Swiped from camwyn because while I have stuff on my mind, I'm unsure whether to spew it all over here, so for now I have nothing much interesting to post. (Ever have the feeling that your brain is working hard on something off in a back corner of your skull, but not telling you much about what the results are? Like that.)

Fill out and leave responses in comments please.

01. How are you?
02. What have you been up to lately?
03. Is everything going well with you?
04. Are you happy and smiley and safe?
05. Any random thoughts can be added here.

I want anyone and everyone who reads this to post in here something they would LIKE to do with me SOMEDAY. Then post this in your journal to find out what I want to do with you.

Side note: The aspartame allergy theory seems pretty well proven. A week with none - the escalating headaches and muscle aches faded and were gone by the third day. After the week, one root beer with it at dinner, and the same sort of headache the next day, though not as severe when I was drinking the diet stuff by the quart. I mention this because it took me soooo long to figure out what was causing these, and because there's a lot of conflicting information out there. If you're having headaches, muscle aches, and/or inexplicably nasty cycles (sorry if TMI!) at least stop and consider if this might be it.

1) Sleepy.

2) Going to Conterpoint, househunting, and taking care of a pinkeyed baby.

3) Eh. Not really, but the things that aren't are pretty minor.

4) Not really, but objectively I haven't got much reason not to be.

5) I wish this darn tooth hadn't broken again. I have to get it fixed tomorrow and I *hate* dentists.

Something I'd like to do with you sometime: Go travelling somewhere exotic none of us have ever been before, with you and autographedcat and Manny.

That would be lots of fun! Anywhere you have in mind? I've barely been out of the US.

[pocketnaomi.livejournal.com]

Dunno. Someplace with lots of historical stuff to wander around and talk about. Ireland, maybe, or Italy? China?

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Any of those would be fascinating! I'm really sorry to hear about your tooth, btw.

[pocketnaomi.livejournal.com]

I know! What about Greece?

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Sure - can we go to Larissa?

[pocketnaomi.livejournal.com]

Of course! And raid all the tourist shops for pretty things with the name of the place on them?

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

Suits me. :) Of course, if you REALLY want to go exotic, we could visit the moon Larissa, out by Neptune. I don't think they have tourist traps there yet, though.

And the transit time's not really feasible under Manny's vacation allottment from the new job.

Aspartame on the whole makes me want to retch, so I tend to avoid it on principal. I've come to love the taste of water as a result, and I'm a tea snob.

I want to X with you as soon as possible and hopefully for an extended period of time. I'll leave it to you to fill in what X should be, and bear in mind that it should involve au jus and maybe hohos and probably cobbler. And candlelight. And water.

1) I'm unsettled. I want my life and my love to be going other than how it is, and yet I have no ideas on how to make either go any differently than how they are going, and I'm thinking that on the one hand the best thing is nothing, and on the other hand nothing begets nothing, so...yeah, vague girl strikes again and we can chat more about it in August, though I probalby won't because all it does is serve to depress me and it changes nothing and in the face of your pleasant company seems ungrateful.

2) Not much. PrideMarch, Irish fest, movie with a friend, adjusting to life with the 3rd housemate. Raising the boy, whose school ends in 4 class days (this coming Wednesday).

3) Refer #1 above. I have food, clothing, shelter, love, and friends; can't complain.

4) For the most part, yes.

5) I miss you *HUGS*
-H....

There are a number of things that X should mark, and we'll just have to try and fit them in during the August visit. I'm just elated there will BE an August visit, especially given that we have that little extra vacation time! BTW, did we mention yet that there's a Pride march in Atlanta the weekend after this one? Yes, during ACat's birthday, but we're figuring to go, at least for Sunday. (It looks like a weekend long festival, basically.)This should be interesting, since neither of us has been to one before.

01. OK, after having gotten upset for no good reason last night.
02. Way too much writing and too little correspondence.
03. Mostly, though I could feel better physically.
04. Mostly. :)
05. Andrea Dale sings beautifully. :D

I think I should come visit you two. Sooner rather than later. :D

[kitanzi.livejournal.com]

I do hope you feel better soon, and you should really come visit, yes!

Yay on finding the aspartame allergy. Yet another reason why I call aspartame "NutraPoison". Thank you very much, Monsanto. :-p

Now, about those questions....
1) I'm awake and I'm alive. That's good enough for me. (I hate this question.)
2) Sleeping late, looking for work, staying up late, spending too much time on email and LJ, trying to de-clutter the house, reading old newspapers, and scanning in some old printouts.
3) As well as can be expected for someone in my situation -- unemployed. The only difference between unemployment and a retirement is a pension, or a great investment portfolio. I have neither. I owe, I owe; it's off to work I [should] go!
4) Define "Happy". I don't know what happy feels like anymore. Smiley? Only if I force myself. Safe? Physically yes, emotionally maybe, mentally only if I take my meds on time, financially not really.
5) What I'd like to do with you? Get to know you better. No, not that way. I'm married and monogamous.

Well, at least as for #5, come say hi the next time we're at the same con and we'll go have lunch or something? :)

[poltr1]

Maybe. Or breakfast. It will most likely be OVFF. I will probably have wife and kid in tow.

Oh good - another morning person? (Or at least non-night owl - I figure I'm a 2 in the afternoon person!)

[poltr1]

Oh good - another morning person?

No, not really. I'm a night owl like most filkers. But The Girl is a morning person. She gets up around 7 am every day of the week. So one of us will get up with her while the other sleeps in until about 9:30 or 10:00am.
