Peanut butter? Oatmeal? Chocolate chip? Whatever you want sweety.

Oatmeal chocolate chip would be sweet. It's a particular favorite of mine that I can never find/get. Ah, if wishes were horses.

I also wonder how crazy you need to be to have therapy

See, I think that's the wrong question. I realized (on my own) in junior high school that I needed therapy, especially to deal with the stuff about my father, but when I finally worked up the nerve to approach my mother about it she said, and I quote-from-memory, "That sort of thing stays on your permanent record." WTF? What permanent record? But my mother has always been very wary about things like that. It didn't stop me from enrolling my first semester of college with counseling services, though. But I'm not, well, crazy. Not at all. I was circumspect and realized I was running in circles around issues that would take more than me to resolve. And I knew going it that it would be a long-term process.

Strangely, it's usually alleviated when I go abroad.

Anyway.

Trudes, so far I only recall you and Hec commenting on my magnatism. I keep expecting to walk by the fridge and have all the magnet suddenly jump ship and attack me.

Did I mention I have a new iPod? I am loading songs as I type this! Yay!! doing the happy dance

Oh, C's ice cream cake was an interesting creation and totally sugar loaded. I had less than half a piece before I hit the sugar wall.

Nurse practioner would be my guess, Trudes.

Yeah, when you're in that self-hate place, it's never as easy as being reassured. Because sure, of course they'd say that, and it's because they don't want to hurt my feelings or, more often, they just don't know me well enough, or they'd see what a fucked up loser I am. Awful.

And I am off to drive to the Miami airport. Yay!

My mom spent a great deal of effort trying to get me into therapy.

Um, it occurs to me that could be taken wrong - I meant in the good way.

Nurse Practitioner! Yes!

I'll look into that too, actually. It has its own merits to be sure.

Highlights of my week:

1. Travelled to Sydney on Tuesday for an all-day work gathering. Gave 1.5 presentations of my own, and rocked the house. Explained, in an aside, about the existence of a business in Australia called "Total Tools". My manager has been telling me I need to introduce myself to the people in the Sydney office. I think I've now accomplished that. I'm hoping for "talented freak". It'd be nice to have talented in there for a change.

2. Worked on a spreadsheet created by my supervisor. Decided to save my own copy, called it "No beer and no TV makes William go something something.xls". This has not been noticed yet.

3. Went out last night with a lovely woman, had a great conversation. Very similar tastes in reading, movies etc. Got a bit of an "I like you, but..." vibe from her, but we'll see the next time I get in touch and suggest a date. She told me about another guy who'd got in touch with her, his profile was pretty much blank save for a photo of him in a jacuzzi with a can of VB, and he told her his interests included "motorbikes, football, and sometimes when I get really drunk I like to arm-wrestle with my mates." (I assume that's him showing his sensitive side.)

4. Was supposed to be going out with Chinese Christian woman tonight, but she had to cancel due to ill health. She's good for my ego, but I'm just not sure if it'll work.

5. Got an admission from internet first-timer that she'd love to meet me in person, so that's nice. Not sure when it'll happen, though.

6. D is not exactly in town, but is in Geelong, which is at least within driving distance. So the Higgins boys will be catching up with him tomorrow for dinner.

7. Got an invitation to my sister's wedding, which is nice. (Not unexpected, you understand.)

Yup. There's some good highlights.
