~ Fun at the Beach
   As I drove down the street looking for another eatery, I thought I'd drive by the ocean. And then I thought I might as well stop. There was plenty of parking available, and the smell of the saltwater was calling me.

   And then I thought, "Why didn't I just have the officers in that cop car take me to the hospital?" I'm suddenly so logical once I'm awake!

~ They don't call it OBSESSIVE Compulsive Disorder for Nothin'!
   Sometimes I feel like pushing it away, pretending I don't have it at all, that my adrenaline levels are just fine, thanks, and that I'm not petrified of all the brand new situations I keep throwing myself into, but that doesn't usually help. Unfortunately, wishing it away has never worked.

~ Ocean Sunset
   To our pleasant surprise, the sun was an orange globe still sitting just above the horizon when we stepped out of the car, put on sweatshirts and jackets, and walked over to the cliffside.

~ The Good, The Bad
   Also, I'm a little pissed at the fickle shower. It seems -completely bored to tears- at the idea of maintaining one level of water pressure, or just ONE temperature, for the entire length of a shower.

~ New Home
   Of course, when we signed the lease, Chopin's funeral march played in the hallway.

~ Moving Stories
   At first I drove super carefully (read: Granny-slow). Once I felt like I got the hang of it, I drove that thing around like a pro. I even envisioned having a pickup of my own someday. That is, until I filled the tank.

~ In L.A.!
   I awoke at 4:30 and was on the freeway, croissanwich in hand, by ten after six.

~ Bad News
   I kept my hopes up all the way until I got Ricky's email today. And then I cried my eyes out.

~ Seriously Going Insane
   Ashley got accepted into EATM. Yay for Ashley!!! Now... my turn! Heh. Right? Right??

~ Last Hike with Loki (for a while, anyway)
   I guess I shouldn't have felt surprised to find my tears streaming into Loki's fur in the backseat of Bobbi's car.
