and it's terribly good to carry water and chop wood

on friday i went out dancin' with pamela and john. discussed some important matters such as couple cute/barf factors and the many categories of sexuality to which one may belong. (i wonder where i stand...?) john seems to have an extensive list, as well as some lovely sound effects and gestures to illustrate his points. pamela got drunk and giggled a lot, and wondered whether people who don't know her talk about her the way that people talk about tippi. ha! i like those kids...

and yesterday morning i woke up after 4 hours of sleep and too many glasses of beer feeling oddly clearheaded. i think perhaps i have realized a few important things:

for one, i realize that i do indeed have lovely friends and that they do indeed keep me grounded, anchored, as much as i try to spin wildly out of control some days.

for two, i realized that victoria is no longer my home. for now? for ever? we shall see, but despite the loneliness i feel strangely comforted returning to vancouver. ah, the mountains, the many views, the greyness and the colors and...well, y'know. other stuff. stuff i try to be wordy about but is really best left inside my head to wallow in its own juices. splish splash.

for three, i realized that life is really an amazing thing. well, maybe that hit me earlier than yesterday, but yesterday morning it seemed exceptionally clear. terrible things happen, and are happening, and will continue to happen forever and ever. but there are so many human beings around, big hairy ones and little goosy ones and everything in between, and it's so exciting. human beings are so great.

for four, i realized that i have changed a lot lately. i think i like these changes, though i think i need to try them out a little longer before i decide for sure. we shall see we shall see.

and to top it off, the new joanna newsom album came out.

woooot.

Re: please give me a project that can be worked on while on long stolen busrides. please!

How 'bout a project entitled "long stolen busrides"? Pictures of grinning old chinese men in thick-rimmed glasses and guardian angels loaded down with bags. I'd like to see those....

And yes, the skinny jeans are calling to me. A bit of a worry, really, for if skinny jeans find their way to my closet, can slouchy boots be far behind?

that sounds great. i will get started today, what with my day off, my heart racing from caffeine, my excitement at the return of friends and my lucky slouchy boots on...
