Well technically...

Hello, fellow nerds and nerd-lovers.

Today is going to be an interesting day. We're getting more into the apartment-search process. Many of the places we're interested in don't have any vacancies, but we've found some promising places, and I think everything will work out.

I'm not feeling particularly great (cramps), but I'm fairly confident that we'll have a roof over our heads and food to eat, and that's all we really need.

I'm trying to be less of a label queen. I got cheap toilet paper today, because it was on sale. And last week I got butter that was on sale. Baby steps!

Anyway...I don't feel like writing much, but I'm surprisingly happy, considering that I just started my period.


PS I'm really looking forward to Kellie coming back. The more I think about it, the more excited I get. In fact, I'm grinning right now. Woohoo!

Hi everyone.

We're going to look for apartments tomorrow. We've pretty much decided to live in Norfolk, because it's SO much cheaper. It's really pretty crazy how much cheaper it is than Virginia Beach. Except for Ghent of course, because Ghent is never cheap. I'm surprised they don't charge admission just to drive through it.

ANYway...I'm a bit tired, because we got to sleep a little late last night (hem, hem), but it was worth it, of course, as it always is. I almost fell asleep today at around 2:30. I swear I & A just puts me right to sleep sometimes. It's amazing.

I had dinner with bosslady last night, and it went REALLY well. She was scrupulously polite, as usual, and put me at my ease almost immediately. We managed to stretch dinner over nearly two hours, despite the fact that we went to Fuddrucker's (it's a glorified burger joint, in case you're unfamiliar with them). It was really good to talk to her again. She and D are the only people from JWC (my former employer) that I really miss. They both go to my old church, but I haven't contacted D because she's the wife of an elder...and she also is a bit of a gossip.

Anyway, Sarah knows me incredibly well, and saw right through me, as usual. I don't think I'm quite as much over my crush on bosslady as I thought I was...but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. I think the fact that she's not my boss anymore helps a bit. Naturally, Sarah diagnosed this right away. Oh well. She's trying to give me permission to be nonmonogamous. I have no desire to be, but it's nice to know that she won't be irrationally jealous. Hehe.


PS Did you notice the Professor Umbridge throat-clear earlier?

Hi there, homos!

(Sarah's latest nickname--kind of like homies, but for gay people)

I'm at the library while Sarah finishes up in clerical. It's kind of sucky, because it's not the central one and they only have one (1!) unfiltered computer. Grrr. I hate the ones with lumps *smirk*

Anyway, will probably be having a late dinner with bosslady tonight, after she gets off from work. It should be interesting, to say the least...I hope she's fairly cool about stuff and doesn't try to lecture me. I think I might cry if she does, because I'm a bit PMS-y, and I respect her a lot. She's smart, and funny, and polite, and amazingly sharp, but still kind. Yes, I had a crush on her for a while, but it subsided into the same friendship that was there before, plus I have a wonderful girlfriend who is going to go get poked in the arm tonight for $20. I can't get over the blood money thing.

But if she doesn't mind it, it's really not my place to say anything. And it's money, after all, which we could really use right now, with the need to get a new apartment and all. Maybe I'll make a handmade spreadsheet kind of thing while I'm waiting for bosslady to pick me up tonight, and Sarah is donating plasma...yeah, I think I'll do that. I also think I will go put some gas in the car before I pick up Sarah from work. Or maybe after, I don't really know. Hmmm. No, before, I think, at least if I can find a gas station close to here

Ok, so we have a new air mattress, without a hole. Which is good.

But we have to move out. Which is mostly bad.

But we might be able to get an apartment with Kellie, which is good.

But it might be more expensive than what we have now, which is bad.

But it might be fun, which would be good.

But it might be awkward, which would be bad.

Anyway, enough "mights". We'll just have to see what's available and go for it.

But we're both pretty excited that Kellie is moving back to the area.

And I have entirely too many paragraph breaks today. Oh well.

Life is not quite as good as it has been, but then again the honeymoon phase can't last forever, and I'm kind of relieved that I know how the body of the relationship will be. I can deal with the PMS and the irrationality. I'm actually learning to be amused by it, but I still have a tendency to take it a bit too seriously. Maybe it's that verbal abuse legacy from my dad.

