Lexapro was quite amazing in that way. Life just seemed to float by and if something bad happened I would just shrug my shoulders and say, "eh". I'm sorry you're having the crappies. Listen to some Cocteau Twins. Hugs for you, my friend. smooch, soma

from boombasticat :

Thanks for the note. The Viking ships were pretty cool. So simple. And they didn't use plans! They just eyeballed everything. And, you're right about "boorish." Now I know.

from somaserious :

You know, you're absolutely right. I really couldn't believe that he actually told me to be a good wife and lead him to his happiness. That's just not cool. It's as if G's this lost puppy that just lies down instead of sniffing his way home. Ugh. There are moments when he's this amazing man, and others when I just want to smack him. Part of marriage, but there's this small place in me that craves a happy man (or a woman sometimes) who comes home with a smile on his face, even if he had a crappy day. I'd like to think I'm an optimist; it's just a better way of being. But I'm turning into this bitter biddy and I hate it! Anyway, thanks. Have a merry Christmas!!!

from somaserious :

Ack! It's so true. There was this one time when I was reading in bed and one thing led to another...and I was noiser than I thought. Geoffrey came bursting into the bedroom (it's just off of our living room) thinking that Griffyn had made the noise (he was still sleeping in our room at the time). I turned bright red! But then we took advantage of the situation. Hee, hee... xoxosoma

from boombasticat :

Sounds like someone's been listening to OK Computer, or at least is a little weary of modern, clean life.

from somaserious :

Thanks so much, JD. It's so sad, but happy all at the same time. He really was truly special as far as humans go. I haven't been reading anyone's blogs recently, so I have a lot of catching up to do. Hope all is well in your world, sweetie. smooch,soma

from stepfordtart :

Heeheehee! Im so glad I have daughters. s x

from misspinkkate :

That's always what it is, no? I walk around the store thinking, ah yes! I will eat green beans! I put them in the fridge and promptly forget about them.

from somaserious :

Thanks for the well wishes!!! Things are a bit crazy, and I'll write about it soon!!! smooch, soma

from boombasticat :

Saw you wrote 15 pages the other night. In my experience, that's a tidal wave. Hope it's going well.

from savemyseoul :

I apologize in advance for prying, if this is information you don't share on the interwebs, but what magnet HS did you attend in Denver? I ask only because I went through IB at George Washington on Monaco... Would be at least an interesting internets coincidence if the reunion you've been discussing was actually *my* high school. :)

from boombasticat :

Sounds good. Just need to figure out what kind of wine a dickhead mouse would bring.

from boombasticat :

So what are cheese croquettes? I remember being fascinated by that as a kid. And the idyllic 1950s-ness of the illustrations. I remember thinking cheese croquettes were what rich people who had summer homes ate.

from boombasticat :

Yes, absolutely they do make cheese croquettes. I did a quick web search and couldn't find the name of the book, but I guess it's more popular than I thought. I read it a lot when I was a kid. And I think you're right about the other stuff, too.

from somaserious :

Lurve:)any time, sweet cheeks (and can I tell you I just sent this note to myself first? Hee, hee, hee). smooch, soma

from somaserious :

Oh, I validate you! You are not being at all petty and trifling and have every right to feel hurt. This was a celebration of your love with DH, your commitment, and it speaks volumes. To not show up with a gift is downright rude. To not even acknowledge the event is sheer stupidity. You have EVERY RIGHT!! Especially about those close to you. What are they thinking not calling or writing or bearing gifts? It's abslolutely rude and curses on them all! much love and hugs, soma

from somaserious :

You are very, very welcome m'dear. Yes, solar, wind, too! If I had mucho dinero I would go live on some obscure island and take all the cool people with me. It would be a community of forward thinkers. I hate being stuck in a country of backward thinkers. Hopefully this next pres will have the balls to make some serious, serious changes! be well, much love, soma

from somaserious :

Oh, happy, joyous day! Congratulations and all of that. Sweet kisses and hugs all around. As for the doom, I feel it, too, and it scares the shit out of me. I say we all learn how to self-sustain, grow our own food, catch rainwater, build undergound tunnels, learn first-aid and how to shoot a gun (if at least to kill for some meat). Scary stuff!! Hopefully the crisis will be averted... much love, soma

from savemyseoul :

That sounds like an utterly lovely event. I imagine the day after a wedding feeling something like waking up from the longest, strangest dream of your life. Congratulations, and best wishes.

from somaserious :

Happy, happy wishes to you on your wedding weekend. May it all go without a hitch. May it be memorable and sweet. Also, congratulations on finally being in a home. It's nice to know you can now do whatever you want! I can't wait to hear how the wedding went... much love, soma

from boombasticat :

