what else should I say?

installed and played thru the 1st cd of old Descent: FreeSpace. just to have something to think of other than the news. could have done some work instead, I suppose, but nothing beats the feeling of pushing everything away.

got three or four messages (or phone calls) from my friends while I was sitting here. alone. sometimes it's just so good to be alone.

wonder if I shouldn't take a vacation alone instead. doing some travelling. that would be good. I've toyed with the thought of going to Northern Africa, but I'm not sure if this is the best time. not afraid for myself, but my mother would get the creeps.

Maragor SMS'd me around 01, telling me how glad he was that Callie had me. and that he had me. only not in that way. =) gotta love that guy.

could it be necessary to remain so mad?

mistaken. didn't read long enough.

friendships have been sundered, and people I have respected are reduced to little more than the proverbial festering ball of hate we have smirked at. I hope John and Granak might be able to see eye to eye again some time in the future. and I wish that I were there. to once more drape myself in a mantle of diplomacy. be the calm negotiator to parley peace. but whoever said "there is no neutrality" forgot that a certain event not too many years ago saw a whole lot of neutrality - lasting at least two years.

dance, dream, & fevered wish

plan for tonight:

• meeting Kjinge
  
• meeting Sindre
  
• watching the champion's league game with Leon & the boys
  
• eating
  
• not drinking
  
• finish reviewing some stuff for work
  
• play some more FreeSpace
  

aren't I happy Sis helped me clean up at home. it's so much easier to stay organized. =P

tomorrow she comes again. Simon arrives on Friday. which is when Goldie wondered if we could meet. and Callie's supposed to be home this weekend watering the animals (her words). which probably means I can see her on Thursday... hope so.
