positive light

okay, so. lets see, how do i write this, when she might read it? better timing. yes. better timing. on both of our parts. both of our lives are up in the air right now, where we are going to land, we don't know. *but* at least we get to hang out together as friends, and hopefully support each other through our own personal "whats gonna happen next?" and "wtf is my brain going to do about it?" and you never know, the timing might become right. so, the positive light, yes. she's incredibly sweet, shy, smart, and strong (though she doesn't know it... i told her tonight that *i* don't hang out with weak women. i can sense a weak woman from a mile away, at least a mile away if a relationship of any sort is about to happen. and while they might have positive qualities, in the end the relationship just won't work out, because *i* will walk all over them, and then feel guilty, and thats just bad for a relationship of any kind). and as i'd written here last night, but took it down because i wasn't sure how she'd take it, and now i've said it too her, she has more to offer the world than i think she realizes.

so good. a new friend. i need new friends like the east coast needs water. and if we were to have a relationship, that would be great too. but what would be perfect, in my eyes, is a good friend and the relationship to go with it. so, till then / if it happens, at least i've got a new positive light in my life, and i'm thrilled. oh, and if you read this, and you don't know its about you.. well. you will.. how can you not?

on other fronts. there isn't much to report. got the dental stuff from the insurance.. i've been approved to have lots of painful procedures done and spend money i don't have.

on the disability insurance front, nothing. its a wait and see game. another reason not to have a realtionship right now, i'm not stable till i get a stable disabliltiy income and am able to live within its means.

anything else? oh yeah. this whole new look thingy. i like it. i don't know what others think of it. but i like it and thats all that counts.

and on that note its time to lie down and deal with my sleep deamons.

oh wait, did i tell you i have a massage this week? hahahahaha, i'll be telling you every day! my left arm is still bothering me, so this is good. but not in the same place. the pain moves.

i also have 2 hours of psychological testing to look forward too on tuesday.. woooo weee, and an argument with my dr about whether to stay on this current drug or not. i'll say to her--- its not the fucking drug, its that positive light. whenever someone new enters my life my mood raises. so, there! you haven't known me long enough. its the positive light and the massage therapist. you can call k and ask her how thursday and friday were. :P.

and on that note, i'm drifting, i hope. g'night.

Thanks for the positive light in my email box this morning. I've stopped crying when I think about. Now, I just get a little teary. Much more managable.

Oh, I love, love, love the redesign. Very cool.

I'm feeling inspired to change mine again. Not the colors, which I'm really happy with, but the formatting. But, it might be a while.

Thank you, Brooke.

1) LOVE the new look. Very alive.

2) HATE you. Why? cause I listened to Alix & fell in love. I visit her site on Friday and see that she's in town! Problem? I had to be in the burbs on Friday. No if's, and's, or but's about it. So she came & went from Chicago without me witnessing her glory. *sigh*

3) Oh, ok...I still love you. Esp since you added the remember me box. :)

I sang for you
though you did not hear
and I sang to the tree spirits
asking them to release your fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing for you

I sing with you
though you may not hear
we sing for your spirit
may it rise above fear
every living thing is vulnerable
I'm powerless to change that
Still I sing with you

brooke
brooke is a lesbian, radical feminist, cat lover, bibliophile, non-smoker, unitarian universalist (though she doesn't go to fellowship on a regular basis) and in the process of becoming athletic again. she dreams of being jeanne d' arc and swooping in and saving those that need saved (though she'd rather not be burned at the stake). she is a loyal friend who will do anything she can for those she loves, but she can flakey sometimes when her depression flares up. she is a loner. a southerner self-transplanted to the pacific northwest in 1998 and now believes that it doesn't rain enough here. she's known for her honesty, she can't help it, its the only way to be. she is 4'8" tall, and round. she has natural blonde hair and she also has blue eyes. she is very intense. she hates small and large crowds, she prefers the one on one or the one on a few. she has no idea what she wants to do with her life, though she would like to see more of the world than what she has seen so far (a good part of the continental united states) and she very much wants to be a mother. finally, she has huge crushes on alix olson and carolyn gage (these are from a far).
