reunion week on livejournal

Someone who I've been looking for on and off for about ten years now just reappeared on the face of the earth and showed up in my journal. I hadn't heard anything from or about him since the summer we worked together almost 11 years ago, and I can't explain how utterly thrilled I am to know that he's still alive and remembers me. It's...a very long story, but the short version is that because of him I realized that one really could be in love with more than one person at a time, even if there was nothing to be done about it other than a dramatic farewell kiss.

Between this and my former fiance reappearing recently (both of which are good things), it's been nostalgia central lately. I will have to assume that I have google to thank for both these things. I know that B. (the former fiance) found me because he was searching google for something utterly unrelated to me, but somehow my URL ended up in his search results. I'll have to see how the other one came about.

thanks Rob!

Today is Pungenday, day 58 in the season of Chaos, 3168.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Week of February 28, 2002

To attune yourself best to cosmic trends, party every day this week. If you can't find a bash, throw your own. If no one you know is in the mood to get rowdy, find new friends who are. I trust you don't need any excuses to revel, but here are some, just in case. March 1: The energizing planet Mars enters Taurus, and expansive Jupiter straightens up and flies right in your astrological House of Krazy Glue. March 2: It's the feast day of Hypatia of Alexandria (370-415), first great woman mathematician. March 3: What If Cats and Dogs Had Opposable Thumbs Day. March 4: Give Everyone a Gift for No Reason Day. March 5: Sing "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star" After Inhaling Helium Day.

If cats had opposable thumbs, we'd all be killed in our sleep. We all know the only reason they keep us around is because we can work the can opener and the front door and they can't.

How about celebrating "they finally made a GIR in his dog suit stuffed toy" day? ( Need! )

(no subject)

Leaving the office tonight the full moon was just coming up over the horizon and glowing a bright orange; it was clear and cold and the moon looked close enough to reach out and touch. I think if I hadn't been on a major highway I would've pulled over and tried. Maybe if I get in my car and just drive I'll eventually get to a place where the moon will be within my reach. I wish I knew where that place was. I think it's my special talent in life to keep wanting things that I'm just never going to have. Thwarted by reality once again.

The wanderlust is back. I want to just get in my car and go...somewhere, I don't know where. Pack up a few clothes and some driving music and my camera and go see what's out there. Unfortunately I'm in a position right now where I have to be responsible and get up and go to work every morning. One day though...
