Thanks for the e-hugs, you know who you are.

Had a pretty intense cry, then a long nap (sometimes bed is where you gotta be); it just all got to me, and then I felt so tired and tired of being alone in all the endeavors (which is how it felt) of my life. I don't think you can really remember how hard alone can be when you're in a couple--and nearly everyone I know is (which carries it's own set of pricklies--once I'm down the thoughts about my own freakishness and utter failure as a human being can be deafening).

And yeah, this is all pretty self-centered.

Anyway. Cry and nap, then went with Alexandra to The Dionysium where she bought me dinner and I got lots of real-time hugs (which, really, is what I needed; down to basic chemistry there) from Pam, Chad, Graham, Buzz, and others. Made all the difference in the world. I also wrote a story in the ten-minute story competition (Buzz specifically asked me to), and it won. (not a lot of competition this time). Theme and first line we were given by the audience: a monkey knife fight and "Weeping, I lowered my gun." So I went with jungle temple pulp, naturally.

The Dionysium really is a very cool thing. Debate, lecture, short films, music, singing of dithyrams, dramatic readings (a Mark Twain thing last night), food (I had a Wild at Artichoke Heart pizza and Foxy Brown sugar lemonade)...

On other subjects, impeach Bush. That's all.

Faith requests and I respond.

20 random facts about me:

1. I like asian-esque flower and branch arrangements, but when I look at the flower selections in markets I can seldom find anything that inspires me.
2. I think people who say television is evil and bad are a little silly.
3. When I was in 6th grade, I remember being able to look at a chapter before a test and then recall the pages in my mind and read the answers off of them; I can no longer do this.
4. Finding someone and being in a long-term intimate relationship with them seems to me like a magic trick that nearly everyone can do but that I just can't get.
5. I have begun flipping off anyone driving a hummer, to their faces.
6. With a couple of exceptions, I find it hard to trust people who do not like animals.
7. I dance crazy alone in my loft.
8. If I had three wishes, one of them would be that I would be able to play the violin really really well.
9. I love accordian music.
10. A house without animals seems partly dead to me.
11. I daydreamed of being a knight errant, a loyal adventurer to Arthur, and saving people when I was a kid; the women's roles in the legends were almost universally uninteresting to me.
12. I have never owned a new car.
13. Rich people kind of piss me off, though I try to ameliorate this feeling with more enlightened ones.
14. I respect imagination more than power.
15. I love pineapple and feel bad that the growing conditions of most pineapples mean I shouldn't buy it.
16. Any recipe that requires more than one pot or pan will usually not be attempted by me.
17. I prefer lightly steamed vegetables to salad.
18. My eyes are avocado colored.
19. Emotionally, I have been pretty much on my own and taking care of myself by myself since I was six; this is why I sometimes feel very tired and discouraged and wish I could at least get an agent so there'd be someone in my corner on at least one front of my life.
20. I think I would have made a pretty brilliant interior designer or set designer.
