, imagine if you will an old factory, with most...

You do deserve the best dahling.
Yeah, thats the free wifi park. I do walk to the park but I've gotta find a parking spot when I go home from work . . . which is also walking distance but I need a car if I go to court. It's all very convoluted and difficult.
How're thangs?

i'm back from tennessee and i'm in a good place. it was a good time, and all my pre-trip anxieties (like, are we going to hate each other?) have melted away. we're moving in together july 1st, and most if not all of that set of anxieties have disappeared as well.

Doooodness.
yo! i'm in tennessee for my sister's wedding & it's been a slice of relaxation. vacation is a word that has been absent from my vocabulary for a few years, and now here i am with the "V" word tippy-toeing to the tip of my tongue. do i dare mutter it? or shout from the rooftops?
anyway, this hotel is pimped to the gills, it's...

going grocery shopping tonight instead of drinking. whee! maturity is setting in, or maybe it's fear of fullblown alcoholism?
i weekended in green bay, doing work for the company that shitcanned my ass in 2004. best thing that ever happened to me, by the way. i drank at 29 steps, my green bay bar. spent sunday being hungover, then somehow drunk again. life is...

29 STEPS is the ONLY place to go out to and drink. it might not be really that good, but it's "acceptable"
i'll be up there this coming weekend.

I've gotten over my fear of full-blown alcoholism and moved on to an acknowledgement that I have full-blown alcoholism.
so here's an update on the life & times of joey.

YES!!! YES! YES! YES! Politics is perfect! I think that's the best idea I've heard in some time.
Good to hear about the car and the phone. You should call/email me the number.
I already knew 'bout the other stuff. But COOL nonetheless!

Yeah!
so i just went to the "cancel my account" page, to cancel my account. i just was billed for three months, so i don't know if i'll be here until my three months is up, or if i will vanish by the end of the day. i'd prefer to vanish.
it's been a nice run. i remember fondly the NYC 4th of july party back...

Sorry to hear that man! Well, you've got my number. I see you around more than you post on here anyway.
That said, I don't think you should go.

Conejitos = sublime bar food
I puked up red wine recently and was initially convinced that it was blood. I thought, "oh great, I've finally broken myself." Then I remembered that I had been drinking wine.

glad you had a good birthday! 
wow, interesting i should read your journal today. moving in with people. scan one of my recent journals about my situation.
you know there's always psychiatry. my roommate torments me to the extent that i'm now on Zoloft from anxiety. she leaves soon.
it's all the same with a lover, anyone. it all changes once you live with people. sorry to be an asshole but i'm just saying, my God, studio apts for one are just priceless.
but considering i moved in with Satan's spawn coming out of living with that boyfriend you met, i don't know what's been more terrifying.
where's my Zoloft?
