tagging entries again

Making sure I don't read them too thoroughly now, because I'm on April
2003, when cute-poet-chick broke up with me. There's a lot of pain there.

Does anyone else find the lj tagging process emotionally draining? I had
to quit after a few months of 2003. I'm up to June now, but it'll have to
wait.

Things I have relived through tagging today:

The roller-coaster of my impending breakup with cute-poet-chick.

The breakup itself.

The rise and fall of a few ill-conceived projects. (Remember serenefood?)

Loving my San Diego job and being really conflicted about staying there.

The wonderful, joyful beginnings of my relationships with stonebender, someotherguy, and sogwife.

The hints of a relationship with intenselaura, who was called
"the crush" back then.

And my really huge capacity for finding joy, even in deep sadness. I have
been really grateful to see that about myself. I rock. (sogwife, I'll take that flower now.)

please tell me...

...that LJ doesn't barf on two-word tags.

Oy.

This may be more trouble than it's worth.

Busy day at UCB today, which I like. Low-lying, generalized anxiety all
day, which I don't like. I have self-medicated with trashy lunch, a yummy
truffle, and a magazine purchase. I feel somewhat better. This evening, I
will see how lying in bed watching movies and eating popcorn helps. Or
maybe we'll go to Open Mic at the Plough. Anyone wanna go?

oh, and

Headcolds. That's another thing I don't like. Not at all. *stamps foot*

*sighhhh*

You know how sometimes you have a problem with someone and it takes a
while for you to feel the old feeling with them again? Like you're back
to normal?

Isn't that the greatest fucking feeling in the world?

Other good stuff

A neighbor left a bag full of her homegrown squash and other stuff on our
doorstep. I love our neighborhood.

Guy wrote this about my anxiety today, and I instantly felt better:
"Yeah, the feeling seems to be going around. Maybe we can find some
pocket dimension outside our time stream that we can rest in for a few
weeks. One with lots of pillows, creamy foods, and maybe a pool."

Almost time to go home, yay. Well, two hours, but that's almost, right?

squeee!

*Christmas* (!)
Dressup Jesus Magnets!

mommaduck will hate them, and our fridge will love them. Yay!

Mmmm, garlicky goodness

Took pics of my wheatberry salad for a competition on vegan_cookoff. Behind the cut are two pics. I didn't take pics of my toffee, which I made for work tomorrow. Some of our co-workers are going on a retreat, and I decided those of us who didn't get to go (even though teambuilding work things are really NOT my cup of tea, I like teasing them about it) should bring tasty food to share to make the ones who don't get it jealous. ;-) I love my office.

( pics of food. very garlicky food. I should give my loves some self-defense garlic )

okay day, lovely evening

I did everything I do when I feel anxious to make myself feel better -- I spent time with a loved one, did some food shopping, took a walk, cooked up a storm, had amazing sex, ate creamy food, laughed with a friend -- it worked. It always works.

golden_c_turtle is one sick puppy. And really fun, funny, and cool. These things tend to go hand in hand in my circles. I kinda like that.

stonebender and I had a rough patch. It feels over, and we laughed and goofed off some today, and it was so good.

So who's going to alt.polycon? Getting excited yet? I am.

Should go to bed while there's still a chance for six hours of sleep.

Love and smooches!
