what to say? what... to... say...
i spent a lovely day with beckie. i was thinking out nice it is to spend the whole day with a friend. it was very enjoyable and relaxing. we had some very interesting conversations to say the least.
i am a 27-year-old woman who wears idiot strings on her mitts, or "forget me knots" as modern primative calls them.
i have this phobia about calendars. well not so much a phobia but a complex or irrational weirdness. basically this involves me not liking to mark peoples birthdays on it in advance. this is the result of writing in peoples names then experiencing a falling out with them and then having to see their names displayed. it feels like my calendar is mocking me.
well the snow has arrived. i wonder if it will stay. as much as i hate the cold, i know its best for the world's health that it reach appropriate lows. i'd forgotten how awful it is to be cold. i knew i hated it, but really forgot what it was like to experience it. thankfully i recoginize that it won't last forever, so i'll try to focus on that. i much prefer the hot & humid weather.
the necklace that i've been wearing for over 10 years broke yesterday. that's amazingly ironic since buddy pointed out just the other day that i've been wearing it forever. anyway, i noticed it lying on my bag yesterday at the goat. i was SO relieved to realize it had fallen off and that it didn't just break while i walked down princess street. so i went out today and bought a new chain for it. i think i like the chain, it was more the pendant that was significant to me. its a dove and it belonged to my mom ages ago. i'd guess its at least 40 years old. the new chain is extremely shiney and it will take some getting used to. i'm hoping it will tarnish extremely fast. in the meantime, i hope its not distractly sparkly. it makes me feel like i'm trying too hard.
so many goldfish to feed.

do you have lots of falling outs then? I have to have a birthday calender otherwise noone in my family gets a card. I find it very hard to organize when my work is busy.
No, the snow will not stay- the temperature is rising tonight and we will have rain. It will all be washed away. That's what I'm counting on anyway, as I haven't shoveled.
i was more referring to boyfriends but didn't want to say that explicitly.
i never shovel unless i can't get my car out. even so, i'm hoping for a cold cold winter.
I'm like Aphra... last year I didn't write in birthdays and no one got cards or calls or anything. I've always admired those people who can tell you the birthday of anyone they are even distantly acquainted to right off the top of their heads.
yeah, i suck at it. i try, but i usually only remember by the skin of my teeth, and call in a panic that i've missed it. sometimes even (especially) when i know something's coming up, it goes sailing right by without me noticing it... like the awareness of the special event becomes part of my mental environment, i get so used to it 'coming up' that I miss the arrival.
if that makes any sense. :p
you remembered mine unlike some assholes. oops, can you sense my hostility??
Glad you didn't lose the necklace!!