Congrats on the house! You've got all kinds of stuff cooking, huh? Anyway, sad to say that it probably will be the rain and the shivering I remember. On the drive back, I remember thinking, if I for some reason get a flat, I don't know if I'll be able to change it. I might expire on the side of the busiest interstate on the East Coast. But, yes, you're right. It was an experience and in twenty years, I'll be glad. Maybe I'll even be glad next week. I hope so.

from somaserious :

Ooo, you dirty taco, you...hee, hee, hee. smooch,soma

from somaserious :

Toof is, well, gone, but the pain still lingers. Mostly in the jaw joint, so I'll be getting some acupuncture for that tomorrow. So far it's relatively sealed up, almost healed up. Ugh, two weeks of pain is no fun at all. I now have a better appreciation of those who feel this way all the time with no let up in sight. How awful that must be! I'm about to read your latest....wedding, how fun! lots of love and smooches, soma

from savemyseoul :

I am, in fact, a little kids' teacher in Korea! It's pretty incredible, though it would be only fair to note that all elements of the stripper-pole/bucket'o'liquor/glowbracelet evening are rare to absent-ish in my normal life. - And I love the collision of wedding + Costco. Hope it all goes well!

from savemyseoul :

Hi there. I stumbled across your entries, and the last few on editing, and the woes of chopping, are really fascinating. I hope to read more, hope it's alright if I add you.

from somaserious :

Oh, I missed you birthday....happy birthday!!! Thank you so much for your great words, they really mean a lot to me :) Avoidance? Me, avoid? Never...okay, there's probably something that I'm just not admitting to myself, like how hubby and I just can't seem to get it together and are we really fooling ourselves that we can ever make it work. Yikes, that's just too scary. Anyway, hope you have a wonderful day!!! smooch, soma

from annanotbob :

Happy birthday!!

from blimplike :

A wedding can never go wrong with such a delicious sounding cake. And does it matter who 'you' are.. aslong as you're happy and content with yourself?

from somaserious :

Yahoo!! I see fifi has finally made your notes...It's so funny how we can look back at our past selves and think how alien they seem, yet so familiar at the same time. I often wonder "Why was I like that?" or "Why did I react that way?" Life is so full of changes, and it seems yours is headed in such a lovely direction. I wish you the best in marriage (not that it's going to be any different than it is now). I have to tell you that Griff has those anxious-leaning tendencies that I suffer, too. He hates to have his hands dirty, must have the matching pajama top to the bottoms, has this frustration growl that completely mimics my own. Ack! It will be a growing experience for both of us. And, enough of the pulp rape already! Hope all is well with the books... much smooching, soma

from annanotbob :

Congratulations! And thanks for the add xx

from fifidellabon :

Well, congratulations! It all sounds lovely! /Fifi

from annanotbob :

Hello - just read a few of your pages and have to add you - hope that's OK. I can't imagine cutting all those pages, or indeed editing at all. I've written first drafts of four novels, while holding down a job and bringing up kids, but I can't seem to manage the second stage. Best wishes with yours xx

from somaserious :

You know, the anxiety stuff is pretty much gone. I actually can't believe it somedays. However, life has been pretty great recently, which helps a lot. But even with the move looming and relationship shit I still manage to keep my heart from racing and my brain from shutting down. You know, I think it's the exercise, I really, really do. With that I can manage my manic side. Yahoo!!! Yeah, things are pretty good, thanks sweetie :) lots of smooch, soma

from boombasticat :

I get it! Took me a few minutes. The Nostalgia One Feels When Ordering Lunchmeat from a Deli Counter that Reminds One of Deli Counters from Long Ago. I'm into it.

from somaserious :

I'm an angry sleeper, too! I've said the most horrible things to hubby when I've been woken at a bad time (but any time you are awakened from sleep is a bad time, hmm?). It's frustrating even me to read how you have to pare down the book. Argh! And a pivotal part. Can't that be changed? Especially since it's so important to the story. It must be difficult to hear these things from someone outside of yourself and your stories. Chin up and all that. smooch,soma

from somaserious :

I COMPLETELY believe in "they come when they are called"! And it's not now. Thanks for your words as well... smooch,soma

from somaserious :

Oh, baby girl (that sounded like Kitt, BTW)! I'm so proud of you: of your perserverance, of your determination, of your dedication, even of you grumpiness towards your art and it's process. This has been a loooooong time in the making and you absolutely deserve it. Congratulations and large bear hugs and sloppy kisses! Yay, a house! Keep that quietness, it fits. smooch, soma

from boombasticat :

"Swimming through pudding or syrup." That sounds about right. I'm there with you. Chapter by chapter, right?

from somaserious :

I so miss the ocean. That's the problem with Vermont, it's not on the coast and it takes at least three hours to get to one. Not bad, I suppose. Cat girl!!! Hee, couldn't resist. Turns out both Griffyn and I are too allergic to stand the new kittie, so I'm a little sad about that. She needs a new home. For the best since we're moving, but she's so cool. But, there has been this feeling that she's not meant for our household, more like a passenger making a stop at our house. Anyhoo, beautiful pics, m'dear. You're sounding chipper and all. Hope your days continue as such. smooch,soma

from somaserious :

