Oh! And I ran into Andi. Sir! E-mail me at taijimao@hotmail.com or call at 206.915.0788! ***** I also need to tell people that I won't be running my Star Wars game this quarter. I have too much on my plate right now, and my spare time (after school and work) goes to Jeremy. I ran myself down so badly the last two quarters that I was sick for two for my three weeks of break -- my voice still hasn't recovered, actually.

Current Music: Computer Fan 'cause I just got home. Subject: Supermarket Drama Time: 06:38 pm Current Mood: chipper

Ran into my friend with the crazy girlfriend in the QFC by my house today. Jessica and I had just finished our Mimosas and Shopping trip. It was mildly awkward and pretty hilarious for me, very awkward for them, and highly amusing for Jess. I think my friend got In Trouble with Crazy Chick. That's the only part that I thought less than incredibly funny. Poor guy. However, I'm not going to apologize to her for shopping in the nearest supermarket to my house when I don't have a car. ***** Also, scene assignments for class on Tuesday are in. I'm doing Mamet's Oleanna with a Gay Indian Software Project Manager. That description, by the way, is also an exact description of his personality. It was described by my girlfriend Jessica as "fabulously boring". Also, Pizza Man with my girl Stephanie. We're about the same age and get along really well, so it was inevitable that we get put together at some point. And I need to have Hamlet read by Tuesday.

Current Music: NPR - The Conversation Subject: Hmm, clothes. Time: 02:07 pm Current Mood: mellow

Jessica's birthday tomorrow, so we're going out tonight since she teaches tomorrow night. We have reservations at Tango Tapas on Capitol Hill (where we went for my birthday last month) for 6. This, of course, makes us senior citizens, except for the fact that Jess plans on sitting and drinking for hours (much like my birthday, where I drank a bottle of champaigne and some brandy -- no hangover, btw). So! What's in the closet, hmm? What couture (if my wardrobe can be classified as such) goes well with olives and goat cheese?

Current Music: Portishead (Dummy) Subject: 'Say, "Chill out, B****!"' Time: 01:26 am Current Mood: satisfied

So there I was, telling Jeremy about my day (including the wacky e-mail from my ex), when the aforementioned friend calls. "I'm sitting here with my girlfriend having a chat. She wants to know if you're pursuing me." It was around 10:30 pm. "Of course not! And my boyfriend is here if she'd like to talk to him, as well. Jesus fucking christ! I'm sorry to get my bitch on, but I find the implication that I would hurt the man I love as well as a good friend, or, hell, anybody including her to be really fucked up!" Pause. His voice was a little muffled. "She says no." At this point, I gave a severely truncated explanation to my sweetie, because I hadn't gotten to that part of the day yet. He (and this is very indicative of Jeremy) laughed and shouted, "Tell the bitch to chill out! Say, 'Chill out, Bitch!'" I couldn't help but laugh (bad idea) and said, "Okay, insulting anybody isn't going to help." "It's from Pulp Fiction! I was quoting a movie!" My friend was pretty damn cold after that. "Yeah, I know he's just trying to lighten the mood--" which he wasn't, he was just being Jeremy, "--but that's not helpful right now." We wrapped it up pretty quickly after that. It took me a minute to figure out why I was so crazy mad and why it stayed with me so much right after the call. I had gotten so mellow hanging out with Jeremy that being ripped right back into grouchy mode made it worse. A lot worse. Oh, well, I thought it was funny. Jeremy, for all of his inappropriate jokes, is usually just about the only person that can make me laugh sometimes. I take myself waaay too seriously, so I welcome this kinda thing. But I did have to turn my phone off for the rest of the night to get any peace of mind -- or the booty that comes with it.

Current Music: NPR Subject: Chicks are crazy! Grr!!! Time: 10:20 pm Current Mood: full

