Graffiti

I do believe I would like to branch into the real thing, with physical results and paint and smells and evidence and consequence and an audience.

Tying a bunch of holes Together

The hole in my hammock is big enough for my entire arm and shoulder to fit through to make it possible to hug while on the hammock without it going numb. I'm all better emotionally, but completely mortified because of the cause.* It was a spectacular evening and we had fun carving pumpkins and I got the alpaca. :D

*PMSing ended last night, but I didn't know until eleven

"I love you" vs. "Love you"

I am in even less control of my emotions than I usually am, and the difference made my cold, sleepless night into a physically ill morning. Once might not have bothered me if the next time I was reassured, but twice has sent me into an insecure panic and has what will eventually not be a little stuck on my mind. I knew it would hurt, but there's not even anything behind this. I think there's a difference, and I hope it's not prompted by anything.

I'm going to try going vegetarian for a month. I understand the concepts of economic vegetarians and social vegetarians and health vegetarians, but I'm doing it for none of those reasons. I'm doing it because vegetarians taste better and I want to return the favor. Only for a month or so, until sometime after Halloween, but it could potentially backfire. I think Sarah C. is a vegetarian, and I don't want to rekindle memories. I also don't want to imply I'm flattering him by mimicking his lifestyle choice, though I do admire it. It could potentially be fun. Lunch and breakfast are almost always meatless, so dinner is my only obstacle, and I've eaten a lot more fruit than I would otherwise. Vitamins to supplement protein and iron are back in my diet and a whole lot of water to clear out my system faster. I started yesterday and we'll see how it goes.

No Meat but the Vegetarian's

He got me flowers and wore Chuck Taylors

They're beautiful and smell very cool and light. I've never gotten a bouquet before and I don't know if there's any special way I'm supposed to dry them so I can save it. I felt very much myself because I was wearing my fancy heels that cost more than $20 and a dress that only I have owned and a necklace I bought with my own money with flowers gotten specifically for me that took effort to get, and yet not me because I only ever wear things that are secondhand. It was nice. I had a lot of fun.
