Sorry. Awesome metaphor though.

[theinevitable]

I am not sure why I had to torture the metaphor so much when all I needed was "that moment when it feels fine and then the weight hits."

I know it feels different every time you fall for someone new, but this was a really big one.

Also, thanks guys.

The good news is that this has soured my trip enough that i no longer feel the urge to move back here. Which is probably healthy. I can come back in a few years maybe, but now is the time to try out a bigger pond.

Whoa.  Dang.  Sorry Inev.  Sucks to get shot down, but kudos to you for having the guts to tell her what you feel.

Today I'm getting lunch with the first girl I ever told you guys about and her husband. I eventually got over her rejecting me and we still have a great friendship. Her husband is a little stiff for my taste but he's a good guy, and I shed a tear of happiness at their wedding. So this too will pass.

For the moment though, I am being a little distant (with the friend who rejected me on new year's ). So much of our friendship was based on me being overly attentive and trying to charm her. I guess it will find its level eventually. She is unfortunately the person I talk to the most, and that will probably change.

Well, she changed her FB picture to a picture i took of her, so that's nice.

You've got that going for you, which is nice.

Making some dumplings and the recipe said the closest thing to Chinese Ham in the US is Smithfield Jowl Bacon. I got some, and holy cow.... this is some dank bacon.

This jowl bacon and gouda on some homemade bread, damn.

Today my SO accidentally broke the Simpsons themed drinking glass that I've had for about 25 years. It was unlicensed, heavy, and undoubtedly full of that beautiful cancer-causing lead. It was the only thing I knew from how to drink water. The paint was worn, but I could still clearly make out a too-dumb-to-judge Homer as my unfortunate shirtless body stumbled toward it in the middle of the night. Now it lives in a thousand tiny shards, burrowed into the greying grout of the kitchen floor.

I feel more despair than when my pa passed a few years back.

Maybe not the saddest thing, but definitely sad.

Just got back from a few days visiting a friend in Portland-- no, the other one. Portland Maine. It's really cute, has great food, and the weather was not totally awful (28 degrees with 4 inches of snow is mild up there).

The inev report: every woman my age in Portland, Maine, has long hair in a bun, stylishly ugly glasses, and is wearing a lot of layers at all times. They all seemed like the kind of girl who would give well-executed homemade presents on holidays. This has been the inev report.

Also got a Loudon Wainwright III album for 5 bucks. My kinda town.

[pmcd9]

You gotta turn up the heat to get those layers to come off.

Inev, hope you were watching out for D-Money, Smoothie, and Shifty.

Nice!

Flip switch = light goes on

There are many instances in my life where I'd expected and wanted this to happen, yet it didn't. I should be more thankful for the times that it does.

Then again, I was once thrown off of a ladder and across a set by touching the housing of an improperly grounded light, so my respect for electricity is primarily based around fear.
