I want to know where you were going before you edited your post!

I guess I've got travel news, too: for three weeks from the 4th of September I'll be in Sweden and Finland with my dad, mainly hiking in the far north (Lemmenjoki National Park in Finland, somewhere around Abisko in Sweden). I will turn 29 in the Arctic! Which will actually be a repeat of my 25th birthday, which was awesome.

Sheer clog spread,

  Some of you may know that i got an internship (unpaid) at a blacksmith shop at the start of the summer. Which is great. But now, it's gotten busy, and they decided to hire me, as in pay me now, on a fuller schedule, which is double awesome. So now i'm getting paid to learn how to do cool stuff with fire and steel and heavy equipment. Hell, today my boss showed me how to use a forklift. Crazy. So far this has been my busiest, and because of that, best summer in a long time.

That Hungarian fence project looks super cool. I spent the last week at a machine shop learning machining processes for engineering purposes. You don't get to be nearly as creative with that :-/

When the zombies come, I know exactly where I'm going for all my beatdown tool needs.

I could probably actually do pretty well with just a piece of rebar but it's cooler if it's a hand-forged piece of rebar.

Lets not have the zombie attack discussion again guys, that shit gets out of hand.

Dear Blog Thread,

My friend got back from America so on Wednesday we are going out for margaritas so I can hear all her stories.  She claims Americans are way nicer than Australians.  I claim she is lying.  You guys are jerks. <3

Love Jodie

Last weekend I went to my friend Eli's annual Pride Party. Cue lots of dancing and lots of gayness. Anyhow, a friend of ours was there and we got on really well and were getting quite close, by the next day we were cuddling and holding hands and all that. I was certain it was just all the drugs we'd taken and we had just become much closer friends. We went for tea and cake today and then took a stroll down into the Pavillion.

It wasn't the nicest of days, but the rain, while occasionally spitting did not come down in a deluge as we expected. So we found a tree by the Palace and sat down and just chatted about our lives. I was still certain we were just getting to know each other (I should have known better - she was coming on to me something rotten. But I am an idiot) but we started to kiss. And kiss some more. And it was wonderful and special and incredible.

I immediately felt guilty as I know she has a partner. However it's on the rocks and she told me she has thought about me every day since last week. I thought about it and realised I'd thought about her every day since I'd seen her last.

So there I was, kissing a beautiful woman ten years older than me, being told that she's infatuated with me.

Life is sweet sometimes, as well as being unnecessarily difficult and complicated.

Now I'm listening to the XXXchange remix of House Jam by Gang Gang Dance, and I'm dancing my arse off. Such a tune.

[crossposted because it's just too hard to write again]

Two days ago I broke up with Matt. We'd been together more than six years, since we were in highschool. We were the very best friends and roommates, but not the best of anything else. It was the longest and hardest decision I've ever made, but I am sure it was the right one. I feel extremely cold and lonely and upset right now, but I hope everything works out. I hope he can move on and go and have the fantastic life we planned, but I just can't be a part of it the way he wants me to anymore.

Sigh.
Times like these I realise what actual, real live friends are for.

Dear Blog Thread.

I am not sure how this works, but it looks like people just say what is going on in their lives, I think.

So my girlfriend is at summer camp, my best friend's girl friend is in cosmetology school, and my other best friend is single, so we had a party at my house last night, cause my parents are out of town. Was pretty cool. Until someone decided that they needed to tell me why drinking alcohol was bad and I am going to hell. So I kicked them out, and the party kinda got hit by a downer...

You guys have any advice for situations like that? Like how to get a party going back after supa drama with the host?

With cake ownership set to C and cake consumption set to K, then C + K = 0.  So indeed as one consumes a cake, one simultaneously deprives oneself of cake ownership.

Dammit, those are both really good ideas. And you know what the real problem was? He would not have said a damn thing if his girlfriend had not told him to, because I have drunk with him before... bleh, pussy-whippedness ftl.

And yeah, a lot of my old friends are raised in Christian fundamentalist homes, and then they act like "oh, we are big bag rebels!" and then they come around and bitch slap me like this... bleh, I am whining.

I got back from Cardiff to find like 10 birthday notes from forum folk on my facebook thing, thank you everyone. I also learnt some welsh and did some rad bartending. I got rained on because it's Wales and you practically have to. The festival (the bit I was at, at least) closed with a welsh version of Jump Around which was pretty great. Jwmp rownd.

Dear blog thread,

A few minutes ago, Wells Fargo sent me an email notifying me that I had overdrawn because they charged me service fees for fuck knows what. I have 30 days to fix it, otherwise they'll call the Bacon Army and put the $6 on my permanent record (fucking with my credit score). Fortunately, I get paid in 8 days. So those bastards can suck my cock and die in a fire.

On the upside, I found out that a really hot girl I know back home in California is also a guitarist. She's a gear whore just like me. I want to make out with this girl so fucking hard you have no idea.

Love,
Me!

Gay is not when you still like your ex. Gay a word to describe happiness, or a sexual attraction to somebody of the same sex. If you are going to use that word, please use it properly. Thank you!

I'm going to see my ex and her boyfriend in a month. Well, she is not really my ex anymore because it has been like four years and we've been good friends since, but man she is like "the ex", my first girlfriend over whom I got horrifically depressed about for like a year afterwards. It was pretty lame and sad of me. The reason this is significant is that I also haven't seen her in four years. She went to UF and then broke up with me over the phone, so the last time I physically saw her we were still dating. It's weird.

I wonder if it will be awkward. It will probably be more awkward for her boyfriend than me, actually, I think.

Unless you are indeed gay or bi and are reclaiming the word.

It's a complex issue, and not one that is going to be debated with any sense on an internet forum. So let's leave it.

If you don't want to use gay, use gae. Tis an old word, but still.

To Your Blogginess,

I got a job interview! I went to a job fair for the two main theaters downtown, Music Hall (where the symphony is) and the Aronoff Center (where the Broadway shows come) and I talked to the two ladies who run ticketing and they were impressed with my customer service experience and happy with how much availability I have (considering I'm done with school and lacking in the job department), so they set me up with an immediate interview. Since the line was long to talk to the ladies, I saw that only a few got immediate interviews, so yay!
