Antarctica. Tough, I know, but a challenge is good. Have you done Macchu Picchu? Sailing across a really big body of water, and sying 'Arr!' a lot. And this is just descending into my life list. Um, learning yoga in India?

I am simultaneously relieved and bummed. Because while it does seem I don't have to worry about her wanting to date me...I would not have been averse to more smoochies. Fie on you women and your crazy mixed-up ways.

You know, it's been a bit of a while since the last smoochie episode. Time can make a girl shy. There's every possibility she's talking to her invisible friends, fying all over you, because you didn't kiss her and make her feel worth kissing.

Oooh! Life Lists! Cool notion. Hmm. (And I'm terribly impressed that Raq's done 6 of them. What are the 7 wonders of the Ancient World again?

...er..

Collosus of Rhodes, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Statue of Zeus at somewhere or other, Statue of Nike (?Or possibly some other goddess...) at somewhere or other, the Mausoleum, the Lighthouse of Pharos (possibly) and...er...I want to say the Pyramids of Giza, but I don't know if it's so. Hmm.

...No, I'm going to have to go and check out the interpipe for this, aren't I? And there's no time right now. Grr.

I touched a bit of the original Mausoleum once, when I was in the cellars at The British Museum. Even though you're not supposed to. Because I am nawty. But I've still not made it outside the airport in Athens, so the rest of the Greek wonders, not so much with the visiting.

Hmm.

Still want to:

• lose more weight

• figure out this Pulling Thing

• Go to India

• Ride on an elephant

• visit Easter Island

• Get better at singing

• act again

• visit Pyramids in Mexico

• visit newly-discovered Pyramid in (iirc) Croatia

• See dolphins & whales in the wild

...and a bunch of other stuff. But now Grade One needs to go to recess.

Life List...

• Write a life list...

ION, Toto has decided that it's playtime--with his noisiest toy, I might add. I'm sure Not!Emily an his girlfriend, who are sleeping, just LOVE that.

I have come to the part of the day where I must get in the shower and out the door. And, once again, I don't wanna! So predictable.

Did you sleep last night, vw?

I have no life list. Well, I'm sure I do, but I can't think of it, right now.

I DID! Two glorious nights in a row. I almost feel human today.

Must celebrate by getting my ass in the shower and out the door.

Yes! Woo hoo! And you know, getting out every day ought to help with the sleepage, a little.

Yeah...it will. I need to try to keep as normal of a routine as possible. Yesterday, I gave in and took some naps, but that's ok, as long as I don't do it every day.

And off I go!

I have lost my keys. I cannot find them ANYWHERE. I've been looking for over a half-hour. I am so frustrated.

visit newly-discovered Pyramid in (iirc) Croatia

Just so you know, archaeologists in general are very sceptical that this is, y'know... real.

Have you checked the fridge, vw? It's my stupid place of choice for leaving stuff. Mostly the remote control. But a pair of socks once.