Could you send me those site links via gmail account? I'm very interested. Bette bugs me, too. Maybe her controlling side reminds me too much of me...whatever! soma, smooch

from somaserious :

Ha!!!! Queefing. I love it. Laughed very hard and needed it. smooch,soma

from boombasticat :

I meant to congratulate you on your book, by the way. Any idea when it'll be out?

from somaserious :

L word IS girl porn. Yay us! I may be preggers as we speak...ovulated this weekend. Cross your fingers! smooch,soma

from somaserious :

Thanks!! Hurts my eyes, too. Perhaps we should complain... xoxo,soma

from somaserious :

It's back on youtube! I just watched episode 9 yesterday. Check out Cha927 or Cha297 (I think. I'll find the right name). She's been uploading them again. hearts, soma

from somaserious :

Thank you so much, m'dear. It was a grande day that always goes by too fast. I absolutely love the birthday. It's your day. smooches all around! Can you stand the L Word?!! So much climaxing at the end of the last show. Whew... smooch,soma

from somaserious :

JD, you're so cool. I think that I will try that because every damn time I have those dreams it kills me! It's like I'm right back in that space where my heart hurts. The best therapy I ever had was with this therapist who did nothing but dreamwork. It was awesome. And so revealing on so many different leves. She didn't interpret, just guide me through each dream. So great. I just love doing that with dreams because they are where you work everything out. When I dream of that guy he still has this control in some way and it's not at all fun. I don't want to play anymore. Tonight, tonight I'll give it a try. smooch,soma

from somaserious :

Oh my god, those were awesome! and I hope you don't get this note twice. I also said that I will definitely join your club and that it should go national... smooch, soma

from somaserious :

"I'm as moist as a snack cake down there"??!!! Tee, hee. Thanks for the offer. Maybe some day I'll think of a cool look. What I'd like to do is just learn it myself already! It can be that hard, right? I checked out Frontpage and it's definitely not in the budget if I'm just tinkering around. Anyway, I'm happy with what I have for now. Self-destruction! You go girl! Glad to hear things are well. Smooches for you,soma

from somaserious :

Ah, JD, growing pains m'dear. Sorry to hear you so sad and dragging. Perhaps the pills, yes, but also a dig to the artist herself. Geoffrey calls February "Banshee Season" because this is the month where all that will go wrong will go wrong. Spring is coming! Re-birth, re-newal, re-you. You have the capacity to write great things! It's inside of you, I can feel it. Plus your new look on d-land rocks! Where can I get me one of those? I'm sure knowing something about web design would help. That's not something I know, so I stick with the templates until I can teach myself new tricks. Good luck with the love search... kisses, soma

from somaserious :

HA!!! That's so flippin funny and so true! I've always wondered if Dland was made originally for cat lovers and then they decided to change the name so more people would join and they could weild their cat powers to make us all cat lovers. I have a cat, but I don't take pictures. I love my cat, but not that much... BTW, I think you may be channeling Jenny from L Word. You tyrant you. I can just see it now, the assistant, the desk, hmmm...could be good! Funny cats! xoxoxo,soma

from boombasticat :

A few months ago, I spent an hour looking for a group on flickr called anything like No More Cat Photos or Enough With the Cats Already, but came up with nothing.

from somaserious :

We need IM... The cheeseburger analogy might be a bit tame for what you are proposing for you and DH, but at the same time if sleeping with other people now and then made you both happy, then do it. Just make sure that there are no consequences that will be slapping you in the face down the road. As long as you two are both okay with it then go for it. Just make sure you're doing it for the right reasons. I've seen an open marriage go very bad, that's why I'm writing on the side of caution. Would it be so bad if you two were single instead of together? Yes, there's the kids and all of the complications that go with that, but would both of you be better off without the other? I'm getting into some stuff that's not appropriate for the notes section, and I could write more, so I'll email. Could you pop me an email at my address so that I have it on this computer? kisses, soma

from somaserious :

Thanks!!! Free hugs! I'm not so sure about the whole "open marriage" thing. Why bother being in a committed relationship if you can't commit to one person? That's just me. I know I wouldn't be able to do it because it goes against who I am, that's why I don't even think about cheating, not that I'm even close to feeling that way anyway...I'm not in the least bit judgeing you, JD, so please don't think that I am. If it works for both parties then go for it. We have a friend who's marriage is open and they seem to make it work. I just won't do it myself. Plus where would it fit into my schedule?! smooch!soma

from somaserious :

Aw, I'm the first one to leave a message. Anyway, that video had me practically sobbing, sobbing I tell you! How do you get youtube onto your blogs? Just email me. I'm about to compose one to you about the whole lovin-the-ladies thing. It's got me in a twist... smooches and hugs, soma