I didn't realize that it had been more than a year since I had posted. Anyway, the quick update is that I live in Ballard and I have internet access again. Go me. Okay, this is the dumb. I have a very close friend, a guy, who is also a neighbor of mine. We spend a lot of time together. Cause he's my friend. That's what friends do. This guy is in a relationship. Has been for two years. I've met her once. But from everything he tells me, he A) is still very much in love with her and B) gets treated like shit by her. I'm not happy with my friend always being hurt, but he sees something great in her (and, unlike some friends, I trust his judgement in relationships). So, I don't really say much. But, here's the thing: they share a phone plan. Which she goes over. Very carefully, apparently, because today SHE CALLED HIM AT WORK TO ACCUSE HIM OF HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH ME. He was so distraught that he had to leave work, whereupon he called me, of course, telling me about that dumb, dumb, emergency. Now, I'm in a great relationship. The best of my life; some of that has to do with the great work I've done on me and some has to do with the fact that this man is one of the finest human beings that I've ever met. I'm sure as hell not going to do something as obviously stupid as cheat on him. Crazy chick knows this -- well, the boyfriend part, not the sappy bits. This does nothing to dissuade her. In fact, she claims that the fact that neither of us called or texted each other on the same weekend that she was out of town means (of course) that we must have been TOGETHER. Also, neither my friend nor I are stupid. He knows how to read a phone bill. He introduced me to her at a professional event of mine, even. Clearly, we have to be the most brash or the dumbest illicit lovers ever, because don't see or feel the need to, say, be illicit. I didn't think it would make me so upset, but it did. I got really pissed about this today. Well. Well, as my monogamous partner Jeremy would say, Fuck her, anyway, if she can't take a joke. Break her window.

Current Music: Nick Cave -- "As We Came Along This Road" Subject: Weekend Update Time: 03:38 pm Current Mood: crappy

Last week: missed Carissa's Weird's Farewell show. Instead I was at a sucky rehearsal/workshop. This week: spent a day at Triple J feeling sorry for myself and writing, trying to recover from my crappy creative spot. After seven hours in the comfy chair by the fire, everything still sucked. Jessica called, we chatted about the last rehearsal, I went home. Avoided everyone except Doug (Tuesday, all day at Caffe Fiore), Jess (a half-hour business meeting that I was late to because of a wreck on 405), and Devin. Devin and I hung out on Wednesday -- that was nice. It always makes me feel good to spend time with him because he treats me like a princess! Yay! I was so wrapped up in everything today, though, that I didn't get the chance to hang like we were supposed to. Oh, yeah, I went to Shadowrun, hashed a few things out with the group at large. I ended up, by myself, representing a dissatisfied portion of the group, since the other two were asleep or at the movies. Whatever. Job searching sucks, too. Tonight: Spend time with Doug and maybe Gina. I miss my G-girl! This weekend: See the Matrix with Gina, who saw it already and liked it. Go to my parents, work my butt off. Workshop. Although I'm blocked again because of last weekend. Nuts. Next week: Get Less Than Jake tickets. I promised that I'd take Doug. They did his theme song. :D Jessica will also join us, maybe Mike and Doug's friend Jay. It's an all-ages show (yuck), but a good venue (the Showbox). Continue avoiding most people until I feel better. Take care, all.

I also had an adventure yesterday (besides the lock-picking). Jessica had this great plan to go get mussels from a place she loves on Penn Cove, Whidbey Island. So, after rehearsal, we drove aaaaall the way up there in the driving rain and wicked wind. After we got off the ferry in Clinton, we drove for about half an hour before one of us wondering aloud why the stoplights weren't working. We drive some more. No lights in nearby buildings, either. Hmm. So, we get to Coupeville, land of yummy bivalves (or so I'm told, can't stand the things), and, indeed, the entire island is out of power. Whee! BUT! The place that Jess likes was serving, cooking over a fire, until it got dark. She had mussels, I had chicken. There was a bizarre quality of light; partly northwest grey-green ocean, partly incredible coral sunset. Eerie and lonely. We were one of only four occupied tables at The Mad Crab Cafe, taking candles with us to the toilets and drinking cold water and warm crab bisque. After leaving Coupeville, we drove back to Clinton, only to be told that the ferries had stopped running due to the high winds. So we drove aaaaall the way to Deception Pass and through Anacortes to get home at around nine-thirty. The entire time, Jessica was making up a ghost story about the island and a boat we saw out in Penn Cove. Except for the conversation we had about her husband where he thinks she'll leave him for me. Heh heh.

...my 35-year-old boyfriend taught me how to pick locks. He also told me stories about when he actually had to use these nefarious skills to his quasi-legal advantage. My favorite involved him breaking into a stranger's car when the man's two-year-old had locked him out. Apparently, the man was mystified, and asked, "Who are you?" My guy worked for the Canadian Consulate at the time. I told him that he should have said, with a straight face, "Sir, I work for the Canadian Government."

