8:08pm

i'm going over to jason's for a bit.
then i'll be home and get the pictures i took today up for you :)

7:27pm

got outside and took pix but not as many as i would have liked because i kept getting stopped by people who wanted to touch my hair. and one guy wants to paint me. his name is carlos. he was a sweet little hispanic hippy guy. and then i ran into a friend of mine, chris strouth, and we talked and talked and talked and that was good.
i could write more about it all, but i want to sort through the photos i took right now.i think there might be a few good ones. it was such a gorgeous day outside! i feel good having gone out into it :)

4:27pm

i dreamed i bought sample sizes of vegemite, promite, and marmite.
i wonder if this stuff actually tastes like how it tasted in my dream.
in my dream , i liked it.

i should get outside for a walk. it's another beautiful day.
and after today it is supposed to get cold again.

my house is so hot. the sun beats down on this building and heats it up like an oven. it's probably 15 degrees hotter in here that in it outside. it's 66 degrees out.

money spent yesterday:

12.60 on beverages

death

well, what a strange feeling. i did a directory search on people who live in the twin cities who are close to my age somewhat, and i run across mintfreak's journal. and i kind of remembered that username as she was friends with some of my lj friends so that makes me happy, so i clicked and i find out that she died last year! it made me feel sad and strange all over :(
it's always so weird to see someone's last diary entry. i wonder if she knew it would be her last one? and what a bummer to see that some people will still leave a couple stupid comments even to an entry about someone who has just died. unreal.
but most were sweet and kind.

i wonder what my last diary entry will be...

i wonder how many livejournals are still up whose owners have died?

3:25am

vegimite, marmite, or promite:
which is better? what is the difference?
i want to try some.
what does it taste like?

2:11am

my birthday

i can't decide if i will have a big birthday dinner on the 18th, or a small birthday dinner. if i had a large one where everyone was invited who wanted to come, who would be able/want to have dinner with me on the 18th?
i am thinking maybe of going out for mexican food or sushi. if not many people are available on that day, then i guess it will be a small one by default :)

if anyone would like to get me a birthday present, one thing you can get me is to buy a friend a gift membership to ana2 here:
http://www.ana2.com/anamart/
it is nonrecurring :)
this way your friend gets something cool, and i get money which i will use to buy some stainless steel yarn at:
http://www.texturatrading.com/ to make myself a hat from!
and it will be my birthday hat (which i will not sell, because it will be your present to me) which i will treasure forever :)
and i will fully document for you the making of it through photos, words and video and let you have access to the entire process.
(or you can just buy me some stainless steel yarn straight from that site).

or i would like you to give the gift (starting at only $20) of a tree/rabbit/goose/cow/bee etc, to a family in need at:
