12:17 am	..... Well, it's been awhile since posting and now it's more unpleasantness and tragedy. Yesterday morning i held my ten year old cat, Ari, and watched him leave the world behind, Curt was there with me and, needless to say, all of us have been nearly hysterical with fear that we'd lose him and complete grief when we did. we've been crying for days. Somehow he got outside Sunday night and, much to our shame, no one noticed for 18 hours that he wasn't around. I fell that at his age and mental state( he was altered at 5 months) the trauma, shock and fear was too much and started the approach of the end. I'm already sure that he's with me now as a ghost cat (of which i have 6 or 7) since Curt has felt Ari on his shoulder ans even Terry has noticed something. We're all pretty far gone at the moment, so much that that friend of mine, Frank decided to dispute what it was that took Ari from us and i nearly tore his head off...never saw ANYONE shut up so fast. There's not much else that is very important in comparison to this so i'll just sign off. Current Mood: Grieving Current Music: ABBA: My Love, My Life (6 Comments |Comment on this)

12:19 pm	Not much up since the last, mostly keeping the guy's from starting up another EPIC Save-The -World campaign in AD&D. Seriously, one is all i can handle since i'm not getting any younger (people might talk if i were). Got one epic going now and that's about it for my heart/nerves. On the lighter side, a friend of mine that's trying VERY/TOO hard to teach me 3rd edition (and CLEARLY wants too much for me to go entirely 3rd) is showing me, yet again, how badly he DM's a game. The purpose of playing this is to have fun and enjoy it and with Frank's style... i'm not. The details aren't real important but that kind of heavy force and the optionals he's using for "educational purposes" are WAY too much. Oh,well. Sooner or later he's going to ask what i think about his game and, unfortunately, i might lose my good manners and tell him EXACTLY what i think of it, that'll probably spell the end of that friendship but since at (nearly) 33 he acts like a teenager of 15 (or less), well, i have someone like that already and he behaves better. Besides, Frank has bonded quite nicely with Curt seeing that they're both rabid X-Men fans. I strongly suspect that Frank has Asberger's Syndrome, a psychological condition that can, sometimes, result in an inability to emotionally mature and is related to A.D.D.. I know that i'm a bit immature for my age but i'm much more so than some that I know... Something that Frank hasn't caught onto yet is that i've grown emotionally AND have grown a backbone since he's been gone so long, he seems to think that i'm the same person he knew before and without extreme measures I'm not sure how to get him to understand these facts. Maybe i'll figure out something before it's too late. Well, enough for now, Ciao Current Mood: Uncertain (4 Comments |Comment on this)

2:45 pm	(sighs) Been so long since i've posted i'm beginning to forget just how to do this... Lesse, got a new computer in the house and it's much faster so i get to hear less complaining about slow comps, the guys are still mindlessly bickering/ talking endlessley (i'll probably pay for THAT comment later), managed to have the Parade ruined for me yesterday.. Oh yeah, coming up on the BIG 50 soon. A guy i know tries to make it into something not-so-hot by going on (WAY to much) about how that's a whole half century and i'm getting SOOOO very old (rolls eyes dramatically) and the best comeback is that i'm STILL older than he is and i'll still be older than him when HE kicks off since i'm planning to outlive him! Anyway, i can only go on so much about complaining about things seeing that i'm not very inclined towards drama so i think i'll just close up and head off to the army surplus and fetch myself a little napalm (just for cleaning purposes you understand), gotta get the place neatened up for when i get High speed installed.

2:27 pm	More fun...NOT Hey, two posts in less than a week?! Must be on a roll or sumthin' Anyway, found out that my Yahoo identity is so screwed up that i can't access it and the emergency "random generated password" provides nothing but a blank space (repeatedly) pretty much means that it's more or less on the dead side and i'll have to create a new one... Not Happy. Oh, well. As for Saddam's execution, He'd better be happy it was a hanging. If i had been there it would have been MUCH worse than that after all the pain and suffering he had caused to so many. Nuf said! And that's about that for now.

4:21 pm	VICTORY IS MINE!!! Got a message from Lou last night, that he's coming with a friend to get the stuff Sunday afternoon and take it away. All i can say is FINALLY!! I get the chance,now, to get at the stuff of mine and start to get some of it on it's way to new owners. Some of it has been in ther for a very long time and i'm fairly sure that i'll rediscover any number of old treasures that i've forgotten. I also promised to dig up my old Alexandrite ring for Curt to wear as long as he promises to take very good care with it since i'm pretty sure it's antique but that's up to him to assure me of that. Anyway, it's time i sat back a bit and vegetated some, i'll be sure to post something tomorrow or monday about Lou's things being out of my place and, i'm VERY sure, it'll be rather "catty" (MWAHAHAHA) Ciao Current Mood: Deliriously happy Current Music: Pat Benatar: Shadows of the Night (1 Comment |Comment on this)