Subject: Also... Time: 04:38 pm Current Mood: cranky

Stupid geekery alert! ***** Grr! My Shadowrun game. It's cool. Really. But I always feel like Jimi Hendrix playing with the Beatles when I'm there. Two great sounds... I guess the issue is perception. My idea of cyberpunk is Roy Batty fighting for his life: "All those memories, lost...like tears in rain." And I like proactivism (silly word, that) in games. I don't really like waiting for a Johnson to tell me what to do. I want to go out and make my own fun. Have my own goals, goals that have nothing to do with the mercenary nature of Shadowrunning. Yeah, yeah, that's not the point of this game. I knew that...and I'm trying to play by their rules, but it's not that interesting. I love my character, and I love most of the other PCs (and some NPCs). I adore the love/hate between Ophelia and Blackfeather, Hashi's dotage upon Ghost, Vivian's sexy, sassy line of work, and Bridgefield's Good Old Boy mores ("We gonna get ourselves some BIG-ASS AWAKENED BASS!"). The emotional lives of these characters are superb and the RP is wonderful. Our (current) GM is truly one of the best I've ever seen. But we had a car chase that I was not involved in take an hour last night. Sigh. I built the character that I did for a reason. I don't like combat, so I made the "face" of the group. I don't understand the rules very well, so I allowed in-game reasons for ignoring them. Frankly, complex rules in a game make it slow for many reasons. Slow is bad. But some people thrive on that kinda thing. I don't. I have the flaw of the novel reader: I want to know what happens next. If I have to wade through a firefight that I'm not directly involved in for an hour-and-a-half (It's Shadowrun, so you know I'm not exaggerating), then the tension will be lost and I will lose interest. Granted, our regular GM is much harder to deal with. He's smart and creative and funny, but he has pretty bad ADD, so he has the tendency to get bogged down in the rules. Also, he's too wrapped up in one-upping in this game (unlike other games that I've been in with him) to let other people do what they do best when left to their own devices. Our current GM is much, much better at giving everyone something they love -- really, he's great. I'm having a good time, just not as good as I want it to be. I guess I shouldn't complain. However, a friend of mine once said that we run the games that we want to play in. So, I will. Brad and I will offer to run something that WE like. Epic. Character-driven. Cinematic. With a beginning, middle, and end. Something that I can love as a GM or as a player. There is at least one other player in this group who's having the same problems with this that we are. Ironically, she's the regular GM's girlfriend. I hope that, at the very least, she'll like it.

Hola, Chico! Ooo! I'm so jealous of your friend. I want a summer Christmas. That would ROCK. HARD. Your trip around the island sounds like fun, too. Yeah, the east coast totally sucks in summer! The worst part is the humidity. Seattle isn't nearly as hot in summer -- Tim said that Wellington was pretty similar in temperature to us, which from my reading I gather is true. I don't like being cold, either, but I don't like lots of heat. Right now in autumn, it's perfect, because I can bundle up and not worry about too much of one thing. Also, it's pretty out. I had a good weekend -- Monday and Tuesday I drove with a friend up to his family's cabin in the Cascade mountain range. There was a big (rain) storm Monday, so we stayed in and read to each other by the fire, but Tuesday was glorious. We hiked, and I got to skinny-dip in an alpine lake. COLD! But SO worth it! I'll never get the chance again, I figure. It was mucho relaxing -- I needed it. My kitty actually died...sad. But he had a really good life, so...I guess that it's okay. I still have one kitty to keep me company. On an up note, there's only eight days left until Halloween. THE BEST HOLIDAY EVAR! Time for some righteous party-hopping and play time. Love!

Today! I bought boots -- can I afford them? The jury is still out. But I needed new cool-weather footwear. Besides...BOOTS. Also, I turning a bunch of online applications. Sigh. Money is nifty, but I don't want to work again. Actually, I kinda do. I'm a bit of a workaholic anyway...and now all I have to workahol is writing, writing, writing...which is fine, but I need to get out of my head more. That reminds me...before Wednesday I need to write up some flyers for classes I'll be running in Marysville. Also, business cards for IW Productions. I always forget! Grr. After workshopping/rehearsing (it's becoming more rehearsal-like now! yay!) yesterday I went to Caitlin's and we went and saw Bubba Ho-Tep. It's charming...touching really. Yeah, it's Bruce Campbell being funny, but it's not really belly-laugh funny. It's sad and sweet. I love it...Doug needs to see it. Also, Uncle Tim and Cuz Dave, but who knows if it'll even be in theaters in Wellington? Maybe I can send them a DVD. Ona final note, my Vespa obsession is growing. I'm trying to get Doug to go kick tires with me...just for fun. Honest. Oh...today I also chatted with Devin. We're going to go eat something together next weekend. It's amazing how much I have in common with my friends! We all eat things. Sometimes we even eat the same things.

