This is my last quitting smoking post.Category: life
So, I more or less quit smoking about 12 days ago, except not really, I still had one in the morning and one at night. No longer. I'm going down to zero.
To throw my hat over the wall, I'm going to vow on the memory of my mother that I'm done. Mom, I promise that I am done smoking. This is it for me.
Hopefully I don't fuck it up, I'll feel super guilty after failing since I'm promising it this way.

One thing that has helped me is when I started to think of the cigarette as the cause of my unhappiness.

I do. I think it is an absolutely disgusting habit. The smell makes me sick to my stomach not to mention the jaw dropping stupidity of it. But, I try not to be a dick about it.... which I just failed at doing.
But you wouldn't want his present. It is some sort of nerdy nerd computer thing. The sort of thing that looks barren unless it is stacked with comic books and Jug Fugler's magazine.

It is the best birthday present you could receive... which is why I am returning your actual birthday present. It just seemed so cheap and hollow next to this ^_^

Saturday?Does anyone want to do anything tomorrow afternoon? I'm on my own while James is engaging in political machinations.
Watchmen is showing at Noon, which I haven't seen, but pretty much everyone else has. Or I'm up for lunch or pretty much anything other then sitting home on my birthday :)

This comment caught my eye. I was crampy in the morning as well... Hmm. Did anyone else feel the same?
I had a really good time too. This morning was a bit gassy though.
I had a lovely time, thank you!!
I loved your hairstyle. :) Have a great year ahead, Jim!
It was a great idea to have a private party, I thought it was a perfect venue. I was impressed with the place - I'll definitely be back for an after work drink at least, and they mentioned a "Tapas Tuesday" that I want to check out. I hope you enjoyed yourself eventually! It was cool to see PJ.
PS - after we left we went to go deliver our rent check, and I made a wrong turn into the truly seedy portion of the west side and proceeded to get lost in that spider web layout... we were followed by a cop all the way up from Niagara to Forest, then down Forest to Richmond before he pulled us over. No problems, but he must have thought it was suspicious for some reason. I just wanted to bring the check to the landlady and get the hell out of there!
Sorry I missed out. Happy Day, Jim
I had a fabulous time. Thanks!
We had a great time. Thanks!
