Old Town, Pasadena, California

Location: home, laptop, couch.

Weather: pleasant, cool, partly cloudy at 57°F/13°C.

Activity: AG forum, other sites online; relaxing after coming home from a coffee date.

Apparel: slim blue cotton t-shirt, deepest indigo denim bootcut jeans, bare feet.

State of mind: thoughtful, reflective.

Mood: relaxed, calm, almost meditative, content.

Thoughts: I'm pleasantly bemused at the fact the I actually went on a date. A date! Just came back home from this awesome coffeehouse in Old Pasadena, a sweet loft style place which is anything but Starbuck's, and they have wi-fi and I want to spend afternoons there writing. My date picked me up in his dark green Mercedes and we drove there, he suggested the place. It went sweetly, his accent was enamouring (but I then I do have a weakness for accents), and we bonded. We'll meet up again, as he kept asking me what my schedule will be, LOL! I'm in a sweet mood tonight, looking forward to working tomorrow.

Location: home at my desk.

Weather: Sunny, cool, and very windy.

Activity: Working on a mix cd for someone, casually browsing AG forums and TWoP forums.

Apparel: blue jeans, black lacey top thing, bare feet, huge ridiculous owl necklace.

State of mind: TOO thoughtful. I wish my brain would shut up.

Mood: so-so. I'm anxious and fidgety for no reason I can discern.

Thoughts:

-Why am I so fidgety? I should do some house cleaning, that will settle me down (I hope). The lawn needs to be raked but I HATE raking.

-Should I respond to someone whose asked me if I'm interested in doing some illustration work? I'm feeling insecure about my abilities at the moment.

- I hope my cat isn't sick. I'm taking him to the vet on Monday. What if it's his kidneys? Poor kitty. My cats are getting old and it's upsetting.

- I wish my Sudafed would kick in and get rid of my sinus headache. I hope my doctor doesn't notice that I still haven't gone to get a sinus x-ray even though he gave me the forms for it 6 months ago.

- Should I go out tonight or not? Maybe I'll go look for Dreamfall and have a nice night in.

- I hope my mix club partner likes the mix I made. I need to stop obsessing over it and changing it.

Location: Home, couch, laptop.

Weather: Evening, clear at 59°F/15°C, and pleasant.

Activity: AG forum, listening to NPR news programs, catching up on email, and will soon play an hour or so of Dreamfall before retiring.

Apparel: White cotton t-shirt, grey cotton shorts.

State of mind: Attentive (to the news).

Mood: Tired from running around all afternoon, but quite satisfied.

Thoughts: Gawd, I love the city! Just spent most of the afternoon walking around and exploring downtown Los Angeles, particularly around the garment district. I love the gritty atmosphere, the old ornate architecture of the buildings, and the mostly Mexican owned stores and all the bustling around. It's amazing how all that is within my reach, yet I'm cradled in the sweet nest that is South Pasadena, just minutes from downtown. At Union Station (where I switch from the subway train to the light rail train to get home) I picked up a huge beef burrito to go from a street market tacqueria. I can't believe I ate it all! I'll have no trouble sleeping tonight.

Location: My room at uni. (sigh)

Weather: Cloudy and overcast, with just a touch of blue sky peeking hopefully through the clouds.

Activity: AG forums, soon to start work on an essay.

Apparel: Red jumper and jeans.

Mood: anticipation to finish uni, but somewhat satified that, if I follow my timetable, I should get all my work done.

Thoughts: All over the place at the moment. I always, subconciously or conciously, think of my boyfriend back home, and how much I miss him, usually coupled with very strong urges for university to just hurry up and finish. Got to remember an appointment for tomorrow, and of course, my immense workload is occupying my thoughts quite alot at the moment!

Location: At our computer.

Weather:The sun is trying to force itself through the clouds. 10 degrees C.

Activity: AG forum. Have just played an hour of Scratches. Will leave the computer and create some dinner.

