He really is Oz.

This, is what I'm saying.

He doesn't have the laconic or the 20something cutiepieness but, in many respects he is Oz. So thoughtful and attentive. And really, really pays attention. Honorable and earnest.

Plus? We are starting dancing classes on Thursday. Yay! Fella backs down from no challenge!

Yay, Aimee and Gud! Good news all around.

{{askye}} Better to come clean and get it off your chest than hanging over your head like a sword. Good luck.

Beej, he sounds like a keeper, indeed. And dance lessons! I envy you.

Uh-boy. I'm overcaffeineated and pissy, and just said some things in an email to my brother that frankly needed to be said, but I'm not sure how they're going to go over. I may never hear from the kid again.

Wow, brenda. It's like we're sharing a mind connection. I'm seriously thinking about sending a similar email to *my* sister, saying "Stop being a bitch or leave me the fuck alone" and I may never hear from her again.

I'm having a shitty day. I know this because I've cried twice in the last twenty-four hours.

saying "Stop being a bitch or leave me the fuck alone"

See, mine was more like "tell your girlfriend/fiance to stop being a bitch and leave you the fuck alone.

Or more precisely, "if she can't see or doesn't care what this situation is doing to you, it's because she doesn't want to, and all this about being afraid yadda yadda they'll laugh at my accent maybe one day soon yadda is BS stonewalling that's never going to change."

brenda - SA - not sure that hugs help - but I'll send them anyway.

and I just remembered that my folks are going to be out here on friday ( on theier way to vist my sister in Japan) and I said I"d cook spinach lasagna. I think I need to start cleaning my house. But not now - I need to leave for work soon.

(For the record I didn't actually use the term BS in referring to the GF. But honestly, that was the gist.)

Yay, Gud!

Yay, Aimee!

Yay for new hair, Steph!

Boo for tough situations, askye, brenda and SA.

Hugs and kisses for everyone!

Guess what I got in the mail today?

Okay, besides my Best of Bowie music video DVD...

Book contract!

So the trick is that I sign this, and they give me money, and a year later I give them 30,000 words and then they give me some more money. And if they sell? More money still.

See, mine was more like "tell your girlfriend/fiance to stop being a bitch and leave you the fuck alone.

Ahh. Very important, that.

I said I"d cook spinach lasagna.

Yum! Sounds better than the greasy pizza I had for dinner. O food service, how I loathe thee.

Congrats, David. That's such a wonderful thing.
