8 02 pm pdt   [ random information ]

The bottoms of my feet are the color of cantaloupe.

I don't like it when bartenders and bouncers eye me suspiciously while looking at my id, because my license picture looks exactly like me.

I want my kids to have chores so that they feel invested in the household. I want to give them an allowance which is not tied to their chores in any way.

Once, when I was in elementary school, I tripped on the front steps at my mom's house. I fell down them head first into a plastic toy wheelbarrow that was at the bottom. I cracked it. My friend Alexandra, who witnessed my fall, still teases me about how hard my head is.

I think smoking is the worst personal habit on the planet.

Mild salsa is often too spicy for me.

I love coming home on my birthday and finding a whole stack of mail and a whole series of messages sending love and wishes from people I love.

I love getting mail.

Sometimes my body aches for exercise. Without knowing why, I'll have a compulsion to put on music and dance around until I'm out of breath, or go walking for several hours.

I would like to have a regular exercise regiment.

If I could change one thing about my appearance, I would ask for flawless skin. My flawed skin is hereditary, and I feel bad for my brother because he has it even worse than me.

I don't not believe that there is a single person who we are meant to spend our lives with. Thankfully, neither does Matthew. I know that I could marry Matthew, have a family and a home with him, and never touch another. I also know that if I were to break up with Matthew, I would probably find a small handful of other men I could say the same thing about. Perhaps none of them could make me as happy as him, or perhaps they could make me happier. There is no way to know...

I have an urge to bake a pie.

I plan on making another mp3 entry soon.

I miss my camera.

I love my dog. I love the gritty sound of his snoring.

I enjoy people watching and eavesdropping.

I have an insatiable curiosity.

We have a stained glass window in our living room, and I have spent many hours watching the shifting shades of sunlight pour into the house.

I like brain teasers, mind puzzles, and logic games.

I get true pleasure from being able to help someone with one of my skills.

My desktop machine arrived in the mail today from New York.

It was raining harder today than I can ever remember it raining here before.

It rains an average of 14 days a year here in Los Angeles.

I did not leave the house today.

I love not leaving the house all day.

I have had a terrible time paying my bills on time of late. I don't know what that lethargy is all about, but I hope I can kick it soon.

I am tired and intend to go to bed early.

 

 

 

 

two years ago today: "Now I am a drowsy girlie."

one year ago today: I didn't write, probably celebrating my anniversary early.
