The thing is, I guess, that I don't think friendship should be work.

Ok, let's clarify that. Like any relationship, maintaining a friendship requires effort. But it shouldn't feel like you're working. It should flow. Things should pass because you are friends, and friends make mistakes.

For a little over a week now, I've been treated like anathema. And I'm unwilling to put up with it anymore. I knew there would be a cost for the decisions made in the last week; I guess this is it.

Nice weekend.

Got a lot of packing done. Now I only have a hall closet to clear, my office to finish up, and my computer/desk to dismantle (but I'll wait until a couple of days prior to the move for that). Mike's living room is filled with crap, fortunately for him he moved his center of living into his bedroom.

Saw Terminator 3 on Sunday. Wow. Impressive. They actually took the less obvious direction, which I don't see enough of in American movies these days, even in the era of the "twist ending."

I have determined that even though Science Fiction is my preferred venue, I am going to attempt a romantic comedy. We'll see how long before I throw the idea out.

This week I shall call Misha and find a time to meet sometime in the next few weeks. I miss old friends and the smell of Geek Brains cooking.

Ok. Militants of any stripe bug the crap out of me.

The LAST thing I want as I pick up my morning Chai is to be proselytized and have the bloody Watchtower shoved under my nose.

Oi.

Hmm. There's something interesting happening to my head.

You see, I don't find myself repulsive anymore.

Now, sure, I've been losing weight, but out of 100lbs I need to lose, I've lost only 30. Now, that's nothing to sneeze at, I know. But it still leaves me 70lbs overweight. And yet, I suddenly am not disgusted with myself. I don't hide myself, and I've given up wearing the denim overshirts (at least until the weather cools down), which I knew didn't really hide anything but which made me feel better. I simply don't need them anymore.

I'm fairly certain this change isn't entirely due to the weight loss. But I can't wait to see how I feel when I'm down to my target.

I've been saying for a long time that California ought to secede from the Union and form our own nation.