11:43 am	HOWDY!!!!! Guess who's back after one HELLUVA long hiatus. Finally got a good chance at the computer AND actually feel like doing something with it so HERE I AM!! There's been way too much happeneing lately for me to try and catch it all up here so i'm not gonna try to hard to do so, I;ve been having some health issues with fatigue recently and have been seeking out means to compensate for it. Finally decided to send my old roomate an e-mail telling him that after nearly two years of keeping his stuff in my closet it's time for him to either get it or say goodbye to it all...i've given him two weeks to deal with it starting tomorrow. HORRAY FOR ME! I'm STILL trying to get the place clean and keep it that way but i'm not having a lot of luck with that idea. Anyway, i'm just doing a bit of venting with this so i'll just leave this as is and see what i can do about snaging time later. Ciao Current Mood: touched (9 Comments |Comment on this)

1:14 pm	WOW!!! Posting two days in a row?! Haven't done this in a LONG time. I had to reactivate my hotmail account today since i had ignored it for so long, lost saved messages and entire folders that i'll have to re-create. Bummer Just watched the remake of Planet of the Apes again and i still like the original better. Not that the remake isn't good, i happen to like the original a bit more. No accounting for taste, huh? Next i think i may go for either that animated Sinbad movie with the oh-so delicious Eris (Goddess of Discord) or Bedknobs and Broomsticks. (Some choice isn't it?) I suppose i'll have to get SOME kind of housecleaning done after that (BLEAH!) but someone has to and i guess it's me. Bummer x2 I did get to see Narnia and i'm more than sure that it'll end up in the movie collection but i'm rather hesitant about the third X- Men movie. A certain person has very strong opinions about this and doesn't seem to like anything i have to say that differs from his set ideas about X-Men and how it should be done. Oh well That's more or less it for now Ciao Current Mood: Still busy Current Music: Cher: Dark Lady (1 Comment |Comment on this)

12:45 pm	By personal request I've been asked by some to get back here and make a post of some sort, so here goes..... !!!!!POST!!!!! But seriously, i've been occupied a lot lately and haven't had the time or, sometimes, the energy to go online and do things that i should be doing and my not being around may have worried some out there so HERE I AM. I thought about posting New Years Resolutions on LJ but never got around to it. The thought occurred to me that actually putting them up in words would just set me up for a fall like so many have experienced so i'll simply say that i got plans for some changes in my life for the better and i'll just let others know about it all once i've made a foothold on these alterations. Easy, direct and simple. That should dp it for now so i'll sign off and try to do better about being OL more often ( no promises ) Ciao Current Mood: busy Current Music: Madonna: Vogue (4 Comments |Comment on this)

2:39 pm	Overdue...AGAIN It's been almost two months since i've done this and there's WAY too much to try and remember for posting here. Much of what's going on can be found on nievelion and ingonyama70s journals. It's not easy keeping up with two men in their 20's but somehow i'm (sorta) managing to do so. We've been indulging in a definetly different style of Dungeons & Dragons lately and the personality differences between the two of them show up like coal on a snowfield. Times are i wonder just how they've stayed a couple for so long but, hey, you know how love is..... A couple of weeks ago i lost another cat to some strange illness (i think it was leukemeia) at only 9 years old. I wasn't as close to Topo as i was to Gandalf but i still miss him, and his brother, Ari, is still with us. As dumb as he is he's likely to live until he's 20 which isn't going to suprise anybody much. I'd sent Ari and Topo's original Person an e-mail about Topo's passing but as yet no response.Buffy and Willow seem to be adapting better and i might not have to put Willow up for adoption like i thought i'd have to. Thanksgiving is closing in and i've got some ideas about dinner that night, i'll just have to work my way around any finikyness that anyone might have about certain foods That's about it for now, more or less, so this looks like a good time to sign off for now. One might need to flex a few muscles once in a while to get some more computer time around here Ciao P.S. Really gotta call some people i haven't spoken to for a long time (More muscle flexing for phone time) Current Mood: busy Current Music: ABBA:You Owe Me One (4 Comments |Comment on this)

12:11 pm	*Sighs* I'll try again later when, hopefully, i'm al least semi-rational to catch up on my freinds list and make B-day wishes to people I don't have the strength now (Comment on this)
12:00 pm	Why me? I don't feel so good... What is it about me that i can't get any emotional support from these two here but i'm expected to give everything that i got for their emotional turmoil? I'm not a happy camper. It's been however many days since i stopped smoking and at the moment i really don't give a **** about it. i'm tense, stressed and mad as hell and i'm about two blocks from getting a pack (since it's about two blocks to the Walgreen's). I need to get out of here for a while before i totally melt down (i can barely manage to type this without going back all the time) I'm outa here (4 Comments |Comment on this)

