my lovely excuse for updateable content

quick notes. I'm at home. I leave for the beach tomorrow morning at an insanely early hour. I felt like writing, and all of a sudden I have nothing to say. sigh. read Emma's page, she's better about updating and at writing than I am.

hi, checkin' in. I'm now unemployed, but not unbusy. I've been cooking a lot, and I've got just a few days to pack everything I own so I can move into my new apartment. sooooo.... I'm gonna write here again, but I don't even know if I'm going to get to have internet access for a while starting August 11th, so no promises 'till a while, okie-doke?

I'm at work again. have I mentioned how much I sincerely despise tax forms? unlikely, considering I haven't had to deal with them (not the ones everyone fills out, by the way, the ones employers fill out) until this morning. they're a headache. and so are my father's notes as to the June statements. but at least I've chiseled away at the pile of files and papers on my desk so it's much more manageable at this point. Dad's at the dentist. so... I'm just here. twiddling my thumbs, getting bored playing spider solitaire and staring dumbly at the pen-scratching on the June statements notes Dad made. ex - cite - ment. woo.

I know you won't believe it, because it's only been eight days (sigh, that used to be a long time between blogging), but I'm actually here again. hi. I need to figure out how to get outside and do stuff more often. having a desk job, the responsibility of cooking dinner, a long-distance relationship and an otherwise solitary-ish existence tend to work exactly to the contrary. which means that my jeans don't fit anymore. it's very very frustrating. I care about my weight, because I'm full of pent-up childhood fatkid issues and I have to live in this society, but I'm not obsessive or anything. generally I'm fairly mentally healthy about it. but at the moment it's one of those things that won't go away inside my head, mostly because my clothes continue to remind me that I've gained weight this summer. (bleh, I feel so ... American and girly writing this...) ugh. so there's that.

but I go back to school in a month, which tends to be very good for my health. and I'll get to be around Julie and Erik more often, which will be veryveryvery nice. much less of a solitary existence. Not that I don't spend time with my parents while I'm here or anything--it's just that they tend to be gone a lot, and even when Mom's home she's always kind of disappearing, particularly since she's in the process of trying to close down her practice and has to do work stuff at home.

for good news--Elizabeth had a baby! yea Elizabeth and Alex (the new baby girl)! *grin*

well, back to the grindstone.

happy independence day. rah.

it's raining and stormy here (I probably oughtn't to be on the computer, but oh well), and so fireworks are cancelled, which is the only concession my family makes to the holiday beyond not going to work (and even that one isn't really true--Dad met a client out at his office at 8:00 this morning...). but I got a paid holiday, so I ain't complaining.

I'm waiting for my parents to come home with cheesecake. so. yeah. that's about all I have to say. love!

my archives aren't working! anyone who can figure out why not gets a batch of vegan cookies, if you live near me, or at least a decorated postcard.

Hi, it's been a long time. I know, I know, it's more than a month after that post that was never posted until a minute ago. I've just... had other things on my mind.
(I have Donovan stuck in my head now... points to anyone who knows why...)

So... hi. what's new with you?

hi. I'm not going to be posting again until Monday night at the earliest. I've been insanely busy. I'm looking forward to a weekend of not doing anything. I'm going to see Erik! For the first time in two weeks!

I have all these thoughts swirled in my head—spirituality + politics + social relationships + stuff... I feel a little woozy from it all.