Apparel: black jeans, black top under a v-neck (expression?)army green top.

Mood: Tired in a good way.

Thoughts: I´ll have to check on Johan who´s in bed with a terrible wryneck (expression?). He couldn´t get out of bed this morning by himself. His head is turned right and it´s really painful for him to move it the slightest.

We call that "having a crook in his neck". I used to get those when I was his age. Basically, they're a cramp that comes from sleeping in an odd position all night.
As with all muscle cramps, circulation and potassium are the keys to getting him over it. He should drink orange juice and eat bananas for the potassium, and take a long hot shower with the water jet aimed right at his neck to increase the circulation in that area. If you have a massaging shower head, so much the better.
I hope Johan gets to feeling better very soon.

Thanks for the advice. He is gradually getting better. He´s now up and is also able to turn his head straight forward and a little bit to the left. I´ll be taking him to a naprapath tomorrow if it still is the same as today.

Location: At the computer.

Weather: Sunny and spring-like, although it's going dark. My window is wide open, and until it went a bit cooler with the setting sun I had lots of people sitting on the grass opposite. Wish I could have joined them - need a laptop and a big Ethernet cable.

Activity: Avoiding work. Regretting my decision to listen to all of the music on my computer in alphabetical order, and I'm only up to "Ap". At least the Abba is out of the way.

Apparel: Jeans, ski club T-shirt, zip-up blue top.

Mood: Airy, but I need to work. Which isn't a good combination.

Thoughts: I'm really glad it'll be summer soon. And I'll shortly be finished with my project, for better or worse, so I'll have lots more time to spend outside! Woo.

I am now seriously considering buying a second-hand laptop. And big Ethernet cable, obviously.

State of mind: happy, i'm very happy. I'm relaxed for the first time in 6 months, but i'm also frustrated because there is this one person that i love more then anything in the world, i would do anything for her, she feals the same but her lover for me is'nt the same way.

Mood: it has been a good one since april 14, just relaxing and preparing to go back to work next tuesday.

Location: My computer in my room by the huge northern window (Which I just closed, so the night flies don't come in to the light. Will have to put up the fly net in the next weeks.)

Weather: Clear, starry sky.

Activity: Browsing forums, dowloading NWN mods, waiting for my garlic oven cheese to finish baking. Giggling about baby pictures of me (and of my sisters), which I just looked through to find one suitable for the yearbook.

Apparel: Pyjamas.

State of mind: Giggly. Happy, though a bit anxious because of French AP.

Mood: A bit restless, but generally comfy. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Thoughts: Why does my father have to complain where the scissors are to me? Why does he always think that *I* forget to put things back? I might not be as tidy as my eldest sister, but I am in no way as messy as my middle sister. And then he says the scissors are not in the plastic tool drawer because they're not *supposed* to be in there. Guess what? They were in there. The scissors were probably lying outside in the kitchen when our cleaning fairy came, who then put it in a drawer that seemed right (plastic. But it's supposed to go in the miscellaneous [and battery tester. And bits of string. And glue.] drawer.). I love my father, but I can't help to be annoyed at his repeated stubbornness. That's where I got my stubbornness from, I guess.

Location: See every other post I've made. I may have a laptop, but it doesn't move much during term time...

Weather: It's dark. All day the weather has been fairly miserable if not actually raining, but it's difficult to tell that at night with little light available.

Activity: Browsing the AG forums, checking the BBC news website, just come from playing Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, thinking about watching Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Apparel: Again, see every other post. My clothing choices are at least predictable, if incredibly uninspired.

State of Mind: Much better than yesterday, when I decided to go through one of my emotional slumps. Vaguely worried that I did very little work today, but otherwise fairly complacent, except for the nagging should-have-learnt-some-play-lines feeling.

Mood: Indecisive. I always have so many things that I could be doing that I don't actually do any of them .

Thoughts: I have a horrible feeling that I'm going to chicken out of playing Call of Cthulhu before long. And at least I'm not over-analysing what I perceive to be wrong with my life like I was yesterday evening.

