shore

[starfrosting]

So, I'm down the shore with my family, prepared to head back...tomorrow! It's been sorta icky weatherwise and because today was my dad's birthday he schlepped us over to A.C. to eat cheesesteaks and walk on the boardwalk, family bondage to its highest and most endearing degree. I got sunburnt on my shoulders. Me, the palest swarthy guy around! Hmph.

Oh, and you know what I didn't do today?
Smoke a single cigarette.

One day, and counting. I guess I'm pretty proud, in that way that I wish I weren't quitting at all. I just keep telling myself, "just for the summer" so I can keep it manageable. The prospect of never smoking a cigarette again is a bit daunting right now.

I've been reading Grosz's The Nick of Time and learning about Darwinism and pure difference. I've been enjoying the special tv we have down here that lets me watch Sex and the City whenever I want. I've been missing Cristina like mad and wishing Rorymou never left and chewing plenty of Nicorette. I've been having mad (I'd say wicked if I were from Boston) productive and fascinating invaluable conversations with Keren to boot.

Work starts Wednesday and I need to call Val to figure out what time to come in. I'm getting nervous but I think that's just the angst of returning to a routine. (Reminding myself that actually I rather like working there, despite the 11 hour workday.)

Oh my g-d, I think my dog just had a seizure. I gotta go.

WHERE DID YOU FIND EMPLOYMENT?!

[jaclyn325mink.livejournal.com]

hahahahahaha

at the turkey hill. and how long are you alone at your house for!? we should hang out. ::hugs::

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Dude, can we drag the mattress down there now that you work there?
I'd ask you to scam me ci's if I hadn't quit (worst thing EVER))

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

I should. I think I'll have Mondays and Tuesdays off.

hours?

[de-cryptic.livejournal.com]

Hey Olicim you gotta let me know what your work schedule is like so that I can see when I can stop by in PA. I feel like Saturday night will make most sense, but it depends on your schedule...
And sorry about you missing people... When are you going to get to see Cristina next?

Re: hours?

Evvvvrecim,
I will be working boatloads, probably Wednesdays to Sundays, morning to 11ish at night. Ergo Saturday night would not be the best, but when are you coming? I've probably mentioned to you that I'm taking off the last weekend of June to go up to NY for dyke march etc so I don't know if you'll be around then, but...Hmm. I'm evidently bad at planning. Just come see me cos I miss you buckets!! (ie, maybe we can plan this out better later? lack of nicotine is seriously frying my brain)

I think I won't get to see Cristina until mid-August. :(

Soo much love---

Re: hours?

Olicim I will call you, but another option would be stopping by at you tomorrow night. Clearly I am pretty bad at planning, too. And I start teaching next Tuesday, so my Mondays and Tuesdays will not be conducive to traveling, but I am hoping to go back to NY July 1st-4th (because 4th is of and 1st I am cancelling class, heh :)) so maybe then? There is the live-8 concert in Philadelphia on the 2nd, and I feel like we have to see Stevie Wonder, don't you think?

Re: hours?

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Oh, my! Um let's see, tomorrow night. Uhhh, why not? I would love love love to see you. I'll be out of work around 10-11ish that night and...I might have to go in the next morning around 11ish, but yknow we can wake up and eat breakfast and drink lots of coffee before I have to go to work, and then you can come meet Val the chef I adore, and and and...Yes, please come up! If the 2nd is a Monday or Tuesday then yes I definitely can. Anyway, come see me! Dyou have my home address?

[dreamofapriest.livejournal.com]

please come to philadelphia soon, i am very lonely, there is no one here at my house anymore!

also, when is dykemarch again cause i keep thinkin about it and getting really giddy. i am dead serious, i wanna go

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

I do wanna come. Maybe tomorrow? I will call you. (And if I don't call by like noon, maybe you should call me.)

I don't know when dyke march Philly is but I'm going to the one in NYC which is saturday the 25th I think. Philly might be on...the 12th? something like that.

see you soon sheener

we have so much in common. we should make out.

[phlat.livejournal.com]

hang. hang out. dammit.

anyway, i was down the shore too! (this is pennsylvanian for "at the beach" right?

and my dog has siezures too.
a lot.
now he takes medicine for it that makes him fat because it messes up his thyroid.
and so he also takes thyroid medicine.

anyway, i still haven't figured out the employment thing, but some kinda hanging out still oughta happen this summer.
especially since i like PA for reasons that aren't wholly related to your summertime residence there. (you are somewhere in pennsylvania, right?)

Re: we have so much in common. we should make out.

[starfrosting.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Dyou like apple pie? (worst/best pick-up line ensues)

We do have so much in common that we really need to, erm, hang out ; ). I am in PA, southeastern PA as it were like an hour and a half north of Philly in the middle of nowhere as it were, but if you ever come down I will not be working Mondays and Tuesdays. Also I'm fucking off from work for Dyke March etc so if you're gonna be in the NY area (which you are, right?) in the last weekend of June then you should come be dykey with me.

In that previously-discussed, open-ended gender-inclusive lesbian separatist kinda way. Haha.

delightedly,
Oli

I don't know what's up with mine but she seems to be alright today.