Hey! Actually, I was just looking at NZ travel books today. I'll sit in the travel section of bookstores and fantasize...I wanna go! I'm so sad that I have no money for travel. Well, I still don't have a paying job. Poverty sucks. However "sucks" and "awesome" are not mutually exclusive. At least I've had plenty of time to work on my show and play around in between job searches. We're done writing Act I and about halfway through writing Act II (out of three acts). I need to send what we have off to my Music Director/Composer. It's great, but sometimes it makes me more braindead than a paying job. A couple of bad things: one of my kitties is very sick (the one that lives with my parents) with diabetes and some digestive complications. Also, my father-in-law (Caitlin's husband's father, that is) had a myocardial fibrilation -- not quite a heart attack -- the other day. He woke up last night, and only has some short-term memory problems, which is very good, I hear. My folks are good, though. My dad keeps making "kit wine" -- you can send off for grapes and make your own wine. It turns out to be very inexpensive and pretty good. Decent table wine, at least. I'm also doing some work for them. Otherwise, I wouldn't have much money. The weather has become very autumnal -- though, of course, it's spring there. We have wind and rain and everything is turning colors. Lots of fun, I think. I'm also planning on selling my car (even though I love it) and buying a Vespa. Not right away, maybe in the next six months. Of course, I'll get wet, but who cares? Well, I will, if I get sick. I guess that means lots of vitamins and a waterproof poncho. Take care and give Aunt Jan and Uncle Tim a hug and kiss for me!

Hurrah! The week in perspective. The good news: The rough draft of Act I of my show is written and waiting for the music director to begin composing. Go me! Less writer's block means more LUV! I've been hanging out with this guy Doug a lot. Very nice fellow -- he's offered to fly me out to one of the most important people in my life in my/her/our time of need. Wow. Thanks. It's nice out. Autumnally nice. My sister's husband, Ken, whose compant was threatening to moving him to icky Scottsdale, has a new job at Amazon. They stay, yippee! The bad news: Glenn and I are on a "break" due to my writer's block and his starting school. I dunno, I have been writing, so maybe that's good news? The whole thing is really an existential mixed message. Oh, well, life will resolve itself as usual. I'm a little sick with that crud that everyone has. Mostly a sore throat for the last week or so, so I have to take care of myself. I can't do vocal work if I'm sick. No job. Yay! but that means: No money. Boo! That's kinda it. My mom keeps pestering me with such charming phrases as, "So, how's work?" Ma, you know I'm still looking for a job. "Oh. Right." I may be going to this old-school punk show tomorrow with my girl Jessica. Hey, I still gotta do research for the show. It's (at the risk of sounding seventeen -- bear with me, I'm on cold meds and these are Jess' words) "some old British guy" who's a friend of a friend. Sweet.

Subject: I am obviously spending too much time online today Time: 08:15 pm Current Mood: Don't want to talk about it.

Someone posted this as a response in the Buddhist community. I think I'm feeling the relevance today. ***** This isn't a definition of love, but one useful way of looking at it. When I love you, I identify with you in such a way that your happiness becomes my own. This can be a deeply spiritual connection because it represents a conceptual departure from the dichotomy between "me" and "you." how can you love those whose happiness may not coincide with yours? The loving comes in the connection, the identifying your happiness with my own. That feeling is distinct from whatever external circumstances might arise. I can say "I'm sad for me, that this has happened. Yet, I am happy for you, for it has brought you joy." Of course, that is a difficult circumstance, and I will probably wish for a compromise where we both are happy. As far as love becoming excessive and leading to attachments: of course, but love isn't the only thing going on there, you are talking about a mix of love, attachment, desire, maybe even obsession. We are capable of having a great many complex interactions of emotions, even contradictory ones.

Since I'm here I thought I'd share. I'm working at my sister's house today -- that's where I go when I need to do computer stuff. She just walked downstairs, to the basement where the computers are, holding an unwashed leek. Today she's wearing plum corderoy pants, a celery polar fleece vest, and an autumny plaid shirt. "I've got to take a leek!" she exclaimed. Additionally, she called me at nine in the morning a week ago to tell me that she had found the cause of all my problems. Keep in mind that, since I have no job now, I rise at about 11am, this was pretty early. I also have no land line and I get crappy reception inside my house. So, I'm sitting out on the porch in my nightie listening to her wild theory about my hormonal makeup and why that made me violently anxious. My god! I thought. Then I went back to bed. This weekend my sister was baking bread. She makes this fabulous whole-grain rye about once a week. So, she puts it in the oven, and when the timer goes off, she takes out the cooling racks and goes to bed. Her and her husband were woken by the smoke at around 5am. Three days later, the house still smells like rye carbon. There are little dishes of baking soda all over the house. She's baking again tonight, but I'm not leaving until I get some bread.

