Life, the Universe, and Everything
I'm doing amazingly well for the first time in a while. Last quarter beat me up and left me bleeding, but after only a week of break I'm back on my feet and ready to start another round. I spent all of Friday e-mailing labs to find undergraduate work, and amazingly three of my nine messages received responses asking me to come in for a meeting. This doesn't necessarily mean I have the job, but I have faith in my ability to land a job once someone at least gives me the chance to meet them. I'm going to spend all day tomorrow researching everything I can on the work being done in these labs, so that I can wow them with my knowledge of the field.
Went kayaking in Portland with Bryon last weekend. I absolutely love having him as a friend... it's so deliciously uncomplicated. I sometimes wonder how much of his desire to hang out stems from his enjoyment of my company, and how much from the fact that he obviously still likes me. It was surprisingly comfortable doing an extended road trip with him, however. He did get a little handsy a few times when he was really high, but other than that it was low-pressure and fun. On Sunday when we finally went kayaking together, we had to wait at the take-out for a while before our ride came. We each brought our respective medication, and ended up laying out on a little dock for at least an hour smoking, drinking, and discussing the nature of the universe. It was actually one of the best afternoons I've had in a good long while.
I really need to find some kind of sliding-scale therapy soon. My self-image has improved since starting on treatment, however it's by no means where it should be. And I still have absolutely no faith in my ability to handle social situations. I'm half expecting to lose my research position simply because I don't get along well with my co-workers. It's the only major disability that still causes me constant doubt, really. Everything else is either corrected or on the mend.
In other news, Christina Cox is both my idol and my sex goddess. I want a body and a style like hers. Kelsey says she could see it with a strict workout regimen. God, but she's hot. In a sporty, athletic kind of way. More than anything she was my inspiration to go back on my low-carb diet, something I've been trying to do for weeks. I also wouldn't mind HAVING her body, if ya know what I mean. But that's an entirely different story...
I've decided to start a letter-writing campaign to convince Syfy to pick up Blood Ties alongside their remake of Being Human. Blood Ties simply contains too many hot people to be canceled without a fight. However unlike the other millions of fans out there, I'm going to pitch it from the angle of financial benefit to the network. I will post my final draft here when it's finished. It's going to be epic.
