Leaving, learning, leaning

There are some special things that people have given to me over the years. Letters, poems, sculptures, music, their time, their kisses. When possible I keep them in special files or displayed. These items that were crafted by hand show the minds of the people behind them. They convey emotion even though they are just inanimate objects. When meaning is given to something, a sort of life begins.

I haven't been able to crack the right side of my neck for over two weeks now. I can get the little cracks to come out, but the really good feeling kind just won't happen. It hurts to crack my big toe on my right foot too, but that's been the case for several months now. The good news about my body today is that I had my eye doctor check up and one year after surgery my vision is still 20/15. One year down... another 30-40 to go?

Summertime settle down time. I'm getting that feeling from friends and some strangers. However, the ever rampant run free and dip your stick in every bowl of honey isn't gone or forgotten either. I find myself in the former group now. I'm taking time to get to know people and see who they are as people and see how that fits in with me. (Or doesn't) I feel extremely impatient through this process, but I know what happens when one foregoes taking the time. If I were straight, I'd probably end up married and wondering why I was. Not fun. This is the right we fight for? Well, why not? We should be able to have just as great of fuck ups as anyone else. (Oh, and the joys too =)

Fourth of July weekend was spent at the beach for two days. I became ill with strep throat on Sunday and I don't remember being hit with it so hard since I was a child. Leftover Levaquin seems to be taking care of it. Who knew you could buy antibiotics online without a prescription? Crazy beautiful.

Tripping The Rift. Very funny show.
