Public vs. private: For a long time, my journal was completely public. I didn't hide anything, because I didn't have anything to hide, or so my reasoning went. Then, for the last year or two, it's been largely friends-locked, out of respect for someone I love (and, she said redundantly, respect). Now it's mostly public again, because (a) while I still love and respect that person, I have had no contact with zir in months; and (b) I still have nothing to hide.

If you are that person and would prefer that I go back to friends-locking my posts, please feel free to send me an email, and I will honor your request.

Sprained my ankle and scraped my knee on the way to work today; worked an hour or so, then came home to whimper, rest, and then, of course, go to Ikea. The ankle still hurts, but now I have CD racks to ease the pain. Normally, I spend all weekend walking miles and miles with

someotherguy and/or

stonebender, but that's not gonna happen this weekend. DVDs and food and some light puttering and/or wandering is about it. Plus, I don't feel all that social when I'm whiny-in-pain, so I may just spend time reading for a lot of the weekend.

Next weekend, I'm going to San Diego to see my family and a couple of friends. I'm looking forward to it. Miss the Munchkins and my mom something fierce.

I like myself better when I'm a vegetarian. Not sure what that says about me, but there it is. I guess it's something about feeling best about me when I'm doing fewer things that I think are unethical. (Speaking of that, I did something really unethical last week, and the guilt and shame reminded me of how crappy that feels, so there ya go.) Anyway, I feel better physically, which I expected, but mostly I just feel more like myself. And I'm back in familiar cooking territory, as well. I'm not all that good at cooking meat, because I've done nearly no meat cookery over the last 21 years or so.

Tonight, I cooked a really good creamy potato soup for lunch, and for dinner, a veggie version of the Bisquick Impossible Cheeseburger Pie, which is a family favorite from my childhood. It was wonderful, and it's nearly gone. Last night, veggie tacos, which were likewise wonderful, and the night before,

someotherguy made us some really amazing udon soup, if I remember correctly. Honestly, given a plate of steak and a plate of veggies-and-noodles, I would pick the veggies every time. My food cravings are really satisfied today.

There was this guy, and he said this to his girlfriend, and she felt really good about herself:

"Listen, you like to suck cock for hours at a time, and geek talk makes you wet -- if I wrote that down somewhere, people would call it a total Geek Fantasy Fulfillment story. And you know, all you need to do is wear more goth clothes, and you are the perfect geek fantasy fulfillment girlfriend."
