Several note-like thingies

Numbered lists are about the extent of my brainpower today:

1) Missed many fine parties the last few weeks, which I regret (tenacious_snail, babyfly, etc., I love and missed you!). Did make it to two lovely ones, though, and it was so good seeing klwalton and mackenzie get a fraction of the attention and adoration they deserve.

2) sogwife is really cute when she's all giggly.

3) The Month O'Solitude has begun, and when I think about having no open-door dinner policy, it makes me sad, so I take that part back. If you wanna drop in for dinner, you should do so, especially if you're fine with whatever silly vegan thing I happen to throw together. Dinner's at 7 every night except Saturday.

4) I think I'm going to do a science-fiction novel for NaNoWriMo. I've never written a word of science fiction before.

5) OKCupid is still fun. I'm enjoying chatting and flirting with people. Also, the more neat people I meet, the happier I am with my current situation, which I admit is a bit paradoxical, but there it is.

6) It is deeply satisfying to me that when we're out of bread, someotherguy doesn't run out to the store -- he asks me if I would mind making us some bread. He's all apologetic about it, but I don't know if he gets how happy it makes me that I make almost all of our bread.

7) Finances being what they are, I may not make it to alt.polycon in February. I mean, I'm still planning on going if we can afford it, but between the room ($421.83 plus tips), the plane or car (in excess of $300 either way), and spending money, we're talking about a month's pay for me, and I'm just not sure it's responsible of me to be doing that. Current plan is to see if I can amass enough extra income to make it less of a hit for us. Stay tuned.

mactavish posted this link to the Midwest Teen Sex Show, and it's great so far! I think all teenagers (and other people interested in sex, sex education, and the happy future of frankness about sexuality) should check it out.

O, the betrayal!

[Newer Edit: Oh, whew. Never mind. They're open on the weekends after Labor Day. I almost had a heart attack. And someotherguy, your "Oh, well" put you high on my shit list. :-)]

[Edit: AAAACCCCCKKKKK!!!! The season ends September 3rd??? What kind of cruel cosmic joke is this???? Where I come from, things don't close for the winter! Where I come from, we don't DO winter! Foiled! Curses!!!]


I can only assume that I have not been clear enough (and by "clear enough", I mean "so crystal-clear your head spins") about my love of rollercoasters.

Because if I had been clear enough, it would mean that all of you Bay Area people have known for the three and a half years I've lived here that there is an amusement park *twenty-five miles from my house* and weren't telling me out of sheer meanness.

Fifty bucks buys SIX visits! This is the Month O'Solitude, and y'all have betrayed me by withholding this vital info from me for so long, but who's up for making it up to me with some October Rollercoaster fun? (textivore has first dibs on picking a date.)

Sunday

Me, to someotherguy: "Is it okay if I just spend the whole day naked?"

Him: "Sure!" [pause] "Wanna go for a walk?"

:-)

So he's left for his walk, and I immediately put on some Nanci Griffith. Doing the housework in the nude. Boppin' to "Flyer". Feeling like the Month O'Hermitage* is already a good, good idea. :-)





* Also known as the Month O'Solitude, the Month O'Cocooning, and the Month O'Misnomers

Today's fun quote

"You know what just occurred to me? What just occurred to me is that your argument is kinda bogus."

One of the neighbor women just came to our door with a huge bowl full of tomatoes from their garden. She says she has too many tomatoes. I don't see how that's possible. And I have New York Times bread almost ready to go into the oven, so suddenly, I've lost interest in my planned dinner. Fresh bread, olive oil, tomatoes, salt. That about does it, huh?
