I was mocked for my amazement at the sidewalks. But seriously, in Detroit, I had to walk like 40 gates to get a smoke (which I REALLY needed after my first flight.) So, I start walking, and realize at some point that people next to me aren't walking, they're gliding. I see the sidewalks and am all "Hells yes!". On the way back, I found a monorail that was even faster than that.

Also, I am fantastically jealous of my ex's apartment, view, and ginormous bathtub. I covets it for me own, I does.

Yeah, JZ...I just started it yesterday. Thanks a lot! Hi, Bitches...have been offline planning an f2f with a disabled online writer friend in from Pasadena. Sj, I am so that person...I did that to my bf.(I didn't mean anything not intimate. In my private life I'm just...private, but I think now I might handle that differently,if I get another shot.

Ple -- glad that my socks made you smile!

beathan -- I've had a few name changes on the board (through the board's various incarnations) and I've been confused about who people were.

So, I went back to the insurance place to have them take a picture. The insurance lady's response to my car "OHSHIT!"

Yeah, the damage is more extensive than I'd like to admit. Infact my brain is playing tricks on me, I see the car, I see the damage but it's not quite registering...my brain is rejecting the data my eyes are sending and trying to use a nicer image.

However bad my car looks it's totally drivable, which I think is a big plus. Not that I really want to be driving it like this, but I don't have to make a trip to the mechanic.

In a minute I'm going to call the body shop and see when I can take it in. I want to get it in today, but there's no one to take me back home (And I don't think they offer that service). It's close enough (under 2 miles) that I'd consider walking back. Maybe.

I do have a question -- if the person I hit has uninsured motorist coverage, what does that mean for me? I still can't find the paper work so I also have to call teh police station and get the information for the woman's insurance so I can contact them.

I didn't think I was that person either, but I was thinking about it on the way home and to me "this is my friend" sounds like "no really we're just friends". My brain is a strange, often not good place.

Good luck with that, erika.

Yay, Lilty! Have fun.

Lilty-- I still get a thrill when I'm moving sidewalks. They move!

sj -- I'd talk to Tea Cup guy about being introduced as a friend.

I kind of jokingly said "I'm your friend?" last night, but it was bad timing on my part because the poor guy has been working twelve hour days, plus meetings and social engagements all week. So, he didn't take the criticism so well. I might try to bring it up again when he actually gets some sleep. If that ever happens.

My boyfriend introduced me as his friend to his parents then wanted me to make out with him in their house. That was weird, yes?

With the new drugs, my brain is clear and I have energy again.

Unfortunately, this does not translate to a new focus and dedication to work.

OK, cause in the end he turned out to be, well, a mama's boy. Wondering if that was a red flag or not.