Anyway, I'm not real happy with my parents right now, so I'm not going to call them. I'm just going to wait for Mom to get up the nerve to risk Sarah's "frosty tone" and call me. What a crock of shit. I mean, really. She may not be cordial, but she has no reason to be. My parents have not been particularly nice to me since I came out. And certainly not since I told them about our couplehood. They're just going to have to get over themselves. I'm tired of making concessions. It's their turn.

And I'll get off my soapbox now.

Hi everybody. Welcome to a new day that feels exactly like all the old ones, only a little bit sleepier.

Yes, it's true: our air mattress has sprung a leak. Grrr. We were both rather uncomfortable last night, and consequently rather cranky today, but we're hoping to fix the hole with a bicycle tire patch kit *crosses fingers*

We'll see what happens.

Anyway, other than that, not really much to report.

We're both a bit giddy, and have been laughing hysterically today about the stupidest stuff. As a matter of fact, I'm not even going to tell you what we've been laughing at, because it's that stupid.

Almost time to go home and have dinner (Yay!), so I'll leave you now...

Chow *grin*

Hi everyone. Not a long entry for today, because I just don't feel like it.

I'm a bit sleepy, and a bit frustrated, and generally not in the mood for lots of diary frivolity.

And mom said that she hasn't called because she's been afraid of Sarah answering the phone. I felt like saying "tough shit," but of course I didn't. Grr. Maybe I should have. I don't know. I'm waffling between a little bit bitchy (which is pretty bad for me), and sleepy/happy.

Geez. I'm even more indecisive than usual, which is really pretty amazing.

Ciao for now (haha! it rhymes).

Hi everyone.

Life is good. I got paid quite a bit more than I was expecting, so I'm pretty happy about that, and Sarah and I got heaps of groceries yesterday, and I got a potato-masher, so I can make REAL mashed potatoes now, not that wretched out-of-a-box stuff.

And I got to sleep in.

Also, bosslady and I will probably be getting together for a meal or something sometime soon. She goes to my ex-church, and was my boss at the law firm I used to work for. I'm a little bit wary, because of the church thing, but I think it should be ok. We've always gotten along well, and she's generally a very polite, very nice person.

On a less cheerful note, I talked to PB (my ex-pastor) on Thursday, and I think they're going to excommunicate me, which is rather depressing. Ah, well. I guess that's another good reason not to go back. One day I'm sure it will be amusing. The telephone conversation was pretty emotional, though. That, along with some other stuff, combined to make Thursday a pretty sucky day for both of us. Yesterday was much happier, however, and today looks like it will be equally happy. Woohoo!

I got three new (used, but new to me) books at the library today. Happiness!Life is good. I mentioned that earlier, but I think it bears repeating.

Hi everyone. Today I get to write more, because I'm at the ODU library, and they have no time limit (hallelujah!).

Life is pretty good, aside from a general lack of money.

Sarah donated plasma today, so we had a little bit, most of which got spent on dinner and candy. I feel kind of guilty...like I'm using blood money or something...Oh well. We both get paid on Friday, so things should improve. Unfortunately, I have a (really old) library fine and a student loan payment to make, so I'll still be pretty poor. Luckily, I & A has asked me to work dayshift for a week, so I'll be getting more hours on the check after next.

Still looking into the job at the chicken place, but with everything up in the air at I &A, and the possibility of switching to days, I'd like to wait a bit. We'll see what happens.

Also, I wrote an email to my parents, telling them about the relationship w/ Sarah. They weren't particularly pleased, but I'm hoping that they'll learn to deal with it.

Overall, I'm insanely happy. I have a wonderful girlfriend, a decent job, a fabulous girlfriend, a nice apartment, have I mentioned that I really love my girlfriend? Yeah, I'm that besotted. *grin*

Our friend Joel from work says that we're a "very saccharine" couple. It's kind of amazing to me that I'm part of a sickeningly cute couple, but I guess I am...it's way more fun than I thought it would be *big grin*

Hi everyone. Just a short entry today, as people are waiting in line at the library.

All the people I asked for recommendations are willing...now I just have to find someone at the current job. Shouldn't be too hard, I don't think...

Can I just say that I have the world's most awesome girlfriend? Yes, it's true...she knows me so well it's a little bit scary. But cool, too.

*Happy sigh*

I love Sundays.
