So guess who called me last night, sounding sad and lonely?

Hipster.

Yes, Hipster. I hadn't talked to him since ... I don't even know when. I do know that it's literally been years, though.

He wants to get together. I said sure, why not.

Oh, and n0thingman, you'll love this: Guess who he's living with now? Marcus!

Today is Sprout's birthday. How do I remember this? Because he has the same birthday as my best friend from high school, Miss Prissy Pants. And how do I remember Miss Prissy Pants' birthday? Because it's 7-11 ...

It's a big week for birthdays, actually. Chey's (and Shannon's!) was Monday, lurpy's was yesterday (did you get my message?), and Hipster's ( ( Read more... )

There's a tiny little ray of optimism inside of me. You see, everything starts in October.

I think n0thingman is the only person who really understands this, although I've talked with pghwob about it some. I don't know that I could really explain it if I tried, so you'll simply have to take it on faith: everything starts in October ( Read more... )

I'm just getting home from Unblurred. I actually hadn't gone to Unblurred in several months (some of you may recall the disaster that was my last trip to Unblurred). But tonight was fabulous. The street was literally filled with good friends of mine. I got to have a long talk with la_nuque (aka shalomcarrie), and, later, an equally long talk with Lindsay, a former Co- ( Read more... )

The party was last night. Thanks to too much inebriation and too little sleep, this won't be the huge update that it deserves to be, but I wanted to jot down a few thoughts before collapsing into bed.

The party was a delight. unixd0rk shared his home and lilostitch made a mountain of food. Preparations felt very down-to-the-wire, but somehow it all came together ( ( Read more... )

Wow. So today was MAD Day at The Co-op. It was crazy busy and I'm beat. My favorite part: I checked out this crazy woman. When she walked up I was with another customer and she asked "are you open?" No, I'm just standing here ringing up somebody's groceries for my own enjoyment ( Read more... )

Tonight at The Co-op, and old friend from my raver days came in (note to sillylilboi: this was Laura, that chick who used to hang with Brandon). And as she's buying her groceries, she casually mentions that she's dating someone I know: Hipster. Hipster. I was ... well, I was concerned, to say the very least. First off, she had no clue that he and I had ever ( Read more... )

Home at last, home at last.

Work sucked, and it was entirely my own fault. I was too sad, too distracted, too whatever to be any flavor of effective. But once again, folks at The Co-op reminded me of why I wanted to work there in the first place. Joe offered to let me go home early if I needed to; Shannon made sure they got me out the door in a ( Read more... )

As told to n0thingmanI sat in the tub for a while. I'm done with that for now, but am not ruling out the possibility of doing it again in the future ( Read more... )

Things went into the crapper. And, as LiveJournal figured into the conversation (albeit only slightly), I won't rely on posting the entire pathetic little story here ( Read more... )
