This morning I woke up at 4 in the morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. I had one of those panic-sparked adrenalin surge flashes into instantaneous and total consciousness usually reserved for suddenly realizing your entire house smells like gas. Mine was about my finances - I awoke terrified that I was completely broke and about to be crushed ( Read more... )

Man, you know how it is - you have one minor scare about the small world of livejournal screwing up your chances with some chick and suddenly you're all FRIENDS ONLY. Yeah, so that's how it is. So say something witty if you want to be my friend. If you are already my friend, you are, of course, excepted from the above commenting requirement.

So, yesterday I had, as I think I mentioned eariler, like a really, really good day. If you take a look at my various posts, generally I don't write about good days, and if I have one, i usually think to write about something else--something universal, that all of us can relate to, something, in other words, that isn't my good day ( Read more... )

So, everyone who wanted a postcard has one in the mail now. Keep your eyes peeled. Some are very large. As postcards go.

Okay, so today was pretty much the best day ever. I'll have to update for real when I have time. But just to tantilize, there was a B-level celebrity sighting involved. I think only bugboy3001 would care though, and he's on vacation...
