first off, i want to say WELCOME to some new people i’ve added recently, and who were kind enough to add me back: astrokaiju, divineseduction, driftwood, giselc, mesmer_ant, and taocub. these are people who i thought were tremendously interesting. also, a big thanks to my old friends, 666queen, aimercat, kaitan, mistressxenobia, puddingbunnie, slbass, theapostate, thee_kaos_child, tyrsalvia, and wirklichkeit. these are also wonderful folks, who in some cases stuck around even when i was being really antisocial. you can read all of them at once here. also, you can find a lot of really interesting nouns (people, places, and things) and in some cases verbs (“I seem to be a verb.” –Buckminster Fuller), by checking out my profile page. i’ve stumbled onto a lot of really cool ones lately.
tonight i’m going out with some old friends. still not sure where, but hopefully i’ll be able to check out the massive (annual) hallowe’en party in the Oregon District somehow.
i’ve all but decided i’m going to tell one of my married friends why they should get a divorce and git wit’ me… at any rate, i’m definitely going to reference my burning desire, if for no other reason than to get a laugh. if you ever want to say something potentially sensitive to someone, and you don’t quite know how to say it, just throw it out there and make it funny. there is an Art to saying some Things.
and, while contemplating this issue, i thought of this:
wishes pile up in front of us; they trip us up, block the view ahead, and make for an uphill climb. on the other hand, Experience (accomplishment) becomes the landscape behind us, the background in the portrait of our lives. (it’s of course up to us whether it is a beautiful landscape or a dull and ugly one.)
i’ll be thirty-one years old fairly soon. i realised yesterday that 31 is 13 backwards. so it’ll be interesting to see what this portends.
what i want: (not necessarily in order)
FAIR gay, black, jewish, asian, latino, hindu, arab, female, american indian and/or agnostic President.
and, in case i end up dead, in a coma, or naked in a tree somewhere in Spain tonight:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (monday) TO driftwood and (today) kaitan!!!
