Why are all the Mexicans celebrating today? Why, because it's my eight year journalversary, of course! Also, Cinco de Mayo, but I'm certain that it's the former rather than the latter causing that big party down on Olvera St.

I cannot even picture my life if I wasn't doing this. The two things that changed my life 100% are joining Love Creek and starting this journal. Literally everything about my life would be different, not to mention the fact that I have really improved as a writer. I kind of sucked at the beginning, a little bit.

You want to be a better writer? Write every day for eight years. Or rather, write every day for six years, and then every few days, sometimes catching up ten entries at a time for two years.

My goal is to get back to the writing every day thing. For such a long time I could absolutely be counted on, not only just to write every day but to write almost at the same time every day, maybe within a two hour period.

I have something like forty entries to write before I can upload this one, and I really want to do that today. We'll see.

Yesterday I went out with Tracing, meeting her down by her office and having dinner at the place where I had the croque monsieur before Christmas. I had the same thing. Sound fancy, but it's just a cheese sandwich, and you can't go wrong with that.

I still owe her a birthday present, which I haven't gotten for her yet, but I did manage to have her Queen of the Month present! Which I left on my desk so I didn't actually give it to her, but at least I have it! Only four months late. I sent out everyone else's (and it was awfully funny to watch the postal workers try to work those new machines, it was like watching my Da try to work the VCR), so I hope you girls enjoy them!

I wanted to see a movie, but she didn't want to stay out so late. And the movie that I most want to see is Kill Bill Vol. 2 and I have to re-watch Vol. 1 first. So Tracing saved me from seeing it without the proper preparation. Thanks, Tracing!

Today's horoscope:
All that mystery and intrigue you've been dealing with and maybe even enjoying (just a little) is about to come to an end. Before that happens, be sure you've said everything you need to say -- in private.

One year ago today:
Man, they sure dragged out the last few episodes of Iron Chef, didn't they? I was beginning to think that they would never manage to crown that King of Iron Chefs, that there would always be one more battle.
