. . . and a lot of sadness, too.
so randy and I broke up. It'd been coming for a long time. I don't think my brother was surprised at all.
We're still best freinds. Hell we still share the same bed. But He and I had ceased to really have a romantic life quite a while ago. And we just now acknowledged it. Like he says, "I'm so scared of chaning 'cause I built my life around you."
As hard as it is, and as sad as it is, this is ultimately for the better. The differential between the way the relationship was imagined and its reality was a frequent source of stress. So hopefully he and I will get along better now
I've been loving the first person I even dated for the past seven years. I don't really know how to be in a relationship with someone else. So many aspects of romance are, for me, tied up in Randy, that I'm not sure how to apply them to other relationships.
I worry that we've done the wrong thing. That this was a mistake. I know it's not, but I still worry.
I'm sad and I miss you.

plead guilty to Disorderly Conduct; Tresspassing and Resisting Arrest dismissed
six months unsupervised probation (which means merely avoiding fucking up)
and $155 to the court
and as of Feb. 19th 2005 I cease to have a criminal record
***
and all it took was 19 hours of driving in a 36 hour time span (I suck at navigation)

Tonight I went to a talk organized by veterans for peace and related organizations. They brought together veterans of various wars to talk about the Dehumanization process of the military and of occupation. Former Marine Jim Massey and others spoke about the process of mental destruction wrought by our military and by military service in general. About how the soldiers are stripped of their humanity. How they endure acts and commit acts that we as civilians could never concience or even realized were happening.
Jim Massey spoke about the mental abuse that was a standard part of basic training and life in the military. Before he had ever seen combat he was more mentally scarred then I can comprehend. And this is standard practice.
The damage done by joining the military and going to war and fighting and occupying are immeasurable. One in ten Vietnam vets has taken their life, as many as were killed in the conflict itself. Civilian casualties even in as 'clean' and 'humanitarian' a war as the one we now wage in Iraq are immense. It would be like the entire town I live in being wiped off of the map. And if we include the military casualties of the conscripted Iraqi army then it is like the city I grew up in being annihilated.
That I live in such a world, and in such a country sickens me. It proves to me that there is no god.
So, the eleven stitches, the massive abrasion on my arm being ripped open and ground into the floor, the bruises all over my body, the pain to intense to sit, the pain the next day having been beat so badly that I was physically ill with the damage done to me was worth it. The fight against this war, against innocent people being recruited by professional liars is worth it. If I go to jail it was worth it.
I personally thanked Jim Massey for having given me the rationale and the justification for my actions that day. Listening to his story and the stories of the others up there left me with no doubt whatsoever that what I did was right and the pain and suffering which I endured as a result pales in comparison to that which I protested.
it was worth it

this is noteworthy because I found this out when I got there.
yup, got up at 5:30 (okay, 5:55) walked all the way there and then had to walk all the way back. I did wait until everyone else in the building had showed up in case they could use me still.
they didn't
[sigh]
walked home, and had already had my morning caffiene so promptly going back to sleep wasn't an option
but I did get a phone number out it so it's all good

wow
yup that good of a night
sublimely happy idiot smile the whole way home
so class ended. that was quite happy. I passed easily, damn near acing the practical. but there was (surprisingly) a post class let down. 16hrs a week had been an intense and important part of my life for seven weeks straight. and I miss the learning and I miss the people (even though I didn't really make friends with any of them, they're just nice people)
correspondingly I was in a fabulous mood by the time I got to Haven. I quickly got a little drunker than usual and . . .
and . . .
I DANCED! gods did that feel good. I'm not at all the sore this morning so I didn't aggravate anything. I just enjoyed the hell out of myself :}
furthermore, Kitty was there. you know, the one who likes leaving without saying goodbye. but she said goodbye this time. it was otherwise fairly similar to the last time she was at Haven. and just as enjoyable. tee hee :}
and other cuddling and fondling and flirting and socializing and whatnots and goodness and being extroverted and getting my request played 5 minutes after I made the request and 'Mary Mary' getting played and limitless positiveness for no particular reason and yeah . . .
it was a good night. thanks to my friends for being good people :}

So i've been flirting/cuddling lots more recently. Even some fairly intense cuddling that involves nibbling and kissing of necks and caressing of other parts.
don't get me wrong - I like it - wouldn't want it to stop
but
I want someone to kiss, to date, to . . . go further with
I can't seem to transform any of those connections into more and the other possibilities are in different states of in potentia
.

In other news I ran into kitty at the mall tonight, which was just became more inexplicable and amusing . . . [sigh] :)

To recap
And today I actually found it. GW said that model train stores would have it. The only model train store in the valley doesn't. They suggested Michael's. At Michael's they looked at me like 'sheet styrene' was a word I made up.
Then I went to the art store in downtown amherst. They knew exactly what I was talking about and I was able to get a piece big enough to last me a year for less than $7.

I want to go to Rocky on Saturday, however, I have yet to secure a ride there and I work 'till 11p, so I can't just show up at Phoenix Games and stow away in someones trunk.
Therefore I will call the store at ~10p tomorrow and ask for a ride.
the original title (see below):
I have a plan, it's just not a good one :9

Your score as a human being is 77.55.
Middle of the road, eh? Does that mean you're yellow? Yellow as a salamander frying on blacktop? Yellow as a urinal cake? Yellow as a delicious marshmallow Peep? Mmmm. Peep. Sometimes I think if it weren't for Just Born candy, I would just expel my life force and expire. Hot Tamales. Mike and Ikes.
But I digress.
Nicely done. You are robustly average, and I approve of it.

Your job's score is 43.
Your job is mind-bendingly bad. So incredibly bad. So shooting-spree inducing bad. Why are you in it? Is it deeply rewarding work? Are there a few kindred co-workers whose positive spin make the whole mess bearable? Are you shlepping through two more years of this hell so you can escape into a well-respected, well-salaried position? You had better hope at least one of the above is true, or otherwise your life is on a one-way train to Stinksville. You like that? I made it up myself.

You are a WRDL--Wacky Rational Destructive Leader. This makes you an enemy of the state. You are charismatic and winning and a very dangerous enemy. You favor justice over compassion, and would almost rather see your opponent fail than you succeed.
You impact the lives of those around you more than any other personality. People remember your name and respect you. You are a tremendous amount of fun to be around and astonishing to watch. You are generally abstinent in your habits, and you like things tidy and ordered.
When picking teams, it is smartest for others to pick yours.

"Uh . . . what happened in there? Because a couple of weeks ago we had a conversation in which you said that that wouldn't . . . um . . . happen."
"I don't know."
"Oh, okay. Um . . . if you figure it out could you let me know."
"Yeah"
