I just got canned and a guy I met the day before on a blind date joined me for a walk on a trail. There was a ton of poison ivy which we’re both wicked allergic to, a hundred toads hopping into the brush, the occassional squirrel and we saw deer at dusk. It was fun and he was great company. We talked about everything and nothing and it was nice balance to a crap day.

This could happen soon. I need to find new work and might have to freelance which is a good reason to invest in good equipment.

I’ve been kissing this summer, but it’s been dry. When the storms did finally roll through town, I didn’t have a guy at hand :) I did kiss under a meteor shower though. We couldn’t see the meteors due to city haze. Bummer. Kissing makes it’s own sparks.
