Oh lordy. It's been a while, I know. I was distracted and dry, and I needed a break. It happens to the best of us. But after three comments about my silence (it doesn't take much), I felt the pressure to break it. So, some highlights:
- I ate an olive I didn't hate. Of course, it was stuffed with Gorgonzola, so given my love of cheese... it's not a complete win for the olive. I still hate raisins, don't worry.
- I continue to party like a 22-year-old occasionally. Like this Friday, when I stayed up until about 9 am, refusing to pass out until after everyone left. Even after I gave the last-on DJ a thank-you hug goodbye, I still sat around the dining room table for a bit and talked gibberish and eventually got a ridiculous case of the giggles, punctuated by proclamations of, "Holy crap, I'm so goddamn tired...". I'm getting too old for this shit, I think. But it was fun.
- I have a new nickname: Jeeves. I don't know how I feel about this, but I'm fond of the giver, so I'll let it slide.
- Also, according to the same source, I'm like Six Degrees of Separation, because I apparently know a surprising amount of people in this town. Eh, I've just lived here for a long time, and I know a lot of people who know a LOT of people. (I'm also two degrees of Kevin Bacon, but that's another story.)
- I've been seeing the same person since May (a recent dating record for me), who calls me Cupcake. Very possibly the sweetest, most lovable person I've ever met.
- I started running again, more or less, on the treadmill at the gym, about three or four times per week. It hurts my shins, and I really need new shoes. And more sports bras. Gotta protect the bazoongas.
- I'm planning to learn how to knit soon. I'm excited to make a fantastically lumpy scarf, or possibly a mitten with two thumbs.
- I'm also planning to take more pictures soon, thanks to my fancy new digital SLR, once I figure out all the buttons.
- I'll be bringing said camera with me later this week on my trip to North Carolina to visit the Poops and Mr. Poops. They're having a party while I'm there, and I've promised (threatened?) to bring my hotpants for the inevitable Pants-Off Dance-Off.
- I've taken a liking to Malbec. Delicious.
- I'm still freelance editing, and recently edited a book on pressure ulcers. Which apparently you have to check for their "odor." Ew. Now I'm learning a lot about GIF compression. Yeah. It's a living, more or less.
I'm still me, my life is still borderline ridiculous, and I watch too much shitty TV. (Oh Bravo and VH1/MTV, how I love you.)
Gros bise, all y'all. Aaaaaand good night.
Posted by thevieve at January 22, 2008 10:45 PMPartying until 9AM? Sounds like my kind of party! Remember, you're only as old as your liver, uh, I mean, you feel. We've got some parties left in us yet. :-)
Glad to see you back in the virtual world... now we should get together sometime in the real world! My house is full of contractors right now, which means I'm getting up ridiculously early (I much prefer to see 7:30AM from the other direction), and I wouldn't mind fleeing the construction noise.
XOXO,
Drunky
Can't wait to hear why you're called Jeeves.
