hello, blog!

oh, how i've missed you! i didn't realize how dependant on blogging i had gotten until events forced me to neglect you. you are a dear friend and i swear i'll never let this happen again.

so much is new and exciting in my life, dearest blog. i've been spending a great deal of time with my family. it's actually fun to escape the city and hide out in the suburbs every weekend. just look at the fun things i've seen!

you'd better watch out. that "lench" mob is pretty tough.

the city of my youth is being demolished one building at a time. it's pretty sad.

after demolishing the death star, luke found a new foe - literacy. damn you, reading!

i driving behind a car with a license plate holder that read "cougar mommy." i tried to take a picture but sadly, it didn't turn out.

the theater where i first saw "return of the jedi" is now a church. apparently the son of god is among the coming attractions.

they seem to be big supporters of some politician named righteousness. i'm not familiar with him. i also thought elections were over. stupid me.

so i started seeing someone. he's wonderful. i know that for a fact. i had a crush on him 20 years ago when we were in junior high together. he is one of the bright spots about visiting bremerton and port orchard. i think i'm blushing as i write this.

i really don't do so well in the dating arena but i'm willing to take a chance on him. i took him to the puppet museum last saturday and he actually enjoyed it as much as i do. he beat my butt in trivial pursuit (AFTER i made the rule that if we got a sports question we could roll again) and i kicked his ass in loteria. it started snowing and he was kind enough to hang out with me at my parents house until it was safe to drive again. i made him watch "dark city" and i think he liked it!

this wednesday he made the mistake of telling me didn't like "the office" so i forced him to watch two of my favorite episodes and called him out anytime he laughed. he has a nice laugh. i think i scare him a little bit.

i had to work today but it was a ton of fun. sweetpea, heather and i were brainstorming about our new theoretical website, lesbianseatingout.com. it''ll be about how bitter and nit-picky most of our lesbian customers are and how they have to "customize" every item on the menu, even water!

"can i get big glass filled only halfway with water, no ice, a squeeze of lemon and a straw?"

"i want the veggie omelet, but i want no veggies, a thick slice of swiss cheese placed on top after it's cooked, some grilled sprouts on the side and bacon chunks in my hashbrowns."

"i just want to tell you, the service here is awful. i said i didn't want any more coffee and then no one came to give me a refill. they should've have at least checked to make sure i still didn't want anymore."

the cripple kicker came in today, too. i blame it on sweetpea since she mentioned his name. i did my best to ignore and avoid him. he finally cornered me when he came up to pay.

"look, i'm wearing big boots today, time traveler!" he leered at me as he pointed this out. i don't know why he calls me "time traveler", but he does.

i looked him dead in the eye and without smiling quipped, "i'll be sure not to go near you." the other girls ran away laughing. will he ever get a clue? probably not.

kalilah and i treated ourselves to thai food and sapporos after work at lee's asian restaurant. sarah pailin thai doesn't open until 4p on weekends. oh well, lee's is great too. some drugged out kid saw us through the window and came in, asking us if we could give him a dollar for the bus. the waitress waved a menu at him and i just said, "NO NO NO NO" with increasing volume, attempting to drown him out. kalilah and i figured we must've looked like easy marks, which REALLY made us giggle. a dollar for the bus... is that what the kids are calling it nowadays?

i took today's picture in my room. i just wanted to get in and climb into pj's and prop the achy ankle up as quickly as possible. oh - and blog, too. like ya do. mission accomplished!
