greenstormI went out last night to Gavin's going away party. It was a gesture; I really like Gavin, don't really know how to make that meaningful, so I thought I'd show up so he knew I was thinking about him and was glad he was coming back. I had basically given up on conversation; I believed that at this point all my friends were capable of talking about was sports, internet memes, and... was there anything else on that list?
I ended up on a discussion of peak oil, post peak oil bioagricultural and social scenarios, soft vs hard apocolypse, satanism, paganism, and how to self-identify in a religion, reindeer herding, ornamental vs edible landscaping in a modern-day setting, etc. Lots of people contributed. One particular friend is doing a project called

One particular friend is doing a project called <a href-"http://yearoffaith.net/">A Year of Faith</a> which is kind of cool, so about 3am when he left and mentioned that project in passing he catalyzed the discussion anew-- and for me and lovely enough for someone else there the religious element comes right back to the agricultural element so we were full circle.
I am so glad. I guess this is what I miss by not getting out to see people often-- I miss both the frequency of contact that allows me to overlook blah ones in favour of good ones, and I miss learning enough about people to know who will talk about cool stuff and how to engage them in dialogue.
I came back to babies that were so fat they were almost triangular -- little head, huge milk belly -- and a mommy rat who didn't bite me and bed with Angus.
Plus I discovered I can go a bunch of my floor exercises while watching ted talks in th new setup Angus found for the livingroom.
And I'm bleeding, so PMS is over.
All is well. All is very well.