I hadn't realized that it had been quite so long since my last post. A brief update, not necessarily in order: I went to the Bahamas. They were fabulous and full of sun and stuff. Occasionally rain, so that I wouldn't get homesick. How thoughtful. I quit my job. Shortly after I got back from the Bahamas, I walked into work and just about cried from misery. I had been at April Cornell for three years. It was time to go. I got some rest. I realized that I had been working myself to death at that place. I had no time for anyone, not even myself, and I was really losing the drive that I had. Now I have plenty of time, just very little money. I'm much happier this way, although I'm still looking for a day job. I am, as a consequence, much more accessible and less nuts than I was. I changed my eating habits -- again. I dropped a lot of sugars from my diet. That rampaging hypoglycemia that's only been getting worse for the past few years? Practically gone. I went to the hospital. I went to the hospital with another ovarian cyst. After that, they put me on a hormone cocktail (estrogen and progestin, lowest dose) that made me sick. After I told them to shove their Alesse(r) where the sun doesn't shine, they put me on progestin supplements. That has helped the premenstrual depression and anxiety. Mostly. I'm still getting cysts, though. I plunged myself into creation. Most of what I have been doing since quitting has been the writing and workshopping of a new work for the start-up production company that Jessica and I have been working on. That company is Intimidating Women Productions (no, it really isn't referencing either riot grrl-esque grrl empowerment or lesbian mores -- it's just an inside joke). I have a hell of a lot more to do on the business end, though -- I've been lazy there, and, though Jess is a great spin doctor when it comes to pitching our stuff to producers and such, she hates the fiddly bits of business. ***** All in all, I feel great. I had a rough week last week, culminating in me crying over at my girlfriend Gina's house and a rousing session of "Boys suck, let's do our nails" that I was totally unprepared for. I never do my nails! Yet here I am, tapping away in copper-lacquered luxury. Perhaps there is something to this feminine ritual that I may have missed in my teenaged years... I'm a little blocked (although my nails do look pretty) and haven't been able to write for a week, in addition to having awful insomnia. I'm on the upswing, though. Later I'll tell you all about the new show, but for now I've got to go.

A note to all: I'd like to ask everyone for their patience and forgiveness. I have been rampantly busy the past few months, and I'm sorry. I realize that quite a few of you have left messages (more than one, frequently) on my phone and that I haven't answered. My schedule is really full right now and it's hard for me to remember to get it all done in the time allotted, much less remember to call everyone back. It's not that you aren't important to me, it's that I have NO TIME! Wah! Anyway, please attend the show I'm working on. That would mean a lot to me, and anyway I'll have more time for you after that goes off. The main things I'm working on right now are work, show, and my own company. Once at least one of those things is done, life will be easier! Also, no one take it personally, but please bear with me if I have to skip out on plans with you for any reason. I'm not getting a lot of sleep, food, or rest time in general, and Hell Week is fast approaching. I'm really, really wiped and every day I have more shit to do than I thought I had at the beginning. Here's the play info: March 13, 14, 15. Edmonds Community College, Triton Union Auditorium. 8pm. You may be able to ask BlackManxy for directions, as I suck at them. Or look it up on the net! Oh, and the show is Fahrenheit 451. It might be good, or it might suck, but we'd be glad to see you any way. (Jessica has promised to come twice.) Thanks in advance for understanding!

...Which pretty much sums it up. I'm cold and it's dark, so I want to sleep all the time, preferably just after having taken a bath and with a hot water bottle. Unfortunately, I don't have a bathtub right now, or a hot water bottle. My kitty will have to do. So, also, coming down off the Winter Holiday of Your Choice Madness. Was v. stressed out and busy from work, etc. I'm finally starting to get more sleep again -- that helps a lot. So...I'm sorry if I've been ignoring everyone. Work kinda really sucked. Other than that...I just don't have much to say. Dunno. Later. *** Moondog: If you get this, call me! Are you still coming? What flight are you on? What's happening?!? Don't be put off by my weird voice mail message. Tell me if you're not coming so I don't have to clean tomorrow -- though I should anyway.
