WE GOT THE BUILDING!!!
Rock on.
Weekend o' Fun
Feb. 24th, 2003 06:35 pmYay.
Puck, Jared, Jason and I went to Short Mountain Sanctuary and IDA on whim.
Left Friday and made it to SMS about 3am, after getting lost and then getting stuck in knee-deep mud. We lucked out; the owner of the property happened to be awake and faerie-friendly, and he pulled us out.
Saturday, we all walked down to the rock house area, and Jason and I went on to the end of the valley. Went to IDA later and attended Simon's bar mitzvah, and hear the residents play, then back to SMS to bed.
Woke up Sunday to snow! Lots of it. Yes, we played in it. Puck got some pictures. Had breakfast, then back to IDA to deliver Tom the wine that Puck promised him. Jason and I went crawling around the bat caves, and I took him up to see the waterfall.
You know, the experience was far less dry than my writing. Heh.
Anyway, we had fun, and got the fuck out of dodge for awhile, and didn't tell anyone we were going.
It was nice.
It is to be noted that while writing this, I was simultaneously teaching Jerry how to get porn newsgroups.

wrote this yesterday, but LJ was getting attack-ed. so I post it now.
------------------
I'm just not going to get any space while living in this house. I've come to this conclusion.
Everyone left for movie night. I stayed behind, thinking, "Ooh, empty house. Now's my chance!"
But, no. First, Tim showed up to say hi, and then Jerry showed up to move his crap in and hop a squat on the couch. He was expected to be here two days ago.
I really have no idea how this is gonna last very much longer, especially with my upcoming shift change.
I literally have no time to be alone, no total privacy.
I knew this was a busy house and all... We are the local faerie house. But jesus christ.

Feb. 19th, 2003 05:57 pmHad a longer post the other day, but LJ was busy, and I never got around to posting it. Now it is gone forever into the land of Reboot-And-Lose-Data.
So. Here I am.
The weekend turned out not to be as busy as expected. The tree planting didn't happen, the protest was small and short, and we didn't go to Equality Tennessee.
I did, however, get laid a bunch.
Got drunk a bunch, too.
They changed my goddammn schedule at work, from 8-4:30 to motherfucking 9:30-6. So, now I've got to re-figure my transportation as I am carless, and my period of alone-time which usually runs from 5-6:30ish is blasted.
No, the fabulous weekend does not make up for the loss of all of my personal time.
Grr.

Saturday is rainy and gray.
Feb. 15th, 2003 04:11 pmThe tree planting didn't occur, I think. It's been raining for a couple days, and as it was supposed to happen in the river bottoms.. no.
Went to the rally.. it was kinda leetle. A few people spoke, mostly about "It costs X dollars for X hours of war. That money could be used to fix up X number of schools." Then, everyone left. The end.
Afterwards, went to get pizza with Jason, Patrik, Guy, Louis, Doug, Jim, and Vincent.
Now I am home, and sluggish.

Feb. 13th, 2003 06:06 pmGot my DIMMs, and all is well.
The re-cut paycheck has been mailed, so all's well there, too.
Tonight.. I do laundry. Tomorrow.. Party. Saturday.. Planting trees in the morning with the Wolf River Conservancy, then an anti-war rally downtown, then some other stuff going on too. A full weekend.
Now I sit and revel in the fact that I just went outside in nothing but a pair of cut-off Hanes Her Way sweatshorts and enjoyed the lovely ~60 degree weather.
Yay.

Feb. 10th, 2003 06:40 pmSoo...
Got the lost check fixed up. They've put a stop payment on the old one and will cut a new one Wednesday. w00
My order for the DIMMs has been processed; those should arrive Wednesday as well, at the latest Friday.
Jason is having thoughts concerning our relationship; he's going through the "what if problem happens" stage, which I have been a little, as well. Nothing dramatic, thankfully; he's just mad at himself for fearing and worrying over problems that haven't happened, and he says my words and behavior contradict those fears. MMMMmmMmmMMmm relationship stuff.
Circle last night rocked; we had a long discussion about polyamory and what it meant to those in the group that identified as such. Those that are mono by default or by choice didn't have much to say, but they all said they got a lot to think about from it, which is groovy.

Feb. 8th, 2003 05:41 pmMy day? Nope! [update 09/02]what that fuck is that?
Jason and I got up around noon, after a nice restful sleep. We went to Young Avenue Deli for lunch, then he went home to take care of some stuff. I proceeded to do laundry and try to figure out why this linux kernel I've been trying to compile won't boot.
After a bit I decided I wanted to go outside, so I was gonna go over to my bank and deposit my paycheck.. and discovered I've lost it. So, I figured on Monday I'll just talk to my manager and HR and have them put a stop-payment on that one and issue another. No big deal.
Then.. I got the bright idea to try to stick an extra DIMM Louis has in my machine. After doing so, my system will no longer boot at all. No POST, no nothing. Just a dead machine. So, I ordered more DIMMs to see if maybe I just killed the others somehow.
Hopefully, both issues will be fixed with the first thing I'm trying on both of them. If not.. I will be just slightly irritated.

After Wednesday, things went better. Work was just particularly annoying this week, and Jason being in the hospital didn't help.
As for work.. hrm. I went into the job thinking, "Hey, a needed service, this might be neat." Now I'm thinking, "Jesus fucking christ, the public treats deaf people like shit, for no reason at all" and end up leaving work pissed off every day. Before I started this job, with my limited previous contact with the deaf community, I knew it sucks for them at times; working at this place though, I come to a more full realisation.. it's sometimes impossible for them to even call a store and ask if they have a product, because the hearing person is so fucking afraid of the relay call process, and they're kind of put off simply by the fact that it's a deaf person. The ones who aren't afraid of it and give it a try, most often seem to be doing it out of pity, which is just as shitty. It's just a goddamn phone call, but I guess it's too complicated for most people to understand, or else they think they have to at least pretend to understand, or be thought to be an asshole.
now I'm just bitching, so I'll stop.

blahblahblah
Feb. 3rd, 2003 10:21 pmThat's what I hear when my manager talks to me. Blahblahblah...
I'm tired, and I have to pee.
Jason's in the hospital; he blacked out for apparently no reason. Mmm. CAT scans.
This past weekend was a "Let's get drunk!" weekend, which I enjoyed. Sunday circle was potluck for Imbolc. It was groovy.
Umm. Yeap.
--------------------------------------
Okay; I wrote that four hours ago; LJ was too busy to accept my POST, so I let it sit. Now, I append.
Motherfucker I hate hospitals.
Last time I was in one was for Terri, and that's about all I thought about while I was there.

Update of an LJ Slacker..
Feb. 1st, 2003 10:39 amOkay, so I've been lazy about my LJ-ing. What've I been doing recently? Hmm.
Been hanging out with Jason a lot, of course, and things are going quite fabulously. He's a little nervous about being in a poly situation; this is his first relationship with such an arrangement, though he says he's held poly ideals for some time. If/when another person pops up, we'll see how that works out.
Saw Apples in Stereo recently. They're purty neeftee.
Finally got my computer running. It's sitting on the floor. So am I. How coincidental!
I hate my job. The job *itself* isn't so bad, except that it's mindless. The *environment*, however.. jesus christ. My supervisor's a bit of a passive-agressive bitch, and our policies suck.
Still waiting to hear from the city about our warehouse bid. Monday marks 120 days, which is supposedly the latest they're supposed to review it. We'll see. (insert heart thumping here)
The house situation is interesting. Doug's husband kicked him out and he's staying here now. Jerry will be here on the 15th. I have no idea how this is going to work out, physically, as the only horizontal spacec left for sleeping is the futon. Hope he likes futons.
Played DDR for the first time. I suck.
I shaved my head again yesterday, and got rid of my big 70's sideburns.
umm.. yup. I think that's the rundown of my current situation. I have nothing introspective to add, as I've not been thinking about such things, which I've considered a blessing.

I have heard how god sings
Jan. 6th, 2003 06:52 pmhmm. Let's see.
Work's.. eh. It's either too slow or the people on the phone annoy me. I didn't get my bid off for the 20th so I won't be going to Short Mountain Sanctuary that weekend, godfuckit.
We're --><-- that close to finding out if we got the building or not. The countdown begins...
mmm. Jason.
I went and hung out with the guy that gave me his number at Walgreen's. Nice guy. That's really all I have to say about it. I'm supposed to go to dinner with him tomorrow, but I'm kind of leaning against it.
I have the itch to buy something. Preferably an entertaining gadget. Gameboy Advance, anyone?
My boots arrived. They rock.
To reiterate: Mmm. Jason.
umm.. I haven't had anything introspective to post in awhile. No definitions of personal terms, no confusion about anything.. it's kinda nice being all social and busy n stuff and being able to put into practice (mmm. Jason.) the ideals I've held for awhile, but wasn't able to due to past.. circumstances. The bit about Patrick I referred to in a previous post passed gracefully; he just needed time.
So..yes. Everything continues to go well.
Tug/Violet passed away. I don't know the details. I think![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dismalorb was the only person on my list who knew him.. maybe orpheusrabbit or trickymartin knew him as well? anyway. I'll post again when I know more.

Jan. 4th, 2003 04:24 pmFour hours and almost four hundred dollars later, and I'm on my way to wellness.
There was a hot guy in the waiting room while I was there. Later, our paths crossed at Walgreens to get our prescriptions filled. While I was waiting around outside, he passed by in his truck. Went inside, script wasn't ready yet, so I came back out, smoked a cigarette, went back in to buy some things, and there he was again. Later, once again outside, he comes out, gets in his truck, leaves.. and comes back to hand me a phone number and talk for a minute.
The randomness of that is extremely amusing.

Jan. 1st, 2003 04:31 pmowww... I ache.
Lessee... got off early yesterday. Came home and helped clean the kitchen. Napped a little bit.
Patrik came over, and we had a good talk and put some shit behind us.
Jason got here, and we unveiled the quilt everyone made for Guy&Louis for their anniversary.
Then.. we proceeded to get drunk. mmm. Drunk.
totally missed midnight due to a rather impromptu heart circle that happened, but oh well. It was groovy.
then proceeded to get drunk.
Got to bed shortly after 3am, stayed there with Jason 'till 3 this afternoon.
Now.. I ache. Last night's debauchery with today's exercise.
La.
