heads up seven up- catch up
lets see...
i moved:
its a big blue house. it needs lots of tlc. its right by the lake that i liked to run around when i ran. (will try again today for the first time since my fall). im sad to leave the view of the old apartment. thats really about it though. now im sweating pipes and weedwacking with my boyfriend.
oh yeah, i have a boyfriend:
it doesnt seem like the right word to call him that but we will leave it there. ill save you the mushy stuff- we've already covered that in previous posts. its been several months but it seems like its been forever and it seems like it was just yesterday. i could lie and tell you i didnt see it coming... at any rate, he owns the house and hes the bees knees.
i went to hawaii:
i went with a former domestic partner- miss lisa kucik. we met up in the honolulu airport and proceeded to get drunk and tan all week (well, ok, she was already tan. i got burned). there was pearl harbor and the north shore. there was snorkeling and ogling. and there was the best slushie ive ever had. hawaii is an excellent place to recover from a cold.
misc:
i learned to shoot a shotgun. my arm is sore.
la isla in ballard has delicious puerto rican food and tasty mojitos.
our current (and first) house guest is super self sufficient.
someone left a dead rat on the railing outside.
my mentees stood me up yesterday.
and i think that brings us up to date...
id also like to send a little interweb love to the baker badgleys who came through a crisis with flying colors. im glad everything is a-ok now. xo

hits from the bong...
marsha, suzanne, deb"i always thought she was a wise kid," she tells me.
"well mom, i made good-ish decisions all my life, but i still drank as a teenager."
*gasp*
"well," she says, "i really only worried about you using drugs and having unprotected sex. you arent having unprotected sex now are you?"
i offered up that i tried pot towards the end of high school but didnt develop a love affair with it until college.
"i like pot," she proclaims.
"i thought i was going to smoke with you in vegas, since suzanne [her pothead best friend] was coming," i admitted.
"oh, i got stoned with suzanne last week in miami."
*gasp*
"your dad doesnt know."
heh. deb.

dear john.blogspot.com
some of you out there have blogs.
some of you write almost daily, filling my head with whimsical stories. we laugh together. we cry. we cheer, we ooh and aw at baby pictures. its an amazing relationship. it has the makings to last.
alas, girls always like the assholes- the ones that play hard to get.
and that leads me to the rest of you.
you know who you are.
you court me with a series of postings. maybe there will be pictures. maybe even a shout out. but as time passes and i become attached, you grow distant and silent. a daily post turns into a weekly one. then into once a month. and then, THEN, its like you dont even remember your blogger name.
come back to me. i can be better, i promise.

free ice skating monday
the romantic in me has always wanted to go ice skating and holds hands with a boy. we would skate around. i would fall. he would catch me. we would kiss in the snow...
the realist in me has decided its a weird uncomfortable thing. its a small circle. people are holding hands because they feel like they should. its crowded. its not snowing. its freezing. my feet hurt.
i took my mentees. thats a WAY better time.
fantasy dissolved.
