This post is kinda about religion so I'll put it behind a cut, although it's just my own feelings -
Tonight I'm feeling guilty because I'm not going tomorrow, but there is one other reason I don't want to go tomorrow. I'm sliding into a depression funk, I can feel it coming on. I'm supposed to go to Vegas on Thursday to spend time with a scrapbook friend, but right now, I'm thinking of canceling that. I just don't want to be around people. If I had my way today, I would have stayed in bed all day, true my parents are here, but I'm just not feeling sociable.
I did enjoy the movie we went to tonight, but it was a battle within myself to go. I have felt like crying all day, but people have always been around me. I can feel the tears welling up now, so Master will hear me sniffle in a few minutes. My medication levels are fine, it's just a depression and as of right now it's mild, but I know it's going to go deeper, as I haven't been in a deep depression in awhile.
Of course I will ride the waves and will be fine, but I'm gonna hide away from people as much as possible, because along with depression, I'm become a grump!

We just go back from seeing the movie "Wall e" and it was really good, my parents went with us. After the movie we said our good-byes, they headed toward their hotel and we headed home. I had a pretty good weekend with my parents. We watched fireworks last night, bar-b-qued too with the new grill they bought us.
We just hung out and spend some quiet time together. I know that I stressed all last week about them coming, but there really was no reason to stress. The house wasn't perfectly clean, but like Master said neither is theirs. We also, or rather Master talked to them about possibly buying a foreclosure condo here and letting us rent it from them, which would be nice. The place that we talked to them about has 2200 square feet, which is 700 more than we have, so the extra space would be awesome, plus it's still close to Aggi's school, which works really well for me.
So tomorrow my parents head back to Colorado, I will miss them, but that's what phones are for!!
I even got to talk to my brother today which was so awesome, he called because he knew that they were going to be at my house. I always enjoying talking to him. I told him that I love him, and I got the "yup, ok." Which is normal for J, I don't think he's ever actually said "I love you," he doesn't say to mom and dad either, it's just the way J is. I think he doesn't want to show is warm cuddly side, cause when you take away the drugs from J's life, he is such a sweetie and a big teddy-bear.
That's it for tonight and I'm even done with my journal before the day is up. Yay me!!

Because Georgia asked, here's a picture of my tortoise, Rowdy!

She's currently nom-nom-noming on a cherry tomato, I think she's in love with them.

| A little change of pace |
[04 Jul 2008|11:54pm] |
I've had a journal on LJ for coming up on 6 years in one form or another, and I'm finding that I'm changing and I think I need a change in my journal as well, so I'm striking out in a different direction, with a fresh start. After 2800+ entries on the other journal, I want to try something different, and that's what this journal is going to be about, for the most part, although I expect it will denigrate into a mishmash of what the other one was, between memes and what all is going on in my life, and around my old house.
Still and all, the other journal was more of a bdsm/fetish sort of thing, at least that's how it started and now 6 years into not having had anyone to play with, its been long and away gone from that, so I think that's another reason I need to be starting fresh and new. Independence Day has a new meaning, at least for me, just making a new mark and perhaps end up with a different understanding of a great number of things....or not, that's what makes life interesting, at least as I've found over the years.
Where will it all end up? Good question, I guess I'll find out as time moves along.

. Much of my organizational world seems to be falling into place at the moment (I hope my personal life catches up with it sometime soon [and then goddess blesses me, the Butch and I are talking again]). MVK inviting me to be on their incipient board, VASM asking me to be the Program Committee Chair, The Frugal Domme wanting me to vend beside her at Folsom, and now I'm going to get something going in my own hometown I've always wanted. Tuesday August 26th at Friction (Vancouver's newest [and nicest] gay bath house [123 Pender St, just around the corner from the Lotus]), MVK presents a very kinky, very mixed (yes really, everyone with manners is welcome) evening at the baths. Standard rates apply with a toonie donation thrown in for MVK. It's a big place on two floors (the main floor is accessible), very shiny, lots of rooms (there's lockers [cheap!], sling rooms and doubles too), and an amazing amount of public play/sex space (and there's an inside bike rack :o). I thought it would be like pulling teeth getting the manager to listen, but he went for it. We're looking at doing five or so on a Tuesday, then if we can build a successful event, he's willing to look at weekend dates. I want input on how to introduce unfamiliar folks to the experience. So I'm asking; How should we promote it? What problems should we prepare for? What kind of programming should we run? Would you attend?

If I hear any ambulance tonight, I'm going to be smiling - because maybe one of those idiots managed to hurt/kill themselves.

| When geeks go to the kitchen |
[04 Jul 2008|12:07pm] |
OMG, SQUEEEEE! When ThinkGeek has cooking items, you KNOW they're going to be geeky.
Let's see, there's the DIY reconfigurable drinking strawz, a measuring cup that reads like a trivia game, a single timer that can count down for each of your four burners independantly, automatic home doughnut maker, even an all-edges brownie pan (no more centers!).
And of course, the greatest thing ever... A true "OMGWTFBBQ" BBQ apron!
(by the way, I think I mentioned this before, but in case I didn't, ThinkGeek also has electronic bubble wrap for you to pop!)

| Things I learned tonight |
[04 Jul 2008|12:14am] |
I was going to go out drinking tonight at a trendy pickup spot. Instead, I got sidetracked by a very nerdy thing. What, you ask? I'm reformatting my laptop, re-installing Linux from source code (Gentoo), and trying to enable whole-disk AES encryption (LUKS) at the same time.
I'm not right. :-P
Also, I'm no programmer, but watching code compile makes me happy. :-)

My back has been giving me issues since I got off the plane on Sunday. Today it feels like a pebble or a marble maybe is sitting just underneath my shoulder blade. It's a quiet, persistent pain. The kind that flares and then ebbs like ripples in a pond. Yet instead of a pond it's my right shoulder and the pain extends down my arm almost to my elbow making it quite painful to move (before anyone suggests I've already done a series of stretches in hopes of easing the muscle).
I thought it was my bra but after removing my bra it's gotten worse. To the point that I've wrapped one of my sarongs around me as if it were a dress and it doesn't even come near my shoulder but still the lack of pressure doesn't ease the pain.
On the upside I'm watching Rome. It's a really beautiful story and I'm surprised by how easy it is to decifer Latin/Italian, and how funny it is that I know/remember as much as I do.
To the point that I laughed at some graffiti and Ian asked me what I was laughing at. I said that the wall said Atia sucks cock, loosely translated mind you. He asked how I knew. Atia fellate (blank, because I couldn't read it). He nodded.
They also use Salve quite often. Always nice to hear a proper Latin greeting. I'm such a language nerd at times.

| Dear Roy Orbison and Willie Nelson, |
[02 Jul 2008|05:43pm] |
Will you two please get together, despite the fact that one of you is dead, and sing me duets until I fall asleep?
I think I'd have sweet dreams EVERY night.
Roy, you could even drive all night. *nods*
Thanks guys, you're the greatest ever!
Love, Emily
