Just got home from enjoying The Decemberists. What a show! There was much rocking, and bouncing, and I met some nice people. Also got to exchange some hugs & madcrazy waving with Tony & Laura. I am proud of myself for taking the night off and feeling not guilt...since I finished the homework that is due tomorrow, I felt I was owed. Working on the one day at a time approach here, folks.

The article ran in the Daily Emerald about my bike. Hopefully something turns up. Working on getting the Register Guard to run one as well (no link for them until they comply!).

Halloweenie was lots of fun. I was Space Vixen, and I was accompanied by my Space Monster. We attended an okay party, and a fun party. We only stayed at the okay party for about 1/2 hour, so I must give it credit that it could have gotten better. The time there wasn't super fun, only a few ppl made any effort to talk to us. The fun party was filled with hugs & chatty folks, much better!

Friday was my 8 year anniversary of being injured. We celebrated with a "gourmet party"
(as one of the partygoers referred to it) hosted by Dima. She made salmon in puff pastry, shaped to look like little fish. They were all different, and all adorable. Many bottles of wine, lots of cheese, and many many other goodies were consumed. 8 years marks the pottery/bronze anniversary, but I received no pottery nor any bronze statuettes. I was so hoping. A few friends were invited that um...*ignored* my invitation. I followed up several times, and even issued personal requests (rather than a group email). I straight out mentioned how important it was to me. But no response. I think that's a pretty clear statement, eh? I didn't let them get me down, too many others who are super awesome around to let it. It does hurt, though.

Anyhow, I'm tired, and a little out of it. Must get more than 5 hours of sleep tonight.

Word.
