i'm not sure how i should feel about what it means to be a good friend to someone. when posed with the situation of either supporting a friend in what could be a colossal mistake and a huge risk to her work-wise, or advising here that logically her plan seems kind of flawed. One friend, one decision, two other people with completely opposite points of...

xm radio? enjoy smile

I have conventional public radio with poor reception on a very broken old tapedeck/cdplayer/radio. That's what you get for living right down town. When I do get reception, it's heavenly.

I hope you are well. smile
madigan:
I think we have XM radio at work. Whatever it is, it plays a lot of classic rock, 80's, and 70's funk. I'd lose my fucking mind without that station.

Hope you're doing well.

can't sleep anymore. i hate it when you get to that odd temperature when throwing a leg outside the comforter won't regulate your body heat and send you back to sleep. took an otc sleep aid and am now waiting for it to take effect...no worries, tommorow is my day off, so i don't care how long i sleep in as a result.

I like your holiday memory. smile My favourite was the year my sister and I opened all our presents and were slightly disappointed by the fact that we didn't get bikes (like we'd been hinting for months tongue) My dad pointed to two small wrapped cards that we'd missed. They were treasure maps. smile We followed them and found clues along the way, eventually, of course, finding two bikes. My dad rocked.

I hope you're having a wonderful relaxing holiday. *HUG*

Days off tend to frustrate me. i always make these grandiose plans in my head and then berate myself for getting 1/4 of them actualy accomplished. Why should i always have to be productive on days that are really necessary to relax and recharge so that i'm not empty when i get back out into the grind? my brain can't seem to shut off my...

I don't buy christmas presents. Hmm, that sounds smug. It does make things a whole lot less stressful, not getting or giving.

I do the same thing on my days off. I spend a whole lot of time thinking of all the great things I wanna do, then waste the whole day not making a decision on which one I want to do. I'm terrible at picking one thing out of many.
cellosoul:
crushes...tension...i wonder why we create these things for ourselves. i guess to bring us back to self-love (and other triple-x stuff). wink

So basically, the job thing is not going as well as i would have liked. The people i lead are great for the most part, and they seem to really like me, but it seems the higher up you go, the more you really need to show up on paper. Not so much, yet. i'm sure it will improve, but in the meantime i feel...

I haven't worked out for 3 days. *hides*

I will check out Minnie Driver. I didn't know she sang, but I certainly respect your judgement, and you don't have to sell it to me. smile

It's funny how those close calls have the full range of emotions. I've had a couple, and yes, even though I don't want children, there was some sadness, and a little what if.

I got a new scarf. smile It's bright orange and purple and utterly inadequate for the insane cold where I live, but I'm looking forward to wearing it a) as a boa and b) in spring when it's not quite so nuts here. robot kiss
cellosoul:
Did not know Minnie Driver had a CD out...hm! Interesting! Wish we could be gym buddies...your energy motivates me. Oh, goodness.

I laughed so hard tonight that i almost peed myself.

Better yet, tears squirted from my eyes. I hung out with a group of people tonight that made the last few weeks worth it...for a few hours i was able to regress allll the way back to high school and be the crazy entertaining girl that used to be fun on lunch break. god i...

I think you summed up my last two months in your last two entries.. What does that say about my journal skills?

I'm pretty sure I have the eye twitch down at this point..

Life is hard then you die...but I still want to live as long as possible, even if it is hard. It's an amazing thing to be alive, even if it is a difficult struggle. Hope the journey gets easier for you soon...

I noticed in your profile you said you like strange vocabulary words. Have you ever read Catch-22? It has words in it like infundibuliform, mulled claret, and corpulent; among many, many others. I think it's fun to read it with a dictionary in one hand. In fact, I think that's how it must have been written...lol

Another week gone by, and not a huge amount to show for it.


What is it about being judged by someone you abhor that makes your blood boil? I have gone out of my way to ensure that someone I work with is completely taken care of and supported even though she doesn't deserve such treatment- cause it's called integrity folks-and in return i am...

The fall season is wonderful. Is it silly to wonder how many people just stop and admire the colors while out walking? I often wonder if people simply stop for a moment and admire anything anymore.

I'm conditioning myself to like actual coffee. It is very difficult.

I hate that I haven't updated in a while... i have been really busy, and super sapped when i get home, so this all equates to zero computer time that isn't work related.

so i got the promotion. they offered me the job (the permanent one) two weeks ago. i am now commuting about 3 hours round trip a day (what with the horrid traffic...

All of that sounds really cool, well, besides the Halloween alone thing, hope it was fun nonetheless. smile Congrats on the promotion and the award.

I feel your pain on the busy thing, I've been out of my mind busy lately.
cellosoul:
I am digging the way you wrote about your life. Love. Making the best of some less than yummy elements. Prosaically, no less. Missed your words, too.

another week gone by... where does my time fly off to these days? it seems like i am pyhsically far less busy, and yet i can't seem to get the things done that i want to. though i can say i have continued to run almost daily for the past week, and that seems like a small victory after my great period...
