2828. The Korean Consulate is allowing me to do a webcam interview so I can get my damn visa. I'm leaving for Korea next Sunday and they expected me to somehow get to Chicago (which is the nearest Consulate to Minneapolis) and do an IN-PERSON interview. I'm in Florida until this Sunday. Sheesh. And I checked to see where the nearest Consulate is to Florida and it's in Atlanta, GA...so that doesn't help much. I was on-edge for, like, 3 days and now I can finally breathe again.

2829. Me. I love myself. And it's been a goddamn long time coming.
2830. notalwaysright.com/ - Thanks, Aimee. This is like, the ultimate form of commiseration (sp?), and I love it.

^ ♥ x 29572958 for the first one (if you have any tips for that, let me know)

and lol @ the other one. I found that a few weeks ago and totally forgot to tell you about it (even though I thought of you at the time) - good thing I can always count on your random work stories on lj

2831. PJ Harvey. For probably the squillionth time, but whatever.. it's never not true.
She was so the best concert of the year. Her and Elton. Rage don't count because that's a festival thing (and so they've won "best festival moment ever")

[toomanyablefires]

^ You can never be grateful too often for PJ, or music in general, I would say.


2832. The sun is out today. Seeing as it's been overcast for almost two weeks, this is a BIG deal. I seriously need to invest in one of those special SAD lamps. A friend of mine had a boyfriend that lived somewhere that had months and months of darkness at a time (I forget the country), but basically, many people had those lamps in their house. Whenever someone would get cranky, they would tell him/her to go home and sit in front of their lamp. I either need to move or buy one. But of course the real thing is the best.
2833. Healing
2834. Communciation
2835. Music and the sharing of it

[Aims]

2836. I can really feel the end of winter finally drawing near now. Yeah I know there's still plenty of rain on the horizon, but the extra daylight will be nice.

2837. Having 2 years of sobriety on August 20th and getting a picture of my medallion emailed to me by the members of my meeting in Minneapolis
2838. It was the last day of teaching summer school yesterday, making it one of the best days of my life. lol
2839. We have two new teachers starting next week. I'm looking forward to meeting them.
2840. Ice cream
2841. A Prayer for Owy en Meany -- please read it. PLEASE.

[elizabeth]

Carly, I have read it. It's a beautiful book . Owen is a beautiful character.

I wish I could tell you how I did it, maybe then I'd be able to do it on a consistent basis ;P But even once in a while is better than the never that used to be.

My current gratefulness: New digital piano. I haven't had an instrument in my house since I moved out to go to college. I missed this so fucking bad.

2843. Blueberry pancakes with maple syrup.

[Jay]

2844. Having one of the friendliest cats I've ever met. Some of them can be shy little fuckers, but not this one, and I'm grateful for it.

[Aims]

^ aw he's a special kitty!


2845. my own little fuzzy one. he's a total weirdo but he so beeauuudeful

I wonder what would happen if our cats met each other, I bet they'd either be best friends or get into an apocalyptic catfight over who gets the most attention.

[Aims]

hehehe I dunno. Indy used to get along really well with my sister's flatmate's cat many years ago.. They were best friends and would playfight all up and down the stairs lol.
I think he'd be friends with Allie too if she wasn't such a bitch. So I'd like to think our boys would get along alright! ;P

2849. Maynard James Keenan - for having a wicked voice.

[toomanyablefires]

^Ditto. I have been listening to Tool almost non stop lately. Now I'm listening to APC, but will go back to Tool soon. I think I might pull out Salival. Hell, maybe Undertow is in order. (Remember wheh I first bought that and I freaked out about the last track? haha Good times). I really need to buy more Tool....

2850. Human kindness. The nurses I've dealt w/ at the ellsworth hospital have been such sweet, caring women. Unfortunately I have found myself at the ER twice in the last 4 days. First time was for pain from the ovarian cyst, 2nd time was today. I got rear ended by a delivery truck. It was scary and I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed, but at least it was very obviously not my fault this time, and I'm alive to talk about it.
2851. My wonderful hubby who is always rock solid. After 9 years together, he knows me like the back of his hand. It's good to know someone so well that you don't even have to say what you need because they already know.
