whoa, i have quite a lot to say since i didn't write yesterday. i have a bad cold and came home from work yesterday before noon. so i went to bed early before writing an entry. my voice is raspy and as sexy as sin. actually, it's not sexy at all. more like as ugly as sin.

anyway, yesterday i picked up a bag of clothes my mom's house that she's been trying to convince me to get rid of for probably seven years. when i got home, i started to go thru it and found that these sentimental clothes from high school actually FIT!! i'm excited for two reason, one – being the same size as i was in high school is a huge accomplishment, and two – i get to wear my totally tubular plaid bell-bottoms once again!! yay!! i LOVE those pants. so awesome.

tonight, rhonda and i went to see blades of glory, and man, i'm telling ya THAT's a hilarious movie. we laughed our asses off. after that we went to indigo and ended up having quite a long conversation in the aisle of the music section, so i suggested we go to the goat. we had a nice day full of activities. i really like days like that, living alone it's rare that i spend more than 4 hours with a single person. that's one thing i miss about having housemates.

beckie suggested to me recently that maybe i need to meet some new people. and as i've thought of it, i think she's right. i've been in a bit of a rut. in need of a change, something new. so making new friends may hit the spot. we're entering a season of change, so who knows WHO i might meet this summer! since my social detox began in february, i've remained stepped back. i'd kind of decided it was time for me to "let go of some friendships" and see if those relationships fizzle out without my initiative or if they'll carry on. kind of pull the life-support to see what happens. this was not a "test", it was more a matter of sifting my relationships – seeing which ones had substance and which didn't. of the friendships that have fizzled, i'm not surprised by any of them. and i actually feel better knowing that i'm not putting lots of effort into relationships that are just hanging by a thread. but i think my social detox is over, and i want to be socially engaged again.

i've started calling pekoe: koe-koe. haha. i really like it and think it suits him. i find it funny because it reminds me of that gorilla.

my place is a bit of a mess right now because i didn't do my dishes before bed yesterday or put away my bag of clothes. even though its 1:27 in the morning, i'm going to make myself do those things, i don't want to suffer tomorrow for yesterday's mistakes.

me and the cats have got our heads up to the screen,
we're watching the rain make everything clean.
