I ran into Nina on the4 seabus yesterday-- that is, Ziggy/Arrogant_Gamer's Nina from KMM. Hear that, Ziggy? I've tried to convince her to come back to KMM when it starts again, because she is extremely cool. She said she was surprised that the movies there werre good movies, the ones she watches, and she's a bit of a film buff from Korea-- bu tthat she wasn't disappointed, because they're the kind of movies you can watch again and again.

I've decided that I'm going to stop thinking girls are crazy, and more realistically will think that many girls are crazy, but not all.

Today I have my contacts appointment after work. I need to schedule an appointment for Sweetie. I'm not sure if they'll need an exam visit plus a surgery visit. I wish this wasn't in tuition-due month, but screw that. I'm not moving too, I should squeak by somehow. I find myself sad at odd times. None of my rats died as a result of a long, slow illness. I know I'm getting ahead of myself-- sweetie is pretty healthy, this is a first tumour, etc. I dunno. Graham came over last night after class and he played with the rats while I changed the cage. They crawled up under his shirt while he lay back, and I told him that's what kept me alive during the breakup with Kynnin. I was moving out, we were 'broken up' but I was still living there then, and I used to lie on the bed naked and let them crawl all over me like that. It tickled, and I'd laugh and laugh.

I tell that story a lot, when I'm talking about why I love my rats. There will be new babies son, and the whole thing will go on. I think I do love them "more" than I love most people-- it has to do with not having to worry that their freedom will hurt me. OF course, it's a smaller kind of love because they're less complex things, so maybe in the end it's not more, just more wholly. I don't know.

I'm no longer in a position where I can say everyone's leaving me even if Juggler goes to Thailand, mom to Japan, and Graham to KElowna, and Sweetie dies. There are too many people left.

Love you guys.

Hey, you should give her my email address: dryadess at gmail dot com. Or tell her: I won't be there this Tuesday, my work schedule is weird.

I especially suxorz at understanding people across accents because I have abysmal hearing/verbal language processing, but I found once I got in 'the groove' that she's really well-spoken-- it mostly is accent, not language barrier, with her.
