15 May
You know what I love about journalling? The feedback.
I've gotten so much nice mail the past couple of days from sympathetic (but not pitying!) people, and I really appreciate it.
As opposed to people in my real life.
Not that any of them (except for Cynthia, to whom I am not referring) know what's up, but I have been obviously unhappy for a couple of days, stone-faced and quiet, and people just will not leave me the hell alone!
Not that I have any objections to people asking what's wrong, but once I say "Nothing", you don't have to believe me, just accept that I don't want to talk about it and lay off.
But no! Not the people I work with! Just because I'm not chattering like a magpie, they feel the need to get in my face and press and bother me and try to cheer me up. I do not want to be cheered up, I want to be left alone.
Of course, you can't say that.
That's what I like about The Raccoon. She doesn't pry, she figured if I want to talk about something, I will, and I give her the same courtesy.
Iko wrote me a note saying that she always found out right away whether someone was interested, and if they weren't, she'd move on and blah blah blah (she's a better man than I), but then continued to say that the real reason for her writing was because she was most distressed by my statement that I no longer care about Star Wars!
Well, maybe I still do...we'll see.
I also got alot of mail saying "I'm a longtime reader and I just have one question. What private mailing list?"
Longtime reader perhaps, careful reader, no! Had you hit the year ago today yesterday you would have gotten subscription instructions, co-incidentally.
However, I will save you the time, if you want to join, send a blank email here.
Here it is, the first Saturday night in almost a year, and I don't have a date. I don't know if I'm going out or not. I may stay home and eat ice cream. Or maybe I'll go see Election. Nik and I were going to see Midsummer--we had been looking forward to it for months, but I think I'll hold off for a bit. Besides, Rachel was an extra in Election, so that's reason enough!
Of course, the ice cream is rocky road...
Today's horoscope:
Focusing on how you are NOT having fun will lead to more of the same. Notice ways to enhance your enjoyment of leisure activities.
One year ago today:
Anyway, I bring this up because last weeks she had the hugest zit on her chin. I was stunned to find that she is, in fact, human!
