Ya makes me smile. :-) <--- See? That's a smile.

It occurs to me that writing a blog for an audience of one is strange. Not used to it at all. In my old LiveJournal, I think I had at my peak about 20 regular readers. And ye gods, when I write at work, it goes out to an audience of up to 40,000.

I'm thinking of leaving. Seattle sounds nice. Mostly because it rains a lot and I've never been there.

Blah.

I'm going to bed. I'm sure I'll be back up in an hour, but I guess I ought to at least try to pretend to sleep.

If I were a superhero, I'd probably be Captain Insomnia.

Y'know... when I was running a little late this morning, it seemed like a good idea to try brushing my teeth and shaving my face at the same time.

Once again, Charlie is proven wrong. *ahem*

Hurrm.

Shoot me. Seriously.

Grr... stupid insomnia.

*sigh*

Stupid insomnia.

*sigh*

... I

Grr... I hate it when I write something and the damn computer eats it before it posts.

Eh, fuck it.

Not liking the looks of my lonely bed tonight.

Eh, fuck it.

Not literally, I guess. ;-)

I'm quickly realizing that it was a mistake for me to come back to Memphis.

It's time to clock out. I'm done.

Entry NTS-125 ("Notes")

The following list is mostly for my own benefit. It's just a few things I wanted to write about, but haven't had the time to do yet. I'll forget them if I don't write them down somewhere.

* The Legend of the Bondage Pants, Miscellaneous Fetishisms, and the Cute Redhead
* Blogoramadrama
* The Spice Fiend
* The Point of the Story is the Story
* Solitaire

Hurrm. I know that myspace came up at some point last night... I know I have/used to have an account there... can't remember what the name is. I think I might be on friendster, too. Must remember to investigate.

Schisse.

I just spent an hour on the phone with my friend Laura... she just found out her husband has been finding other women on the Internet.

True enough, I tried the Internet thing (gorram blogs), but I wasn't married to anyone and neither was she.

Laura and her husband have a baby. He's not even a year old.

*sigh*

It frustrates me to not be able to take care of people I care about. I know I'm not fucking Superman and it's not my job to save the world. But I hate being helpless when a good friend is hurting. Laura and I have never been anything other than just friends, and I'm not looking for anything else from her. But she deserves better treatment than this.

Grr...

...

I meant everything I said tonight. True, I'm kinda drunk and don't remember everything I said, but I'm pretty sure I meant it all.

The ultimate point of it all being that you shouldn't feel or allow yourself to be treated like you're second-rate. You're better than that.

Take care of yourself.

Gonna shut up now. For a couple minutes, at least.

I have much to think about.

I just had some chai tea.

The two staements are, so far as I am aware, unrelated.

Ta.

Entry SEX-069 ("Relations")

I don't understand.

Angela called to wish me a happy birthday. We talked for 35 minutes or so.

When we broke up, it was hard on me. Drop-to-your-knees-and-bawl kinda hard. I would've been hers, mind, body an' soul if she would allow it.

She said both our lives would be easier if she just wanted to hop into bed with me, but she didn't.

I said that wasn't important and meant it. "Of course it is," she said.

I like physical affection a bunch. And true enough, I do expect some degree of it in a relationship. But it ain't all there is.

I'm not really concerned with the fact that I don't have a sex life. When it comes, it comes (when it cums? Heh...)

I think I had a point when I started writing. Don't remember what it was. Must remember to investigate...

I'm gonna go cry over lost love or something sappy like that.

Anyone who doesn't like it can go fuck themselves.

(Gods, after the LiveJournal fiasco of three years, I told myself I wasn't going to start blogging again...)

Entry SRN-002 ("Serenity")

Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care, I'm still free...
You can't take the sky from me.

Take me out to the black.
Tell 'em I ain't comin' back.
Burn the land and boil the sea...
You can't take the sky from me.

Have no place I can be,
Since I found Serenity.
But I don't care, I'm still free...
You can't take the sky from me.

Entry BGN-001 ("Beginning")

Well. Here I am.
