hmm. 1 month ago

Doogie: friends warned me about him. his friends, not mine. lost his contact info when cell phone was stolen. not upset by this.

became attracted to a new guy, went out with him last weekend…
single: check.
actually nice: check.
still emotionally damaged from ex: check.

sigh.

i want to continue being friends and just give it time and see what happens. that seems to be the right thing to do now. but i have to wonder… is that because this is truly worth putting up a fight for, or is this just me wanting what is currently unavailable because it’s safe?

does it ever annoy you 1 month ago

when you watch movies that take place in France, and the actors have British accents? shouldn’t they just sound French? i’m especially interested in what our British friends on 43T have to say about this one.

lost and found 2 months ago

my cousin made some mp3 format CDs for me a few years ago, which i recently uploaded onto my ipod. all except, alas, the CD that had A Perfect Circle, Every Time I Die and Fear Before the March of Flames and other screamy wonders. i thought the CD was gone forever…

UNTIL… i found it in another case. it was like finding Tutankhamun’s tomb! happy day!

and finding out it’s cheaper to fly to Singapore than it is to go to Tokyo. so i’m going, all alone (well a certain “special friend” of mine lives there) and it’ll be really good for me.
