Went to have drinks with Simonshit +1, Sven and Mekez last night. Drinks turned out to be dinner, but with my allergies, I stuck to booze and bread (with a dark chocolate aero for dessert). It was a fun night, with lots of laughing and stories and merriment. That was cool. It's been a while since I spent a nice night like that.

Got home, checked my email. Date for tonight cancelled on me. Considering she was driving from Ottawa, it's understandable, but it still sucks.

So now, I have a headache, I'm hungry, and my baseline blues are above-average (je suis bleu fonce, comme dirais Mekez).

Yay.

Hey strychnyn, could you teach me? I'm in dire need of a way to relax :)

Do you know that it's been months since I was last kissed?

Rc says:
  i miss it
Rc says:
  so much
Rc says:
  you wouldn't believe it
Sparrow says:
  yes I would
Rc says:
  how'd you deal with it?
Rc says:
  I'm going bonkers
Sparrow says:
  I don't think about it.
Rc says:
  especially since all the people around me are falling in love, and telling me all about it. 
Rc says:
  don't get me wrong, I'm super thrilled for them
Rc says:
  but it's making me really, really blue
Sparrow says:
  I don't dwell on it because I know that everytime I dwell, that when I am the least likely to be able to get out of it
Sparrow says:
  no one wants to date someone who's desperate.
Rc says:
  i know, but I'm dwelling right now, and I can't seem to shake it
Sparrow says:
  Well, keep trying I guess.

Keep trying… Easier said than done. Sparrow found someone to make her toes curl, Nh has an active interest in someone, eniran is gaga abour her girl, strychnyn is not much farther off with her boi. I love all these people. I'm really happy for them. The boi seems to genuinly care for Sb, so that's a good thing, and he seems like a nice guy. The girl seems as smitten about Sn as she is about the girl, so that's also good.

I'm just … depressed? horny? unloved? All of those are partly true, but it's not that … bad. I dunno. I know I have friends that care for me, and that's really helpful. I also know that it's a cyclic thing, and that'll also pass. I also know that it'll happen in its own damn time, and can't be forced.

I finally also know that I'm tired of sleeping alone, and I miss intimacy.

Today will be the suck.

I wish I could go home, go back to bed, and wake up 2 weeks from now. Anybody want to join me?

You know it had to happen. Someone is suing Janet Jackson, Justin Timberlake, CBS, MTV, and Viacom because of the boobie incident. Citing “outrage, anger, embarrassment and serious injury” due to the “sexually explicit conduct” during the Superbowl, some nimrod is filing a proposed class-action lawsuit “on behalf of all Americans”, seeking compensatory and punitive damages.

I've said it once, I'll say it again, God bless America. Original story at The smoking gun.

In other news from the dumb, Dubya is speaking out against same-sex marriage. Old Dubya says a constitutional amendment will be necessary to ban gay marriages if state court judges persist in approving them.

A quote: “Marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a woman. If activist judges insist on redefining marriage by court order, the only alternative will be the constitutional process. We must do what is legally necessary to defend the sanctity of marriage.” That dude is just plain scary. People don't want to follow your opinions? Force them to. After all, God told you it was your duty… Scaaaaary.

Found this this morning.

Seeing as the US already has a chimp for president, I'd vote for the 8-ball.