When I look at my children I can clearly see what they got from me. Some of it are qualities I was hoping would go away in the blend of genes. When Johan and I (he´s very much a male version of me ) get on each others nerves it´s because we are too much alike. The good in it is that I often understand his reactions although I don´t always agree with him.

Location: Uni room. (AKA The Prison Cell!)

Weather: Quite nice now, for once. Sunny and somewhat warm.

Activity: Just aobut to start work on my dissertation, but procrastinating on here for the time being.

Apparel: Brown trousers, dark brown jumper.

State of mind: Stressed. I feel like I can't cope with all this work at the moment.

Mood: Tired and quite depressed, even though I've just got up and had a wash.

Thoughts: Why is Gemma (Jemma?) such a miserable, moaning little *****? Literally all she says to me is a complaint in my direction. I'm not sure how much more of this I can take before I relent and go home for a few days. (Which I really can't afford to do..) I miss my bf loads, and need to put some more posters up here, my room still looks like a prison cell.

Location: Home, couch, laptop.

Weather: Cool, light rain, 63°F (17°C).

Activity: AG forum, listening to Nanay's typical 'prescription for life' (gotta love her). Will be playing Dreamfall again soon.

Apparel: Fresh white cotton t-shirt, grey jersey shorts.

State of mind: Slightly light headed from sinus weirdness (associated with fluctuations in the weather), otherwise fully alert.

Mood: Tired from a day of work and running around, but still content.

Thoughts: YES!!!! After hunting through several 'wholesale' perfume sellers in the garment district in downtown L.A., I finally found my precious Dunhill Edition cologne (you reading this, Scottsie?) !!! The guy I bought it from told me it's now rare to find it, they may have stopped producing it (damn!). Still, I'm so f***ing happy! It's my favourite scent, makes me feel at once masculine, distinct, and sexy (one of the ingredients is sweet tobacco - top notes: lemon, petitgrain, bergamot, clary sage, basil, lavender; middle notes: clove, cinammon, nutmeg, geranium, muguet; base notes: cedarwood, sandalwood, amber, musk). You know, you can wear the most basic, cheapest white cotton t-shirt and jeans, but NEVER EVER skimp on fragrance, because that is what truly sets you apart (and can also play a vital role in whether you get a date).

Not sure what I'll be doing tomorrow on my day off work, but I'll try and go see Silent Hill sometime in the afternoon.

Location: My apartment in the campus area, sitting in front of the computer.

Weather: The weather is awesome here at the moment. Spring finally came to Finland a while ago, just in time for the First of May. It's sunny and bright - still a bit cold though - but it's the most perfect weather for being outside. Too bad I enjoyed the beautiful weather too much some days ago: I hurt my left foot when I was out jogging.

Activity: writing this thing, soon to be taking a shower and eating something and trying to study for my German exam which is in three hours.

Apparel: Jeans.

State of mind: slightly anxious. If there was a word for "the feeling you get when spring has come", I would use it, but alas, I don't know it. (No, not horny.)

Mood: worried, thinking about the past (uncharacteristic of me)

Weather: Gorgeous!

Activity: Eating my lunch (chicken soup) and snickering at one of my cats who has somehow managed to get a piece of popcorn stuck to his nose.

Apparel: Jeans, maroon t-shirt, ponytail

State of mind: Excited! Dreamfall dreamfall dreamfall.

Mood: Pretty good. Restless. I feel like travelling.

Thoughts: I'm wondering where the heck a $100 cheque I received last week has disappeared to. I had it on the kitchen table and now it's gone.

PS Jaz: My mother used to always accuse me of taking anything that she couldn't find, scissors especially! It drove me nuts. Once she thought I had taken a kitchen bowl (???) and had it hidden in my locked sea chest. Pfft. She later found it somewhere odd she had placed it absent-mindedly. Of course she didn't apologise.
