Ooh, that's such happy news, Becky! Please, tell us more!


Thanks for your concern, guys. It's really heartwarming.

New happy thought: I had six hours of extraordinarily refreshing sleep last night. I could get used to this!

Yay for Libby sleeping!

My guitar is the one on the right:


Not such a secret location when you have access to File Manager, Brandon.

And that's mine on the left.

And Becky, how often do you go digging through my files anyway?

Only when you tell me where a specific file is that isn't linked to from your site (i.e., "Yeah, I had the picture on my journal, but not linked to so you couldn't find it"). Besides, it's not like you've never gone through my files ... and made changes to certain image files and code without my permission.

Becky, what did you name it? I'm told you have to name your guitar. Kinda like naming a car...the more love you show it, the better it'll perform.

simplicity and innocence

But that was FUNNY! It was SO funny!

I'm still working on it. Maybe I'll come up with one by the end of the Taft weekend.

Favorite thing: being able to keep on with my antidepressant right up until my surgery. No anticoagulant (or coagulant) properties to make me bleed out on the table or get a blood clot during bed rest. Hooray!

meeting keith

Ooh! Pretty guitar! Very happy!


Happy things:
being jolted out of my "life's demandingness is too overwhelming, so I'll just throw money at it and hope it goes away" phase, and thus returned to quasi-sanity
my Superman T-shirt
cooking without the microwave for the first time in aaaaaages. (There's only so much Lean Cuisine one can stomach.)
not killing my pain-in-the-ass driving instructor
not having the chain-smoking hustler driving instructor tonight
rediscovering lost items
doing laundry -- ooh!
singing
being told I sing well
the neighbor's piano practice
further headway on this pesky card-list-mailing-thing
stripping at work today

having the large steel bar which keeps the rear end of my car aligned break in half today. then discovering that a machine shop was only two blocks away. watching 4 guys dedicate themselves whole-heartedly to welding it back together and remounting it on my car. having it take only about an hour. getting charged only $20.

they're getting tips.

That's awesome, Daniel!!!

being able to share lynne's first live otr experience with her.


are we there yet?
is it too early to pack?

peace,
zayne

It's not too early to pack... which reminds me that it's rather DIFFICULT to pack when one hasn't done laundry in nearly a month. I'll, um, go do that now.

Happy thing: updating (even though I didn't really feel like it). Discipline will do good things for me yet.

Right back atcha, Zayne!

: )

And as far as this question: Is it too early to pack?

Pack??! More like: CRAM!!! (That's how I pack, anyways!)

(I will no doubt be the one in slightly wrinkly clothes ...)

: )

Favorite things:

Random email from a former youth group leader who stumbled upon my online journal.

*Cringing at the knowledge of how many times I have used the F-bomb whilst blogging*

Holy crap! Laundry! I'll do that tomorrow. Uhh, I mean the day after that.

The Rolling Stones. They are the coolest.

you mean to say, the cloths we bring/wear to taft have to be clean??? no one told me that rule --

dang, ok -- where's the soap and fabric softner?

gee thanks.

as for the youth group leader -- if he is honest the words won't bother him -- and if he didn't know what it was, it wouldn't bother him.

the imagery of grey monologue

visitors!

Sleep!

Liberal, stand-up people.

When gut feelings win over practical matters.

Adventures.









----------------

Have you heard my version?

Drew, that should be restricted to late night airing only. Might give kids bad dreams.


Patrik

Savinelli Pipes, I just got myself one last night, and it definately gives a good smoke.

All my favorite things I'm looking forward to this weekend at the Taft:


Incredible people.
Hugs. Lots of them.
Delicious music.
Long Island Ice Teas (or Margaritas...haven't decided yet)
Really smooth cigarettes smoked inside at a bar (I've been in California too long).
Late night laughter.
Old friends. New Friends. Red friends. Blue Friends.


And then when I get back:

Lots of naps.

payday
10% off everything in the grocery store day
having money left over after all the bills are paid.

spring-like weather in December

FINALLY getting a driver's ed instructor I DON'T want to strangle
clean laundry
stripping all day
my sister not saying anything too uncomfortable in therapy
further progress on this damned Christmas card exchange

moments of revelation

being able to pay bills, balancing a checkbook, buying music and everything else you can do online.

Almost done with cards-to-strangers! YES!

Let's hope I don't have a Bridget Jones-esque moment of horror-filled realization (What did I write??) when I'm not so buzzy.

Finding time to play trogdor on homestarrunner.com.

Listening to Paige carry on in baby latin

Getting the hours I want in the 24-hour lab next semester without having to beat the rush of sign up (my supervisor knew I would have to miss the shindig because I'm working, so she brought the time sheet around). 12 hours a week -- I've never been able to get that many here before! And they're at the same time each day!

being in the Orchard... if only for a few minutes.

(Michelle says hi!)

mwah!

I like wrapping presents for mailing.
And I'm all aflutter and aglow... Taft in two days!

That kid named Riley. siiiiiiiiigh. I'm so twitterpated, teehee!

The Caribbean version of the American salvation army bell ringers: Spotted outside the grocery store - woman in a uniform (they LOVE uniforms here) ringing a bell to the tune of the reggae Christmas songs blaring from a loudspeaker...hehe.

opening what you think is a bill, and finding it to be a check.

i hadn't seen this before - and i hope it's not too offensive for you folks. if so, i'll be happy to remove it!

Hmmm, I hadn't seen this Ninja version before.

That's really the one thing I suffer a lot of guilt over ... all those poor, dead kittens.

People who send huge bday packages full of random and fun things.

Yay!
