Chilling at the salon, and a few life updates.

So, I decided to resume some of my uh . . . beauty regime, yes. I am now sitting at Dosha, in Portland, awaiting my appointment. I got here early because they warned the parking was bad (and boy is it!) and I did not know where I was going. Oh, and I uh, forgot where I parked. I'll figure it out, anyway. It's right by a Starbucks, in a paid parking lot.

I stopped at Straight to the Point and picked up a pair of 00 glass spirals, utterly gorgeous, and I'll stretch with them. I don't know if I'll stop at 00, or 000 - I thought I'd stop at 0. Well then.

I met a really amazing guy. The relationship has grown at an amazing speed. I can't even begin to admit how smitten I am with this man. He seems to be the most accepting person I've ever met; I have been beyond brutally honest with him and he's not yet scared off. I'm not quite sure how this is possible, really. I will be attending Orycon with him this weekend, actually. I'm really looking forward to this. It's pretty hard for people to get me to go out and socialize in crowds and I haven't been to a convention in a very, very, very long time. Suffice to say that I feel safe with him, and he invited me. So I am going.

Work is going well.

Life is going well, actually. I love my work, I have some great friends, and I've met this great guy. I haven't been this happy in a good many years, really. Perhaps I can start writing some more interesting stuff on here again? Maybe some uplifting poetry or a short story. Maybe I'll even begin a novel.

Oh, and I've lost quite a bit of weight since I started my diet. How much? Never you mind, enough that I'm feeling particularly motivated and excited.

I got a fortune the other night in a fortune cookie (irony?) that said to save the fortune, in 3 months I would have good news. That's 3 days before Valentines. Perhaps I'm getting ahead of myself, but I really, really do feel this relationship has that kind of potential.

Yes, I prefer my fortune. I added a picture of it so that i’d remember exactly what it said. ;)

Something in between…
