Ahhh, so, back to work. I was getting a bit concerned since, after my mothers visit and my rent payment, my funds were starting to run a bit thin when, lo and behold, an inheritance from my grandfather, now passed of many, many years, finally clears and leaves me with a little financial flexibility. Looks like I can finally open that savings I had intended...

Well, x-mas has once again come and gone, and what has it shown us?
Well, in my case, it revealed the true meaning of x-mas: that getting shit is super cool. My apartment actually looks almost like a real home now, as I have a lamp, a new bedset, a kitchen table, and a chest of drawers that has yet to be assembled.
Mom came...

Well, this is a shame. All my ranting has resulted in yet another person turning away from me, literally. I mean, I'm not over dramatizing this, someone has made it explicitly clear that I'm too much of a handful to deal with, and that as a result they don't want to communicate with me any further. The saddest part about the whole situation is that...

Bad week, culminating in a worse weekend.
Sometimes I suppose you have to get all the venom and bile out of your system before you can really get back to being clean, but I wish I hadn't made this particular cleansing public.
Live and learn, I suppose. I am now mandating that this be a good week, and gods help any that would make it...

Well, that was an interesting holiday. Wasn't planning on doing anything until about a week beforehand, when my mother called me up and offered to pay for my flight back home. So my birthday rolls around and, while I'm still lying in bed on that blessed day, I get my good-morning-happy-birthday call from mums, whereupon she informs me that she's going to leave it up...

Somebody at work the other day reminded me it's my birthday on Saturday. I had actually forgotten. I mean, I remembered when the month rolled around, but after the initial realization, I completely forgot.
Quarter of a century. Weird. Barely old enough to be trusted anymore.
I can't really decide if I'm going to try to do anything. My friends have a tendency to flake...

Been a pretty good time lately, with the exception of being kicked off the site because I couldn't get a new bank card in time. Oh well, c'est la vie.
New apartment is coming together, slowly. Since it's on the third floor and there's never parking outside, I'm just moving things in a peice at a time. Got a bed at IKEA this weekend, which...

I've just had a date that began well, went well, and ended well. I assume, any moment now, to drop dead. It's been pleasent knowing all of you.

When I sit down across from him, the room has that smell: the smell that isn't a smell, the air, cleaned twice and polished; hanging between me and he.
When he looks at me, I can tell how much he hates me, how much he wishes it were my throat he were biting into instead of that rare steak, sawing through it, grinding against the...

Aaaaaaaaaand the fire sale on my dignity has begun: last night, I tried a speed dating event.
To be honest, it was decent. The people in charge weren't really do anything too terribly original with the concept, and the hostesses, while accommodating, also seemed incredibly tired and bored, not peppy and helpful as was sort of heavily emphasized on their site, and which I imagine...

So, it starts this way:
She's naked, sitting up in bed beside me when I wake up, feeling the blanket of morning light washing through onto me, over the covers and half of my face. She's sweating, too.
"I can't." She says. "I'm afraid."
I dig a little crust out of my eye. "Laurel? Are you still asleep?"
"Am I still asleep?" She says, and...

Yes. This really is not a surprise.
When watching the responses of most creatures, in regards to the stimulus they are provided, it becomes remarkably clear.
Do you really doubt it?
Try it, sometime.
Just an experiment.
Provide the given stimulus.
See what happens.
It starts to make sense, yes?

Doubtless, there are those of you that have become convoluted by various Infectious memes,...
