I'm trying to get better at going to stuff alone. There are so many things going on that look interesting to me, but I'm not sure how interesting they look to all my friends, and I don't want to be always pestering people to do stuff with me.
But I understand. You gave up everything you had to find me. And you found me broken. It's hard for you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, and at home I'm more willing to do stuff alone (though still would prefer a companion!) But here in a foreign country, it's a bit harder to psych myself up, especially after dark.

I'm planning on seeing An Almost Ordinary Summer at the Outflix festival tomorrow afternoon. Alas, I haven't been able to get in touch with the guy I'd hoped to ask out to it.
Also planning to go round two with the power drill on my hammock stand tomorrow, after a mishap today. If approaching from the other side of the beam doesn't work, I'm going to have to find a professional woodworker who can clamp this thing down and drill into it from the proper angle.

I'm sorry, meara.

meara, on my last trip abroad (alone) I was so incredibly lonely. Usually when I travel without Tom, it's for work, but even with work stuff to do, these days I find that the charm has gone out of traveling alone. (For me.)

Oh, god, the Angel and Spike article that's linked in there! The trailer! I miss them so much!
And I'm glad Whedon is generally in the "Eww, icky" category now. Elements of all his shows make me give a serious side-eye.

Our wings are not tired.
That was a painful read. Particularly reliving the horrid Cordelia arc.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Yesterday's weather was perfect. I spent the whole day shooting photos. Today was cloudy and grey; I spent the whole day scanning and editing photos. I feel nourished after taking photos. I feel drained after editing.
Taking photographs is like having sex. Editing photographs is like giving birth.

Yikes! Also, looking forward to seeing what your sexy (and painful) days produced.
