wedsnesday was fun :) I went to merge with Tanya to celebrate her last day at 7-11... I got the miso udon bowl - it was so good. I took a pic of it because it looked so nice, but i guess my phone ate it? i can't find it :(

we went back to her place and chatted away ove some beers. she started at fedex today and should be getting home any moment, now. she's going from 16k to 30k a year! that bitch is middle class now! leaving me in the dust, haha...

i ended up staying up so late... i ended up having strange, strange dreams about people i've never even met.

--

today started lazy, and then i worked... now i've got an essay due tomorrow morning. won't be too hard...

(e:paul) I'm just so over the weather, at this point. i'm over it. i don't care how cold it is, i am now just going to pretend it is as warm as it's supposed to be and dress accordingly, cold hands be damned! so done.
paul - 04/12/13 20:18
I love shaving my head but it was too cold for me to do it yet.

(e:hodown) why don't you whip out those old glitta pens and some fun stationary and write a letter for old time's sake :)

I really do love writing letters. (e:mike) that's really awesome! what a sweet memory... I once had a pen pal in japan. getting mail from so far away really is the coolest thing.
mike - 04/10/13 17:56
I also still have letters (e:paul) used to send from Germany , I remember thinking how great it was he would send letters from all the way across the ocean!
mike - 04/10/13 17:54
getting actual letters is so fun! I used to get the occasional glitter written letter from (e:hodown). I am sure I still have them around here somewhere!

Aw that reminds me of Paul and I when we were young and had enough energy to write. Now we just text every few weeks to gossip.

Hrm.

monday was aight... i think? i was extremely tired. i skipped my first class and went to the later one. april and i went shopping for dinner ingredients to make lentils... I found a yam shaped like a phone :)

today was kind of long and busy. i only got 3ish hours of sleep. i had to accompany my sister to court today only to find out i didn't have to... so i was up and awake at 7am for no reason at all :D but i guess it as a nice, productive day. class went fine and i got a lot done for it. spanish group was canceled... le sad.

I thought of maybe stating to garden here, but i really don't know if i should bother. i may choose to live alone, come the end f this lease. i love michael and april but i am sick of hearing april and her boyfriend fight and fuck. i do not want to hear my older sister orgasming... sorry sis. I am also tired of hearing her scream. I've had enough screaming in my life. she's so chaotic. i wish she was the way she is when she's alone with me all the time, because it's like two different people. she's so calm and serene with me. i love that april. i guess i love all of her. she's just tough to live with sometimes. I'm glad i'm such an easy going person, or things would get ugly. I realize that this complaining make me seems a little victim-y but i promise i'm not, i'm just fed up. i know what i wanna do, and that's most likely to just be alone. no one is responsible for any of the ridiculousness you find in your home except for you, and that's such a refreshing feeling - to not blame. to know who did it, and not care. i miss doing that.

i really wish i could have my own garden. to have dirt to dig into, to smell eath, touch green, plant a life, and to watch it grow great and grand, a bit mundane and a bit sacred. pure life, manifested. i want to be in it, around it, touching it, loving it.

hopefully, i'm going to be able to help jodie with her garden projects she does around the city and the one she's starting for O3... i want more of her in my life. she's a positive force, an action oriented person, and i need doers close to me. They give me so much inspiration to be a doer, myself, because otherwise, i fall pray to the sedentary lifestyle.
  • sigh* so many things.

i went to a discussion about US-S.korea aggression towards N. korea, the norths reaction, etc...

it was actually a great talk/comment,question session after the talk. Garrett, my friend, presented. it was at the IAC. I went specifically because i am so cautious/iffy about north korea... and i think, more than having opened my mind, the event helped me to make the connection/connect the dots i should have been able to do myself, but wasn't.

I think the biggest factor in all of this, the topic which passes no one's lips in the west is self-determination. it doesn't matter if a people are living under a system we don't like, or are less "free" or this or that, etc - what matters is what THEY are going to do about it. what THEY want. if they don't want something to be there, let them get rid of it. let them change it. it's not our job, it's not our problem, and changing their way of being benefits very few people ever as we see time and time again. i won't go on an endless rant about it, but we all know who i mean. (the aristocracy) i am not us vs them about class warfare, personally, but i can plainly see that it exists. i don't really relate to people as robert the poor person from such and such demographic. I am human d interacting with human f. in so far as i can muster that attitude of being... because it certainly never works all of the time.

why am i still writing?

i had a cleaning fit after going home in the rain. i get claustrophobic around the crowded apartment full of things i do not own, and sometimes i just want to throw everything out and just have a simple home with few possessions

woof.

that's my backyard down there V, all those random backyard pics.