5:40 pm	25 days not smoking... The cravings are way down and my temper's, more or less, back to normal meaning that S.F.s fairly safe from being blasted out of existence (joking there). Pretty soon i might be able to seriously consider myself a non-smoker on a permanent basis (i hope). Sometime later tonight i'm planning to go and get a candle to light and offer up a silent prayer or two for the innocents lost four years ago. I still don't understand why this had to happen and, maybe, i never will since i'm not able to hate so virulently as some people(loosely used term) are able to and even if they see no punishment in this life mayne, just maybe, they will in the next. One can only hope Ciao Current Mood: thoughtful Current Music: ABBA: Cassandra (5 Comments |Comment on this)

12:39 pm	Oddities of space and time A couple of nights ago i had two rather peculiar dreams: the first involved my mate that passed away several years ago and a friend that died of alchohol based liver disease last year. The second had young adult, genetically altered space dwarves..... I can't even begin to guess where THIS stuff came from! The inside of my head can't be THAT messed up! nievelion has been wanting to hear various stories of my past, usually involving assorted strange happenings. What's odd is that describing the house i grew up in sent chills up his spine simply by the way my voice ebbed and flowed during the narration...the ghost story about the house really sent him up *evil laugh* In other news, i've gotten word from the T.V. that the water is being drained from New Orleans even now and many are apprehensive at what they'll find (i would be too) and that more than a few people have gone all out to blister the goverment for a far too slow respone to this disaster. I'm inclined to agree with these people although i can understand that an incident such as this MIGHT just cause a delayed response from sheer shock at the magnitude of it all.....doesn't mean that for one moment i condone it, i simply understand how it could happen. I think i repeated myself somewhere along the way with this.....hmmmm We all decided to try and install another litter box for Willow in the hopes that she'll use that while we're trying to gether to adjust to the other cats *crosses fingers* More later as the gossip..er, i mean, news comes in Ciao Current Mood: All over the place (Comment on this)

1:52 pm	Oh yeah, almost forgot......... 18th day not smoking and still not amused. But S.F. is still standing and no unexplained smoking holes anywhere. (1 Comment |Comment on this)
1:10 pm	TOO MUCH DATA!!! (long semi-mindless ramblings) Lessee, it's been about a month since the last fit of self-pity here with sporadic seizures here'n'there and, for the time being, i'm out of that place. On to more recent events, not in any specific order. Hurricane Katrina for starts: one BIG ASS MUTHA OF A STORM that caused devastation beyond belief. I can understand the slow response to such a force and it's, somewhat, unexpected results in places...i dont accept the slow response but i understand it and now with the military stepping in the efforts to save New Orleans and the people will be faster. I saw on the news that the classic and historic French Quarter is mostly un harmed and that went over well with nievelion who had visited there once, i've only seen parts of it on t.v. and movies. There's someone we here know down that way that was in New Orleans about the time that she hit and we've ( Me, ingoyama70 and nievelion) been rather worried to, at times, close to panic about. Thankfully the info this morning tells that zeiroslion is safe and in Dallas with family. There's more than a little relief hearing this. A friend of ingoyama70 wants to go to the area to help rescue pets that had to be left behind in the evacuation/flood and i've heard that redmaul has plans to volunteer for a week. I'm looking over finances and hoping to make a respectable donation to ther Red Cross for relief efforts, it wouldn't be much but if 1,000 people donated $20 each it does add up eventually. A little (or not so little) something's coming up later this month down on Folsom Street and, maybe, i might just go down there with nievelion and pup_ajax (if he's available), and redmaul should he be back from New Orleans while ingoyama70 will probably be at work, maybe he can take off for the Castro Faire in October...? Did i mention all the house cleaning lately...? The bad news is that one of the girl cats that i've taken in will probably have to go since she's not adapting to the apt. and the others cats in it. We really can't take her using everything for a litter box BUT the litter box. I'll have to talk to the guys and see what they think, taking Willow to Animal Care and Control can mean that she'll be picked up for adoption, picked by the S.P.C.A. for adoption or (a small, remote chance) termination, she's very young and very healthy so has a very big chance of the first two options. On the other hand, if i take the boys down there's a very large chance that due to age and health conditions, mostly caused by lou's neglect of them, that they'd face almost immediate termination. I'd still have Buffy and the boys here if i take Willow down or i'd still have the girls if i take Ari and Topo down there. A bit too complicated to think about at the moment. And so i think I'll bring this to a close for now, maybe it won't be another month before the next post Ciao Current Mood: busy Current Music: Ace of Base: Tokyo Girl (8 Comments |Comment on this)

2:50 pm	The ninth day of not smoking....Not amused at all Haven't been around much since last time, the comp's still pretty busy but Thursday last week redmaul told everyone that he was moving to a friends place that day or the next. Took me a while to process the info as i had not been awake very long and the caffeine hadn't gotten all the way to my brain yet. Josh had gotten some help with gathering things together and getting it all down the stairs to be picked up and it sounds like he's pretty happy with his own space to hang in. Taken me a few days to adjust to his absence around here and quitting smoking at the same time....i've, naturally, gained a couple of pounds in the process. nievelion and ingoyama70 are keeping busy with things (which helps reduce those little incidental squabbles) Not much else really so...
